Scrollhammer: Imperial Legion

Work in progress by Duke and Lolpwnt. Rules listed as such are not final and subject to change. Expect quite a few of said changes to be done before it is completed.

Feel free to yell ideas or complaints under the Talk page.

Also, shameless copy and pasting of some things from the other army books. Come at me.

Introduction

The Imperial Legion, sometimes called the Imperial Army, is the land-bound component of the armed forces ruled by the Empire of Tamriel. The army has forces deployed under every auspice within the continent, who then operate with the authority of the Emperor himself. Their numbers are vast, their training impeccable, rigidly disciplined and flexible in use. It is easily considered one of the most powerful fighting forces ever assembled.

During peacetime the Legion primarily serves as a garrison force- manning forts, patrolling roads, and providing guardsmen for towns or cities. In wartime the Legion's power and responsibilities are greatly increased- and it is during this time that they serve as an invading and occupying force, overwhelming opponents with numerical superiority and efficient combat.

The primary mission of the Imperial Legion is to preserve the peace and rule of law in the Empire.

General Rules

The Imperial Legion is a well-trained and veteran force, their resolve nearly unbreakable. As such many of their units have the following rules-

Emperor's Strategy: An Imperial Legion army wins ties on roll to go first, chooses scenario rolling 6 to go first, and steals initiative on 5+.

Legionnaire Drilling: Almost all Imperial Soldiers are heavily trained and gruelingly drilled. Even in the most desperate situations the troops are able to keep their cool and continue striving for victory. Units with this special rule may always rally despite their number of losses. Imperial Legion musicians, rather then allowing their unit to always rally, instead allow them to shoot or sprint the turn they re-form in the movement phase.

Emperor of Tamriel: For every 200 points that an Emperor costs, they may take a 0-5 retinue of Blades. The Emperor also holds the absolute loyalty and faith of his peers- as such any unit that they join become fearless, as do all units within 24".

Only one unit with the 'Emperor of Tamriel' special rule may be taken.

Army List

Imperial Legion

An Imperial Legion army uses the following list:

Heroes: Imperial Legion Captain, Decanus Magus

Core: Legionnaires, Milites, Imperial Militia, Crossbowmen, Dragoons.

Elite: Battle Magi, Nobles, Guild Forces, Imperial Knights, Orc Auxiliaries.

Support: Spellcasters, Bosmer Auxiliary, Light Cavalry, Onager, Ballistae

Heroes

Captain

Few men and women ever given the honor to lead the Imperial Legion into battle. Those that do are often members of the royal bloodline, rich and powerful noble folk, and less commonly some uplifted common citizen who has shown their merit over decades of battle. Regardless, the commanders and captains embody all that the Legion holds dear- discipline, power, nobleness. Naturally they have all gone through Legionnaire training earlier in their life, then also been schooled for lengthy periods of time in the use of tactics and strategy. That is not to say they are pencil pushers- Imperial leaders are each an immensely powerful warrior or mage.

Decanus Magus

While sorcerers and wizards are normally forced into battle-support roles, the Imperial Legion is all too willing to advance the rank of a proficient and ambitious warmage. The rank of Decanus, or watcher over ten squads, is often giving to particularly established and intelligent mages from their ranks. From this position the clever individual is able to lead a decent sized force into war for the glory of the Imperial Legion.

Core

Legionnaires

Imperial Legionnaires make up the bulk of the Imperial Legion. Compared to many other armies the average Legionnaire is heavily armed, rugged, and rigidly disciplined. Recruiting standards are incredibly high- only candidates at the utmost peak of physical fitness are even considered. What trustworthiness and virtue that does not already exist in the recruits are beaten into them over lengthy and tortuous drills. The combination of rigid discipline, effective organization, and cost-effective arming make the Legionnaires especially potent. Every member is clad in thick and well fitting skirted plate armor. Laden up with sword, shield, and spear. In formation, shields locked together, the mainstay warriors of the Empire are a fearsome sight to behold.

9 pts per model. Core. Fight in Ranks, Infantry, Imperial. 10-40 models per unit.

Legionnaire WS4 BS3 S3 T3 W1 I3 A1 Ld8 Mg1 Sv4+

Special Rules: Legionnaire Drilling

Foreign Regiment: The race of the unit may be changed to Nord, costing +1 pt per model. It may be a mix of Imperial and Nord.

