Few, if any Dweghom, understand the phenomenon that the Heralds represent. The only ones who might have some understanding of these are the very eldest of sorcerers and the cryptic the Steel Shapers, and they chose to remain silent on the topic even when confronted with the existence of the Heralds of Magma, who seem to share their Mastery of Primordial Earth and Fire, but employ it in a completely different way: seeking to destroy, rather than create.

When Hazlia fell, countless fragments of his divine realm were recovered by his devoted servants across the length and breadth of Capitas. These small fragments of divinity retain to power to animate and agitate the normally compliant souls of the un-Gods faithful, rousing them and allowing a small fraction of his deathly Will to spill over into the world, sapping the very life force and vitality of his foes.

A Strategos is the supreme commander of a Dominion Legion, a master of men who commanded the absolute loyalty of his troops, serving as their temporal and spiritual leader while on campaign. His mastery was one of strategy and diplomacy, allowing his officers, the ten Xhiliarchs who served under him to focus on logistics, tactics and the disposition of the troops. Entombed with all the pomp and ceremony one could expect, their awakening into an unlife of service is complete with misery and loss, for unlike the lesser order they not only retain their cognitive function, but memories from before. This makes them a double edged sword for those who would seek to command them: while one of the easiest and most efficient ways to secure the performance and power of an awakened Legion, the Strategoi are no unthinking minions to command. Their cognitive function and memories have allowed them to retain their personalities and with it, ambition. Battlefield Role: Character Class: Medium Type: Infantry

Modest, humble and absolutely terrified a Neophyte really has no place on the battlefield... but devout warriors of the Hundred Kingdoms are often accompanied by one nonetheless. Capable of providing final rites and shriving the troops of their sins, the presence of a neophyte does little for the battle effectiveness of the troop, but does mark them as devout in the eyes of their general and gods.

Second in command to the Centarchos, the lowest ranked officer minted by the Collegia of the Old Dominion, the Optio is a stern, experienced veteran whose responsibility it is than an officer’s orders be obeyed… or ignored. When the Imperial Legions were born, veteran commanders quickly realized they needed a link, a lynchpin between the professional officer corps being produced by the Colleges and the veteran legionnaires that formed the backbone of all Legions.

Such is the prestige and Aghm of the position of Hold Raegh, that even the eldest of Mnemancers begrudgingly concede that his deeds must be recorded. Sending even the most junior of their members to witness and record the Raegh’s actions in combat is a tremendous boon to an ambitious warlord. Warriors under his command will fight like men possessed, refusing to take a single backward step while under the merciless gaze of history personified.

Here we have a rather deranged looking Dweghom command upgrade character who might had the odd mishap with his own flames of war! Battlefield Role: Command Upgrade Type: Infantry

Today the War Colleges represent one of the only sources of higher education in the Hundred Kingdoms. Wealthy and influential parents face only three real choices: the War Colleges, the Church Schools or an apprenticeship. The War Colleges remain by far the most popular choice.

For many in the Tempered Caste, the Steelshaper represents the pinnacle of Dweghom development, but the sad truth is that none of those who aspire to this lofty title and incredible achievement truly understands what the transformation entails. When a Dweghom sorcerer achieves such mastery over his power that he can control both primordial affinities, he is capable of ascending to a higher understanding of the powers he commands. This much is understood by all who walk the path of the Sorcerer, and is the source of the raw power that Magma Sorcerers can command. The mistake they make is in believing that mixing these primordial elements is anything like melding them. Only a small fraction of Sorcerers ever attain this level of mastery over the Elements, with most simply stopping upon achieving mastery over Magma. The comfortable lie one might chose to believe in is that most Sorcerers simply lack the touch of genius needed to achieve such complete control. The most perceptive amongst those who speak to these Master Sorcerers might see the real reason hiding behind their gruff demeanours and overwhelming Elemental power: fear.
