 THE LEGION OF
EVERBLIGHT
THE BODY OF THE DRAGON
The armies that fight in the name of Everblight are a terrifying
force without precedent on the face of Caen. The dragons
warriors have been blessed with his perfecting blight and are
accompanied by blood-spawned creations conceived in his
alien and nightmarish mind. Everblights legion serves him
with a devotion any god would envy, seeking only to live
and die in his name.
Like all dragons, Everblight is the progeny of Toruk, the
Dragonfather, created from a shard of Toruks heartstone, the
crystal athanc that is the essence of all dragons. Toruks other
offspring have used their blighted essence to create mindless
slaves or have enthralled weak-minded mortals to heed their
bidding, exploiting their simple beliefs. Only Everblight has
perfected his application of blight into both a science and
an expression of art. With it he can enhance, corrupt, and
reshape other beings in his own image.
Unlike the other dragons, Everblight no longer has a physical
form. When freed of his icy prison, he chose not to regrow
his draconic body and instead decided to exist purely as
an athanc and work through worthy vassals, each invested
with fragments of his essence. It is through these servants
that his voice is heard, and through them he commands
his legion. Despite his discarnate form, in only a handful
of years Everblight has raised an army to challenge the
empire of walking death his progenitor built over millennia.
Everblights forces have been consciously and deliberately
honed, each blighted creation an instrument of his will.
6
The dragon and his army measure victory only by the
advancement of one cause: to survive and become more
powerful through the destruction of his siblings and
the consumption of their heartstones. With each athanc
Everblight claims, his unearthly power grows, and once he is
strong enough even Toruk will fall to him and be consumed.
Since being freed, Everblight has initiated a plan that has
unfolded at a desperate and preternatural pace. Though
the dragon has capitalized on his bodiless existence, this
state has left his legion vulnerable. Without the terrifying
form of a dragon to support them, his forces must rely on
speed and numbers to survive until his greater ambitions
can be achieved. To compensate, his plans proceed quickly,
requiring actions that would be considered bold and rash by
the standards of the other dragons.
The Transfiguration
of Everblight
The dragon Everblight is the unquestioned master of his
legion, whose members view him as a god. He speaks
directly to his chosen generals through their athanc shards
and guides the legion toward his goals. Those who have
received the gifts of his draconic blight are unwavering in
their loyalty. Stripped of the weakness of choice or fear,
the blighted children of the disembodied dragon commit
themselves to him with a devotion that is unbreakable and
permanent. The path leading Everblight to his present form
stretches across millennia, all spent accumulating lore and
mastering his deeper power.