Bows +2 pt per model

Upgrade all weapons to silver +1 pts per model

The Centurion may replace his or her armor with Ebony Armor for +6 pts.

The Centurion may take up to 10 pts of magic items where appropriate from the armory.

Milites

After years of service within the legion and demonstrating their worth a Legionnaire might be promoted to the rank of Milite. These units normally have one particular role that they perform during the battle, normally supportive in nature. Different Milite units focus on entirely different subjects- some perform as woodsmen, others field surgeons. Especially trained Militae are even able to act as combat engineers, assisting the attack of fortifications and backing up siege weapon crews as needed. That the Imperial Army has such an abundance of elite trained soldiers only bespeaks its strength.

12 pts per model. Core. Skirmish, Infantry, Imperial. 10-20 models per unit.

Militae WS4 BS4 S3 T3 W1 I3 A1 Ld9 Mg1 Sv-

Special Rules: Legionnaire Drilling

Foreign Regiment: The race of the unit may be changed to Nord, costing +1 pt per model. It may be a mix of Imperial and Nord.

Specialists: Each unit is composed of one of three troop types, representing the different roles that might be required of them on the battle. Depending on the role chosen the Militae unit is differently armed, and gains special rules-

Woodsmen: Leather armor (6+ save), hand weapon, bows, javelins. Have the Move Through Cover and Fleet of Foot special rule.

Field Surgeons: Plate armor (5+ save), hand weapons. Mg+3, each Militae has the following spells: Mara’s Embrace, Cure Poison.

Combat Engineers: Plate armor (5+ save), hand weapon, bows. Have the Siege-Weapon Training special rule.

Siege-Weapon Training: If the unit has not moved, you may roll 2d6 against Leadership. On a success, you may remove X amount of men from the unit, then restore X amount of crewmen to a siege weapon within 4”. Treat these crewmen in every way like the crewmen that come with the target siege weapon.

The entire unit may:

Upgrade one model to a Centurion (+1 A) for +8 pts

Upgrade one model to Standard Bearer(+1 to combat resolution) for +8 pts

Upgrade one model to Musician(can shoot/sprint after reforming) for +8 pts

Upgrade all weapons to silver +1 pts per model

The Centurion may replace his or her armor with Glass Armor for +4 pts, or Ebony Armor for +10 points.

The Centurion may take up to 20 pts of magic items where appropriate from the armory.

Imperial Militia

Most Imperial Citizens maintain at least small amounts of Militiamen. All of these men and women have volunteered to safeguard their homes, frequently performing guard duty. Occasionally when war marches upon Cyrodil they march right back upon it, joining up with the more elite Imperial Legion. This only further bolsters the number of fighting men and women. While not nearly as trained as the Legionnaires, or well armed by any definition, the sheer amount and tenacity of these fighters can overwhelm unprepared opponents. Militiamen often are the unsung heroes of war; not fighting for coin or honor but for the defense of what they hold dear.

5 pts per model. Core. Fight in Ranks, Infantry, Imperial. 10-40 models per unit.

Militia WS2 BS2 S3 T3 W1 I3 A1 Ld6 Mg1 Sv5+

Special Rules:

Foreign Regiment: The race of the unit may be changed to Nord, costing +1 pt per model. It may be a mix of Imperial and Nord.

Wargear:

Bows +1 pt per model

Short Bows +1 pt per model

Halberds +1 pt per model

The entire unit may replace their Leather Armor with:

Chitin Armor (free)

Chain Mail (5+) for +2 pts per model

Crossbowmen

The Imperial Legion makes great use of technology and is generally much more accepting of it then comparable armies. In particular the force favors the ranged weapon of the Crossbow. While the armor-penetrating weapon is deadly by itself, when armed en masse by trained Legionnaires it becomes entirely overwhelming. Volley after volley of armor-penetrating bolts can be fired from the formation, the men and women within grimly determined and unshakable.

10 pts per model. Core. Fight in Ranks, Infantry, Imperial. 10-20 models per unit.

