Uncharted empires
Uncharted empires
introduCtion
Behind the massive walls of Therennia

Adar, deep down in the twilight gloom
of the city streets there is a door. It is a
nondescript, unremarkable wooden door,
passed daily by the feet of thousands as
they go about their daily lives. The door
has no key, no handle that can be seen by
those who do not know its secret their
eyes slide past as they walk on, unseeing.
of black ink made from the blood of

hydras, scratches its way endlessly over
a fantastically detailed map of the entire
world. Since time forgotten, the quill has
faithfully recorded the ever changing shape
of the world; the rise and fall of empires,
the kingdoms and borders that shift and
merge and come and go. The fate of entire
civilisations and the decisive events and
battles that have dominated history have all
been steadily and dispassionately recorded
by this unerring cartographer.
Yet behind this unexceptional door,

protected by spells woven by Valandor
himself almost one thousand years ago,
is a vast room, lit by glittering mirrors
that cunningly re-cast soft light from the
heavens far above. Tiered wooden shelves
surround the central chamber, heavy
with the dusty books and grimoires of the
learned elven races. In studies and lecture
rooms off the main hall, students and
teachers absorb the knowledge recorded by
their ancestors while scholars continue to
chronicle the history of the world and the
secrets it contains.
As an observer you can ask the map to

redraw itself to show the world as it was
at any time. It is possible to watch the fate
of nations unfold as they have struggled
to survive to the present day. The destiny
of the noble races and their influence
on the surface of the world is clear but
perhaps more intriguing is to study the
minor players or those that fall between
the cracks of history. The authority of the
noble races and the impact of the major
forces of darkness are common knowledge.
But to study the map is to understand the
subtle influence that the so called minor
peoples have had on the shaping of the
world and the ripples of their interactions
down the ages and into the future. You
can also see the places you never knew
existed. The world is much bigger than
many people believe.
At the centre of the central hall is an

immense table made of a single piece of
polished hardwood, carved with astonishing
skill by the hands of ancient elven artisans.
On the table lies a massive animal hide,
taken from YRoon Thunderfoot, the long
dead king of the mammoths. As fascinating
as they may be, the table and the enormous
piece of leather draped across it are not
what will capture the imagination however.

Uncharted Empires is a supplement for
Kings of War and introduces 9 new armies
to the game. From the depths of the oceans,
to the peaks of The Three Kings, Uncharted
Empires gives players all the background
and army list entries they need to help
write the history of Mantica for these
minor players.
And as you carve your new empires and
explore the areas as yet uncharted by many,
deep in Therennia Adar, on a vast living
map, everything you do will be recorded.

neW speCiAl rules
Some of the units in this supplement

require some additional special rules.
These may be used by different units in
more than one army. Those presented on
this page are general special rules and
may be re-used later in future armies and
supplements. Some armies or units will
have unique special rules that only apply to
them and those will be detailed specifically
where applicable.
This unit may be deployed anywhere on the

table outside your opponents deployment
zone and not within 3 of an objective
counter or loot counter.
Rallying! (n)
Often, soldiers feel more confident of victory or
find extra resolve in the presence of religious
talismans, large hordes of their fellow warriors
or their favoured champions.
Advanced Deployment
Friendly, non-allied units within 6 of this

unit have +n to their Waver and Rout Nerve
values. This is cumulative, with a maximum
total of +2 if multiple units with Rallying!
are in range.
Mystical portals, ancient stone markers or

sacred totems. These artefacts may denote a
territory, serve as a warning to those who would
trespass or may simply spell doom for anyone
unfortunate enough to stumble upon one.
For example, if a unit with an Nerve stat of

13/15 is within 6 of a unit with Rallying!
(1), its Nerve stat is 14/16. If it moves out of
the 6 range, its Nerve stat is 13/15 again.
Units with this rule must be deployed

immediately after players have chosen
sides, but before any other units are
deployed. If both players have one or more
units with this rule then the player who
chose the table side sets theirs up first.
Only the Rout value of Fearless units is

affected by Rallying!

The original name of the peoples and

kingdom of the Brotherhood are lost to all
but the most informed of scholars, discarded
in the wake of the Time of Ice. Theirs was one
of many kingdoms swallowed by the Infant
Seas rapid expansion following the vanquish
of Winter. As the Brotherhood returned from
the north following her defeat by Valandor,
they were met by the bedraggled survivors
of their kingdom fleeing the devastation. All
that remains today is the mouldering ruins
atop the Forsaken Isles.
The Brotherhood
Special Rules
Alignment: Good
Noble Heroes
Some units in this list have the Valiant
Special Rule. This is identical to the
Rallying! (1) special rule, except only
Villeins can benefit from it.
As the forces of the alliance returned

southwards, Valandor realised the full
implications of Winters demise. Desperately
he halted and prepared to try and prevent
the impending flooding as the ice melted.
The Brotherhoods ancestors knew that their
own lands were under threat, and so a great
many of them also stopped the long march
south and stayed to aid Valandor. As the
last desperate remnants of Winters forces
sought to bring him down, the Brotherhood
prepared to sell their lives dearly so that
Valandor could concentrate on the great
magic he would need.
themselves to ensuring that such evil would

never rise again to threaten such catastrophe.
Settling north of Basilea, the Brotherhood
established a forbidding fortress facing the
Abyss, and thus began the Eternal Watch
of a proud and resolute people over the heart
of evil.
The Knights of the Brotherhood swore
great oaths dedicating their lives to one
purpose: hunting down and destroying the
agents of the Wicked Ones wherever they
could find them. Those knights whose
armour had been ensorcelled by Valandor
became the Order of Redemption, taking on
the burden of fighting the fiercest enemies
as penance for the failure of the forces of
good in fully protecting the world from
Winters aftermath.
Valandor bound water magic into many of

the knights armour, and called upon great
beasts and spirits of water to aid them,
showing the sorcerers how to control them.
Leaving the Brotherhood, and those from
the other armies that had also remained,
he set off to try and prevent the global
disaster and was never seen by those
warriors again. Although Valandors magic
and armies were ultimately successful at
annihilating Winters forces, he was unable
to prevent worldwide destruction, and the
Brotherhoods kingdom was one of many
that disappeared beneath the waves that
later formed the Infant Sea. The small part
of the population that was able to escape
made their way northwards and ultimately
united with the surviving army.
Over time, as knights from the Order of

