'Armor worn by soldiers loyal to Godrick the Grafted. The surcoat depicts the distant Erdtree and the beast regent, an emblem of the golden lineage. Both are symbols of glory now past.' The Soldiers of Godrick are the canon's most pathetic standing army, a scattered remnant of the Royal Capital's old infantry that fled west when the Shattering broke Leyndell's order, and that took up garrison at Stormveil to serve a demigod whose blood was, by the canon's flat sentence, sorely diluted. Their surcoat depicts an Erdtree they no longer guard and a beast-regent whose throne is a thousand miles away. Both, the canonical detail says, are symbols of glory now past.

'Ashen remains in which spirits yet dwell. Use to summon the spirits of two of Godrick's soldiers. A duo of spirits, consisting of a wielder of devastating charged hammer attacks in the vanguard and a crossbowman bringing up the rear. The soldiers who serve Godrick the Grafted are what remains of the army that fled the royal capital of the Erdtree.' Their Spirit Ash is the canon's record of how the Shattering ends for the rank-and-file. They survived to serve the runt of the demigod litter ; they died on Stormveil's parapets in the Tarnished's first major siege ; their ghosts now fight, summoned, beside the Tarnished, against everything the orders that sent them west had promised would not happen. The vanguard hammer-wielder and the crossbow-rear are the canonical formation of the Capital's old order ; they have not unlearned it, even when used by the wrong commander.