Crossbowman WS3 BS4 S3 T3 W1 I3 A1 Ld8 Mg1 Sv5+

Special Rules: Battle-Tactics

The entire unit may replace Crossbows with:

Bows (free)

The Centurion may replace his or her armor with Full Plate Armor for +4 pts.

The Centurion may take up to 10 pts of magic items where appropriate from the armory.

Dragoons

Dragoons are heavily armored cavalry, organized in companies much like non-mounted infantry. As a whole they are more experienced and battle hardened Legionnaires, those that have some experience with fighting on horseback. While not at war, these cavalry perform as internal security, patrolling against smugglers, trouble-doers, and monsters on the roads between cities. Many an adventurer has been assisted by such a patrolling one. In combat they are a sight to behold- clad in dark, adamantine looking armor, only slightly catching rays off the sun. Nearly no infantry in Tamriel can survive the charge of a full unit of Imperial Dragoons.

19 pts per model. Elite. Skirmish, Cavalry, Imperial. 5-15 models per unit. May only be joined by Independent Characters who are also riding Horses.

Dragoon WS4 BS4 S3 T3(4) W1 I3 A1(2) Ld8 Mg1 Sv3+

The Centurion may replace his or her armor with Ebony Armor for +6 pts.

The Centurion may take up to 30 pts of magic items where appropriate from the armory.

Elite

Battle Magi

Within the Imperial Legion it is entirely common to find large units of trained Battle Magi, or combat sorcerers. The Legion takes in the best of the best, so it is not uncommon for them to find those with high magical talents. These candidates are then run through the standard Legionnaire training and then some. While the resulting unit is not as potent as other more dedicated units, such as spellswords or sorcerers, Battle Magi are surprisingly resilient and deadly in their own right.

14 pts per model. Elite. Skirmish, Infantry. Battle Magi may be any of the 10 common races of Tamriel. 10-20 models per unit.

Magi WS4 BS4 S3 T3 W1 I3 A1 Ld8 Mg4(3) Sv4+

Special Rules: Legionnaire Drilling.

Foreign Regiment: The race of the unit may be changed to Altmer or Bosmer, costing +1 pt per model. It may be a mix of Imperial and these races.

Maser Tacticians: The most skilled warriors of the Imperial Legion are known for rapidly performing new and wild tactics, in addition to their sometimes frightening enthusiasm for battle. A unit of Battle Magi and Special Character attached to it may perform a Stand and Fire manuever with spells, then use their hand weapons and shields in the upcoming melee.

Wargear:

Hand Weapon, Shield, Plate armor.

Spells:

Flames, Drain Strength, Fireball

A unit of Battle Magi may:

Upgrade one model to a Centurion(+1 A, +1 LD) for +10 pts

Upgrade one model to Standard Bearer(+1 to combat resolution) for +8 pts

Upgrade one model to Musician(can shoot/sprint after reforming) for +8 pts

The entire unit may replace their shields with:

Glass +3 pts per weapon per model(or +6 pts for all weapons)

Ebony Armor +6 pts

The Centurion may take an additional appropriate Destruction, Bound Item, Illusion or Alteration spell(mana cost 2 or less) from the armory for +5 pts.

Nobles

It is not entirely infrequent for rich or noble folk to take up arms within the Imperial Legion. Some may seek fame, political power, or perhaps just wish to serve their duty within for the great nation of the Empire. The end result is the same- the respective men and women are tested for physical fitness, determined whether or not they are capable to join the Legion. Those that are receive the normal training, but normally are able to arm themselves with their own personal weapons, normally Ebony or enchanted. Noble Legionnaires fight much like their more mundane brethren, but are much better equip, and thus more potent.

13 pts per model. Elite. Fight in Ranks, Infantry, Imperial. 10-20 models per unit.

Noble WS4 BS3 S3 T3 W1 I4 A1 Ld8 Mg2(1) Sv3+

Special Rules: Legionnaire Drilling, Stubborn.

Spears (Silver) +1 pt per model

Weapon of Flames/Sparks/Frost +6 pts per model.

Upgrade all weapons to Ebony for +6 pts per model.

The Centurion may take up to 25 pts of magic items where appropriate from the armory.

