The Lumineth Realm-lords are paragons of martial excellence, compensating for their limited numbers with

The cold-blooded Seraphon are eternal enemies of Chaos and show no mercy to those who would subvert the Great

The Sylvaneth way of war is fluid and wild: the fury of a storm rushing through a tree’s branches. Bolstered by the

with jagged wooden talons before slipping away into the sanctuary of the deep forest.
