The '''Silent Antinium''' are a variation of the [[Antinium]], created and ruled by the [[Silent Queen]]. ==Appearance== Silent Antinium resemble a cross between a mantis and an ant. They have scythes for arms and scuttle on four legs.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/04/26/7-19/ Chapter 7.19]</ref> ==Abilities== Silent Antinium are specialized for infiltration, ambush and assassinations. They're also good at finding traps, mundane and magical. They possess natural adaptive camouflage. It can trigger automatically, and renders them virtually invisible.<ref name=":0" /> They're even able to foil [Detect Life] spells.<ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/23/s02-the-antinium-wars-pt-3/ S02 - The Antinium Wars (Pt. 3)]</ref> Their scythes are razor-sharp, comparable to enchanted blades. They can swiftly and easily dismember targets with great precision.<ref name=":2">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/02/16/interlude-hectval-pt-3/ Interlude - Hectval (Pt. 3)]</ref> As the Silent Queen is the best Shaper of [[Izril]]'s Antinium Queens, every Silent Antinium is a masterpiece by their standards.<ref name=":0" /> ===Weaknesses=== While sharp, their scythes are also brittle. And as the blades are specially treated, they do not regrow even if the Antinium's restorative gel was applied. The Silent Hive doesn't invest in restorative gels anyway, as the Silent Queen did not believe they would live long enough to justify that investment of resources if they're ever injured. And since they do not have hands, they need help from other Antinium to feed themselves.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/08/05/7-39-a/ Chapter 7.39 A]</ref> ==History== Silent Antinium were deployed in the Second Antinium War to assassinate high value targets. They were opposed by the [[Assassinβs Guild|Assassin's Guild]] in what would be called the [[War of Sighs]]. Casualties were estimated to be extremely high on both sides, but while the Guild had yet to fully recover in the south, the Silent Hive could replenish its numbers much more easily.<ref name=":1" /> Silent Antinium have been sent to retrieve [[Klbkch]]'s swords whenever they were stolen, assassinating whoever had them in their possession.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/04/01/interlude-stories/ Interlude - Stories]</ref> No Silent Antinium were initially sent to the Free Hive like the Grand, Flying, and Armored Hives had done. Some were sent later when the tunnel to the Hivelands was built,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/03/31/7-16-l/ Chapter 7.16 L]</ref> and they helped support future pushes into the [[Liscor's Dungeon|Dungeon]].<ref name=":0" /> Silent Antinium were deployed during the war between [[Liscor]] and the [[Hectval]] alliance to rescue [[Crusader 53]]. They were present in the conflict from that point on, though the [[Prognugator|Prognugators]] denied their involvement, and they weren't allowed to show themselves.<ref name=":2" /> Silent Antinium were among the forces from the Hivelands gathered to assist the inn defenders on the Winter Solstice.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/11/19/9-65/ Chapter 9.65]</ref> They struck the undead from behind when they attacked Liscor.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/11/22/9-66/ Chapter 9.66]</ref> After the battle, they clashed with the Ranks of [[Roshal]] trying to abduct certain people in Liscor.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/11/28/9-68/ Chapter 9.68]</ref> ==Notable Silent Antinium== *"Thief"<ref name=":1" /> === Silent Prognugators === * [[Maev]] * [[Xeu]] * [[Zai]] ==Trivia== ==References== <references /> [[Category:Groups/Organizations]] [[Category:Antinium]] [[Category:Silent Antinium|*]] [[Category:Izril]]