Shadow of Morrdh
Long ago, when he still walked the face of Caen clad in
scaled flesh, Everblight dwelled beneath the dread kingdom
of Morrdh. Rather than facing the wrathful Torukwho
sought to devour and reclaim the athancs of his disobedient
progenyor joining his siblings in alliance against the
Dragonfather, Everblight chose to bide his time in secret. He
bound many of Morrdhs people to his will and unleashed
the first of his dragonspawn, using them to fulfill bargains he
made with the tyrants of the Black Kingdom.
This era was a fertile period of experimentation and the
genesis of the first generation of Everblights spawn, all
born from his blood but each shaped for a specific purpose.
The wars of Morrdh proved an exceptional testing ground
to evaluate his creations, and any that displeased him were
destroyed. In time, Everblight created a host of spawn
wholly unlike those misshapen creatures begotten by the
other dragons. Despite the clear supremacy of his methods,
Everblight remained unsatisfied. Although his spawn were
deadly, there were limits to the number he could create;
further, they required proximity to their creator to carry
out any but the simplest commands. The dragon realized
this mindlessness was the price for absolute loyalty, but he
desired minions of greater self-will and autonomy.
Exploitation of Ios
Before Everblight could move to the next stage of his
experiments, Toruk discovered his hiding place and
descended upon him. Wounded by the claws of his creator,
Everblight escaped by cunningly leading Toruk to the hiding
place of one of his siblings, but he realized he had to proceed
carefully or risk being discovered anew; the presence of the
dragonspawn that were his glory also signaled his proximity.
After centuries spent hiding below a lake and recovering
from his wounds, Everblight crawled through tunnels
taking him to the Skybridge Mountains near Ios and from
there watched the slow decline of its people. In the Iosans
Everblight saw great opportunity. Severed from their gods,
they were consumed by a spiritual void he knew he could
fill with his undying blight. After witnessing the psychic
cataclysm known as the Rivening shatter the minds of their
priests, Everblight took advantage of the chaos to burrow
into forgotten tunnels deep beneath the city of Issyrah.
Everblight used his formidable powers to send a subtle
summons into the nearest Iosan cities, beckoning to those
bereft of hope and yearning for a spiritual connection. Some
few Iosans felt compelled to make pilgrimages to Ayislas
cursed fane and found Everblight waiting for them. With
these unwitting subjects, the dragon began a process of slow
experimentation, corrupting and shaping their bodies and
minds. For centuries Everblight chose individuals from among
the Iosan people for his deliberate study. He gained near-total
8 THE LEGION OF EVERBLIGHT
mastery over their flesh and made great advances in applying
his blight to transform elves into both tools and weapons.
Imprisonment &
Reawakening
Before he could fully capitalize on plans centuries in the
making, the Iosans became aware of the threat in their midst
and moved against him. Roused to terrible anger, Everblight
unleashed his full strength on Issyrah and reduced the
city to ruins. In his rage he misjudged the power of his
adversaries, however, and he was eventually overwhelmed.
His flesh was destroyed, his athanc torn loose and sealed
away to be imprisoned in a remote mountain. This defeat,
prompted in part by giving in to his internal rage rather
than following his reason, forever changed how Everblight
viewed the limits of his power and the necessity of finding
others to fight in his stead.
For years during this imprisonment, Everblight knew only
rage and despair. Slowly he grew aware of the proximity
of the Nyss, distant cousins of the Iosans, who made their
homes not far from his prison. Occupied with hunting and
survival amid the harsh, frozen mountains and offering
worship to their god of winter, Nyssor, these rustic people
lived simpler lives than the Iosans. Their bodies and souls
were similar to those he had studied for so long, and he
saw a chance to salvage his plans. When the weak-minded
ogrun Thagrosh came within range of his silent whispers,
Everblight compelled the ogrun to retrieve his imprisoned
athanc and plunge it into his own chest. With Everblights
voice in his mind and guiding his steps, the ogrun hatched a
plan that would result in the subjugation of the Nyss.
The first step was to recover the weapon Rapture, created
in the days of Morrdh and possessed of the ability to cleave
athancs. By this tool Everblight planned to divide his essence
among his chosen generals, each of whom would be joined
to his own mind. So armed, even as Thagrosh prepared
to descend on the Nyss of the Shard Spires, the sorceress
Vayl Hallyr came to him, having perceived his future
through visions. She offered herself freely to the dragon and
promised to facilitate the enslavement of her own people.
Using Rapture to divide Everblights athanc for the first time,
Thagrosh elevated Vayl to her new blighted form.
As the dragon spread his blight among the Nyss, their
society was torn apart. Vayl Hallyr directed Thagrosh in
disassembling their defenses, and she personally introduced
blighted blood into their water supply and wells, spreading
it among her people. The Nyss shards fell one by one to
Everblights corruption. At Vayls direction Everblight
turned the strongest against those the sorceress knew to
be too troublesome to be worth conversion. The survivors,
including most of the priests of the Fane of Nyssor, fled to
the south. Within weeks the dragon possessed a new legion.
He gifted athanc shards to several of the most fearsome of
the Nyss hunters and defenders, and they joined him as had
Vayl and Thagrosh.
Soon thereafter, the Legion gathered ancillary forces
from regions neighboring the Shard Spires. Through his
connection to Thagrosh, Everblight gained an appreciation
for the power and fortitude of ogrun, and his army quickly
descended upon the outlying mountain villages of this
people. Ogrun do not react predictably to the blight, but
these warriors added much-needed brawn to the swift and
subtle Nyss forces.
A True Victory
Almost immediately after the blight spread through the
Nyss, Everblights armies began to fight against the other
inhabitants of the northern regions, utilizing the flesh of
the slain to produce fresh dragonspawn in vessels forged
by blighted Nyss sorcerers. They remained on the move,
preferring mobility over permanent settlements. These
conflicts honed the Legion for Everblights true imperative:
the inevitable conflicts with other dragons. Everblight built
his forces with an eye toward mobility and adaptability,
allowing them to move quickly and exploit any opportunity
to become stronger.
Everblights plans accelerated when the location of a
weakened dragon named Pyromalfic was revealed to him by
the eldritch Goreshade. Calculating that the potential gains
far outweighed the risks, Everblight committed his armies to
an all-out assault on Pyromalfics lair at the Castle of the Keys
in the Bloodstone Marches. This advance required the Legion
to cross hundreds of miles through hostile territories. The
haste with which they moved drew unwelcome attention,
particularly from the Circle Orboros.
The Legion ultimately defeated Pyromalfic and claimed his
athanc, which Thagrosh consumed even before the dragons
forces left the site of the battle. Great power flowed through
Everblight, tremendously amplifying his personal energy
and strengthening the potency of all his warlocks.
His victory did not go unnoticed. Following the destruction
of Pyromalfic, Everblight felt a summons through his own
athanc: the dragons of the alliance were gathering. Everblight
THE LEGION OF EVERBLIGHT 9
 had revealed himself to be a new threat that jeopardized the
balance of power among their kind. Before they could move
against him, he scattered his forces across western Immoren.
Although the Legion was strongest when gathered in force,
at such times it was also at its most vulnerable. Everblight
could be exterminated only if all of his warlocks fell and their
athanc shards were claimed by other dragons. Otherwise,
though some may fall their loss would only diminish
Everblight, not result in his destruction.
The Great Hunt
Being both immortal and craven despite their great power,
dragons tend to proceed with great caution, and the alliance
of dragons was slow to act against the Legion. Left to bide his
time, Everblight hastened to ready his forces and restore their
strength. A new target had revealed itselfone even more
promising and laden with power than Pyromalfics essence.
This prize was the disembodied and imprisoned athanc of
a dragon greater than most. Discovered by Cryxians who
intended to haul it back to their islands, this athanc belonged
to one of Toruks most powerful progeny, Nidoboros. It had
been hidden away for ages and forgotten, but once Everblight
discovered it, he immediately put his legion in motion. He
knew that seizing this prize and adding its power to his own
would put him beyond the reach of his rivals.
10 THE LEGION OF EVERBLIGHT
Having discovered the Legions true purpose and already
concerned by Everblights growing power, the druids of the
Circle Orboros set themselves against his designs. The two
forces repeatedly clashed in a chase for the athanc that cut
through the heart of the Iron Kingdoms. The Circle sacrificed
the lives of countless minions to hinder the Legions advance,
but their efforts ultimately failed.
As Everblights warlocks closed in on the athanc, a pact
between a renegade leader of the Circle Orboros and the
dragon alliance resulted in their enemies learning the
location of each piece of Everblights divided athanc. Led by
Blighterghast, the members of the dragon alliance descended
upon Everblights warlocks, beginning the Great Hunt.
Everblights servants were forced to flee from the coordinated
might of the dragon alliance, going to extreme lengths to evade
capture or death. In all of Everblights long existence, he had
never come so close to complete destruction as he did during
the period of the Great Hunt. Much of the blighted army
he had amassed was destroyed, and several warlocks were
devoured. It is likely Everblight would have been destroyed
as well had not one of the dragonsCharsauggone against
the wishes of Blighterghast, diverted from his hunt to seize
the disembodied athanc from the mortals in possession of
it. Charsaugs action coincided with the arrival of Toruk the
Dragonfather, who sought to take advantage of the dragon
alliances distraction to gain victory over them at last.
The alliance between the dragons held throughout
the ensuing battle, but their resolve was shaken when
Blighterghast nearly succumbed to the wounds Toruk
inflicted. In the end, ignoring Everblights wishes, Saeryn
and Rhyas chose to surrender Nidoboros athanc to the
grievously injured Blighterghast so that the dragon could
rejoin the battle against Toruk. Empowered by the athanc of
Nidoboros, Blighterghast drove Toruk from the mainland,
thereby ending the Great Hunt.
BLIGHT & THE NYSS
Beyond those refugees who successfully fled the north, the
majority of the surviving Nyss have been affected by the
dragons blight. Though their god, Nyssor, was among them
at the time of Everblights appearance, he was too deep in
slumber to stop the dragons influence. A minority were
unchanged and fled, now representing the only unblighted
Nyss in western Immoren.
Everblights greatest achievement is also his most insidious:
every Nyss afflicted by his blight becomes instinctually loyal to
the dragon. Though not slavishly bound to his will, the blighted
Nyss are predisposed to basking in his glory. This loyalty cannot
be broken, for it is woven into the very being of each affected
Nyss; to unravel it would be to unravel that individuals mind
and body. The Nyss also manifest the effects of the blight in a
variety of waysphysically, mentally, and socially. In almost
all instances they have become more prone to cruelty, their
ethics and morality eroded by their devotion to Everblight.
The dragon has carefully manipulated the qualities he finds
most useful in his vassals. Those affected by his blight have
become more draconic in their forms and more instinctive and
animalistic in their thinking. Patches of scales erupt across flesh
distorted by boney ridges and protrusions, giving each blighted
creature an unquestionably reptilian cast. Others developed in
ways just as startling, transforming into the perfect blighted
weapons their master required. More disturbingly, Everblights
influence has wrought a change in the reproductive cycle of
the Nyss. Their birthrates have increased markedly, as has their
rate of maturation. Everblight clearly intends for his legion to
be able to rapidly replenish its losses.
Hierarchy of the Legion
All power within the Legion flows from Everblight. The
armys purpose is to pursue the dragons agendas and protect
him from obliteration by the other dragons. Those who have
received the gift of his draconic blight are unwavering in
their loyalty, particularly the rare few who bear a sliver of
his immortal essence in the form of the athanc. These vassals
commit themselves to him with a devotion that is resolute
and unshakable.
Everblight would sacrifice any of his blighted servants to
protect himself or to achieve his goals if need be. That said,
his warlocks each bear a portion of his irreplaceable essence
and so their loss would diminish him; he risks them only
strategically and with the expectation of their survival. Only
Everblights own imminent destruction would warrant the
loss of one of his warlocks.
Everblights decision to remain formless and execute his
plans through hosts was not born solely out of fear of Toruk
and the other dragons, although he was keenly aware of
the dangers he would face if he regained his draconic body
too soon. There are other benefits of this arrangement. First
and foremost, the division of his essence has exponentially
increased the number of dragonspawn Everblight can create
and control. Additionally, each piece of the athanc can
instantly communicate with the others regardless of distance,
giving Everblights leaders a tremendous advantage over
their enemies. Each of his blessed servants can instantly be
made aware of his will, and the dragon can assume complete
control of his warlocks when necessary.
Warlocks wield ultimate authority over all who are loyal
to Everblight. Yet within their number there is a loose but
important hierarchy, as each warlock shares a portion of the
responsibilities of leading Everblights forces.
Thagrosh, Prophet & Messiah
As the mortal safeguarding the largest portion of Everblights
being, Thagrosh, the Messiah is at the pinnacle of the Legion
hierarchy. Once a lowly ogrun slave, Thagrosh Hellborne
escaped the cruelty of his Khadoran masters to flee into the
frozen mountains in the north of Khador. When Thagrosh
freed the dragons athanc, he cut open his own chest and
plunged the athanc deep into his heart. At that moment he
ceased to be merely an ogrun. The metamorphosis Thagrosh
underwent upon receiving Everblights athanc transformed
him into the living avatar of the dragon.
Thagrosh is the physical embodiment of Everblights will
and the closest thing the dragon possesses to a physical form.
He is a vessel through which Everblight can interact with his
legion. Through Thagrosh and the blade Rapture, the dragon
divided his athanc to initiate all of his other warlocks. It is
also through Thagrosh that Everblight most frequently acts,
vicariously savoring the thrill of slaughter by inhabiting his
mind during battle.
Thagrosh no longer resembles what he once was, his body
transformed by prolonged intimate contact with concentrated
blight. Over time his countenance has become draconic, and
his mind and will have been subsumed by the glory that is
Everblight. Thagroshs intelligence has also increased by
orders of magnitude. He has shared in the memories of an
immortal being that has dwelled for thousands of years on
Caen. All the languages ever spoken by mortals in western
THE LEGION OF EVERBLIGHT 11
 Immoren are known to him, and he can instantly apprehend
anything Everblight recalls. While access to Everblights
mind is shared by the other warlocks to various degrees, only
Absylonia claims to possess a comparably seamless union
with the dragon.
Thagrosh is the unquestioned leader of the Legion of
Everblight. For blighted subordinates there is no meaningful
distinction between the dragon and his Messiah. His warlocks
know Thagrosh and Everblight to be two beings instead of
one, yet they too obey Thagrosh. They can discern when it
is the ogrun speaking and when it is the dragon, but both
are to be obeyed without question. Only Vayl and Saeryn
argue with Thagrosh, and only when Everblight indulges
them. Everblight seems to value the spark of free will and
intelligence within each warlock and rarely seizes control
directly, though when swift action is required all debate ends.
Some tasks and goals set before the Legion originate from
Thagrosh instead of Everblight, though only with the
dragons tacit approval. The creation of Kallus, for example,
was the ogruns idea, though Everblight facilitated the
process by drawing on his vast knowledge of his own
athanc and his blighted power. Thagrosh has helped choose
every warlock to receive parts of Everblights athanc. The
ogrun is willing to delegate, since he is often preoccupied
with his communion with the dragon and its thoughts; in
many cases it falls to Vayl Hallyr to oversee the details of
Everblights plans.
Blighted Nyss Warlocks
Beneath the dragon and his avatar Thagrosh in the hierarchy
of the Legion are the warlocks in Everblights service. All
except Kallus are female Nyss who were judged worthy of
the ultimate gift of a splinter of Everblights athanc. Each
of these warlocks distinguished herself in a different way,
impressing Thagrosh and the dragon enough to be chosen to
fill a niche in the Legions leadership.
Chief among them is Vayl, the Consul of Everblight, who
turned against her people to join her strength to Everblights.
For her actions she has been rewarded with a position at
the dragons right hand, second only to Thagrosh in esteem
and power. She has shown an aptitude for organization and
leadership, ensuring subordinate warlocks and the Legions
far-flung forces are accounted for and doing the dragons
bidding. Vayl also directly oversees the Legions sorcerers,
tasking them with vital mystical projects.
Vayl and Thagrosh have apportioned responsibilities to the
other warlocks, though few of these roles are entirely fixed.
No warlock has exclusive dominion over any aspect of the
Legion, and each warlock can draw from the ranks of its
varied warriors. Absylonia is the most prodigious creator
12 THE LEGION OF EVERBLIGHT
of dragonspawn and is relied upon to help accelerate the
recovery of the Legions warbeasts after major conflicts.
She is also the warlock most strongly associated with the
grotesques, which often join her in battle. Lylyth leads
the Legions scouts and archers and is called upon when
reconnaissance is required. Rhyas was once responsible for
the Legions swordsmen and legionnaires, though of late this
task has largely fallen to Kryssa, a warlock who emerged
from the aftermath of the Great Hunt.
Each of Everblights chosen generals can command a
whole host of dragonspawn, manipulating the warbeasts
as instruments of their will just as Everblight himself once
did. This ability significantly amplifies the killing force of the
Legions armies, and their ability to share the sensory input
of their beasts grants them considerable awareness on the
battlefield. Everblights chosen instruments were selected
for their supreme competence and skill, and each was given
dominion over that aspect of Everblights legion. Though
he is able to peer through their eyes at any time, Everblight
grants them autonomy, interfering only when necessary.
After the Great Hunt, the twins Rhyas and Saeryn had an
unexpected and traumatic falling out with Everblight.
Recognizing that the only way to preserve her master from
Toruk and the other dragons was to deny him the one
thing he most desiredthe athanc of NidoborosSaeryn
defied Everblight. This required her to invoke her unique
ability to divide both her mind and her sisters from the
dragon, preventing Everblight from controlling them.
Saeryn and Rhyas still serve the Legion in their own way
but travel apart from the rest. It is unknown whether this
breach will eventually be reconciled. Very few blighted Nyss
accompany them, though the pair are supported by their
own dragonspawn. Only time will tell if Everblight and the
twins will reconcile.
Kallus
Kallus is a purely fabricated being sculpted and fully formed
from a modified athanc shard, an intelligence created
rather than born. The creation of Kallus was an experiment
conducted by both Thagrosh and Everblight, the results of
which they are still evaluating. As yet, Everblight has not
repeated this experiment, though there is no question Kallus
is a formidable battlefield leader.
Kallus occupies an unusual place in the warlock hierarchy,
enjoying the special favor of Thagrosh. He was recently sent
to a far-off region called Alchiere to create a new spawning
holdfast. Some of the other warlocks resent Kallus existence,
considering him an outsider. Vayl in particular is suspicious
that he will try to usurp her authority, seeing himself as
Thagroshs chosen heir.

