When the defenses of Kelemkar collapsed and the forces of the Heresiarch attacked the defenseless metropolis, the only place where the townspeople could find refuge was the stronghold of the monastery of St. Clair. The ancient fortress was home to the Sacramental Sisters, whose prayers had unusual healing powers. However, prayers alone could not stop the enemy and the inhabitants of St. Clair took up arms. The defense of the stronghold was led by the Elder Canon Joan Abatemalco, dressed in the ancient noble armor "Antioch" and armed with a consecrated power sword and the "Righteous" fire system. Her courage and valor were in no way inferior to the strong walls of the monastery, and in the end the enemy was forced to lift the siege and retreat.
