apjjeafs to you, then read on a n d discover how to escape th a t dungeon...
In the beginning...

The interior o f the galleys on board the Black Ark
were humid and stank. Fully two thousand
Human, D w arf and E lf souls laboured over foul,
menial tasks, stripped to the waist and perspiring
freely in the cramped and unhygenic confines.
They were arranged on three levels, cooking
cleaning bilges and other jobs vital to the running
o f the sinister stone vessel, kept afloat by the will
o f a powerful dark mage. There was not a single
slave on board, who toiled in those halls, who did
not realise the import o f what they were doing.
They were part o f a Dark E lf war fleet, led by the
-■immeasurably w icked Prince Mordrin Kain,
coursing towards Erengrad with every intention o f
sacking that great city port. From there, the Dark
Elves would have unchallenged access to the
north o f the Old World, and could sweep
southwards towards the Empire itself. Though
they wept fo r the fa te o f their countrymen and
abhorred the tasks they performed, they still bent
their backs to it. Drachnas, the overseer, saw to
that. Plying the lash with casual brutality, any
back not straining at the oar soon became a
patchwork o f bloodied weals. Better to bide one’s
time working and waiting fo r an escape, than die
in ignominy as a galley slave.
Uff, a hulking Norseman, eyed Drachnas with
| cold fu ry as once again he belaboured the
shoulders o f Ernst, a wizard and erstwhile
travelling companion o f Uff. Ernst looked grey
and sickly, and U ff knew the mage couldn’t last
much longer in these ghastly conditions. The
ultimate cruelty was that Ernst had within him the
power to heal himself, but was prevented from
doing so by the black gem literally burned into his
chest by their Dark E lf captors. Fearing his
th e ir s w o rd a rm o r th e p o w e r of th e ir spells.
T h e ir a m b itio n s are to m ake th e ir fo rtu n e s
b y lib e ra tin g fa n ta s tic tre a s u re h o rd e s from
th e und e s e rv in g c lu tc h e s o f all m a n n e r of
vile, s u b te rra n e a n nastie s. W h a t c ould be
s im p le r? M ake a sta c k o f cash, and rid the
w o rld o f evil in to th e bargain. Being n e w to
magic, which had reduced several o f their ambush
party to ashes before they were captured, the
corsairs had burned the shard o f obsidian into him
to shackle his powers ju st as they had shackled his
limbs. U ff knew that i f they were ever all going to
get out o f this hellhole alive, then he had better act
soon. He knew that behind them somewhere,
equally miserable, were Corwen his Wood E lf 1
friend, and Dwimril Silverlode the indomitable
Dwarf. In the week, “Had it really only been t
week? ”, he wondered, since their capture, he had
chafed the ends o f his strong fingers raw working
at the shackles, and he reckoned they were just
about loose enough now fo r one great burst o f
strength to tear them free. Feigning exhaustion, he ■
slumped to the floor.
“You there, slave, work!”, bellowed Drachnas at
him, his words thick and malicious with the
sibilant accent o f the Dark Tongue.
Drachnas stormed down the hall and unleashed a .
vicious crack across U ff’s back with the whip. It
was ju st the jo lt the Norseman needed. With a
howl o f fury, he yanked the chains from the deck,
twisted them around his tormentor’s throat and

a fe w s e le ct individuals, th e Lords of
A e narion w h o can tra ce th e ir lineag e to
th e firs t P h oenix K ing him self.
U nlike hum an and D w arf Lords, the
L ords o f A e na rio n lay no cla im to a
p articular te rrito ry o r title. T h e y do not
need to argue th e ir rank w ith each other
and th e ir station in th e hiera rchy of the
Elves is show n by th e ir d e m e a n o u r and
a p p earance. T h e y are the fa ire st Elves in
the O ld W orld and are o f such n ob ility of
blood th a t there is a palpable aura of
greatness th a t su rro unds them . T he
Lords o f A e narion are divided in purpose.
S o m e w ish to cla im back w h a t is theirs
from th e Dw arfs, seeking o u t ancient
Elven trea sure s th a t have been leant to
th e D w arfs fo r safe keeping and lost or

Ulthuan. O thers are m ore m ilita n t and
w ish to return to U lthuan and one of their
nu m b e r ta ke his rightful place as the
P h oenix King o f th e Elves. T h e High
Elves o f U lthuan are ve ry w a ry o f the
Lords o f A e narion, and tre a t them w ith
th e utm o st respect, though th e y are
never h ap py if one of th e Lords decides
to leave th e O ld W orld to visit Ulthuan.
T h e sym p a th ie s in U lthuan are divided,
som e believing th a t the tim e o f Ae narion
has passed and so th e A sce n d a n cy of
o ther hou ses is tru e and proper. O thers
feel fo r th e D ispossesse d, having lost
m uch th e m se lve s ove r th e m illennia.
W hat neith er side w ishes fo r is a no ther
S undering, w ith th e Lords of A enarion
figh tin g aga in st th e Elves of U lthuan fo r
rightful reign. T h a t w o uld be a killing blow
to th e Elves as a race and w o uld spell
th e end o f th e ir tim e in this w orld.
As d e sce ndants of A e narion th e y are
also know n as th e T hia kh a in e , m eaning
‘C u rsed o f K h aine’. S o m e o f them are
posse ssed by part o f K h a in e ’s spirit, that
w a s unleashed w h en A e narion w ielded
th e S w ord o f Khaine. T h e y are know n by
th e o th e r races o f th e w orld as R e venant
Knights. A R e venant is one w h o returns
from a long abse nce and is usually
app lie d to spectres, W igh ts and sim ila r
34
creature s of a m agical nature th a t have
risen from th e grave. To D w arfs and

indeed m ystical, th e y m ove with

o v ercom es them and th e y deal righteous
v e ng eance upon the d esp oilers o f the

