The Armiger ~ New White Box Class

Specializing in the use of blast powders and firearms. Armigers alone hold the secrets to the use and construction of firearms. All follow the code of upholding these secrets. To break the code is to be damned and hunted by the Armiger clans of Ridoom. Armigers never part with their firearms and should an Armiger fall- an apprentice earns their rank by retrieving the fallen Armigers lost firearm and returning it to the clan elders. Each Armiger specializes in the use and repair of flintlock pistol & musket. The techniques of which are handed down to each Armiger through their clan Elders.

Each Armigers firearm carries engravings on the barrel and ivory hilt. Ancient runic scripts that are believed to bind the spirits of their victims to the weapons themselves.

It is rumored that the eldest of the clan leaders know the secret of making enchanted ammunitions.