Redemption fell in battle, their suits of
armour were installed into the heart of the
Brotherhoods fortress, the amphitheatrelike hall known as the Council Chamber.
The Captains Council sits on the stage
and the knights up on the surrounding
benches. Every knight has an equal right
to put their opinion before the Captains
Council, regardless of rank or experience.
The central seat on the stage is left empty,
to represent Valandor, under the belief
that the righteous decisions made in the
hall are guided by his noble spirit, a sacred
tradition still observed today.
Desperate for purpose as a faltering civilisation,

the remainder of the Brotherhood dedicated
Uncharted empires
Valandors vain sacrifice to try and save
their homeland was already considered an
act of great nobility by the Brotherhood.
His actions were perceived as an act
of martyrdom and following in his
footsteps became a subject of almost
religious devotion. Between battles and
training, many knights are often found
in meditation and contemplation in the
Council Chamber. On one fateful day, on
completing his period of reflection, one
knight felt an unwavering compulsion to
lay his hand on one of the blessed suits
of ensorcelled armour, an act that had
previously been unthinkable. In a flash of
searing blue light, a portion of the water
magic was bestowed upon the knight,
and he became the first new recruit into
the Order of Redemption. Over the years
other knights have felt the same calling to
touch a vacant Armour of the Tides, and
the Order of Redemption has established
itself as the mightiest and noblest of the
Brotherhoods warriors.
darkness. Being one of the first lines of

defence against Abyssal forces moving south,
they cannot afford to relax the Eternal Watch
lest they be swept to extinction by Orcs,
Abyssal Dwarfs, or even the dread Abyssals
themselves. Military training of some degree
is compulsory for even the lowest peasant,
and everyone is required to maintain at least
basic weapons to defend their lands and
farms or supplement the armed forces. Thus
the Brotherhood can put a wide spectrum
of soldiers into the field, noble knights,
standing soldiers to support the knights, and
peasant militia for when forces are stretched
thin alongside the mystical water creatures
it can summon to the field.
Although much of their activity takes place
in the shadow of the Abyss, bands of the
Brotherhood roam far and wide, lending aid
to any who face the forces of darkness. As
time has passed, the Basileans relationship
with the Brotherhood has been one of cold,
or even arrogant, indifference. Whilst
misunderstandings have on occasion
been settled on the field of battle, the
proximity of the Abyss has so far proved
a strong enough incentive to avoid open
warfare between the two kingdoms.
Brotherhood society exists on a permanent

war footing, with every member of society
fulfilling a function to support their
unending quest to thwart the forces of

sometimes through force of will. As well as

The Infant Sea drowned the world and

entire civilisations. The basin now claimed
by an ocean was once a fertile place, full of
vast rain-forests and rich cropland. A few
islands are all that remain of once-mighty
mountains and volcanic ranges, their peaks
providing isolated pockets of land. On some,
weather-worn statues and crumbled temples
are all that remain of the people that once
lived there. On a handful of others, an
ancient nation struggles to survive and find
its place in a world shaped anew.
Before the Time of Ice, during the semblance
of normality that followed the God War,
the reptilian Clan Lords forged themselves
a sprawling and prosperous empire, deep
in the lush jungles and bountiful plains of
the central equatorial belt. The reptilians
spread to the seas where, against all odds,
they excelled as a seafaring force and grew
a feared and powerful navy.
Several independent cities inevitably
arose, each ruled by one of the Clans and
bankrolled by the richest merchants. While
the different sub-species lived together
in relative harmony in the cities, they
concentrated in numbers in their favoured
climes. The Salamanders favoured the
deserts, hot springs and volcanic islands;
the Arkosaurs and Tyranopods bathed
in the oceans and warmth of the jungles;
herds of giant sauropods roamed the plains
and packs and small tribes of Ghekos and
snakemen built a thriving ecosystem.
One Clan Lord eventually rose above them
all and was to become their greatest and
most influential ruler, her name revered
across all of time. Today she is celebrated
as the saviour of her race.
Kthorlaq the Deliverer was the oldest
hatchling, born to the Clan of Fire, in a
clutch of precious royal eggs. The casing
of the egg which bore her was larger, paler
and smoother than the others and would
have stood out just for these differences;

but it was the dark red swirling pattern

that writhed down one side of the shell that
had the clutch-mothers both excited and
terrified in equal measure. It was a sign they
said. An omen. This one would be different.
Kthorlaq was big, much bigger than her
clutch-mates and she was preternaturally
intelligent and strong. She showed a
maturity and wisdom beyond her years
and the scholars and wise-ones found their
student soon outstripped them, her capacity
and thirst for knowledge insatiable. She
excelled in political debate, showed great
commercial acumen and was a master of
the art of fire magic. She was also seertouched and often spoke of a time when the
Clans would be reborn in the shadows of
the three kings of fire.
Her rise to power as the leader of the
dominant Clan was as auspicious as it was
timely. Within months of Kthorlaq taking
up her new post the world was thrown into
chaos. The skies darkened and flickered
with streaks of coruscating lighting. The
seas heaved and roiled and the air began to
chill. As crops, livestock and prey dwindled
and withered, the weak and vulnerable
began to die. The seas shrank and a terrible
cold swept across the land, poisoning the
earth and leaching the life from world.
From the north and the east the great
glaciers came, driving all before their
14
Uncharted empires
implacable advance. Riding at the vanguard
of the walls of ice were hordes of foul and
unspeakable things intent on destroying all
in their path. Winter was waging her war
on the world.
The mage-priests and battle captains fell
back under the onslaught. Few escaped the
carnage and those that did continued their
flight into the west. With her people beset
by hunger, cold and the advancing armies
of Winter, Kthorlaq ordered the mass
evacuation from the cities and surrounding
lands. Many stayed behind in defiance of
the encroaching doom, selling their lives
dearly to give their people time to flee. A
titanic battle was fought outside the gates
of the great temple city of Haelthorn as the
fourteen reptilian cohorts that had stayed
behind fought back Winters ravenous
legions. The cohorts inevitably succumbed
but their noble sacrifice had bought
Kthorlaq the time she needed to make good
the escape.
Tens of thousands died in the great journey
as the hordes of Winter pursued them into
the west. Yet more perished as they crossed
the frozen seas and the great mountain