HEARING THE DRAGON'S VOICE
Those individuals graced with a shard from Everblights
athanc can hear his instructions with total clarity. The dragons
voice comes unbidden and wordless to each warlock with a
resonance that touches the very fiber of the soul. His warlocks
instantly understand any truth he reveals to them, seeing the
memories he shares as their own. Through this connection
Everblight can grant his warlocks access to his vast knowledge
and experience, including mastery of myriad languages, such
as the secret tongue of the dragons, Tkra.
Everblight can see through every warlocks eyes and can speak
directly to them either individually or collectively. At times
the dragon is silent or otherwise preoccupied, forcing them
to rely on their own counsel. Everblight may speak to them
unbidden at any time, but his attention must be solicited, and
any warlock who interrupts the master while he is silent risks
provoking his wrath.
The Blighted Nyss
Of all Everblights servants, the Nyss are the most numerous
as well as the most malleable. When Everblight first escaped
his long imprisonment, it was to the Nyss that he turned his
attention, applying his skill at transforming creatures with
blight that he had learned over centuries of experimentation
on their Iosan cousins. Though Everblight favors this race
above all others, he has found only a few exceptional Nyss to
be worthy of hosting a fragment of his athanc. Having cast
off the yoke of servitude to their frozen god, the Nyss came
to accept their destiny at the vanguard of the dragons army.
The primary architect of the corruption of the Nyss was the
ice witch Vayl, first of the Dragons willing disciples.
Although many ancient traditions of the Nyss were
abandoned in the wake of the dragons blighted blessings,
some remained intact and were adapted into the Legion.
Most Nyss continued to identify strongly with the tribes
into which they were born as well as their extended hunting
THE LEGION OF EVERBLIGHT 13
 groups, or shards. Vayl set these cultural ties to a new
purpose by establishing the shards as the basic divisions of
the Legion, each made up of fifty to eighty warriors.
Each shard is led by a prior, a captain of the Legion who
formally carries the title of aransor, a term once used only
by elders of the Fane of Nyssor. Deacons in charge of large
hunting packs within the shards serve as the priors chosen
lieutenants, while ruthless sergeants called vassals supervise
smaller hunting groups. Above all others and speaking with
the authority of the dragon are the warlocks. They command
the dragons unnatural armies, drawing their forces from the
ranks as required.
Blighted Nyss sorcerers aid and advise the warlocks and
stand just below them in authority. Sorcery has always been a
part of Nyss life, but the dragons touch has transformed and,
in some cases, augmented powers once linked to the Fane of
Nyssor. In addition to being able to invoke traditional Nyss
magic of wind and cold, many Legion sorcerers can control
14 THE LEGION OF EVERBLIGHT
the blighted energy that infuses them. These sorcerers retain
mastery of the written Aeric language, which is vital to the
fabrication of mystically empowered weapons and tools.
They are generally more intelligent and possess greater
initiative than most of the dragons warriors.
Even before they became blighted, the Nyss had developed
abilities that would serve them well in facing the challenges
Everblights legion would encounter. They were a hardy,
nomadic people, seasoned hunters and killers accustomed
to moving rapidly across vast distances with great self-
sufficiency and discipline. They endured a constant fight
for survival against the elements, the beasts of the wild, and
incautious trespassers into their lands.
Everblight discovered the Nyss perfectly suited his needs
during these crucial early days of his protean army. His
soldiers lived off the land, foraging and seizing all they
required. They were constantly on the move, halting their
progress only to generate new spawn to replace those lost

