	Some unknown force can enter into those who are powerful or of noble blood; this Gift transforms the recipient into a powerful and ageless being. Men are usually granted lycanthropy, females vampirism, although it is only uncommon for the opposite gender.		Some unknown force can enter into those who are powerful or of noble blood; this Gift transforms the recipient into a powerful and ageless being. Men are usually granted lycanthropy, females vampirism, although it is only uncommon for the opposite gender rather than impossible which is why there are a few female werewolves and male vampires.

	Goritsi is very hierarchical and organized into septs that are loyal to the Goritsi house, with those given the Gift being responsible only to the courts of their fellows while the ordinary folk have virtually no rights. Come nightfall the commonfolk seal themselves away to hide and pray their own rulers don't decide to come to their door and test the lock. Goritsi also employs massive monsters called Blood Engines made of flesh which drain the blood and life energy of their foes to empower themselves.

	Telloria's many mountains once held a tribe of amazon warriors in the days before the Ancient King, and they are the originators of the exclusively female vampire warrior caste. While most kingdoms see the war as an eventuality, or a sad requirement for them to pass their superior culture onto others, Goritsi revels in the slaughter and was instrumental in kickstarting the conflict in the first place.		Telloria's many mountains once held a tribe of amazon warriors in the days before the Ancient King, and they are the originators of the exclusively female vampire warrior caste. While most kingdoms see the war as an eventuality, or a sad requirement for them to pass their superior culture onto others, Goritsi revels in the slaughter and was instrumental in kickstarting the conflict in the first place. The werewolves are less interested in war itself, and are more often recruited to clean up the messes of the vampires and defend the homeland, at least until they get enough of a taste for blood to reinterpret “defense” as “run amok alomg the borders”.

	Goritsi are fast killers, although if they can't finish off a foe before it gets a chance to strike back they usually don't survive the fight so hit and run attacks are the best way to go. Werewolves are the faster options, vampires the killier, and their big nasty will keep their foes in place so they can get their licks in.

	A skirmish-level wargame produced by [[Cool Mini Or Not]]. Notable for having somewhat unique concepts in its models, a story without any real antagonists other than a few dicks who are balanced out by idealists and a fuckload of redshirts just doing their jobs, and a system based on more character abilities and morale rather than ~~mostly~~ stats and causalities.

	The game is fairly cheap to get into compared to most. The rules and stat cards ~~are~~ free downloads on their ~~websiteas is~~ their lore novel, with only the starter box required to play. There are very few extras to buy too, with most factions having three at the moment. All extras are notably just for force customization rather than getting what is required to play a full game.		The game was fairly cheap to get into compared to most. The rules and stat cards were free downloads on their website like most other small skirmish games, as was their lore novel, with only the starter box required to play. There are very few extras to buy too, with most factions having three at the moment. All extras are notably just for force customization rather than getting what is required to play a full game.

	All in all, only $76 is required to get into each faction (although it is notably easy to obtain starter sets from $40 up through other distributors~~; at the moment of this writing, Miniature Market has $52 starter sets~~). Starter sets come with 30 miniatures barring House Hadross which has 24, with said miniatures being made of [[Games Workshop\|Warhammer]] grade plastic.		All in all, only $76 was required to get into each faction (although for most of the lifespan of the game it was notably easy to obtain starter sets from $40 up through other distributors). Starter sets come with 30 miniatures barring House Hadross which has 24, with said miniatures being made of [[Games Workshop\|Warhammer]] grade plastic. A cheaper two-player starter set featuring most of the Nasier and Goritsi starter minis came out later called Battle Of Ravenwood.

			Despite the dropping prices however, the game was silently discontinued around mid-2019. Minis from the game were snatched up over time for use in other games, with the exception being the things more unique to the setting (meaning most of House Teknes).

	Nasier troops are individually very powerful, second only to Hadross, and have a high morale as well as many offensive abilities. Despite this they are not a "run in, don't think" army as their lack of control or synergy abilities makes players need to evaluate their targets; obliterate a specific foe, or bait the enemy into a desperate gamble counterattack?

			Nasier is actually an Arabic name meaning "protector", and many have noted the possible Persian or Sikh influences in their design.

The kingdom of Hadross is named after the ruling house, and although they control land the population mostly lies under the waves in multi-level buildings that resemble giant blue sea plants stretching from the ocean floor to their top levels above the water surface.

	The scion king gave his people over to ancient gods known as the Deep Voices, which turned them into human/aquatic creature hybrids. Hadrossians can live above the water but it is uncomfortable and thus not desirable. Most Hadross have jellyfish style legs and tentacle hair or mouths, although crustacean and shark men are also present and other varieties may exist as well. Most have normal human arms and hands. It isn't quite clear on each Hadrossian which parts are of their body, and which are clothing.

Hadrossians can live above the water but it is uncomfortable and thus not desirable. Most Hadross are Servidians, which are humans (who still give birth to regular humans that later mutate, meaning they still have normal sexual characteristics as /tg/ reasoned) who have jellyfish style legs and tentacle hair or mouths, although crustacean and shark men are also present and other varieties may exist as well. Most have normal human arms and hands. It isn't quite clear on each Hadrossian which parts are of their body, and which are clothing.

	Hadross is a highly defensive army, with the strongest base models although each casualty weakens the group. They entirely ignore water terrain difficulty and can actually add more to the battlefield to control the movements of their enemy.

			* Ooroth is their "main character", featured the most in the Hadross lore. He has also become the primary popular character and posterboy of Wrath of Kings on /tg/. Ooroth is the closest living being to the Deep Voices, although he hides it from his fellows so he doesn't get forced into the priest-class. He enjoys his status as a mere bodyguard to the Hadross diplomat above the waves despite the discomfort to his skin. The Servidian has a fondness for the women of other nations, and is often rebuked by their extremely racist reactions leading him to rebuild his confidence in a bar.
