The Onyx Lords

Dark-stoned twin to the Alabaster, gravity-pushers rather than pullers

'Unique Skill: Onyx Lord's Repulsion Thrust the armament into the ground to create a gravity well. In addition to dealing damage, this attack sends enemies flying away.' The Onyx Lords are the Alabasters' dark-stone counterparts, same meteor-born stone-skinned race, opposite gravitational polarity. Where the Alabaster Lord's signature skill is a pull-spell that draws enemies inward, the Onyx Lord's Repulsion is a push-spell that hurls them outward. Both are thrust-into-the-ground gestures that open a gravity well; the polarity is what each lineage chose to emphasise.

'Unique Skill: Alabaster Lord's Pull Thrust the armament into the ground to create a gravity well. In addition to dealing damage, this attack pulls enemies in. Has a greater area of effect than Gravitas.' The pair's binary reads as a rare canon-level metaphor for the universal force itself. The Alabaster–Onyx Lords read as a doctrinal split: as if two twin lineages of stone-skinned ancients, born of the same meteor, had each pushed one side of the same force to its extreme. Radahn studied under one of them in his youth. The gravitational powers the Red Lion General wielded were, the Remembrance of the Starscourge tells us, learned in Sellia during his younger days, his master an Alabaster Lord with skin of stone.