Guild Forces

While not at all a part of the Legion, at times the army might hire along a small cohort of men from the Fighters Guild. This act is quite often looked down upon by other commanders- after all, what reason is there to dilute the Legion with common rabble and brawlers? Unscrupulous (or pragmatic) commanders often ignore such prejudices, treating the guild like any other number of common auxiliary. The Guild fighters also perform decently in combat- charging forward in an often unorganized rabble that none-the-less strikes hard, felling enemies and receiving blows in almost equal measure. They may not fight prettily but they often get the job done.

Elite. Skirmish, Infantry. Fighters may be any of the 10 common races of Tamriel. 5-20 models per unit. The unit must contain at least three types of unit, and and no single type of unit may make up more than two-thirds of the whole squad.

Skirmisher WS3 BS3 S3 T3 W2 I4 A1 Ld7 Mg1 Sv6+, 13 pts

Breaker WS3 BS2 S4 T3 W2 I3 A2 Ld7 Mg1 Sv5+, 13 pts

Crusader WS3 BS3 S3 T3 W2 I3 A1 Ld7 Mg2 Sv4+, 18 pts

Monk WS4 BS- S3 T4 W2 I4 A2 Ld7 Mg2 Sv6++, 13 pts

Special Rules:

Specialists: Each unit may be composed of any combination of the four types of fighter, representing the different specialties of the freelance adventurers that have joined the local Fighters Guild. Each fighter has different choices of weapons and talents, as described below.

Skirmisher: Armed with Hand Weapon, Leather Armor, Short Bow OR Pair of Javelins. Both Hand Weapon and ranged weapon may be removed for a pair of hand-crossbows.

Skirmisher: Upgrade armor to Glass Armor for +4 pts OR Upgrade one weapon to Glass for +3 pts.

Breaker: Upgrade armor to Glass Armor for +3 pts OR Upgrade one weapon to Glass for +3 pts OR upgrade one weapon to Ebony for +4 pts.

Crusader: Upgrade armor to Full Plate armor for +3 pts OR purchase an additional Restoration spell from the list worth 2 or less.

Monk: Increase the ward save to 5+ for +3 pts.

Imperial Knights

Imperial Knights are a somewhat rare knightly order of Tamriel. Though they are technically not a part of the Imperial Legion, and enjoy independence from it, the group is able to be called into battle on the Legions behalf. Normally the blessed knights are only called into battle when the need is dire, such as during the Oblivion Crisis, or one of many revolts. It goes without saying that Imperial Knights are a cut above nearly all cavalry. Each knight maintains their own personal arms and armor, most of which is nearly silver in color. Long capes and billowing decorations flutter off the men and their mounts, more often then not embroidered detailing past deeds and exploits. To their allies the sight of the Imperial Knights are rallying and joyful, to their enemies a sight to despair.

28 pts per model. Elite. Fight in Ranks, Cavalry, Imperial. 5-12 models per unit. May only be joined by Independent Characters who are also riding Horses.

The Lord may take up to 40 pts of magic items where appropriate from the armory.

Orc Auxiliaries

While once treated as monsters, and brutes to be killed on sight, Orcs have a distinguished history serving the Empire. Once allowed to enlist, it soon became apparent to all the Legion that the beast-like men were exceptionally hardy and skilled. Naturally strong warriors, and smiths, they fit best into the role of heavy front-line infantry. To this day, male and female Orc alike are honored members of the legion. Wielding great weapons, their tempers honed like a weapon from the Legionnare training, the Auxiliaries throw themselves headlong at weak infantry formations with joy. Truly there is no greater sport then war- and in the Legion they get paid well for it.

15 pts per model. Elite. Fight in Ranks, Infantry, Orc. 10-20 models per unit.

Support

Spellcasters

Most of the magic-oriented units of the Imperial Legion fall under one of two categories- sorcerers or priests. The former are normally sorcerers or mages who had signed into service of the Imperial Legion. These men and women are then hurried through the standard Legionnaire training. By the time they finish, the already strong spell casters are infused with a strong grasp of tactics and unit dynamics, something arguably lacking in many of the magical sorts. The other type of spell casters are those of the Imperial Cult- missionaries who preach and inspire faith in the Nine Divines, and also the veneration of the god-hero Tiber Septim. While the laymen and women normally provide worship and services in quiet, peaceful shrines, the militant crusaders among them are entirely willing to take up arms and fight beside their Legionnaire brethren.