ranges of Abkhazla. Eventually, exhausted
and nearing the end of their endurance,
three great smoking peaks rose into the
skies before them. Kthorlaq declared that
this was to be their haven. This was the
place she had seen in her visions all her
life. Here were the kings of fire and they
would offer their protection.
The threads of truth are hopelessly tangled
in the fanciful tapestry of myth and legend,
but the reptilians claim that Kthorlaq gave
herself to The Three Kings; her mind, body
and soul. They speak of how, summoning
her most powerful magic, she created a vast
shield between the fiery summits of the
kings, a crackling vortex made of her very
essence. The Reptilians grieved for their
loss while all the time cowering behind the
barrier that held firm against the onslaught
of ice and beast. Decades past and as the
echoes of Kthorlaqs voice faded from the
ears of the mage-priests so the barrier began
to fail. Just as they feared the shield would
finally collapse, with disaster pressing on
all sides, Valandor the Great smote Winter
down. Her death cries echoed around the
15
Uncharted empires
world and her power was scattered across the
face of the earth in a ripple of baleful energy.
Her minions perished as the wave surged
through them and slammed into Kthorlaqs
shield, finally shattering it. The magical
backwash as the energies collided arced into
the Reptilians in the upper reaches of The
Three Kings. The Salamanders, naturally
drawn to the thermal vents, bore the brunt
of the feedback.
As the great glaciers shrunk back and
massive slabs of ice calved away into the
rising waters at the foot of the kings,
the Salamanders were stricken with
wracking spasms as their chemistry was
changed, and they writhed in agony as
their bodies metamorphosed. Those that
were unaffected cowered in fear as their
friends and cousins were altered before
them. The afflicted had been cursed and
legend says that Winter and Kthorlaq
continue their eternal war, trapped
forever in the bodies of the Salamanders.
They and their descendants must walk
the earth in mortal need of the heat and
fire which keeps Winters deathly chill
from their hearts.
The reptilians today are an ancient
civilisation reborn. From their strongholds
on the volcanic islands in the Infant Sea,
their society has slowly integrated itself
into the new world around them. Gleaming
new temple-cities have been raised by both
the Arkosaurs and Salamanders, the two
most prominent surviving races, and they
are once more masters of the waves with a
small but superior navy that is the scourge
of pirates and rogue privateers. They
are warriors at heart and rarely fight for
personal gain but to rid the world of evil.
Warbands often choose to travel and offer
their services abroad and its not uncommon
to see them battling alongside the forces
of nature with whom they find an affinity
for balance and harmony; protecting the
world as Kthorlaq once protected them.
Other, rarer individuals seek to find their
way in the world as adventurers, aiming to
settle their own personal scores with the
wickedness found in the darkest places of
the world.
The Reptilians today

Arkosaurs
The Arkosaurs have filled the roles of

merchants, builders and administrators in the
new homelands. They also provide the bulk of
the man-power for the small but highly skilled
navy that patrols the shipping lanes and
waters around The Three Kings. Outside of the
merchant classes, Arkosaurs are rarely seen in
the outside world and try to minimise the time
they spend in foreign ports before returning
to the sea. Those that have seen them report
lithe green or blue skinned individuals, with
sly features and cunning yellow eyes.
Salamanders
To the casual observer, salamanders appear to

being strongly reptilian. While they have an
amphibian genetic heritage, thousands of years
spent living and working alongside the other
reptilian species has shaped the evolution of
their appearance into the hard-scaled, tough
and muscular physical presence common
among other reptilian races. Once warmbloodied, the curse of Winter was to instil a
chill in their hearts so that they are now almost
entirely reptiles themselves, being cold-blooded
like their peers. The curse is deep though, and
while the fires of Kthorlaq smoulder inside
them, fighting the death-chill, salamanders
must take time to recharge their internal
fires. The youngest can survive for many
months or in rare cases years without rest and
the sustenance required, and these form
the core of the salamander army or
venture far afield, fighting alongside the forces
of nature.
As they grow older, their skin toughens and
starts to grey, armoured scales deepening
their red hues. The time they can spend away
from sources of fire and heat diminishes with
aging. While they can absorb heat from any
source, the richest and purest fuel is that that
comes from the summits of The Three Kings.
Salamanders need to return regularly to their
island homes to bask in the heat and fire of the
volcanic craters and forge their weapons and
armour anew from the lava that flows from
their depths. With old age, the pilgrimages
end and the salamanders remain in the fire
pits of the kings where they slowly die, their
16
Uncharted empires
flames extinguished and their bodies melting
into the magma in a process which has deep
spiritual significance for them.
On land, the salamanders form the main fighting
arm of the reborn reptilian civilisation. They
see it as their sworn duty to be the protectors
of their people and the oppressed of the world,
following the example and sacrifice made by
the greatest of their kind, Kthorlaq. While
they utilize other races in their armies to fulfil
various battlefield roles, it is the salamanders
that are the core of any reptilian army.
Some young, adventurous salamanders join
the Arkosaur navy to add muscle to the
fighting crews on-board but most ships will
have no more than a dozen such individuals;
captains are wary of these boisterous youths
and fire has never been a sailors friend but their fighting prowess and usefulness is
grudgingly acknowledged. They are rogues
and it is not unheard of for some to slip away
looking for further personal adventure if life
on the oceans becomes too monotonous for
their fiery characters.
Ordeal of Fire
Some individuals that have proved
themselves in battle against the forces of
evil will put themselves forwards for the
judgement known as the Ordeal of Fire. Not

all survive this secretive ritual, conducted
by the mage-priests deep in the magma
filled chambers of The Three Kings.
Those that re-emerge do so with eyes and
skin glowing from an intense inner fire.
They have shortened their lifespan in order
to be able to serve away from the homelands
for extended periods of time, taking the fight
to the darkness in the world. These supercharged veterans are often seen leading the
younger salamander warriors on foreign
battlefields, taking command of them when
fighting alongside their allies.
Ghekkotah
The Ghekkotah are a diminutive subspecies of the salamander line and similar in
appearance to the now extinct Gheko race.
They remained unscathed as the magical
backwash transformed the salamanders
and so retain their warm-blooded bodies.
They are very social creatures and often
operate in large family groups when hunting
or farming. They are fiercely loyal and are
more than prepared to offer their skills to
the salamander army in times of war. They
are rarely seen in the great cities of the
homelands, preferring the jungles and plains
at the bases of The Three Kings.

When the Mother world was young there

lived one called Kyron who would be our
Father. He was tall and strong and brave
and had many friends amongst the beasts
of the forests, mountains and plains. They
ran together, played together, and hunted
together. They were content. They were free.
One day Kyron and his family were struck
down by an unseen blow. Kyron fell to the
ground in great pain and when he arose
he became two people, one was brave and
kind and the other cunning and cruel. They
argued and bickered about what path to
take, each having different ideas on what
should happen to their animal friends as
the Mother world cried in pain.
Dark Kyron lurked in the shadows and

helped Garkan the Black forge the beasts
we call orcs. He reached out and tore many
of our ancestors apart, offering their lives
to the smith for his forges and anvils.
Garkan and Kyron also pulled apart the

The Herd Special Rules

Alignment: Neutral
Call of the Wild
All units in this list have the Pathfinder
special rule, unless specified otherwise.
Hunting Animals
Some individuals are accompanied by their
hunting animals which can be set on to a target
for quick hamstringing attacks. Away from the
battlefield, they are often used to bring down