AERIC RUNES
Before the coming of Everblight, only priests and sorcerers
were literate in Aeric, the language of the Nyss. This language
shares origins with Shyr, the language of Ios, but over
centuries the Aeric runes developed into a distinct alphabet.
With most of the Nyss population being illiterate, the written
form of the language became increasingly venerated. These
writings were inextricably linked to the Fane of Nyssor and the
lore of the God of Winter.
When the Legion expunged all worship of Nyssor and the
priests of the god fled, the blighted sorcerers seized control
over the written language. By their efforts the Legions Nyss
still view the written sigils with reverence but now associate
them with the worship of Everblight and the ritualized control
of the dragons blight. In an effort to expand the Legions
arsenal, Nyss sorcerers have fused the lore of Aeric runes with
both draconic occult secrets passed to them by Everblights
chosen warlocks and their own power over the blight.
Everblight and his warlocks see tremendous potential for
future discoveries by tapping into the power of these runes.
They continue to encourage the sorcerers to conduct research
into further adaptations of the Nyss sacred language into an
even more complex and useful arcane tool.
in battle. Surprise and mobility proved to be Everblights
greatest weapons.
Most traditional Nyss shards were composed of hunters and
warriors who battled threats in the harsh environment of the
Shard Spires and provided sustenance for their people. Over
generations their skills in tracking and combat were honed
through clashes with the trollkin kriels and tribes of ogrun.
Everblight did not overlook these skills upon taking control
of the Nyss shards, and the Nyss swordsmen and archers
now make up the core of Everblights legion.
The blighted Nyss quickly moved outside their original
territory. Initially, they fell upon remote human and trollkin
villages, where fresh meat and blood were plentiful, and
those sites eventually became the staging grounds where
hundreds of warbeasts would be birthed.
Legion Fighting Forces
The fighting forces of Everblights armies are unique in
that each element of the Legion is truly decentralized. The
link shared by the warlocks through Everblights athanc
allows each fraction of the army to act with near-perfect
coordination and synchronization. This advantage has
allowed elements of the Legion to operate independently
across Immoren without the communication delays that
nearly all other armies endure, giving them unparalleled
tactical flexibility and enabling them to outmaneuver forces
many times their size.
Legion forces are made up of dragonspawn and individuals
either shaped through blighted energies to serve a specific
role or bestowed with gifts that enhance their own natural
martial prowess. In creating his army, Everblight subjugated
both the Nyss and many tribes of northern ogrun; the
marriage of Nyss martial excellence with the brutish strength
of the ogrun grants his armies the tactical flexibility needed
to engage a wide variety of foes. The adaptive nature of the
Legion has made it a dangerous and unpredictable threat.
The makeup of a Legion strike force varies widely depending
upon where it operates, its goals, and the disposition of the
warlock leading its forces. Everblight does not trouble himself
with the petty management of his armies, leaving such concerns
to Vayl Hallyr and other warlocks. The dragon watches
unfolding conflicts and lends support when it is needed, either
by direct intercession or by diverting other assets.
Nyss Shards
Nyss shards make up the bulk of the Legion of Everblights
fighting forces. Each shard can vary greatly in size and
composition and is made up of numerous hunting packs. A
shard may also include smaller hunting groups composed of
cohesive fighting elements.
Swordsmen
When Everblight began spreading his influence among
the Nyss, the swordsmen were some of the first to turn to
his service. Long renowned for their skill at arms, Nyss
swordsmen discovered that the blight enhanced their talents,
and the emptiness that came with the dragons touch mirrored
the meditative discipline required to truly master the blade.
Even before the coming of the dragon, these swordsmen
had a singular bond with their weapons, treating them with
almost religious reverence. A Nyss swordsman would sooner
die than let his claymore fall into enemy hands and will go
to great lengths to recover the weapons of fallen comrades.
Archers
Armed with finely crafted bows hewn from wood, bones, and
horn gathered from the Shard Spires, the archers of the Nyss
are expert marksmen who developed their skills hunting to
provide food for their kin. Traditionally, their keen eyes and
deadly aim were also called upon in times of war. Since the
coming of dragon, they have turned their skills against a new
kind of prey and rain their arrows down upon the enemies
of Everblight.
Raptors
Raptors are a martial tradition as old as the Nyss shards
themselves. Riding into battle atop a hardy breed of northern
ungulates known as ulks, these warriors traditionally spent
their time hunting as well as raiding their neighbors, including
northern Khadoran tribes and isolated Rhulic clans. Under
THE LEGION OF EVERBLIGHT 15
 Everblight, raptors serve as the elite cavalry of the Legion,
and only those blighted Nyss who have mastered both the
claymore and longbow can hope to count themselves among
their number. Though there are many veteran raptors who
lead these hunting groups, the foremost is Annyssa Ryvaal,
who most frequently serves the warlock Lylyth.
Legionnaires
The blighted legionnaires were once part of small group of
highly disciplined Nyss warriors known as the ryssovass. This
order of warriors was responsible for guarding the mountain
passes leading in and out of Nyss territory. Armed with great
swords and heavy armor forged from plates of steel, each
member underwent rigorous training, dedicating their lives
to their uniquely defensive fighting style. The ryssovass
fought as one, their teachings training each warrior to act
as an extension of the next. Their numbers have expanded
greatly since the dragons blighted blessing fell upon them,
and they now serve as the personal guard of Thagrosh the
Prophet rather than the defenders of their homeland. Captain
Farilor serves as their leader, a famed warrior who ensures
their unwavering discipline.
Arcane Support
Sorcerers have great prominence in Everblights legion. As
the dragon has assumed the role once held by Nyssor, so the
sorcerers have replaced priests as mystical leaders. Since the
coming of Everblight, the blighted Nyss have manifested
arcane abilities in growing numbers, with the dragons
energies unlocking arcane potential in those who would not
otherwise have manifested it. Even as it reshapes their bodies
and minds, the blight has augmented the magic of the Nyss.
Sorcerers are an invaluable resource on the battlefield. They
work alongside warlocks and priors to provide organization
and communication among the rank-and-file of the Legion
and to act as versatile shock troops capable of striking the
enemy with gusts of freezing wind or blighted magic. They
have a loose hierarchy based on seniority and power, with the
senior-most looking ultimately to Vayl Hallyr for direction.
Subordinate leaders have arisen among certain groups, such
as Sevryn of the Blackfrost Shard and Bayal, the first among
the hex hunters.
Blighted Ogrun
Once Everblight had bound the majority of the Nyss shards
to his will, he turned his attention to the other races of the
north, and the scattered ogrun tribes soon fell under his
influence. As Vayl Hallyr had betrayed the Nyss to the
dragon, so too did Thagrosh give up the ogrun of Khadors
northern mountains, and they fell beneath the power of
Everblight.
16 THE LEGION OF EVERBLIGHT
The blighted gifts of the dragon have transformed the ogrun,
already known for their size and strength, into creatures
of almost unparalleled destructive potential. The dragons
touch has also warped the honorable outlook of these once-
proud creatures, instilling them with a drive to spread the
shadow of Everblight across all of Immoren. Though their
minds have been radically altered by the blight, the desire to
serve a great leader, or korune, remains within in the blood-
dimmed thoughts of the blighted ogrun. The dragon has
become the ultimate korune, a god of limitless ferocity.
While the blight has reshaped and augmented their bodies,
it has also broken down the psyches of the ogrun, giving
them an unquenchable bloodlust that only the most sturdy-
minded among their number can keep in check, and then
only for so long. Even to the blighted Nyss of the Legion,
blighted ogrun often appear to be abominationsreeking
of slaughter, unmindful of their carnage, and willing to
slay friend or foe alike in their compulsion to sow death. A
few ogrun have overcome the blight-engendered madness
and retain some semblance of control; however, the call to
slaughter overcomes all eventually.
Leadership among the blighted ogrun is rooted in their
feudal traditions. Individual ogrun serve those stronger than
themselves. Those ogrun strong enough to rise to positions
of authority become war chiefs. War chiefs have nearly
absolute authority over their sizable tribes but are united in
their reverence of Thagrosh and consider themselves sworn
to him. Though Thagrosh rarely delivers orders to them
directly, all retain a fierce loyalty to him and, by extension,
to the other warlocks of Everblight, whom they see as his
immediate vassals.
Striders
The touch of Everblight did not affect all Nyss equally, and to
some among their number the blight brought extraordinary
gifts. Those who came to be known as striders were originally
scouts and rangers who patrolled the fringes of Nyss society.
Already the most proficient trackers and hunters among a
race known for its skill in the wilderness, the blight reshaped
them into superlative predators. The bones in their legs
stretched and changed, reverting to a more animalistic form.
Their feet became talons, gripping the earth as they ran.
The transformative power of dragon blight has made
striders distinct from other Nyss. The touch of Everblight
has also stripped most striders of any sorcerous potential.
In spite of this, they are fleet hunters who move with the
swiftness of birds of prey even across the most treacherous
terrain. Their speed and grace make them a force to be
reckoned with, and the blight has dulled their emotions,
sharpening in them only a lust for slaughter in the name of
the dragon. Cruel creatures, striders enjoy the hunt as much
as the kill and have been known to toy with their prey for
long stretches before finally granting the mercy of death.
Each feather worn by a strider represents a kill, and the
number of kills denotes respect and also place in their loose
hierarchy. The most prodigious killers are the most revered
and become known as deathstalkers.
Grotesques
These hybrid creatures grow to battle-ready maturity in
months rather than years, though their undeveloped minds
comprehend only the necessities of fighting and survival.
Grotesques are so far removed from the Nyss from which
they were created that they now constitute a new species,
able to reproduce on their own and existing separately from
their parent race.
These winged horrors congregate in flocks, ready to answer
Everblights call at a moments notice and descend upon
their victims en masse. While such creatures could never rise
to the leadership echelons of the Legion, Everblight knew
they would serve as useful fodder in his wars, where their
abbreviated life spans would not be a liability.
Abominations
Although grotesques and striders are a common sight
among the Legion, they are not the only creations born
from Nyss twisted beyond recognition by Everblights need
to experiment and push past the limitations of the natural
world. From warriors infected with parasites that generate
monstrous incubi to spell martyrs that detonate in a blaze
of ashen fire to the forsaken who more closely resemble
dragonspawn than Nyss, Everblight displays fiendish
imagination in his efforts to create a more perfect army.

