Knight-Arcanum
Knights-Arcanum are mages of the Valedictor Temple of Stormcast Eternals charged with the recovery and protection of lost knowledge but they are also powerful wizards that can command the storm in battle. [1]
Role
Knights-Arcanum are sages and loreseekers of the Valedictor Temple to which when promoted is a permanent sentence and a Stormcast of the temple can never join or even form a close bond outside their ranks. They bear knowledge that is both vital and terrible which they are forbidden from forgetting. To aid in this they use mnemonic gemstones linked to Hysh which aid in storing large amounts of knowledge but at the cost of dissociating from themselves. Thus they discard their previous identities and replace their names with various titles. They also tend to be quite eccentric or in some cases outright mad. Their weird quirks such as a tendency to speak in riddles or attempting to follow strange hunches far from their command tend to irritate more hardline commanders. [1]
In battle they wield meteorological sorcery empowered by their forbidden knowledge and the magic of Realmspheres. Their ability to unleash fist-sized hailstones and gales of storm magic upon enemies results in Stormcast Eternals forgiving their odd behaviour. [1][2a]