Jackersnipes, a large winged bi-pedal bird that
is a staple of many beastmens diets.
Mark a Hero that is accompanied by a
Hunting Animal with an animal model.
The Hero has a ranged attack with a
range of 12 that can be used only once
per game (remove the animal once it has
been unleashed). This weapon can only
be used against Heroes or Monsters,
War Engines and Troops. The animal is
neither brave nor stupid enough to attack
any body of troops larger than that.
When you send the animal to seek its
prey, roll 5 dice to hit, regardless of the
firers Attacks. The animal always hits on
4+, regardless of modifiers, and has the
Piercing (1) rule. Then, for any point of
damage caused, roll to hit and to damage
again, as the animal has its way with the
victims. Repeat this process again and
again until you fail to score any damage,
at which point the animal has been slain
or has wandered off to lick the gore off
its paws.

from all around him, from the earth and

the sky, and he gave this light to us. Brave
Kyron could not remake The Lost as they
once were but he rebuilt their shattered
lives and bodies and purified the evil in
their hearts. We opened our eyes and we
knew one another as brothers and sisters.
In return, our father, Brave Kyron gave us
to the Mother world, to protect her from
the evil forged by Garkan.
But Dark Kyron saw his brave halfs magic
and cursed his brothers new children. He
led some of us away from the brightness.
Our siblings ran too far and they did not
see the light, instead they fled and joined
the black, evil things that now infested the
Mother world. Laughing, Dark Kyron also
whispered mistrust into the hearts of the
weak-minded humans. Men have resented
our presence and distrusted our kind ever
since but we do not seek their acceptance.
Let them live in their filthy towns and
cities, away from the bosom of our Mother.
They are blind to our purpose.

Dark Kyron tried to run away but Brave
Kyron chased him, flying high across the
sky. You can still see them both today,
still chasing each other in The Great Hunt.
At night, Dark Kyron skulks in the sky,
sometimes showing his face, at other times
cowering and hiding. Our lost kin worship
him in the darkness. In the day, Brave
Kyron rises and chases away the shadows
and once again shows us the light.
We live to protect and serve the Mother.
We are The Lost now Returned. We are the
Centaurs, Fauns, Satyrs, Lycans, Minotaurs
and more. Some are more beast than man,
some more man than beast. We live in the
forests, in the hills, the mountains and the
rivers. We listen to the world and the world
speaks through us. We are the heartbeat
and voice of the Mother.
We are The Herd.

Lycans are those of The Lost that Kyron

rescued after Garkans experiments in merging
man and wolf. The Werewolves were lost to
darkness, becoming perverse and twisted things
shut off from the Mother. Lycans are at one
with nature and share a deep connection with
the world. Their very life force is sustained by
the Mother and nothing other than death itself
can bring them down for long.
In times of peace, those known as the Guardians

are typically solitary, territorial and reclusive
individuals. Each innately knows the land for
which they are tasked with protecting. When the
threat is great, or when The Herd must gather
to march to war, all manner of these powerful
beastmen will band together, from Minotaurs to
Owlbears and even more unusual forms. They
form blocks of massive shock troops within
The Herds front lines. As well as their natural
savagery, they are often equipped with brutal
weaponry and huge wooden shields. Others
may have armoured hides, razor-sharp claws
and powerful beaks which they use to rend
their enemies. Not given easily to fear or defeat,
where others would bow their heads the mighty
guardian will bellow their defiance and smash
their way back into the fray.

Though not especially bright, Centaurs are

of rhordiA
Basilea is the self-appointed successor to
the old republic of Primovantor but that
doesnt mean that other realms do not claim
the same. Whereas Basilea is geographically
closer and has close contact with the Shining
Ones, Rhordia claims that it is politically
and culturally closer to the old republic,
less corrupt by the new-fangled dedication
to the Shining Ones and standing on its own
two feet. The Rhordians acknowledge the
presence of the Gods as were, while not being
enslaved to either their darker or lighter
aspects. Where Basilea relies on the fickle,
often whimsical support of the Shining
Ones and their celestial armies, Rhordia
places its faith in science, reason, and
gunpowder. It lacks the haughty arrogance
of the Basileans, thereby enabling it to form
alliances and closer friendships with other
races like halflings and dwarfs. Free will
and cultural progress are encouraged in the
League, concepts that are anathema to the
Basilean way of thinking.
At the height of the God War, the former
Celestian known as Eoswain waged a
terrible and far reaching war with her own
dark reflection. Her wicked side, now reborn
as Zbortan, raged across the firmament
and attempted to rain devastation upon
the lands of the noble races while Eoswain
battled to thwart her at every turn. The
collateral damage from the titanic feuding
between these two deities wrought terrible
destruction upon the world below. The
culmination of the struggle resulted in
a cataclysmic impact in the area now
known as the Ardovikian Plain as the pair
plummeted from the heavens, locked in
a deadly embrace, and slammed into the
ground below. The shockwave scorched the
land for scores of leagues in every direction
as the gods conflict was buried in the heart
of the world. Some say they are still there,
locked away in an eternal struggle deep in

the worlds fiery core: the minor tremors

and quakes that are often felt in the plains
are the echoes of the conflict raging still
beneath the feet of mortals.
The story of Eoswain and Zbortan, and its
derivatives, survive today in Mantica mostly
as myths and in childrens rhymes. In a
small area of the Ardovikian Plain however,
the story is still recalled and used as a
moral against excessive belief and action.
An extreme of anything the Rhordians
believe, can be corrupting and damaging,
even if the intentions seem good. Today, the
Children of the Fall preach this mantra as
a key part of their dogma. They yearn for a
return to the golden age of stability, before
the shattering of the mirror, and thus their
churches worship the former Celestians,
those that oversaw a world in balance.
Following the impact, the survivors
slowly pieced their shattered lives back
together. As is the human way, centuries
of toil and warfare rolled across the land
as minor realms and kingdoms came and
went. As elsewhere, settlements grew into
towns, towns into cities, and religion and
politics vied equally for reasons to quarrel
with bordering states. Tensions reached
30
Uncharted empires
breaking point resulting in an episode now
known as the Reaping Time. Relations
between five major city-states dissolved
into open warfare. Alliances were forged
and broken and a series of vicious and
bloody battles stained the land with the
lifeblood of brothers and friends alike. At
the height of the conflict, the orcs came.
Sweeping through the farmlands around
the north-eastern cities, the orcs razed and
destroyed everything in their path. Already
broken from years of warfare and grief, the
land and the people crumbled before the new,
terrible menace. Two cities fell and the rest
looked on in fear, knowing their fractured
armies could not withstand the onslaught.
At least not on their own, but together they
stood a chance. From the City of Eowolf, one
man spoke up. The chaplain Alobart Rhor,
head of the church of the Children saw his
people forgetting the lessons of the past.
He browbeat the Dukes from the remaining
cities together and forged an alliance against
the new, common foe. For the next few years
and by sheer force of will, Rhor lead the new
alliance into a counter attack which blunted
and then pushed back the orc assault,
ultimately defeating it at the Battle of
Halmans Farm. Rhor himself was grievously
and fatally wounded in the battle but lived
to hear that the Dukes had agreed to forge
a permanent alliance and work together to
rebuild their lands and cities. The pact was
signed a week after the battle and a council
formed to govern the joint affairs of the new
alliance. In memory of the man who had led
them to victory and laid the foundations for
its creation, the governing body became the
Council or Rhor and the alliance itself known
as the League of Rhordia.
Since its creation, the League of Rhordia
has rebuilt and grown prosperous but is
still fairly self-contained. It has become a
significant, if still small player in the realms
of men. The individual city-states are still
governed by their own nobility but the Dukes
from each have a seat on the Council and
rotate the chair every 8 years. In all states,
the church of the Children is prominent
and the chaplain of the Church has a seat
on the council, ensuring the Church plays