 WARLOCKS
OF THE LEGION OF EVERBLIGHT
The warlocks who serve Everblight are specifically chosen
instruments for the dragons blighted power. Drawn
primarily from Nyss demonstrating exemplary talent and
fighting prowess, these warlocks bear Everblights draconic
essence within their flesh and serve as the dragons generals,
commanding the armed host of the Legion.
While they are implements of the dragons will and power,
their very existence also protects him from his many enemies.
To eliminate Everblight would require every last warlock
to be hunted down and each of their athanc shards to be
consumed by a dragon. To ensure such a day never comes,
Everblight has scattered his warlocks across multiple mobile
encampments. They gather infrequently, and only when the
potential gains outweigh the risk. Even if a warlock dies in
some other fashion, the nearly indestructible athanc shard
can be recoveredand as long as a single shard remains, the
dragon will endure.
Although these warlocks are spread across western Immoren,
Everblight himself links them together in a way that other
armies can only dream of. The dragon and his warlocks
can share thoughts, memories, and experiences across
the network forged from slivers of his athanc no matter
how widely separated they are; distance means nothing
to them. This connection has had the added benefit of
allowing Everblight to broaden his mind and his perspective
beyond what even his other immortal siblings can manage.
Everywhere Everblights warlocks travel, he can see through
their eyes and extend his will through them.
22
Athanc Shards
Within the heart of each Legion warlock resides a fragment
of Everblights athanc, the crystalline essence of the
dragon. Dragon athancs are among the most indestructible
substances on Caen; they can be harmed or changed only in
extreme circumstances, such as being consumed by another
dragon. Toruk spawned the first dragons by dividing his
own athanc into myriad large pieces. The Dragonfather
hoped these creatures would obey him, but instead they
rebelled. Everblight has succeeded where Toruk failedhe
created powerful and fanatically loyal minions through the
division of his athanc without spawning lesser dragons in
the process.
When an individual is chosen to become a warlock, Thagrosh
uses the blade Rapture to cut a piece from the largest and
most complete piece of Everblights athanc, which he bears
within his breast. When the new fragment is inserted into the
heart of the chosen warlock, she is transformed into a font of
draconic power. In addition to the deep connection between
the warlocks and their master, these shards link the warlocks
to the myriad dragonspawn created from their blood.
Any diminishment of Everblights original athanc resulting
from the creation of his initial warlocks was more than
countered by the defeat of Pyromalfic, when Thagrosh
swallowed that dragons athanc and joined it to Everblights.
Because of this merging, Thagrosh retains the largest athanc
shard, which facilitated the creation of additional warlocks
to bolster the Legion in the years that followed. The added
power Everblight gained from Pyromalfic was eventually
shared with all fragments of his athanc, not just Thagrosh.
As Everblights strength grows, so does that of his warlocks.
Although Everblights warlocks are great leaders and
warriors with ambitions and motivations of their own, the
dragons voice is always with them, and in times of need
they act as living manifestations of his will. The unique link
between the warlocks and the dragon allows the Legion to
act in perfect and instantaneous coordination, exploiting a
unity its enemies cannot hope to replicate. As these warlocks
were chosen for their own individual instincts and cunning,
Everblight generally leaves them free to act on their own
judgment, giving only broad orders. But when required,
the dragon can seize control of a warlock directly, in a
manner not dissimilar to how a warlock controls warbeasts.
Only Saeryn, and by extension her twin Rhyas, have any
capability to resist Everblights control. Most warlocks revel
in communion with their master, glad to have the dragons
presence focused upon them.
Additionally, the dragons athanc provides Legion warlocks
with a number of subtle advantages. Everblights constant
presence in their minds grants them access to his immense
knowledgea trove of memories and experiences spanning
millennia, beyond the ken of any mortal. By implanting
pieces of his athanc within his chosen, Everblight can access
their varied experiences as if they were his own memories.
Through him, other warlocks gain filtered access to the
information as they need it, enabling them to learn from
circumstances far outside their own limited perspectives:
they may recollect details about enemies they have not faced
themselves, or easily traverse hostile landscapes they have
never seen with their own eyes. Exploiting the advantages
of this deep communion and their seamless coordination of
scattered Legion assets, Everblights warlocks can fight on
equal or better terms against more numerous enemy forces.
Athanc shards provide warlocks with a nearly limitless
source of blighted radiance. The energy suffusing their
tissues enables Everblights warlocks to cling to life despite
extremes in temperature and deprivations such as extended
periods without food or water or conditions that would
otherwise lead to asphyxiation. While these warlocks do feel
pain and generally try to avoid it, those who bear an athanc
shard can endure agonies that would be the death of any
without the dragons gift.
WARLOCKS OF THE LEGION OF EVERBLIGHT 23

KALLUS, THE WRATH &
DEVASTATION OF EVERBLIGHT
While the majority of Everblights warlocks were drawn from
female Nyss, Kallus represents an unusual and extraordinary
deviation. Created in 608AR as a deliberate experiment in
the fabrication of an entirely artificial entity, Kallus is a new
type of warlock for Everblight. His existence was the result of
mystically imprinting an athanc shards intrinsic structure with
a new intelligence, drawn in part from the mind of Thagrosh.
Just as a dragon athanc will seek to reform the body of a
dragon around it, Kallus athanc shard is capable of recreating
his corporeal body. This makes Kallus as unkillable as the
dragonsshould his body be destroyed, the athanc can remake
him, a process expedited by transforming a sufficient quantity
of living or freshly slain flesh. Even when disembodied, Kallus
can sense others around him and can impose his mind on the
weak-willed, forcing them to sacrifice themselves to him so he
can reshape them into his own form.
The advantages Kallus possesses are tremendous, but
Everblight has thus far refrained from repeating the process.
Though Kallus' intelligence belies his short existence
drawing heavily on the mind of Everblighthe lacks the years
of experience and honed instincts of an adult Nyss. It may also
be that Everblights own mind was diminished by surrendering
an athanc shard to give Kallus what passes for free will.
24 WARLOCKS OF THE LEGION OF EVERBLIGHT
On at least one occasion, Everblight has channeled a surge
of powerful blighted energy through the fallen form of one
of his chosen generals to prevent her death, regenerating
her tissues with supernatural alacrity, though this effort was
heavily taxing on both the dragon and the warlock. Such
measures cannot necessarily be relied upon as a failsafe,
but they do represent the tremendous resilience possessed
by those blessed with an athanc shard. Combined with the
ability to divert incoming wounds to dragonspawn, warlocks
are able to endure even extreme injury without being slain.
No mortal creature can contain even a fraction of the
dragons terrible power without undergoing physiological
changes, and all Legion warlocks exhibit draconic attributes
such as horns, protruding spikes, or wings. The degree
to which these physical qualities manifest depends on a
combination of factors, including the warlocks natural
resistance to blighted energy and the size of the athanc
fragment she bears. Despite these variances, the changes
wrought by Everblights power are not random mutations
but part of an ongoing evolutionary sequence intended to
perfect each warlock according to her nature as well as her
place as a leader within the Legion. The longer a warlock
bears an athanc shard, the more severe the transformation as
her physical form draws closer to the dragons ideal.
Blighted Magic
In addition to granting other abilities, the transformation
bestowed by the athanc shard allows each warlock to
manifest and shape the blight pouring through her into
powerful arcane energy. Though a number of warlocks had
some degree of sorcerous ability before Everblight chose
them, possessing an athanc allows even those who could
not previously manipulate magic to do so. Thagrosh, the
first of Everblights avatars, is a living demonstration that
the power of the athanc can grant arcane capability even to a
species ordinarily lacking any native capacity to control such
forces. Those who have the gift prior to receiving their athanc
have their power and skill magnified, taking advantage of
Everblights occult lore and adding new spells to their
arsenal made possible by blighted energies.
The magic employed by the Legion of Everblight is an
evolving discipline rooted in Nyss traditions combined with
techniques originating from Everblight himself. Many Nyss
were versed in elemental sorcery, especially powers related
to cold and ice, drawing on their deep connection to their
native habitat and their relationship with the elven God
of Winter. Though those mystical and religious trappings
have been abandoned, the Legion still benefits from spells
that harness cold. Enemies are frozen in place or pierced by
spears of ice, while the advance of the Legion is veiled amid
gusts of swirling snow.
Magic drawn from the blight is varied and in some cases is an
outward manifestation of the strong personality and will of
each warlock, but there are some shared effects. Unblighted
flesh has a strong aversion to blight, and powerful blight
tends to sicken and weaken other creatures, making for
potent spells of affliction.

Blight is also a transformative energy that links all creatures

serving the dragon. It is easy for Everblights warlocks
to augment and empower dragonspawn, hastening or
strengthening their attacks or manifesting even more
extraordinary beneficial mutations in form. Some warlocks
can similarly enhance the capabilities of the Legions
soldiers, their magic connecting to the blight in the warriors
flesh to bolster their killing prowess or to shield them from
harm. And though the Nyss are naturally attuned to spells
of ice and snow, dragons are creatures of flame and ash.
A number of Legion warlocks use their blighted power to
create intense conflagrations, summoning dragon fire to
annihilate their foes.

Warlocks &
Dragonspawn
While his disembodied state has its advantages, without a
physical form Everblight lacks the draconic blood required
to directly generate dragonspawn. Fortunately, his mastery
over his blighted essence has enabled him to bestow the
secret of beast creation upon his warlocks. The connection
between his athanc shard and the warlocks circulatory
system imbues them with the ability to generate Everblights
blood within their own veins, where it mingles with their
lesser essence.

With adequate time to prepare and a sufficient quantity of

draconic blood, any of Everblights spawn can be created
through his warlocks. When a dragonspawn is created,
a warlock spills a measure of her own blood and uses her
will to impose the specific shape it will take, drawn from
Everblights arsenal of previously engineered forms. This
is quite unlike the more random miscreation found in the
spawn of other dragons.

Creating the largest spawn in this way is an exhausting

undertaking that leaves a warlock temporarily vulnerable.
For this reason, it is attempted in the field only under the
direst circumstances. Freshly spawned beasts are also anemic
and require flesh to feast upon before they are ready to fight.
Whenever possible, warlocks create dragonspawn well in
advance of an attack to ensure that they and their spawn
enter battle at full strength.

