Editing Archon (section)

==Elemental Archons==
Introduced in 4e, the Elemental Archons were the soldiers in the armies of the Primordials. They are more than just Elementals: what others lack in regards to self-awareness and initiative the Archons do have. While being highly militaristic and strictly adhere to their superiors they are almost always [[Chaotic Evil]] because they want to return the world to its shapeless and fluctuating form prior to the arrival of the gods. They of course do not like this, which was the entire reason the Primordial War even started.

After the gods defeated the Primordials the Archons fell to the service of various elemental lords, both petty and great. They still retain their desire to return their masters to their rightful place in the world and would potentially betray everyone they work for to see this done.

Archons exist out of one element (fire, ice, earth, water, lightning etc.) like normal Elementals do, but instead, they wear armor over parts of their body. They almost always armor their torsos, [[pauldrons|shoulders]] and heads, though the exact nature of the armor varies per type. They are human-sized, with everything above the waist being the same shape as humans but instead are made out of one element. Some of them wield weapons made in the style that fits the Archons, but some use weapons made out of fire, ice and so on. If an Archon would be slain it dissipates, possibly alongside its weapon(s), but leaves behind its armor: while a [[PC]] can wear it, its light construction makes sure it does not offer a lot of protection.

Before 4e ended, the following Elemental Archon types had been provided with stats:
* Fire
* Water
* Earth
* Air
* Ice
* Storm
* Iron
* Mud
* Magma

5e refluffed the Elemental Archons into the more generic '''Elemental Myrmidons''', making them a neutral allied creature that can be made by conjuring an elemental into a suit of armor. This will mindwipe the sentient mass of its past free life.