its part in keeping the alliance together.
Unlike the Basilean religion however which
indoctrinates an introverted and hidebound
mentality, the church of the Children
encourages open debate and encourages
advancements in science and technology.
The Halfling Shires joined the League several
decades after its inception. Originally the
halflings were simply neighbouring trade
partners providing mainly food and tools.
However, several extremely harsh winters
and then a devastating plague that swept
up from the south into Rhordia saw the
shires sheltering refugees and providing
much needed aid. In return, the Dukes
mooted the idea, and eventually agreed, to
offer the shires a seat on the council and
a place in the League. The halfling council
seat is filled by election with the candidates
coming from the various shire captains who
form the shires administrative assembly.
The shires are now considered the main

breadbasket of Rhordia and the loyalty,
cunning and ingenuity of the halflings
is highly valued by all League members.
Many of the states now have growing
halfling populations and their appearance
is very common everywhere across the
lands of the alliance.
The Leagues army is made up of professional
human soldiers from the towns and cities
with all states providing troops to a common
standing army. Sometimes mercenaries
are used the common sell swords who
will take coin from all the warring human
realms. The College of Warcraft in Eowolf
has seen a few, now legendary, halfling
engineers pass through its doors. Halfling
regiments and battalions form a strong and
important contingent within the armies of
the League of Rhordia when they march to
war to defend their lands.

in their design in recent times has made them

Halflings in general seem more comfortable

While the humans supply the heavy chargers,

so the halflings fill the role of light cavalry.
Traditional horses are too big to be practical
and so more appropriate mounts, such as ponies
or even large goats, are often utilised although
they are rarely mixed in the same units.
The majestic Aralez live out on the plains in small

family groups. Often mistaken by the ignorant for
chimera, these large dog-like beasts are well known
for their unique ability to heal minor wounds by
touch. Many adventurers, lost and exhausted in
the wilderness, tell of an Aralez coming to them
in their dreams and afterwards waking fully
refreshed, their scrapes and bruises healed.
An Aralez can be fiercely loyal and the champions
of the League are honoured by the Dukes by
being sent to claim one as their companion in
a ritual known as Binding. Man and beast hunt
and live together for seven days and after this
time, if a bond is formed, the Aralez will serve at
the champions side as their faithful steed until the
death of one of the partners. An Aralez whose
champion has died returns mournfully to the
plains and lives out the remainder of its life in
solitude, never seeking companionship from any
other species ever again.

A wind starts in the west, blowing in the
mountains and sighing gently onto the
plains below, following the paths carved
by once-mighty rivers. The wind squalls
across the ocean, churning the surface
into a boiling and deadly surf that crashes
into the coasts of island chains. As the
storm unleashes its fury, lands are flooded,
ships and lives are lost. It streams over
the land, a lofty spectator as it soars over
clashing armies and blood-stained fields.
It howls through the deserted remains of
a city ruined by earthquakes and villages
devastated by flooding. The wind, which
has travelled so far and seen so much
goes almost unnoticed by those below the
surface of the waters of the world. The
rivers, the seas, the oceans and the lakes
these are the domains of the Neriticans,
the fishmen.

The great Kyron was friend to all beasts of

the land, air and sea. When his dark side
helped reform the beasts of the earth and sky,
the Dark Smith had also turned his cruelty
on those of the sea. Hideous magic and dark
powers roiled the waters of the world and
man and beast were fused in terrible pain.
When The Lost were rescued by Brave Kyron,
those of the sea fled to the dark depths of the
oceans, sent away by their father to escape
his brothers evil curse. The beings that were
now neither of land nor sea but a strange
amalgam of both, hid themselves away in
terror, not understanding what had become
of them, lacking guidance.
Over the centuries that followed, the
fishmen slowly, cautiously, emerged from
their submarine retreat and began to explore
their new world and identity. Of the races on
the land, the fishmen identified most with
their fellow sufferers, the beastmen. Like
them, the fishmen began to fracture into
tribes and clans, sometimes divided by type,
sometimes by necessity. They too watched
The Great Hunt in the skies as Kyron stalked
his wicked self across the stars by night
and day. But the fishmen felt the effects of
the chase more keenly as the ocean tides
responded to the wandering gods.
As with many races, the fishmens influence
on the world since has waxed and waned.

Uncharted empires
They are fiercely territorial and have clashed
and sided with many land dwelling peoples,
especially when their watery domain is
encroached upon by the vile, filthy cities
that are built on coasts and rivers. Their
relative isolation and remoteness has given
them a certain aloofness to the general
woes and conflicts of the other races, but
when their anger is roused, few can stand
in the way of the hordes that pour forth
from the ocean waters. They still feel the
call in their hearts to protect the Mother
world from the darkness from which they
were rescued and this more than anything
is what drives them to arms and to venture
onto the land. The most common of the
Neriticans to be seen above the surface
are the Naiads. These lithe and graceful
warriors are often seen fighting alongside
the armies of the Mother herself and, far
more rarely, with some human realms lucky
enough to acquire their services.
Deep under the seas and oceans, there
currently exist three major kingdoms, each
ruled by a Neritican overlord or High King.

The kingdoms were born from the forced
breakup of a former larger empire when the
war against Winter ended and the Infant Sea
was created. This catastrophic event had
far reaching consequences above and below
the surface. The three new kingdoms may
bicker and squabble amongst themselves
but they have a unity of sorts and together
form the Trident Realm.
The Neriticans major allies are, predictably,
those of the forces of nature and the
beastmen with whom they share a common
history and empathy. The armies of the
fishmen will march to war whenever they
feel threatened or the natural balance of
the world is endangered. Orcs in particular
have learnt to be wary of water.
When the winds of war blow strong and
sweep across the land, they stir the waters
of the world and nervous eyes keep watch
of the rising tide. Who knows what will
emerge from the depths?