12 pts per model. Support. Fight in Ranks, Infantry, Imperial. 10-20 models per unit.

Sorcerer WS3 BS3 S3 T3 W1 I3 A1 Ld8 Mg4(5) Sv-

Priest WS3 BS3 S3 T3 W1 I3 A1(2) Ld8 Mg4 Sv 6++

Upgrade one model to Musician(can always rally) for +5 pts

The Veteran may take up to 10 pts of magic items where appropriate from the armory.

The Champion may take an additional appropriate spell (mana cost 3 or less) from the armory for +5 pts.

Bosmer Auxiliary

What few shortcomings the Imperial Legion has are often patched over with the neat use of Auxiliary troops. Of particular mention are the Bosmer bowmen from Valenwood. Since a young age native Bosmer are trained in the use of the longbow. Their keen eyes, and racial knackness for using the weapon are entirely unmatched. Frequently the Imperial Legion hires on a group of such men and women when they lack ranged firepower, or are moving into thickly wooded areas. It is in that terrain where the mercenaries perform exceptionally.

9 pts per model. Core. Skirmish, Infantry, Bosmer. 5-20 models per unit.

Bosmer Auxiliary WS3 BS5 S3 T3 W1 I4 A1 Ld7 Mg2 Sv6+

Special Rules: Move Through Cover.

The Pathfinder may be given Glass Armor for +3 pts

The Pathfinder may upgrade all his weapons to Glass for +6 pts

The Pathfinder may be given up to 10 pts of magic items where appropriate from the armory.

Light Cavalry

The Imperial Legion has a fondness for horse cavalry, well acquainted with their uses and tactical advantages. Rather then being solely intended for combat (Such as the Dragoons), Light Cavalry fulfill a large number of equally important tasks- reconnaissance, raiding, screening, and most often communications. During battle the cavalry are still able to be a thorn in the enemy commanders side, quickly galloping about the battlefield, striking where lines are weakest, pummeling the enemy with ranged weapons before letting loose with a deadly charge.

13 pts per model. Support. Skirmish, Fast Cavalry, Imperial. 5 to 20 models per unit. May only be joined by Independent Characters who are also riding Horses.

Onager

The onager is an Imperial Legion siege engine, a catapult, that uses torsional force to fling like rocks at the enemy. When fired the arm spins around and slams into the padded bed, causing the whole device to flinch and shake. It is from this motion that the onager draws its name. In combat, the weapon is used to batter infantry with showers of rock, or fling especially large ones at enemy fortifications to batter them down.

90 pts per artillery. Support. Skirmish, Artillery, Imperial. 1 to 3 artillery per unit.

Special Characters

The Blades

Blades are the hidden agents of the Emperor, those that perform the function of his eyes, hands, and ears. Before becoming extinct in the late fourth era, the blades were an honored class, one that often could be seen in public. Many served as diplomats or in courts. While out in the field, the Blades were excellent in the acts of espionage and disguise, often passing themselves off as commoners or beggars. They trace their routes back to the original Akavir Dragonguard, who first came to Tamriel to exterminante the monsters. The men and women ended up being defeated by the Dragonborn Reman, and swore fealty to the man, becoming his personal bodyguard. As the ages passed their numbers swelled, and they continued to protect the successive Dragonborn Emperors, with their lives when needed. Masters of both deception and combat, the Blades are some of the most capable warriors in Tamriel. Clever and strong alike, they have had a crucial role in many of histories most notable events, such as personally discovering the Nerevarine reborn and helping end the Oblivion Crisis.

Tiber Septim, God-Emperor

General Talos, Hjalti Early-Beard, the Great Dragonborn, Ysmir

For a man that ascended to the rank of divinity, it is hardly surprising that most of Tiber Septims life is shrouded in mystery and debate. What is known and agreed upon him is that Septim had once been a man, albeit a gifted and troubled one. His tale is such-

At a young age Tiber Septim found himself in the frozen lands of Skyrim, drawn to the High Peak of the Greybeards. It was there that they recognized his Dragon blood. For many a year he journied between various chieftains and the Greybeards, learning all he could about both the power of the Thuum, and also the careful application of war. It was here, in Skyrim, that he lay the foundations for his upcoming conquests of Tamriel. At the age of twenty, already an accomplished shouter and tactician, he led the invasion of Old Hrol'dan- taking the place back from the Witchmen of High Rock. Now with both Colovia and Skyrim at his command, the Greybeards soon began gathering great storms to their peak, letting all know that something important must be spoken to the world. They removed their gags and spoke Tiber Septims name, causing the very foundations of the World to shake. They then told him that to rule Tamriel, and save the world from the Elves, he must first look to the South.

