Faction lore

The most bloodthirsty Raider Captains can fall into the worship of mighty Leviathan itself, the great beast of oceans and once the Hell Prince of Envy, now cast down and cruelly bound. The Leviathan Shoal mercilessly slaughters the weakest of their numbers so that only the strongest survive. They sacrifice flesh and blood in Leviathan’s name, and they adopt the shark as their totem, holding that they are heralds and offspring of the great beast and that they share its immortal strength and bottomless hunger. Indeed, great shoals of sharks follow the ships of the Leviathan Shoal everywhere in hungry anticipation, for the warbands of the Leviathan Shoal are infamous for their brutality and terror, slaughtering all they capture. Ever eager to come to blows in physical combat, guns exhibit little allure for them. They cannibalise the flesh of the dead, friend and foe alike, growing fat on their vile feasting and tossing the remnants to the ever-present sharks that roil in their crimson wake. In lean times they will turn on another without thought, victor feasting on the vanquished, for they believe only the strongest deserve to thrive and a mortal life can only be kept intact by one strong and savage enough to protect it.

Lore

The Heretic Captain is the absolute master of their ship and every soul aboard it. They are high priests and prophets to their crew, delivering sermons and making sacrifices upon the blood-slick deck. A Heretic Captain has pledged themselves wholly to one of the Seven-Headed Serpents, bartering their immortal soul in exchange for absolute power over their small mortal kingdom bordered only by wood or iron. They are strange, driven men, given to greed, madness and obsession, caught in an eternal geas to seek and plunder for their infernal masters to repay debts that can never be fulfilled.

Lore

The Abyssal Commando is a Death Commando who chooses to stalk the depths alone, often invading harbours and estuaries to doom ships hiding from the raiders upon the high seas. Outside the water Abyssal commandos are surrounded by a freezing mist born of the eternal cold that they carry with them from the lightless depths. They arise to work alongside Raider crews in response to a distant call only they can hear.

-2 Injury Modifier

Lore

Reinforced armour is a master-crafted suit made individually for the most important and elite troops. Each one is richly decorated and often carries the personal device of the warrior who wears it.

Lore

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.

Reinforced armour is a master-crafted suit made individually for the most important and elite troops. Each one is richly decorated and often carries the personal device of the warrior who wears it.

Lore

The origins of the Scripture Guardians remain shrouded in mystery, though rumours suggest they were created by the great masters of Kabbalah. Accounts of their existence began circulating in the early days of the Great War as the destruction of Jerusalem unearthed tombs and sacred resting places. Those who had once been interned in peace now wander the unhappy land, endlessly reciting the sacred writings entrusted to them in death. On rare occasions, expeditions into No Man’s Land have encountered such creatures, and by placing a holy text of their faith into its hands, they have transformed the Scripture Guardian into a powerful ally, bound to the will of those who align with the holy (or desecrated) scroll or tome it holds.

Capable of speaking and reading the One True Language, the Scripture Guardian can unleash the powers it calls upon against anyone its master commands. It carries out its purpose with the single-mindedness of an automaton, devoid of thought or empathy. When spoken by the Guardian, the words are imbued with the primordial power of Creation, and capable of unmaking anything in their path. The longer the Guardian concentrates on its target, the greater the power it channels.
