Overview
Heartpiercer is an elite Shadow Warden of the Order, posted to guard the White Serpent House on Meigu Lake.
His short axes never cease spinning. In his grip, the pair of wheels rotates along with his steps, so every strike flows into the following one. As he moves, his sleeves open out like moth wings, and a lengthy clash can end with not a speck of dust upon him.
For years the Order has employed three elite wardens: Heartpiercer, Cavalrybane (the Pangzhen streets) and Soulclaimer (the Pangzhen docks).