The Siren was once a Naiad Stalker who

rescued a half-elf sailor from a shipwreck off
the treacherous eastern coastline of the Forsaken
Isles. Against all odds, the two fell deeply in
love. When her unlikely lover was murdered by a
Twilight Kin slavers crew, the Sirens vengeance
was terrible. Since that day she has lived with
an unfathomable grief and her haunting song
as she pines for a love returned ripples across
the ocean, luring unfortunates to their eventual
doom when they do not live up to her warped
and broken dreams.
Standing resplendent in gleaming scale mail,

the Defenders are stoic champions that have
a peerless skill and determination to hold back
whole bodies of troops single-handedly.

Uncharted empires
the empire of dust
History does not record the origins of

necromancy but its influence is indelibly
etched in the chronicle of the world. There
is compelling evidence however that its
spread is entwined with the story of the
ancient Ahmunites.
The Empire of Dust

Special Rules
Alignment: Evil
Curse of Undeath
South of the Infant Sea, there is an expanse of

arid desert that is truly vast, stretching along
most of the lower seaboard. The mysterious
and beguiling kingdom of Ophidia, sustained
by its rich river valley, occupies much of
the west - precious oases, desert cities and
other, stranger kingdoms scattered across
its interior. But beyond Ophidia, mysterious
ruins, dead trees, and the bones of long
extinct creatures are all that challenge the
whispering sand for space. Straddling the
Wastes of Ophidia and the wretched land
further south lie the broken towns and cities
of the once great empire of the Ahmunites.
In the Time of Light, beyond the scorched
and barren region now known as the
Cracked Lands, a people migrated north.
Driven from their own lands by years
of drought and plague, they sought and
found a new land, with rich soils and fresh,
bountiful rivers. As they settled and slowly
began to re-establish themselves, they
begun to explore and trade with the other
noble races. Relations and trade pacts were
built between the elves to the west and
kingdoms of men and dwarfs to the far
east and north. The Ahmunites flourished,
becoming an influential and important cog
in the economic and political stability of
the southern regions.
It began as most things do. An idea
corrupted and warped. The Ahmunites
had long revered the dead, believing in an
existence after the mortal vessel had served
its purpose. They had dabbled a little in
the art of necromancy and a vain fashion
amongst the noble classes developed
raising their most loyal warriors to serve
again in their undeath in a rite known
incongruously as Purification.
All units in this list have the Lifeleech (1)

Casket of the Damned

The souls of the damned are released from
their prison to drive the unit towards its foe.
Mark a unit that has a casket with an
appropriate model. Once per game, when
this unit is targeted by a Surge spell, you
may roll an additional 5 dice which count
towards the total Surge result. This must
be declared before rolling any dice for the
spell. Remove any model used to represent
the casket once it has been used.
The once fertile lands began to dry, and

hot, arid winds howled from the south and as they blew, the whispers of the dead
were heard in the ears of the black-hearted,
sowing the seeds of destruction. The practice
of Purification began to spread insidiously.
More and more people were raised from their
rest, slaves for the living. Protests or consent
from families was ignored. Spurred on by
their necromancer shills, the noble houses
plunged ever deeper into the darkness and
the central cities of the empire began to echo
with the shambling and mournful groans of
the dead. Souls and bodies were unwillingly
forced back into service.
Necropolises were found empty, sarcophagi
split apart and children and adults alike
feared the setting of the sun which heralded
the terror of the night as the nobles and
their private armies of the dead turned on
each other. As the Ahmunite empire began
to consume itself from within, the princes in
the furthest northern sepats agreed to take
their people and escape the madness. A mass
44
Uncharted empires
exodus began as tens of thousands fled to the
east, the remnants of culture transplanted to
a new home. They settled around the mouth
of the great river, now called Hokh-man, and
forged themselves a new life. The princes were
seen as the saviours of their subjects and were
to be revered as the God-Kings of the people.
The great journey had taken its toll and
the young Ophidian realm was desperately
vulnerable and short of man-power. Aghast
at the decision they must take, the God-Kings
finally decreed that once again necromancy
must be used to return their people from the
grave. But this time the motives were different
not selfish, not arrogant. Service to the
new empire would be for altruistic reasons.
Strict laws were established to control the
learning and practice of the once dark art.
As the fledgling empire grew and became the
masters of undeath, the God-Kings cast their
sad eyes south, to the people they had left
behind and watched an ancient empire tear
itself apart. The madness had to be stopped
before it could spread any further, before the
armies of the dead turned their baleful gazes
to the wider world.
Gathering together their most trusted and

masterful Magi, the God-Kings summoned
the most powerful and spiteful of the
demonic Djinn. Together, they unleashed
a monstrous and lethal sand storm that
engulfed the Ahmunite armies, flensing
skin and flesh from bone and driving them
back to the wastes. Plagues of insects, so
vast they blotted out the sun, descended on
the cities of the Ahmunites and devoured
the living so thoroughly that as the swarm
passed by, only bones remained.
The Ahmunite people were driven back into
their broken, crumbling cities and scoured
from the face of the world. The Ophidian
curse condemned an entire civilisation to
an eternal torment of undeath, stripped
bare for all to see as a terrible reminder to
those who seek to abuse power and believe
they can master both life and death. What
was once a prosperous, sprawling empire of
merchants, art, learning and science is now
a shattered, bitter, hateful and smouldering
lesson against hubris and conceit.
An empire of dust.

The elven Conclave of Heaven was a

secretive intellectual project devoted to
the study of higher consciousness and
the nature of divinity. The pinnacle of
the conclaves achievements came when
it attracted the attentions of the young
and seemingly curious Celestian known
as Oskan. While contact was often brief
and sporadic, Oskan seemed to display
a bond with the elves and hinted at great
changes soon to come with wonderful gifts
bestowed upon the mortal world. Oskan
began to teach the elven arch-mages how
to travel the paths between worlds and
walk in the footsteps of the gods, luring
them ever further away from their bodies,
testing their minds for his own amusement.
One day, the entire conclave were invited
deeper into the paths, beyond the mists
of time, with Oskan leading and the elves
displaying an almost childish glee to see
the wonders of the galaxy and other,
unimaginable planes of existence.

