| + | As the technology of the Forsaken | ||
| + | has advanced through the years, | ||
| + | rediscovering lost secrets of science, | ||
| + | the ability to use one of the foundations | ||
| + | of civilization as a weapon has once again | ||
| + | been revived. Fire, a cornerstone of cultural | ||
| + | advancement, has always been a tempting weapon for | ||
| + | humanity. The Forsaken were unable to harness the power | ||
| + | of pure fire as a weapon for many years, until scientists researching | ||
| + | possible fuel sources inadvertently rediscovered a gelatinous flammable very | ||
| + | similar to napalm. The implications of a fuel solvent that would cover an | ||
| + | object, stick to it, and burn continuously were immediately apparent. The | ||
| + | scientists reported the discovery to the Army of the Forsaken. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The military engineers immediately set about devising a practical use for the | ||
| + | new discovery, but were daunted by the size of the equipment needed in order | ||
| + | to properly use it. Pressurized tanks were already in use for fuel storage and | ||
| + | injection systems, and smaller versions were developed in order to transport | ||
| + | this new weapon’s ammunition. A rudimentary hose system | ||
| + | led from the tanks to the sprayer of the weapon, a pistol shaped | ||
| + | device that controlled the output of the fuel through | ||
| + | a narrow nozzle. Triggering the burst of fluid sets a geyser | ||
| + | spraying out from the nozzle, capable of covering targets | ||
| + | over five meters away in a broad splash. The igniter | ||
| + | burning at the tip of the nozzle turns the gooey, stinging | ||
| + | solvent into clinging sheets of flame. The engineers, | ||
| + | thrilled with the success of their development, | ||
| + | presented their new weapon technology to the | ||
| + | Saints and Templars, who for once were | ||
| + | in complete agreement. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Flamethrower technology is | ||
| + | improving in leaps and bounds | ||
| + | for the Forsaken, but it is | ||
| + | still temperamental at best | ||
| + | and outright lethal at | ||
| + | its worst. The leaders | ||
| + | knew that no truly | ||
| + | sane soldier would | ||
| + | ever agree to carry | ||
| + | the flamethrower | ||
| + | into battle. The | ||
| + | response of the | ||
| + | Prevailers was | ||
| + | simple: regardless | ||
| + | of sanity, find someone to use them. Thus the Firestorms were born. Culled | ||
| + | from the least stable of all the Forsaken troops, the Firestorms are often those | ||
| + | with an unhealthy obsession for fire, all too eager to distribute their particular | ||
| + | brand of flaming justice to those who oppose the might of the Forsaken. | ||
