Heretic Naval Raiders
The Heretic fleet operates as a semi-autonomous entity under the command of its High Captain and other admirals. The Heretics have their own marine infantry, which often operate in small bands, striking deep behind enemy lines and executing smash-and-grab missions. They are always on the lookout for captives, loot, information, supplies, rare artefacts, and any opportunity to express their cruelty and brutality.

Choristers sacrifice themselves upon black altars, and if worthy, rise after nine days, finishing their own beheading as their severed heads begin to sing. Their hymns conjure visions of Hell, sapping the strength and resolve of all who hear, the Chorister’s cold blood forming diabolic symbols in rhythm with their unholy chorus. Those who hear their song find their minds flooded with visions from the Pits of Hell, weakening both their resolve and strength, as the dreadful music eats away at their very soul.

A Heretic who has made a holy pilgrimage into Hell itself is branded by their patron devil with an ever-burning mark. Mortal fire no longer has the power to harm them.

Artillery Witches stalk the battlefields, hurling ordnance assembled in the death factories of Hell’s Third Circle. They are completely mute, and no one has ever seen their faces, leading some to question if they are even alive. Rumours suggest that they too, were manufactured in Hell. They can call forth an endless number of Infernal bombs from a portal to Hell that they manifest at will, summoning them to their hands from a gate of midnight blackness.

Many unfortunates fall into the hands of Heretic warbands, captured in raids, purchased from the slave markets, or seized by watchful patrols. Such Wretched are branded with cursed flesh-eating tattoos as a safeguard against escape and heavily drugged to degrade and dull their will, while still leaving their aggression intact.

Because of the martial traditions of many proud nations and due to the advances in armour technology, swords and axes are extremely popular, especially amongst elite units and officers. They are supremely useful for finishing off downed opponents and causing profusely bleeding wounds.
Reinforced Armour

Goetic Warlocks are nightmarish creations forged in the death factories of the Third Circle of Hell. Captured priests, prophets, vicars, rectors, and monks are tortured in fiendish machines that burn away their flesh with hellfire, encasing their still-living skeletons in infernal suits of armour, and stamping them with Goetic runes. The process is so agonising that the victims, driven by desperation, willingly enter into demonic pacts, seeking an end to their unbearable suffering. Thus, a new Goetic Warlock is born, now a ruthless predator, driven to hunt the very mortals they once swore to protect.
The mere gaze of a Warlock induces necrosis. In close quarters, they clasp their enemies in a merciless embrace. Drawing on Goetic power, they portal to a secluded location, where they can savour the prolonged destruction of their victim, slowly shredding them into pieces. They revel in the grotesque act of skinning their victims alive, transforming the remains into repulsive vellum for dark grimoires and profane religious texts. Some even wear the faces of their victims to power their illusionary spells, confounding their enemies.
Due to the rarity of the victims required to create Goetic Warlocks, these abominations are reserved for the most renowned Heretic commanders, with the greatest need and the most influential connections in the twisted web of Heretic politics. Mammon, the mighty devil of Greed, offers his personal battalion of Warlocks to the highest bidder.

Sin Eaters were once mortal men and women, but their overwhelming greed, combined with the corrupting influence of the Hellgate, turned them into an abominable form that matches their inner foulness. Sin Eaters are among the few creatures outside Beelzebub’s followers that he deems worthy as their boundless gluttony mirrors his essence.