His forces marched upon Cyrodil in the coldest breath of winter, using their natural affinity for winter to their advantage. For a while their armies were stalled by the citadel of Sancre Tor. There Tiber received a vision, one that revealed to him the hidden artifact called the Amulet of Kings. Leaving behind a small detachment to keep on the siege, the rest of his forces set out in search for the particular item. By the time he had returned the siege had turned out of his favor, the two armies becoming embroiled in combat, heavy casualties on each side. With his personal handful of men, Tiber Septim entered the citadel, confronting the enemy lords and nobles. Here he gave them his ultimatum- swear fealty to him or die. The vast majority of them agred, and it was then that he demonstrated his Thuum to the Cyrodilic Army, demonstrating his power of the voice, Dragonblood, and mantle of Talos.

Working his way into Cyrodil, Talos-Septim began rallying many of the diseperate groups of Imperials to his side. The King of Falkreath, in Western Cyrodil, adopted Talos as his general. Together the two of them united that nation within a year. At the end of it all, Cuhlecain sought to crown himself emperor. Dissatisfied with this, Talos saw to it that the king be assassinated. To cover the evidence he ended up burning the capital, and some say even slit his own throat to try to hide the blame.

With the cosmopolitan of Cyrodil under his belt, and Skyrim and West Rock alike, the rest of his conquests over dispparate states was somewhat straight-forward. His forces became especially dug into Morrowind eventually, when the Emperor wished for control over Vvardenfell's ebony supplies. His long-time ally (and arguably a different aspect of Talos) Ysmir had also stressed that he might be able to take the Tribunals power. Septim and the Tribunal made a deal called the Armistice, one that would submit them to this new Empire, but allow them to keep their beliefs. An ancient enemy of Morrowind, Ysmir soon left Talos's side out of disgust.

After invading the Elven lands, Tiber led a long and prosperous life as the Emperor of Tamriel. A number of attempted coups were made against him, but all failed. On his deathbed Tiber named Pelagius, his grandson as his heir, and ascended to godhood.

So ends the tale of Septim, Shezzarine, Hjalti Early-Beard, Ysmir, the warrior imbued with the power of Shor, he who embodies the myth of the great king who founds empires. Almost single handedly he had turned the pantheon of the Eight Divines to the Nine Divines, and united all of Tamriel, eternally earning a place in history.

Martin Septim

At the turning of the Fourth Age, Emperor Uriel Septim VII was assassinated by the Mythic Dawn, who were part of a conspiracy to summon Mehrunes Dagon and lay waste to Tamriel. While all the Emperor's known heirs had been killed one unknown son had survived- Martin Septim. The illegitimate son of Uriel Septim VII, he was cast out at a young age. As an act of kindness the Grand Master of the Blades Jauffre agreed to whisk him away to safety.

Little is know about Martin's early life, save that he used to worship Sanguine and indulge in hedonism. Later in his years he ended up joining the Imperial Cult to atone for a horrid tragedy. During the late parts of the Oblivion Crisis, Martin contributed greatly to defeating Mehrunes Dagon. A kind and good natured soul, his past experience in Daedra Worship made him exceptionally useful in combating the fiends during the crisis. Not only was he able to translate the Mysterium Xarxes, and still later assist his men fight Daedra, imparting upon them the knowledge of their weaknesses and strengths. He fell in the Battle for the Imperial City- it was there he transformed into the Avatar of Akatosh, engaged the Daedra Prince in personal combat, and banished Mehrunes Dagon from the material plane.

Many of the Imperials view Martin with great reverence, nearing that of Tiber Septim himself. The hardened statue of the Avatar of Akatosh, which was once Martin, can still be seen in the Temple of the One. There it remains crouched in a ferocious pose, looking much as it did when it struck down the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon.

