Tools and tactics#

Fero's primary armament consisted of a Thornax LauncherThornax LauncherThe Thornax Launcher was a scrap-built projectile weapon produced by Agori engineers, firing Thornax fruit and standard across Glatorian and Skrall ranks. and a blade. The ThornaxThornaxThornax was a hardy desert fruit native to Bara Magna, eaten unripe as stew and fired ripe from launchers across Glatorian and Skrall ranks., a fruit that could be detonated as concussive ammunition, was standard issue across both the GlatorianGlatorianTribal warriors of Spherus Magna who settled disputes through arena combat, until the Skrall conquest enslaved most of them. and Bone HunterBone HunterDesert nomads of Bara Magna who raided for survival until their alliance with the Skrall nearly conquered the continent. ranks. Fero used his launcher to open engagements at range, scattering targets and creating dust cover before closing on a mount.
