Scions of Mythal (Arcane Warriors, Dalish General's Bodyguard) image - Dragon Age: Total War mod for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms

Since the fall of Arlathan, the Elvhen race has lost some of it's most precious knowledges, foremost among these is the school of magic known as "Dirth'ena Enasalin", or "the path that leads to victory", the way of the Arcane Warrior. Many Dalish mages have spent decades seeking to learn Dirth'ena Enasalin, skulking in ancient ruins and forbidden forests lost to time. Those few that find the path are often spoken to by the goddess Mythal herself in dreams, and are said to become wise in the path through her, spiritually joining the ancient order of Arcane Warriors known as Enast'Mythalen, or "Scions of Mythal", blessed by the Elven goddess of protection and willpower herself. The Dalish Elves who become Scions are entrusted with the protection of the most valuable Elves in the clan, the Keeper, and their trusted associates. When the clan marches to war, these Elves wield enchanted greatswords augmented by their magic, turning them into formidable and powerful combatants despite their low number.
