Overview
Experts in the static arts of war, of siege and the destruction of fortifications. The grim demeanour of these warriors is a key feature of many of the most bitter defences and bloody assaults in the early years of the Great Crusade, for to the adepts of the Host of Stone all war was a simple matter of determination. Those that did not yield to the foe, who stood impassive in the face of utter destruction, would find victory and those who gave way would be crushed underfoot.[1a]
In time, the Hosts would be reorganised into the six Wings of the Hexagrammaton.[1a]