Saint Alessia

Slave-queen, the First Empress of Man, Bringer of the Nine

Long ago, during the first Era, mankind as a whole suffered greatly under the control of the Ayleids. The Nedes (or ancient ancestors of both Cyrodil and Nord) were forced into slavery by the elves, those arriving from far off-lands to the Nibenay Bay quickly being forced into population centers. Man served as beasts of burden, and playthings, festering beneath their masters. It was a rare and pleasant occurrence that they might be treated more then animals, the vast majority of them not even holding a name.

While much of her early life is unknown, it is in this environment that Saint Allesia grew up. A compassionate soul, and kind heart of the truest kind, the young woman found hope in helping her fellow Nedes. This is how she spent her time, up until finding a beacon of hope. In the second century of the first Era, the Nordic King managed to force the Ayleids completely out of Skyrim, also forming the first human kingdom of Tamriel. The Cyrodil slaves looked to this great act and began wondering why they could not do the same. It is then that Alessia began praying to the Nordic Divines, hoping that these new gods might help lead her people to freedom.

This came sooner then she might have guessed. Kynareth, Nordic Kyne, sent unto her his demigod son Morihaus. Aiding and helping her as needed, Alessia soon was able to began rallying slaves under her banner. It was then that her subordinates began refering to her as the Slave-queen. It is also known that at this time some radical Ayleids had also begun growing sympathetic to the humans cause, the resulting confusion and strife further helping Alessia. As time passed the divines lent her more help, such as granting her visions, and sending her another demi-god assistant, this time the fabled Pelinal Whitestrake.

It was he who led her first army against the Ayleids in 1E, 242, and quickly devastated them, entirely crushing the elves. Almost immediately after their great victory, impressed by the Grand Crusader, the Nordic King agreed to join their forces and together launch an offense against the Ayleids.After a long and bloody battle, Pelinus, the Grand Crusader, struck down the equally divine Ayleid King. Gloating and taunting the enemy forces, they quickly chopped him into eight pieces and left them for Alessia and Morihaus. Even with the great general dead however, Alessia continued to fight the Ayleids, eventually driving them free from Cyrodil and the White Tower, ending the Ayleid reign over man. Soon after the Saint was crowned as the first Empress of Cyrodil and led a long and happy reign over her subjects.

Upon her deathbed Alessia was visited by Lorkhan, who brought with him a pact from Akatosh himself. Alessia was infused with the god's divine blood, then placed within the newly formed Amulet of Kings. The Oblivion Gates that had so long been open, spilling misery into the lands, were closed. It was then decreed that her soul would function as a seal, and so long as one of heir bloodline wore the amulet, the gates would be kept shut. Posthumously named a saint, it is said she finally joined Pelinal in the divine realms above.

The legacy Saint Alessia has left on Tamriel is awing- over the course of her life she had freed mankind from slavery, formed the first Empire of Cyrodil. Cut off Daedric access to the world. Founded the religion of the Eight Divines. Few figures in history can even begin to compare.

200 pts. Alessia can be taken as a replacement for a Captain. Independent Character, Skirmish, Infantry, Imperial. Single Model. Purchasing Saint Alessia will require that only Nordic Auxiliaries be taken- the only races that may be deployed with Alessia are Imperials or Nords.

Pelinal Whitestrake, the Grand Crusader

Back in pre-history, it is said that the semi-divine Pelinal wandered the world, fighting for man under many aliases. It is when he joined forces wihh Alessia, however, that he forever became known.

When the son of Shor, champion of Akatosh heard of Alessia, he came to her camp to pledge his loyalty. It is said that he came to her holding a mace and sword, both encrusted with smashed Elven intestines, feathers, and pearls- the markings of the Ayleids. (So he was like) Though this figure seemed raving mad, and full of fury, Alessia also saw that he was unworldly and wished to help her people.

The man soon became feared and hated by every Ayleid that walked Tamriel- rather then engage them in open combat, or lead rallied men upon them, he instead sought out each of their sorcerer-kings in turn and challenged them to personal combat. Acts such as eating their neck-veins while screaming praises to unknown gods, smashing their skulls upon altars, and bathing in their blood were entirely too common. For this reason it was said that Whitestrake "Had no heart under his armor, only the rage of a mindless dragon." This is rather accurate. When a favored hopilite slave, Huna, fell, the man went into such a rage that he began destroying Cyrodil- and it was only when Alessia begged the gods for help that he ceased.