The Nyss were once devoted to Nyssor, the god of winter,
but the blight ended that worship for the ones who joined
Everblights legion. Those of Nyssors clergy who survived
the first days of Thagroshs arrival fled, bearing with them
their frozen god. The resulting spiritual void among the
blighted Nyss was filled by the words of Bethayne, who
taught them devotion to a draconic god whose tangible
blight had blessed them with transformation. In battle she
fulfills her role by fusing with her dragonspawn Belphagor
to become a perfect killing force without sacrificing her own
intelligence and arcane skill. This fusion symbolizes the
irreversible bond between the blighted Nyss and Everblight.
Before receiving a fragment of Everblights athanc, Bethayne
was a priestess of Nyssor, having joined the clergy at a
very young age. She demonstrated an unusual sensitivity
to spiritual doctrine as well as a keen artistic talent that
manifested through her carvings in wood and bone. Her
versatile and enthusiastic mind allowed her to excel as
she matured, easily mastering the disciplines required of a
priestess and showing a particular knack for oration. From
childhood she had possessed the gift of persuasion and
could stir listeners emotions with her words. Upon reaching
adulthood, Bethayne was honored to dwell at the central

quickly earned Bethaynes confidence as they conversed at
length on a dizzying array of topics, from the fundamental
nature of magic to the obscure origins of Nyss traditions.
Bethayne had never felt her mind engaged so deeply, and her
friendship with the older woman grew. When Vayl professed
growing doubts about her faith and the stewardship of
Nyssor, she was in fact planting subversive seeds in the
priestess that would grow in time.
Bethayne did not see Vayl again until three years later, in the
midst of the cataclysmic coming of Thagrosh to the Nyss. As
fire and destruction consumed the villages and Nyssor was
carried south to safety, Bethayne stood among those left to
defend the fane grounds. She was prepared to give her life
in defense of her people and her faith but was shocked into
numbness to see her friend amid the despoilers. Vayl spoke
of the draconic god who made his followers strong in his own
imageone not impotent like the ailing god of winter. As
proof she indicated the destruction around them; no miracles
had saved the Nyss. Vayl offered Bethayne a place among the
inheritors of their peoples legacy, serving as a leader of the

Those who would oppose the will of Everblight must stand
ready to pay a heavy cost, and it is Lylyth, the dragons
Reckoning, who will exact that price. Those few who have
survived Lylyths raids speak of the susurration of runners
on frozen ground and an ominous keening noise in the air.
As the first arrows strike, that sound is revealed to be wind
whistling along the cruelly barbed blades and across the
overlapping metal scales protecting the carriage of her war
sleigh as it is swiftly pulled across the snow by powerful ulks,
their horns lowered to smash through anything in their path.
Since her second rebirth in the dragons service, Lylyth
has lived without the slightest fear of death. She ranges far
from the main bases established by the Legion, preferring
to command the fastest hunters and dragonspawn so she
can exploit the speed of her war sleigh. Traditional to
Nyss hunters, such sleighs were once used to terrorize the
mountain villages of the northern Khadorans. Lylyth has
adopted its use within the Legion to represent her place as
the preeminent tracker and killer among a people famed for
such skills. Its steel runners have been inscribed with runes
and bolstered by sorcery to allow swift passage even across
environments normally ill-suited for such a conveyance
these blades glide as easily over grass or sand as over snow
and ice.
With the Legion scattered across western Immoren and
beyond to avoid destruction in its weakened state after the
events of the Great Hunt, Lylyths ability to range far afield
and stay alert to the movements of the dragons enemies have
become more important than ever. As Everblights premier
scout, she has both steered his forces clear of potential threats
and secured resources vital to the survival of the Legion. The
most significant of these finds came in the form of the fallen
body of Charsaug. Though the dragons athanc had been
devoured by another, Lylyths quick discovery of the corpse
allowed for the Legion to collect bone and sinew and put
these valuable resources to use in the crafting of new, more
formidable spawn with which to wage Everblights wars.
Lylyths intense dedication to Everblight lets her put aside
all thoughts of the future beyond the immediate task at
hand, and in this blank space she has found an unwavering
strength. This calm focus has allowed her to hone her skills to
a razors sharpness. Even as the Reckoning brings death with
each arrow launched from her bow, she is herself a weapon
wielded by Everblight against his enemies.

History will remember Thagrosh Hellborne as the abomination
who unleashed the Legion of Everblight onto the world. This
blight nearly annihilated the Nyss and spread down from the
icy north into the heart of the lands of man. Thagrosh strides
at its vanguard like death made flesh.
Even before his transformation, Thagrosh endured a harder
life than most ogrun. Khadoran brigands ransacked the village
where he was born and enslaved its population. He spent
his formative years under the lash, toiling at backbreaking
labor. His burning rage eventually compelled him to choke
a careless keeper with his chains, and he escaped to flee into
the northern wilderness.
In an unimaginable test of resolve, Thagrosh mutilated
himself to accept the dragons blessing. He cut open his chest
with a skinning knife and tore apart his own ribcage in order
to drive the athanc into his heart. Its dark power sustained
his life and transformed his body into a blighted vessel for an
immortal presence.
His mind expanded far beyond his old reckoning, it has
become difficult for Thagrosh to divorce his perspective from
that of his dragon-god. The athanc has awakened in him a
powerful sorcery born of Everblighthis patron, his advisor,
and the object of his ultimate worship. Thagrosh the Prophet
speaks with the dragons voice and embodies his will.

Fevered whispers and nightmarish visions led him to the
tallest mountain in the north. Exhausted and barely conscious
of what he was doing, Thagrosh climbed that imposing peak,
pulling himself up the ice face with bleeding fingers and
shattered nails. There he discovered the sealed repository of
the athanc of Everblight.
56
The Prophets first actions were to descend upon the
Nyss to shatter their old life and awaken their destiny as
Everblights chosen. Guided by Everblights will, Thagrosh
has transformed the Nyss into a blighted army ready to die
for the dragons purposes. From his draconic blood he has
birthed new dragonspawn in a variety of horrible forms that
please his master. Thagrosh is a terror unequaled on Caen
who leaves behind only the choking ash of corruption.

Everblight did not warn Thagrosh of the painful
transmutation that would follow his consumption of
Pyromalfics athanc. From the first moments after the
triumph at the Castle of the Keys, Thagrosh experienced a
blend of agony and ecstasy as blighted energies suffused
his being. The process of sublimating Pyromalfics essence
into Everblights consciousness brought a host of confusing
memories, sensations, and physiological changes. Now, no
longer ogrun, Thagrosh has become something the world
has never seen, his form closer to and yet distinct from the
dragons themselves. He has become Everblights true avatar.
Thagrosh has never been comfortable in his new flesh. His
skin, bones, and sinew continue to shift as if struggling to
contain the wild power within him. This discomfort vanishes
in battle, however, where he revels in his new strength and his
nearly effortless evocation of blighted power. Some part of him
understands his mortal flesh will ultimately fail to contain the
might of dragons, but when combat is upon him he relishes
the godlike sensations. Doubts about his future creep into the
corners of his mind only in those rare, still moments when he
stands vigil over his protean army, thoughtfully watching it
gather its strength for the next engagement.
Thagroshs metamorphosis came when he had just begun to
separate his identity from Everblights. The ogrun had reached
an unspoken accord with his master and started to put forth
a distinct voice as leader of the Legion. Since he consumed
Pyromalfics athanc, however, Everblights presence is
stronger than ever, a raging tornado of intelligence and
hubris. It is as though Everblight is stirring just below surface
of Thagroshs thoughts, a vast alien presence impatiently
looking through his eyes and sometimes speaking with his
tongue. Thagrosh loses himself for long hours, subsumed by
the mind of the dragon. Every time he rises from its depths,
he feels its gravitational pull more strongly.
Draconic temper increasingly dominates Thagroshs mood.
As the dragon spreads his mind and grows in power,
Thagrosh finds it increasingly difficult to restrain the impulse
to let loose his full strength. He feels this fury like the touch of
searing iron igniting the pure dragon blood pumping through
his veins. The urge to enter battle at the slightest provocation
can at times become overwhelming, and indulging in these
slaughters serves to quiet his thoughts only for a time. It is
not enough to simply be victorioushe must annihilate each
foe utterly.

