====Hill-King====

Much of High Rock is split into endless city-states, principalities, baronies, and duchies.  Each of these small territories are hardened by past infighting, the otherwise idyllic landscape marred by war and fortifications.  Claiming hold of these locations are the Hill Kings- those of the magickal elite that stubbornly cling to power.  In the past it was not uncommon for travelers to be carted to the hill-fortresses to have tribute demanded, for traversing this particular lord's land.  Though this is mostly put in the past, the rulers that remain are every bit as petty and demanding.  Lands owned by these nobles are generally small, and made up of few hamlets or villages.  That is not to say that the kings are infirm or weakly followed, as they all tend to have loyal bands of thugs and men-at-arms, all willing to fight to the death.  Hill Kings that live through the in-fighting and power attempts end up consolidating their power, by conquest of nearby territories or treaty signing.  It is these grayed but clever rulers that oft are the most dangerous.

====Sorcerer Lord====

It is unsurprising that many of the most powerful sorcerers in history have hailed from High Rock.  Here, children are often tested for magical aptitude, and quickly placed under tutorships of older mages when proven able.  From there one can rise through the ranks of the local Mages Guild (who encompassed most, if not all of High Rock), or eschew the guidance and seek training on their own terms.  The most powerful of these folk are called Sorcerer Lords- they are the men and women with the most concentrate, surfaced elven blood, and an innate knack for spellcasting.  These magicians frequently claim territories of their own, much like Hill-Kings, or serve as barons or counts for the more established nobility.  Unlike many other practitioners, Sorcerer Lords are given quiet solitude from which to practice their talents, and tribute to see to it that studies are funded.

[[File:hr_warlock.jpg|250px|thumb|right]]
====Warlock====

Deceivers.  Oath breakers.  To many citizens of Tamriel there is no more foul and detestable being then a warlock.  While it is quite often easy to tell the difference between a mage and such a creature, it is also rather easy for the same mages to be tempted by the darker powers.  A lust for an artifact, the feeling of helplessness, or the need of vengeance can all easily send one into a downward spiral.  Still other practitioners are simply taught to cherish evil powers from the beginning without knowing better.  The end result is much the same, no matter the cause - a powerful spellcaster hungry for power, with little care for the well-being of others or themselves.

Warlocks favor necromancy and illusion magic- both of which are rather disliked as a whole, or forbidden altogether.  No other magick is quite so fulfilling to abuse.  In addition to bending others to their will, and raising hordes of the undead, these folk also frequently strike pacts with Daedra.  It is this combination of reckless hunger and non-existent morals that make warlocks extremely dangerous.  It is not unheard of for a warlock to appear before a community as a benevolent caster, wishing them aid, only to quickly infiltrate positions of power.  Unchecked they can cause unbridled suffering among populated areas

110 pts

Reachmagic: At any time during your turn, you may nominate a friendly, mortal model within 2" of the Warlock.  Roll a dice- on a result of 5+, an additional Power Die is granted to the Warlock.  On 4- the targeted model is automatically wounded yet still confers a Power Die if slain.

[[File:hr_attendant.jpg|400px|thumb|right]]
====Attendant====

Attendants are the personal guards of a King or Sorcerer.  They are frequently nobles or counts, but can occasionally also be high-ranking members of a guild, or simply hired mercenaries of exceptional prowess.  As a side effect of following nobility, these men and women tend to be thugs or opportunists.  That's not to say that there is no such thing as a noble-minded attendant- rather that they take the protection of their lord very seriously.

Attendants are not Hero choices in their own right, but may be taken as bodyguard upgrades for various models. Infantry, Breton. Unit size and formation are determined by what model they are attached to.

25mm x 25mm base.

'''Wargear:''' Hand Weapon, Shield, Plate Armor

'''Spells:''' None.

'''Special Rules:''' Precision

Hands: Attendants are always purchased along with an Independent Character. The Character and his Attendants function together as a single Independent Character, except while the Character is in a challenge. Attendants cannot Look out Sir!, but may receive Look out Sir! hits, wounds and effects from the character they are protecting.   An Attendant adopts the unit size and formation of the unit he is attached to, and always functions as part of the Independent Character he is attached to(while remaining a separate model), with the exceptions described above.

Less-then-honorable: If the accompanied Character is in a challenge one of the Attendants may attempt to make a rear attack onto the enemy's character before any blows are struck.  Roll for Initiative- on a success a single melee attack automatically strikes the enemy character, as if the attendant had charged from cover.  Regardless of what happens, if the enemy character is part of a unit (either has a retinue or joined a unit), the attendant is mercilessly hacked down and removed from the game.

Any number of Attendants may replace both hands with:

*Dagger and hand weapon (free)

*Two hand weapons (free)

*Great Weapon +6 pts per model

*Bow or Short Bow +2 pts per model

Any number of Attendants may replace their armor with:

*Leather (free)

*Maille (free)

*Full Plate Armor +6 pts per model

Any number of Attendants may upgrade any number of their weapons to:

*Poisoned(4+) +10 pts per weapon

If the model protected by the Attendant is mounted, each Attendant must also be mounted for +8 pts each. A mounted Attendant may take a Lance for +3 pts.  Mounted Attendants lose their ''Less-Then-Honorable'' special rule but are allowed to attempt Glorious Intervention.

Each Attendant may take up to 15 points of magic items from the armory where appropriate.

An attendant may bear the army's Battle Standard for +35 pts.
