"Summon the Legions!  We shall offer battle within Bleak Vale!  This time, OUR cause shall triumph!"

Cowardly maggots! Bow your thrice cursed heads and thank the goddess that you still draw unworthy breath!

The soldiers charged screaming into battle, their faces twisted into masks of hatred as they struck out with blows stronger then humans would normally be capable of. Each wore on his shield arm a Star of Rage, a starfish-like creature, ruddy red with the blood that it was draining from his body.

Capable of delivering up to 20 iron spikes per minute at nearly the velocity of an arrow, the Iron Spike Launcher-9000 is the front line weapon of his most elite clock-work soldiers.

The Pocket Ironbones, whilst not quite the war machines that they were intended to be, have been useful in the service of Banhosea all the same.

I would be willing, yes glad, to see a battle every day during my life.

Commander of the Legion XIX (retired)

War has begun, and the troops have begun to move. Lying on the border between Esteov and the God’s Spine Mountains, Kerrengen Keep secures the main source of fresh water for the capital of Esteov, Lake Kerrengen.

“They just keep coming.  You cut one down, two more are right behind it.  We can’t win, they just keep coming…”

Is it liberation or conquest? Humane thought or wanton deicide?
A malicious ploy to make the divine starve?

Behold, for I am the form of Destruction

Inscription on the Virednith

Long has the question of truth been pondered. Long has this been a folly few recognise in time. A killer, a soldier even with a sword is one thing. But a killer who thinks he has found a definite truth, which he decides to fight for, is the most dangerous man in the world.

The nurse put a hand on his shoulder, speaking softly, “Calm down, sir, you’re inside a hospital.  You’re safe.”
The man’s eyes darted back and forth, his whole body shaking in terror, “Nooo,” He whispered, “I’ll never be safe, I saw him, I saw him jerking and writhing around, then he looked straight at me and fell over.”

Every soldier knows he may be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice. What he doesn’t always know is the depth of the other sacrifices he may be called upon to make.

The greatest of chieftains, uniter of the hordes, harbringer of chaos, many names he held, yet what is the truth behind one of the greatet Orc leaders of all time?

The largest warship of the Terran Hegemony capable of landing on Earth and launching again into orbit.

Even the boldest quake with fear of the Kobelyn Cavalry of Terkuss Tahkhan!  Especially if they’re on the same side!

Exiled from their home this elite military force is adrift in a foriegn land. All these people have ever known is war so they put themselves for sale as mere mercenaries at the same price as any other sword slingers. But these men have brought a new type of type of warfare to the northern lands and the fields of battle will run red with their enemy’s blood.

Mercenaries and bounty hunters? We don’t need the help of scum like that.

War is the biggest business of the future.

In an age of sail, one of the most important of resources is a source of tall, straight and strong trees for use as masts.  Mastwood island is one such location.

“Woe, brethren!  What hath these gods wrought?  For a thousand suns we have had peace, and now in an instant the light is being extinguished.  How can any survive in these Wars of the Sects?”

The Continent and its faiths have thrived with little fuss for a millenium.  And now, with a few holy words, all of heaven, earth, and hell seem to be at war…

Standing atop the parched hill and triumphantly displaying their gory trophies , the berserker s begin to shriek aloud their terrible, keening war-cries, confident that the coming battle will belong to them as the enemy flees before their frenzied onslaught, all its discipline and training forgotten in the face of a foe that harbors no fear at all for any enemy born of humanity.

Just as the red mist clouding their eyes begins to fill their minds with fantasies of mass slaughter, a mass of shadowy figures suddenly materialises out of the darkness, charging towards the berserkers with long, loping strides that lend them speed that is at once awesome and terrifying to witness, even to the crazed minds of these onlookers.

As a heavy,furry shape hurtles into the the commander, he falls to the ground,  his throat ripped out by the savage fangs of his assailant. As his life ebbs away from him in the rapidly expanding jet of blood gushing from his ripped arteries, savage growls become the lullaby lulling him into the never-ending slumber of death.

In seeking to escape serving the Lord of Ravens many a hope flickered and died, for those who oppose him end up serving him after all.

A rare sight, but one dreaded by the foes of dwarvendom.

Now was to be the Third such invasion, and who knows who would be writing the records….

"Your wall is impenetrable, eh? Its so thick it can withstand 100s of direct hits from any siege engine? I have but one word for you: magic."

When parapsychic abilities began manifesting, martial artists found that their discipline from years of training provided them with the acumen and ability to channel and control the unexpected powers that now flowed from their fingertips.

The holovids are full of stories about mecha garrisons bravely battling dastardly pirate raiders. It's a pretty picture for the propaganda films, but its a long way from the truth of the pirate raids.