 WARBEASTS
OF THE LEGION OF EVERBLIGHT
The warbeasts of the Legion of Everblight take many shapes.
Armed with teeth and talons, they are creations seemingly
born from nightmares. Like the ancient dragons their forms
emulate, they cut down foes with swift strikes of their claws
or assail them with exhalations of scorching flame, leaving
behind nothing more than ashes. They are predators pure in
form, refined beyond what is found in natureproducts of
the dark and calculating mind of Everblight.
The Nature of
the Beast
Unlike the warbeasts used by many of the primal cultures
of western Immoren, the living weapons of the Legion
of Everblight are spawned for the express purpose of war
and slaughter. These creatures inherently share a link with
the dragons warlocks and do not require training. Instead,
they come into existence prepared to receive the bond of
a warlock, already possessing whichever unnatural gifts
Everblight deemed suitable when first dreaming up their
forms in his labyrinthine mind.
Each warbeast is designed for a specific purpose, its form
perfectly suited to that task. Physically powerful and heavily
armored warbeasts like the carnivean tear through enemy
ranks, while stalking horrors like the raek prowl unseen by
the enemy before striking from concealment. The teraph is a
patient guardian, able to burrow into the earth and remain
there with minimal expenditure of energy almost indefinitely
until it springs forth to attack. Other warbeasts, like the
64
angelius and seraph, attack from the skies or provide aerial
reconnaissance. Each is a product of Everblights biological
engineering, an unnatural weapon of war. Many of these
dragonspawn designs are ancient, conceived by the dragon
to guard his lair under Morrdh or to serve as weapons of
terror against that kingdoms enemies. Others are more
recently derived.
Although they are alive in the most basic sense of the
word, Everblights dragonspawn are not natural animals
but rather organic constructs, crafted as deliberately as the
wolds fashioned by the blackclads. They are essentially
biological machines, lacking the drives, emotions, and
mental complexity of ordinary beasts. They have familiar
bodily structures such as muscles, skin, blood, internal
organs, and bones, and they need food to grow to full mass
and to fight at peak effectiveness, but hunger is one of their
few internal drives. They do not require sleep, and even
when deprived of sustenance a dragonspawn can endure far
longer than ordinary creatures, atrophying and shrinking
over an extended period without perishing. When given
ample nourishment, they can be restored to full vitality and
size with alarming speed. Similarly, they are able to reach
full potency very quickly after being first spawned, requiring
none of the slow and laborious growth and development of
natural living creatures.
Dragonspawn are born with enhanced senses to aid them
in the pursuit of prey. They can identify the scent of an
individual from over a mile away and can hear even the
slightest sounds. Lacking eyes, the spawn experience the
world through special organs that give vivid feedback
through the blighted energies they continually radiate. This
unique perception allows them to view their surroundings
unhindered by battlefield smoke or the cover of nightfall,
giving them a distinct advantage in conditions of low
visibility. These blighted senses were designed to help the
dragonspawn with tasks such as guarding their masters and
hunting. The focus of these senses is intentionally narrowed
so the spawn can carry out these roles with minimal
distraction. Dragonspawn also have limited reactions to
impulses like pain or extremes in temperature. If their tasks
require it, these spawn can ignore even the most drastic
damage to their bodies without flinching. Self-preservation
is an instinct as unknown to them as fear.
Spawn of other dragons are prone to wandering off to slay
indiscriminately and thereby draw unwanted attention, but
Everblight has learned well the benefits of remaining unnoticed.
He builds his servants to wait inert but aware, conserving
energy until they are needed for a specific task or prompted
into action by the appearance of enemies. The creatures are
not truly mindlessthey possess ingrained behavior patterns
that help them excel at the tasks for which they are designed
but they rarely initiate activity other than hunting when first
spawned. All actions a dragonspawn performs are rooted in
instructions either built into the creature or given by one of
Everblights warlocks. Each spawns true potential is reached
only when directly controlled.
Birthed from Blood
Dragons draw upon the blighted power in their blood to
produce dragonspawn, and Everblight is no exception. The
primary difference, aside from Everblights control over the
form his spawn take, is that he is capable of producing much
greater volumes of them through his warlock proxies. The
athanc shard transforms the blood in his hosts to draconic
blood filled with the generative power of his blight. This
transformative property grants Everblight the power to
produce dragonspawn by proxy, something never before
seen with other dragons, and it frees the Legion to create
spawn in seemingly unlimited numbers.
To create dragonspawn, Everblights warlocks must spill their
own blood, choosing at that time the form of the beast they
require to be spawned. That blood reacts to the will of both
the warlock and Everblight and assumes the form desired,
usually chosen from well-known templates developed over
Everblights long centuries of experimentation. Warlocks
must offer varying amounts of blood depending on the size
WARBEASTS OF THE LEGION OF EVERBLIGHT 65
 and complexity of the beast being created, ranging from
a trickle for a smaller spawn such as a shredder to severe
exsanguination for the creation of large spawn such as a
ravagore or an angelius. Whether due to the particular
potency of their blood or to an innate ability of the blighted
form bestowed by Everblight, warlocks such as Thagrosh
and Absylonia can spawn hardier beasts that mature faster
than those of the dragons other vassals.
Creating warbeasts is a taxing process that sometimes requires
removing valuable warlocks from the field until they recover
from blood loss. It is for this reason that spawning vessels
were created and have been steadily improved to lessen the
burden on the warlocks. An innovation initially pioneered
by the sorceress Vayl Hallyr, spawning vessels allow for the
creation of warbeasts with a fraction of the normal resources
and do not require a warlocks involvement beyond an initial
contribution of blood to prime the process.
Massive cauldrons made specifically for this purpose,
spawning vessels transmute volumes of lesser flesh and blood
into fully formed spawn. Common spawning vessels can
produce only the least of Everblights spawn in this manner.
A limited number of larger and more powerful vessels exist,
and it is a priority for the Legions sorcerers to create more. As
the blighted Legion ranges farther across western Immoren,
Everblight has come to rely increasingly on these vessels to
bolster his forces and to replace dragonspawn killed in battle.
66 WARBEASTS OF THE LEGION OF EVERBLIGHT
The fabrication of spawning vessels is a difficult and time-
consuming process requiring arcane rituals conducted by
Nyss sorcerers in conjunction with a warlock of Everblight.
The vessels are inscribed with Aeric runes to channel the
powerful blighted energies they draw upon to complete the
transformation of bodies placed within. A warlock contributes
a small quantity of draconic blood both to empower these
runes and to serve as a transformative base coating the
bottom of the vessel. From that point on, vessel attendants
called acolyths can reactivate the patterned energies to
transform ordinary blood and flesh into dragonspawn
without additional athanc-empowered blood.
Although still only half-formed, a newborn dragonspawn
already displays the formidable natural weaponry,
near-insatiable hunger, and honed instinct to kill that is
characteristic of all dragonspawn. Freshly spawned beasts
are immediately taken on hunts to slake their appetite and
add the mass necessary to reach full size. If given access to
an adequate supply of flesh and blood to consume, even
the largest warbeasts can attain full size within hours
of creation. This unnaturally rapid maturation makes it
possible for Legion elements that include a spawning
vessel to greatly augment an existing fighting force or to
swiftly replace destroyed dragonspawn in the field without
returning to an encampment.

free will and a degree of independent intelligence lacking in

unlike the race from which they were derived. Isolated from
the clannish Nyss society, the creatures naturally gravitate
toward warlocks, whom they revere as direct conduits to the
dragon who is their god and father. In years to come they
may develop the rudiments of their own culture, but for now
they have been willing to devote their lives to loyal service.

Nephilim are not born into the world bonded to a master like
Everblights other spawn. A warlock who wishes to command
a nephilim must establish that bond, which requires physical
contact between the warlock and nephilim. Once this bond
is established, the nephilim can be trained to fulfill specific
battlefield roles, often determined by its specific anatomy.
Nephilim have been rigorously trained to be perfect soldiers,
artillerists, protectors of warlocks, and even bloodseers
gifted with the ability to weave spells.

The nephilim are one of Everblights greatest achievements

in the refinement of his blight, combining the intelligence
and versatility of the Nyss with the tenacity and ferocity of
his spawn. As his experiments continue to turn the nephilim
into new and more specialized creatures, it is only a matter of
time before the blighted Nyss begin to question whether they
have any place at all in the future of the dragons armies.

Gargantuans
Creating the most powerful of Everblights spawn requires
more than just a few drops of a warlocks blood in a spawning
vessel brimming with gore. For gargantuan dragonspawn,
the potency of the flesh and bone used in the spawning
ritual are of the utmost importance. Creating a gargantuan
requires a substantial quantity of fresh flesh, the blood of
multiple warlocks working in unison, and some portion

