Kymara

“Whether it's a dirty job, a lecture on the Ohros, or a tactical savant, you always knew what you were getting with a Kymara of old: a soldier, through and through.”

The Kymara

The Kymara were formed to train the best and most promising warriors across Adamah in an environment separated from political aspiration, religious rhetoric, and the nepotism of the ruling classes. When you train as a Kymara, it doesn't matter what your Genotype is or where you come from — what matters is what you could become.

The result is a highly coveted fighter who has been encouraged to act with honor and stand as a paragon of what the ideal warrior should aspire to become. Those who choose to walk the path of a Kymara do so with the hopes and traditions of the best of Adamah on their shoulders.

Able to turn the tide in battle and dictate the flow of combat, a Kymara is the leader and vanguard of any fighting force. Their loyalty to their chosen friends and commitment to the causes they choose to embrace makes them a valuable ally — and one who you want by your side, always.