Then Elinathora smashed The Fenulian

Mirror. Chaos erupted and sorcerous
turmoil swept across the land and skies as
the bodies of the Celestians were ripped in
two. As Oskans body was split in twain, the
backwash of cosmic energy shattered the
bodies, minds and spirits of the conclave
around him. Acting as a conduit for this
devastating surge of raw power, the mortal
bodies of the elves formed the epicentre of
an explosion that utterly destroyed the city
where the conclave had met. The souls of the
entire population and all living creatures for
miles in every direction were torn from the
mortal plane and scattered across countless
dimensions; the screams of the victims
echoing across both time and space. Feeding
greedily on the minds so cruelly sacrificed,
Oskan, Father of Lies, was born.
When Domivar created the Abyss with the

dimensions and feeds them in return. Its
dark energy in constant flux, the power of
the Abyss will wax and wane over time.
The Abyss and other sites like it across the
world of Mantica are areas where reality has
thinned and it is such places that draw the
things from other dimensions to the mortal
world. Its here, behind these fragile barriers
between realities, that unimaginable things
gather and lurk, desperate to return to the
world from which they were so horrifically
torn. These are what remains of the beings
ripped from the world as Oskan was born.
These are the Night-stalkers.
The Night-stalkers are the dreams,
nightmares, fears and horrors of mortals
become manifest. They lurk in the shadows
and feed on the most powerful of mortal
emotions such as fear, hatred and pride.
As the strength of the Abyss swells and
fades, so too do the armies of the stalkers,
living in the minds of mortals as they sleep.
They take many forms often perceived by

different races in different ways depending
on the superstitions and fears of a culture
or individual. As in the life they were so
cruelly ripped away from though, there are
many different types of stalker, sometimes
even remnants of memories and personality.
Great forces of the stalkers band together
when the Abyss pulsates with power and
ghastly phantasms will sweep through the
shadows of the mortal realm and the fear
that precedes them is the very thing they
need for nourishment.
As the power of the Abyss wanes, the
stalkers are no more dangerous than bad
dreams and tales to frighten children.
When an army marches to feast however,
their feeding frenzy is a terror of death
as they frantically try to occupy mortal,
or even undead bodies, in a futile attempt
to root themselves in something physical
within Mantica once more.

The fires of the Abyss burn fierce

and strong, their baleful light casting
malevolent shadows that flicker and chase
across the sheer rock sides. Between the
walls, and within the warren of chasms,
mines, tunnels and caverns they imprison,
the screams of the slaves echo through the
endless night as the rest of their fleeting
lives are played out in a never-ending
nightmare of misery, brutality and pain.
Many of these wretches are from far off
lands, seized by roaming slave gangs and
raiders, or are unlucky prisoners from
battlefields far from the Abyss. Unlucky
that they survived the fighting only to
find a fate worse than death. Many more
are born into slavery. Some are bred for
it.
Bharzak the Grim, overmaster of the GiftPiers of Zarak, wanted more. More work,
more blood, more pain, more productivity,
more sacrifice. More slaves. A seemingly
endless supply simply wasnt enough.
Issuing a decree to double the number
of pitiless creatures hurled into the pits
to appease the wicked ones and working
slaves to death with no rest, mercilessly
flaying them to the bone with cruel barbed
horsewhips still didnt satisfy his insatiable
insanity. Taking out his frustrations in an
orgy of torture and hideous experimentation
he butchered over a hundred dwarfen
slaves until there was nothing recognisable
left. In a rage he threw the last of the body
parts before him into the darkest corner,
good for nothing but food for the rats.

Bharzak began to experiment. Consumed

by his madness, he locked himself away
while he worked on his project, rarely seen.
Strange chittering screeches and agonised
wails came from behind the locked doors of
Bharzaks laboratory. After a while, Bharzak
was forgotten and a new overmaster took
his place.
Rats.
Then one day, almost thirteen years since

Bharzak had sealed himself away, the doors
opened and Bharzak reappeared triumphant.
As he emerged from his self-imposed exile,
behind him streamed a vast pack of rats.
But not rats as they had been. These were
something new, something terrible a
horrifying hybrid of rats and other races:
dwarf, human, elf, goblin. In their eyes
there was a smouldering malignancy and
their rapid, jerky movements were spinechilling and beyond natural. Bharzak had
bred a new race of slaves, a race he named
Gnorr. Ones that could do more: work
harder, work longer and, with the trait of
the race he most desired, breed more slaves
in vast quantities.
Rats are everywhere. Rats are vicious,

hard creatures that can survive in the
harshest of conditions, living in filth and
eating worse. They thrive in adversity.
The darkest, most miserable places in the
world are the domain of rats. If ever a race
was destined for slavery, ideally suited for
the despair and brutal life it offered, it was
the vermin.
With the biggest brutes he had created,

Bharzak reasserted his authority and
quickly rose back to a position of power,
even greater than before. Over the years
that followed, the ratkin became a
common place sight in the slave dens, and
their endless supply saw them sacrificed,
tortured, maimed, worked and discarded
in inconceivable numbers. The ratkin
58
Uncharted empires
were bred for oppression and were thus
cruelly exploited.
But they thrive in adversity. The darkest,
most miserable places in the world are the
domain of rats.
The revolt and breakout was a maelstrom
of blood, fur, teeth and gore. When they
turned on their masters and creator, they
showed no mercy. Thousands of Abyssal
Dwarfs died as the vast pack boiled though
the halls on its way deeper into the earth.
Unknown to their overlords, the ratkin had
been preparing for this moment for years.
Miles and miles of new tunnels had been
burrowed away from the Abyss, far away
in an escape route that could expedite the
flight of a new race. Somewhere they could
form their own destiny and plot revenge on
the wickedness that spawned them.
A century after the exodus, and reports of a

new menace in the east are reaching the ears
of the civilised lands. The rumours tell of
an army of ratlike beasts, of arcane magics
and bizarre contraptions all marching to
war. Names have attached themselves to the
rumours like moths to a flame: The Scourge,
Underkin, The Swarm, Skitterfangs.
The ratkin have learned from their masters.
They have learnt about cruelty and
suffering first-hand as they watched from
the shadows as slaves. They saw the iron
casters in their forges, blending machine,
and flesh and magic to construct lethal
artefacts of war.
Now they want to show the world what
they have learnt.

the VArAngur
The warlike clans of the Varangur have been

inhabitants of the far north of Mantica for
thousands of years. While most men were
drawn towards the Republic of Primovantor
during the Age of Ice, the Varangur alone
stood resolute in their great halls. Instead
of fearing and retreating from the frigid
cold, they embraced it, masters of the wild
tundra and the slopes of Ice Mountains. The
Varangurs stubbornness was only surpassed
by the dwarfs and it was this more than
anything that compelled them to stay. They
shunned the outside world and became
insular and disconnected. They rejected the
new gods and looked for something more.

And something was watching, waiting.