Late towards the end of the war for freedom the Nedic forces were unnerved by the site of the White Gold tower, and the storms that raged about it. Halting to take council, and prepare for the attack, Whitestrake shouted unto them that they were all cowards, insulting each of them in turn, and set into the city by himself. There he challenged their half-daedric sorcerer king, Umaril the Unfeathered, to personal combat. It was only when Pelinal had already been wounded by many Daedra, his blood spilled for the first time, that Umaril heeded his screams to face him. The battle that raged was fearsome, and the two struck and wounded each other in equal measure. Facing the end of his life, Whitestrake managed to rip off the half-ayleid's wings and kill him.

Pelinal was struck down by the Ayleids soon after when he had begun laughing about the ugliness of Umaril's angel helmet, also heatedly and recklessly insulting the heritage of all the elves about him. They chopped the wounded Whitestrake into eight pieces, a symbolic number, and left these to later be found by Alessia. It was when his disembodied head was found that he hushedly spoke unto her that Umaril had not been slain entirely, since the sorcerer was part-daedra, and that he had failed his duty.

It is said that Whitestrake later somehow appeared at Alessia's deathbed, and then joined her in the divine realms. And while saintly orders would later fight in his name, and he was instrumental in freeing man, even later defeating Umaril Returned with the Hero of Cyrodil, Whitestrake is remembered particularly for his divine strength and madness.

350 pts. Pelinal Whitestrake may be taken as a replacement for a Captain. Independent Character, Skirmish, Infantry, Imperial. Single Model. Purchasing Pelinal Whitestrake will require that only Nordic Auxiliaries be taken- the only races that may be deployed alongside him are Imperials or Nords.

If the challenge is turned down, the challenged model may not attack or cast spells this round. Whitestrake may not challenge a non-elf special character if an elf is nearby- the Hatred special rule over-rides any challenges he might make.

Knights of the Nine Divines

The Knights of the Nine are the crusaders charged with searching, and retrieving the artifacts of the Divine Crusader, Pelinal Whitestrake. They were first founded in the second century of the Third Era, and it is when they defeated the Wyrm of Elyngleen that they began to grow in fame. There numbers had swollen, and they proceeded to retrieve a handful of more relics from the many quests. Sadly the great triumphs and deeds of the knights were fated to fall to ruin. In 3E 121 the knights became troubled during the War of the Red Diamond, the forces split and wishing to fight for their own respective sides. Many of the Knights had families with stakes in the war, such as loss of life or death, and thusly quit the order.

After the war the Knights grew more and more distant from what their order had originally intended. Where they had once been noble and mighty individuals, they now began to grow greedy and violent. Those Knights that did not rise to positions of power, or get themselves killed, were often cursed by the Nine Divines themselves, punishing them for their recklessness. Sir Amiel, the leader of the Knights, remained true to what they had said. After the Oblivion Crisis in 3E 433, with the fruits of the last knight's mission, it is said that the Hero of Kvatch had begun rallying knights to the order to go set out and destroy the returned Umaril.

The Knights themselves are a glory to behold- while at a glance they may seem somewhat mundanely armored, and hardly decorated, they carry with them an overwhelming aura of fidelity and serenity. To look upon the Knights of the Nine is to feel at peace... save when one is at the charging end of them. It is also said that each of the Knights fights with the strength of five men- and considering they carry the blessings of the gods this is hardly circumspect.

General Tullius

General Tullius was the commander of the Imperial Legion, and military governor in Skyrim, during the Skyrim civil war.

An extremely clever individual, and shrewd tactician, Tullius was one of the the most capable men of ending the war besieging Skyrim. During the dragon crisis he displayed an impressive knack for command when he had whipped the present forces into a serviceable defense, also managing to have all the townsfolk lead to safety. He even managed to capture Ulfric Stormcloak, for a time, which clearly says something about his espionage abilities.

General Tullius bears a particularly strong hatred for the Thalmor- not only for causing war and death across all of Tamriel, but also for forcing the White-Gold Concordat upon the Empire and banning the worship of Talos.