T h e Lords o f A e na rio n desp ise all evil
and C h aotic creature s and take every

Lords of A e narion som e tim e s trave l far
abroad to A lbion, the S outhlands, A raby

follow ers. T h e y are th e ban e o f th e Dark
Elves and th e ir hatred fo r them is
unp ara lle led by any o th e r e nm ity in the

T h e Lords o f A e narion do not c a rry the

suffers th e se pen alties w h ile th e y are in

choice in each sub se q u e n t P o w er phase.
If a M onsters app e a r w h ile th e Lord of

he m ay no t d ra w an y new coun ters until
he starts a turn w ith no blue coun ters
next to his W arrior card.
Exam ple. T h e Lord o f A e n a rio n has
a lrea dy draw n th e +1 Toughness and
+1 To hit coun ters, and draw s his
co u n te r fo r th e th ird turn, picking out
th e S kull counter. H e resolve s his

ROLEPLAYING THE LORD
OF AENARION
It m ay seem at firs t th a t th e re is little
dep th to th e Lord o f A e narion, he’s
s im ply a w ell honed killing m achine.
H ow ever, a Lord of A e narion d oe s have
cha ra cte r tra its th a t show th ro u g h during
his m ore lucid m om e nts. T h e m ost
ob vio u s aspe ct of a Lord o f A e narion's
p ersona lity is his to ta l arro g a n ce and
disreg ard of o ther creature s. T h e m ost
telling point is th e Lord of A e n a rio n ’s total
hatred o f Chaos, in herited from Aenerion.
H is ancestry, lineag e and tra d itio n s are
s o set in stone th a t th e Lord o f Ae narion
does not com prehend an y le e w a y or
flexing o f his principle s and values.
W hen not in com bat th e Lord o f A e narion
sees th e w o rld o nly in pale sh a d e s of
g rey (m e ta p h o rica lly spea king) and little
in terests him o r ca n stir him from his
a lm o st tra n ce -like state.
In tim es o f battle, on th e o th e r hand, the
Lord o f A e narion fe e ls m ore alive and in
44
tune w ith th e w o rld than an y o ther living
being. T he adrena l su rg e thro ugh his
body tu rn s him into a fa n ta s tic fighter,
w ho know s n e ith e r m ercy nor
com passion.
All o f this w ill also dep end on how fa r
dow n the Path o f K h aine o r A su ryan the
Lord o f Ae narion is. T h e fu rth e r tow ards
K haine he is pulled, th e m ore horrendous
th e atro citie s he m ay perform w h en he
loses control o f him self. T h e greater the
in fluence of A su ryan , th e m ore th e Lord
o f A e na rio n can m aintain control, and
durin g the m ore peaceful tim es he m ay
w e ep at his p redicam e nt and fe e l sorro w
fo r th o s e hew n dow n w h ile th e battle
tra n c e has ta k e n him . H o w ever he does
not reserve this regret fo r O res, D ark
Elves, C h aos w o rs h ip p e rs or oth e rs w ho
d elibe rately opp osed him - o nly those
w h o w ere (in his eyes a t least) in nocent
by s tanders ge t such pity.
T h e Lord o f A e n a rio n 's edu cation is
clo sely linked w ith his heritage and m any
have led perfectly norm al lives before the
C u rse o f K h aine asserted itself. T his
backg rou nd gives them a great store of
know led ge c o nce rning ancie n t trea sure s
(especially lost arte facts o f U lthuan) and
a dee p und erstanding o f w id e ly extinct
languages.
T h e Lord o f A e na rio n w h o is recovering
from his b attle-trance is likely to be
w ith dra w n and una w are o f th e world.
D uring this sta te he is v e ry vuln e ra b le to
traps, am bushe s and o th e r surprises.
T h is is m ostly represented by th e battle
tra n c e co u n te rs provided, b u t negative
m odifie rs s h ou ld be app lie d to

T h e Lord of A e narion excels at com bat,
and c o m b a t related skills and tests. Not
o nly is he in prim e physical c ond ition, his
pow ers o f e nd ura nce and determ ination
give him g re a t reserves th a t a llo w him to
go on w h en others w o uld retreat and
give up. A b ove all else, th e Lord of
A e na rio n is a tortured soul, and a m yriad
of fac to rs in fluence his behaviour, m ost
o f th e m beyond the c o m p rehension of
th e W arriors w h o a c com pan y him.
