	<div style="float:right; width: 500px; clear: right;"><box>'''Marks and Channelling'''<br>What sets the heralds of Cold Sun apart from many other enemies faced by Imperial heroes is that they are the direct beneficiaries of the eternal's power. When the text speaks of marks, or channelling, it is often using in-character language to describe effects ''equivalent'' to the [[enchantment\|enchantments]] created by Imperial magicians. Cold Sun's heralds are rarely equipped with [[magic items]], but all of them are empowered with an enchantment that draws on one or more of the [[Day magic#resonance\|resonances]] of the Day realm. For example, a ''scion'' might be empowered with effects reminiscent of [[Horizon's Razor Edge]], [[Blades of Clear Sight]], [[Alignment of Mind and Blade]], [[Kimus' Glaring Eye]], [[Irresistible Stance of Force and Focus]], [[Arete and the Fields of War]], or other unfamiliar (but equivalent) abilities.<br><br>Not all the scions' abilities can be reproduced with ritual magic. The ''archon'' leaders of a Cold Sun contingent in particular, can have unique powers that draw on the resonance of the Day realm, but don't directly replicate existing skills or enchantments.</box></div>		<div style="float:right; width: 500px; clear: right;"><box>'''Marks and Channelling'''<br>What sets the heralds of Cold Sun apart from many other enemies faced by Imperial heroes is that they are the direct beneficiaries of the eternal's power.

	Collectively the heralds of Cold Sun refer to themselves ''scions'', with different groups of heralds having their own name based on their role. They are all highly disciplined however, and absolutely zealous in their pursuit of the eternal's goals. They are clearly individuals but they seem to value their existence less than they value the eradication of life in the mortal realm and are capable of an unsettling degree of self-sacrifice in pursuit of their aims. They don't engage in insults or threats in the way a mortal might; if anything their calm commitment to the total eradication of their foes is one of the most upsetting things about them.

	All of the heralds so far encountered appear capable of channelling the power of Cold Sun. Some of them are empowered directly - [[enchantment\|bearing marks of Cold Sun]] that enhance their ability to pursue its aims or grants them the ability to deliver blows supported by [[Day magic#Force\|magical force]].
