The Frost Sentinels were an elite formation within the Geban Empire's military, drawn from Ngorrhal’s towering passes and genetically distinct lineages. Originally the apex warriors of the Ngorrhali people, they were formalized into an imperial unit immediately after winning their civil war with the help of the empire. Known for their towering frames, harsh-environment resilience, and silent discipline, they were the Empire’s solution for prolonged sieges in mountainous or stratospheric conditions.
Key operations focused on high-altitude blockades, wall-of-death firing arrays, and escort duties for shock divisions like the Emperor’s Wrath. Their physiology and doctrine made them ideal for pairing with extermination campaigns, especially when attrition was expected. The Empire formally erased ancestral names, integrating them into loyalist ranks through relentless conditioning and performance-based elevation.
Their DNA became the foundation for the first Engineered. Though the unit itself dissolved, their techniques, genetic code, and siege doctrines were preserved within the next generation of imperial design. Many descendants today continue the lineage under new banners, both in imperial remnant militaries and private warlord commands.
