Pearl Dragons
Elite warriors that parry and block projectiles with polearms before answering with a devastating charge.It is easier to pin the wind than to hit a member of the Pearl Dragons! Their light tunics allow these agile warriors to move quickly to easily dodge enemy blows, their gou lian dao polearms deflecting incoming projectiles so that they bounce off and clatter harmlessly to the ground.
The gou lian dao is a polearm with a curved blade and a smaller, sharpened hook. An offensive as well as defensive weapon, it is especially fearsome in charges against engaged opponents.
