The Moonlight Blades Aspect Shrine is my own personal Aspect Shrine I have been working on. Thanks to Virlandil I now have some art at last to show off of the base Aspect Warriors of this Shrine.
Wearing the same Heavy Aspect Armour as Dark Reapers, Fire Dragons and Striking Scorpions, the Moonlight Blades are well-defended whilst still possessing impressive dexterity and alacrity. Like the Striking Scorpions they are an Aspect focused on close combat but, whereas the Striking Scorpions rely on stealth to undermine their foes, the Moonlight Blades instead focus on assaulting the most heavily armoured of opponents to cleave through with their Crescent Great Axes (Effectively Power Great Axes). As with all of the Aspects individual Warrior Temples and Shrines can differ in apparel and aesthetics, this particular one belongs to the Mirrored Moon sect of Craftworld Loufiwea (created for Stahl Sector by Camille).
In addition to their Crescent Great Axe the other recognizable piece of equipment worn by all Moonlight Blades is their Sariour Chakra, the device on their backs, linked into the armour, generates a powerful holographic field about the Moonlight Blades, akin to the Clone Field used by certain Drukhari, it provides further protection to the Moonlight Blades in combat.
The somewhat leonine visage of the Moonlight Blades is a tribute to their Phoenix Lord; Lady Lalinoi Arhain, the Herald of Night, also known to her pupils as the Roar/Lion (word meaning ambiguous) of the Moon/Darkness.
Indeed; of late numerous Shrines of the Moonlight Blades have appeared in the Stahl Sector, independent even of their home Craftworlds, for news has spread that the long lost Lalinoi Arhain will be found here, her armour finally taken up by one of her successors, so she might return.
