Archons trace back to an ancient time when the world had
hardly been formed, when primordial beings battled the gods
for control of creation. In this cataclysmic conflict, the deities
marshaled armies of angels and cadres of exarchs, and though
the primordials could call forth titanic beasts and giants, they
could not muster a true military to face their enemies until
they found the means by which elemental creatures could be
reshaped and hammered into soldiers. The warriors formed
through this process were the first archons.
Two kinds of archons are presented here: fire archons and
ice archons. These soldiers are bent on returning the world to
the rule and whim of the primordials, and fire archons and
ice archons have no issues working together to achieve their
common goal.
The archons presented here are but a small sampling of
the archons that exist. In addition to a multitude of fire
archons and ice archons, the Elemental Chaos is home to
archons composed of (or combining) other elements as
well. Air archons, earth archons, and water archons are
commonplace, but one doesn’t have to travel far in the
Elemental Chaos to find crystal archons, slime archons,
and storm archons.
Archons of different elements freely associate with
one another, although bereft of strong leadership they
are prone to infighting. A typical archon army is a jumble
of many different kinds of archons, just as the Elemental
Chaos is a jumble of many different elements and energy
types.
When an archon dies, all that remains is its armor, and
sometimes its weapons. Some archons, such as ice archons,
wield weapons that melt away when the archon dies.
All Archons are D Rank monsters.
