A Grook peddler and a Nazetu priest from Ollin answered this call; acting on divine inspiration, they crafted the weapons known as reliquaries, vessels capable of storing Divine essence and weaponizing it in a form particular to the teachings, the personality, and the ways of the God which it reflected. Reliquaries were capable of drawing on the ambient power from any shrine. Although each reliquary could only contain so much, they provided a valuable tool for hindering the Nazedha; this would be crucial in the skirmishes to come. | A Grook peddler and a Nazetu priest from Ollin answered this call; acting on divine inspiration, they crafted the weapons known as reliquaries, vessels capable of storing Divine essence and weaponizing it in a form particular to the teachings, the personality, and the ways of the God which it reflected.

Another way to battle the Nazedha came in the form of a long-time tool for Chaos entities: the orb and prism sigils. Thrown at a Nazedha warrior, these would disrupt a chaos shield. Enough of them would destroy the shield temporarily, allowing for damage to be done. However, without hindrance, a Nazedha could simply raise their shield again, or cure themselves of the damage; so it was that a mixture of reliquaries and sigils were needed to combat the threat, and though at first the Aetolians did not fight well, they grew in skill. One Aetolian warrior in particular, Serrice, earned the admiration, respect, and fear of the Nazedha through her canny understanding of their tactics. | Another way to battle the Nazedha came in the form of a long-time tool for Chaos entities: the orb and prism sigils.

Three sorts of elite Nazedha were distinguished during this time: Enforcers, Blackguards, and Sages. The Enforcers were brutes, wielding chains and bludgeoning foes into submission while defending the Sages. The Blackguards employed stealth, including a kind of phase and ambush, suppressing those that used reliquaries. Finally, the Sages were the priests and healers of the Nazedha armies, calling upon vicious Chaos beasts and using their skill with magic to fight the droves of warriors that opposed them. | Three sorts of elite Nazedha were distinguished during this time: Enforcers, Blackguards, and Sages.
