Ducitora Soldiers

Ducitora soldiers are a group of soldiers in Azura's army from Ducitora, aka The Iron Empire, in "The Crown & The Flame" series. They first appeared in Book 3, Chapter 2.

Appearance
Ducitoran soldiers wear the standard silvery-white armor consisting of a breastplate over a plackart and bulky shoulder guards with gray streaks adorning the plates. The joints, waist, and neck are uncovered and serve as weak spots, as advised by Val Greaves to a Fydorian soldier-in-training.

Personality
Ducitoran soldiers' most defining quality is their undying blind loyalty to Azura, constantly praising her and feeling honored to do whatever assignment she gives them. They believe that she is a perfect deity who will bring order to the world, and do not hesitate to surrender their life force to her.

Their immense adoration for their ruler is likewise their weakness: Leon Stirling managed to distract and kill a soldier by exploiting his reverence to her, and Val Greaves succeeded in tricking and removing soldiers from their posts by manipulating orders supposedly from Azura.

Upon Azura's death, they began showing the same reverence and adoration to her daughter and their new empress, Lia.

Armor Designs
Unlike the other kingdoms, soldiers of Ducitora have five helmet variations.