 WARRIORS
OF THE LEGION OF EVERBLIGHT
The ranks of Everblights legion are unlike any other fighting
force in western Immoren. The dragons troops serve their
master with a loyalty and singularity of purpose that other
military commanders can only dream of, performing each
given task with speed, proficiency, and utter devotion.
Existing alongside this ruthless efficiency is a cold emptiness
and a changed essence that goes beyond the physical
manifestations of the dragons blight. To outsiders, the
plight of Nyss soldiers seems worse than deaththey
gain augmented killing prowess in exchange for absolute,
unflinching loyalty and a lifetime of thankless devotion.
Although other creatures such as the blighted ogrun also
serve Everblight, the ranks of blighted Nyss are his most
numerous and important servants. They are present at all
levels of the Legions hierarchy, from the warlocks who lead
the dragons forces to the lowliest foot soldiers who carry
out their orders. The dragons blight enhances their physical
strength and agility but accentuates certain dark traits
inherent in all transformed Nyss. Their magnified cruelty
and rapacity have turned the Nyss into killers as stoically
merciless and guiltless as any predatory beast.
The Nyss have managed to retain much of their cultural
identity even as other aspects of their once-proud society
have been subsumed or reinterpreted for a life of constant
conflict. Many Nyss warrior traditions have survived the
races assimilation into the Legion; the Nyss observe some
of them with far more rigorous attention than before the
blight, as if they feel compelled to preserve specific elements
98
of their former existence. Once peerless hunters of the frozen
north, the Nyss now turn their fearsome capabilities against
the enemies of Everblight, descending upon them with
murderous fury.
Whether Nyss or ogrun, all Legion troops share one
commonality: they bear the dragons blight within their
flesh. The manner in which the blight manifests, however,
largely depends upon an individuals natural predilections.
The process enhances characteristics already present in the
subject while also instilling qualities prized by Everblight.
At the most basic level, the blight bestows greater physical
prowess and an unshakable sense of loyalty to Everblight,
as well as physical changes like small horns, scales, or body
spikes. Character traits Everblight sees as detrimental or
valueless in warriorslike compassion or fearare stripped
away in favor of heightened cruelty and instinctual cunning.
The blight alters the bodies of other soldiers to better suit
their roles and performance on the battlefield. Some of these
transformations are decidedly animalistic, such as in the case
of striders, who gain modified legs to increase their speed
and agility in addition to a markedly enhanced predatory
disposition. The changes wrought upon Nyss swordsmen are
less evident but no less dramatic, as their minds are stripped
of all thought except a singular devotion to their deadly craft.
This change is useful to their function as skilled killers, but
they are less able to make considered judgments and perform
other tasks required of commanding officers.
Everblights power wreaks even more frightful and
unpredictable changes upon blighted ogrun warmongers.
Like most of the dragons Legion, they have become more
savage and brutal than ever before. The blight has gone
further in the ogrun, however, robbing them of sanity and
bathing their minds in crazed hallucinations that drive
them to a madness only battle and bloodshed can relieve.
Everblight has less direct control over the changes affecting
ogrun, though most of these qualities still serve his purposes,
augmenting their ferocity as shock troops.
In others, the blight takes a more drastic course, twisting and
distorting their bodies beyond recognition. Degenerate and
brutish yet possessing an undeniable blight-born cunning,
the bestial grotesques scarcely resemble the Nyss stock from
which they are spawned. A few, like the forsaken, are so
infused with blighted energy they lose themselves entirely to
the dragons warping influence. Unlike the perfecting blight
that evolves the bodies of most of Everblights soldiers,
within the forsaken the transformation is random and
spontaneous, characterized by shocking aberration rather
than natural augmentation.
The blight can also amplify the sorcerous potential of those
it affects, whether by magnifying their existing arcane gifts
or by unlocking previously unrecognized arcane potential.
Currently, arcane aptitude is on the rise among the blighted
Nyssone of the many gifts the dragon has bestowed upon
his chosen people.
NYSS BLADES AND CLAYMORES
The Nyss have long been renowned for
their elegant and unusual curved blades,
particularly the Nyss claymorea
graceful implement of death more
than four feet long designed to deliver
a devastating killing blow. Nyss blades
are commonly adorned with Aeric runes
and are never allowed to become dull
or suffer the ravages of time.
Before the coming of Everblight, Nyss
bladesmiths learned their craft at a
young age and honed it throughout
their lives. Those who survived the
blighting now reside within the Legions
few near-permanent camps, where
they labor alongside the acolyths who
manufacture fresh horrors in the gory
soup of spawning vessels.
The blighted Nyss still treat their
blades with a reverence that borders
on religious devotion, going to great
lengths to recover the weapons of
those who fall on the battlefield. This
veneration is a holdover from ancient
warrior traditions and is one of the
strongest vestiges of Nyss culture still
found among the blighted.

WEAPON MASTER
The blighted Nyss swordsmen now turn their skill upon Everblights enemies, be
those Khadorans, hardy trollkin, or survivors of their own Nyss bloodlines.

Blighted swordsmen hold a close connection to their swordsthe traditionally sacred

weapons of the Nyssand this could well be the only remnant of ordinary emotions
they retain. In battle they achieve perfect union with their claymores and fight without
fear of death. They even disdain armor, preferring to enter battle bare-chested.

The swordsmen revere their blades more than any single life, fastidiously
accounting for the weapons of their fallen compatriots after battle is done. They
consider their treasured claymores the embodiment of their essence, refusing
to abandon these keen reminders of their past. The only satisfaction they might
derive from life, in fact, is knowing their swords will outlast them. Between battles,
blighted swordsmen can often be found staring at their weapons as if recapturing
a faint memory of their former lives.

Such tactics are rendered further ineffective when the banshees emit sonic waves

The cry of this blighted creature is so effective a weapon that, while grappling
with prey, the banshee will scream in the opponents face rather than resort to
claws or fangs. Most foes subjected to this sonic assault die outright, while others
undergo intense agony as their hearing is instantly destroyed. For most victims,

 PAINTING
YOUR ARMY
As a hobby miniatures game deeply rooted in lore and
character, HORDES offers hundreds of distinctive and
highly detailed models designed for maximum modeling
and painting enjoyment. Each model is a canvas on which
to unleash your own creativity and imagination. You can
choose to try your hand at the tried-and-true P3 Studio
scheme, dive deeper into the Iron Kingdoms setting with an
alternate paint scheme drawn from the lore and background
of your Faction, or throw convention to the wind and create
a completely original look for your models. Whatever your
choice, few things are as rewarding as bringing your army to
life with your brush and some paints.
When painting an army, as in life, the fun truly lies in the
journey more than in the destination. And like every journey,
the road to a fully painted force begins with a crucial first
stepin this case, deciding how you want your army to look!
The following pages contain color guides and quick tips
designed to provide inspiration for your Legion of Everblight
painting adventure. We begin with a look at models painted
in the traditional studio scheme for the Legion. This scheme
is shown throughout the model gallery on pages 142153.
Whether or not you decide to emulate the studio scheme, it
is a great foundation to draw from with its cold, pale whites,
chitinous black-browns, and rich blue-blacks.
Next we present some alternative approaches to painting
your Legion models. The Legion of Everblight represents
numerous hosts of the dragon scattered across Immoren.
While all serve the glory of the dragon, most of Everblights
forces have their own individual look drawn from the
environment in which they fight as well as from the legacy of
their former tribal colors. Some of these include the nocturnal
grey-black and midnight-blue of the Blackfrost Shard, the
deep greens and bone-white of the Scales of Everblight, and
the crimson and scorched-black of the Hellmist Shard. By
combining ideas from the setting, the studio scheme, and the
real world, you can easily create a unique look for your army
that still feels right at home in the Iron Kingdoms.
Finally, for those who really want to flex their creative
muscles, we present a radically different paint scheme drawn
straight from the imagination of the painter who created it, as
well as some great examples of Legion of Everblight models
painted by the WARMACHINE and HORDES community to
inspire your own unique creations. Choosing a more original
or whimsical approach can result in a truly eye-catching
army, but such schemes rely on careful planning and a
willingness to experiment with multiple combinations of
colors until everything has been dialed in just right to create
a balanced yet visually striking effect. When it comes to your
armys special look, inspiration can spring from anywhere.
Regardless of which direction you decide to take in painting
your own Legion force, we hope this guide provides you
with the spark needed to set your imagination on fire as you
sit down with brush in hand to create an army as individual
as you!

Painter's Inspiration
The Legion of Everblight is a horrific alien force, and the
color scheme we use on the studio army emphasizes this
fact. Details like blood spatter, white pupilless eyes, and
the blue glow of blighted fire appear sparingly but have
great impact.

The Legion paint scheme relies on high value contrast

rather than color contrast to achieve its look. Large
sections of platinum and snowy white contrast with
dark browns and blacks for a striking effect. To keep
the palette from being overpowering, there is no color
contrast on the models; instead, complementary colors of
dark blue-green, magenta, and pale purples harmonize
to produce a balanced look.

For more examples of Legion of Everblight models with

studio paint schemes, see the gallery on pages 142153,
or go to privateerpress.com.

PAINTING TIPS
When painting the wings of Legion of Everblight beasts, paint
the skin as you wish, but instead of highlighting with Morrow
White use Carnal Pink mixed with the base color. This technique
adds contrast and makes the wings seem thin and flexible.

Painter's Inspiration
As the primary vessel for the bulk of Everblights athanc,
Thagroshs importance to the Legion of Everblight is
beyond any of his fellow warlocks'. As befits his honored
station among Everblights pantheon, Thagrosh often
marches at the center of the dragons entire legion.
Nevertheless, even while surrounded by the bulk of the
Legions strength, Thagrosh is rarely seen without his
personal honor guard known as the Scales of Everblight.
Unlike the pale whites and brown-blacks characteristic
of most of the Legion, the Scales of Everblight boast deep,
rich crimsons and stark bone- or flint-colored chitin.
The warriors of the Scales are so attached to the dragon
that they have forsaken traditional steel weapons and
instead fashion their blades from specially treated chitin
taken from the bodies of Thagroshs greatest spawn.

through the brush. Practice a few times on paper to get the feel
of the technique.

Painter's Inspiration
By Tony Konichek

I imagined my Legion of Everblight army to be a stealthy,

ambushing force emerging from the shadows to deal out
blighted death to their doomed victims. To make the
army feel like it was lurking in a dim, twilight landscape,
I wanted the beast flesh to be much darker than the
bright white of the official studio paint scheme. For
inspiration, I flipped through back issues of No Quarter
and in issue #33 found the Blackfrost Spawn nephilim,
who work their murderous deeds in the dead of night.
Just what I was looking for! The charcoal-colored flesh
was perfect for creatures seeking to remain unseen in the
dark, and the cool blue of the natural armor evoked their
frozen domain. Plus, the same colors used for the beast
flesh would look fantastic for clothing and uniforms on
the other units and models in the army.

After painting a basecoat, I mixed a wash for the shadows

and painted that over the top. Next, I added progressive
highlights to each area with a lighter color. I wanted the

PAINTING TIPS
Add some small dots from the chitin shade color to the
finished flesh areas around the chitin. Gently glaze the area
with a lighter tone to blend in the elements.