Something immeasurably old was stirred
into life. Once-omnipotent eyes turned their
gaze on the Varangur, looked into their
souls, and found what they sought to return.
But this was not a remnant of the former
Celestians, those who were worshipped by
the great realms of the elves, dwarfs and
men of the south. This was an ancient and
malevolent thing, a deity long neglected
that had become nothing more than a
forgotten imprint on the world. A memory
of an immortal past; a mere fading shadow.
Once pushed aside by the Celestians and
discarded by the mortal races, it now reached
out, a whisper in the ears of the priests and
sorcerers of the Varangur, probing and
exploring. Over time the shadow god grew
bolder and the bond became stronger. Gods
only survive if someone believes in them
and it had found a new source of faith and
mortal emotion on which to feed. The clans
called their new god Korgaan.
The basest mortal emotions are the
most malleable, the easiest to control
and provoke: hate, anger, jealousy and
ambition. They are also powerful, if
anarchic emotions and in the presence of
conflict and war, both within and without,
the source of Korgaans nourishment
bloomed. The god began to weave the cords

that would bind it to the world ever tighter.

Appearing to the clans in three different
guises; Warrior, Reaper and Deceiver, it
united them with a strengthened desire to
wage war on the world, but divided them
with a distrust of each other as they strove
to seek approval from whichever face of
Korgaan they followed.
This primeval being, both fickle and cruel,
began to craft a new culture in its image,
and the Varangur started to venture out once
more, south through the frozen wastes on
great expeditions by land and sea, raiding the
fringes of every great empire. Word spread,
and coastal settlements feared the inevitable
raids of these warlike and bloodthirsty
savages. The clans began to thrive and their
god swelled with power, wreaking havoc in
the wake of the chaos Winter was sowing.
After decades of ever more aggressive and
violent raiding and pillaging, the High
Consul of Primovantar ordered a great fleet
64
Uncharted empires
to sail north and crush the Varangur once
and for all. Mere days after the fleet set
sail, the Winter War came to its cataclysmic
end. Primovantar was destroyed by the
birth of the Infant Sea which rushed in to
drown the realms of men. The fleet was
never seen again.
As the Infant Sea engulfed the republic
and the Age of Ice drew to an end, the
world was in upheaval. Korgaan was using
all its nascent power to protect its grip
on the mortal realm as the world around
took on its new shape and the clans faith
was wavering. The god saw courage and
confidence replaced by fear and uncertainty.
It had woken into a new world, a world of
new gods and rivalries and it would not
give up its precarious foothold so easily. Its
mortal followers must be absolute in their
belief, purpose and worship.
Korgaan led the clans to war against the
armies of the Wicked Ones, the deceitful
and insidious deities imprisoned in
the hellfires of the Abyss. Crossing the
treacherous Frozen Sea, a vast horde of
clansmen cut a bloody swathe
through the edge of the Ogre
Lands and into the heart of the
craggy, fiery peaks that ring
the infernal scar of the Abyss.
Driven by the omnipotent
will of Korgaan, the fanatical
clansmen pushed all the
forces the Wicked Ones could
muster right back to the edge of
the Abyss itself. All but spent, the
horde of the clans claimed victory over
the power of the new gods and declared
Korgaan to be the only true, complete
god in Mantica. The Varangur retreated
north, the survivors spreading the word of
Korgaan and the time now known to the
clans as The Reckoning.
debated. For now, the outside world sees a

fractured society, with bloodthirsty disputes
and skirmishes preventing any meaningful
or long-term alliance that would threaten
regional stability on a wider scale. The
Shattered Clans, as they have become known
to the outside world, seem mostly contained.
For now.
As the for Varangur themselves, those
in Korgaans favour, the champions and
trusted lieutenants of disorder, have
strange and wonderful gifts bestowed upon
them but those that cause displeasure are
quickly cast aside. The clan warriors battle
skills are constantly honed against each
other and in minor raids and border clashes
with both the realms and kingdoms to the
south, other, scattered northern clans
and, more recently, with the mysterious
Northern Alliance. Wary of the revenge
the Wicked Ones are surely plotting, the
three-faced god bides its time, growing
ever stronger as the clans begin their slow
and insidious spread into the world, and
preparing to revel in a maelstrom of havoc.
As Korgaan manipulates the lives of the

Varangur, the threat they pose grows ever
more real, like a sinister and malignant
cancer lurking in the north. Many fear
that another Reckoning may come and
whether the Wicked Ones will again be

Reavers were once Bloodsworn who donned

the Mask of the Reaper, but were unable to
contain the immense bloodlust bestowed upon
them. Their minds torn asunder, Reavers enter
an extreme state of psychosis, becoming wild,
savage and debased beasts.
Donning blackened warpaint, but forgoing all

unseen and stalking their prey. They move in
complete silence and only after sneaking within
a few feet of their enemies, do they unleash a
barrage of axes and arrows before closing in
for the final kill.

Korgaan, the Sons sought out and captured
an entire colony of gargoyles. Brought back to

break open the tombs of the VarKyr, the first

After a sanguinary ritual, the gargoyles essence
containing their powers of regeneration was
infused into the long dead remains of these
ancient warriors, granting them life once more.

In the harshest of winters, even the hardy clans

are driven into shelter deep in the mountains and
over time, they have formed an unlikely alliance
with the trolls that infest the dark caverns of
the north. Closely related to the trolls which
are often seen accompanying the likes of both
Orcs and Goblins, cave trolls are slower and
stronger than their cousins and this makes them
adept at hunting and eating the larger creatures
which inhabit the gloom. Under the influence of
the clans, the trolls are Korgaans most recent
followers.

Packs of these beasts are commonly spread

throughout the northern regions of Mantica.
Their thick arctic fur is a prized possession
among the Varangur, but many have also
become semi-domesticated. The ultimate prize for
any hunter are wolf pups, which, when trained,
become ferocious guardians and invaluable
hunting aides.
Crushing Strength (2), Gift of Korgaan, Strider
Only some of the clans of the Varangur have

managed to tame Direfangs. These beasts
are an ancient, primeval ancestor of the Gur
Panthers which the forces of Basilea employ
in battle. Where the panthers are sleek and
graceful, the Direfangs are heavy-set but hugely
powerful. They are savage killers, covered in
a thick hide and dense white fur. Their claws
can shear through plate like butter and their
jaws are strong enough to crush the skulls of
giants. Only the bravest, or sometimes craziest,
of individuals will attempt to ride such beasts,
though in truth they do little else than try and
steer the creatures towards the enemy.

Cavern Dwellers are but one of the horrors

found within the expansive northern ice caves.
These colossal creatures are able to slow their
metabolisms and go years without food. They
lurk motionless in the darkness, waiting for their
prey to wander within their ensnaring reach.
They are blind but their remaining senses are
highly tuned. With the willing assistance of the
cruel cave trolls, a clan may risk the dangers of
capturing one of these ghastly beings to keep it
chained up for years. Starving and half mad, it
will then be goaded to battle where its voracious
appetite is then unleashed upon the enemy.

time this unit is routed, your opponent must roll
