Army of the Desert Reborn

Allad Alhazred is a Zenith caste prophet and the general of this army. Along with his circle of Solars, he has managed to raise an army consisting of refugees from the Lap and barbarian beastmen. Along with his other 3 Solars, he also has 9 Lunars, an Alchemical and 40 fae. His mortal troops number 4,000.


Allad's Tiger Warrior Martyr Squad

These warriors are the religious zealots who would do anything to have the chance to be martyred for Allad's religion (a monotheistic version of Unconquered Sun worship). They wear element-resistant black and gold armor (i.e. stillsuits, artifacts made by our resident Twilight) and go to battle wielding two swords.

Magnitude: 4 (250 men)
Hand to Hand: +4 to Attack and Parry / +2 to Damage
Armor: 3 (stillsuit, Fatigue 1)
Drill: 5
Might: 1
Valor: 4
Order: Close
Movement: ??? yards (halved for Close Order)
Initiative: Charisma + Presence +1 (9)

Leader: Allad Alhazred
Attributes:Strength 3, Dexterity 5, Stamina 3, Charisma 4, Manipulation 3, Appearance 4, Perception 2, Intelligence 2, Wits 3,
Virtues: Compassion 3, Conviction 5, Temperance 2, Valor 4
Willpower: 7
Permanent Essence: 4
Essence Pool: 62 (10 committed)
Dodge: 10 (13 ranged)
Weapons: Dual orichalchum scimitars (Spd 13, Att 17, Dmg 8, Dfs 16, +2 dmg against demons, +5 dmg with Zenith anima attack)

Tactics. Allad will activate Heroism Encouraging Presence, Steel Devil Style, Flow Like Blood, Whirlwind of Searing Blows and Golden Aura of Benison. This last is a custom medicine charm which allows him to regenerate 1 lethal/turn, and also allows allies to touch his aura and heal 1 lethal as well (with limits). It also makes demons feel sick. When fighting an army of demons, Allad will activate his 10-mote Zenith anima ability, forcing them with constant valor checks, and hit the opposing force with a flurry of attacks and counterstrikes, saving his lethal charm-enhanced attacks for when they fail their valor roll.

Fae Warriors

These rebellious fae were promised favors if they helped Allad fight an army of demons. One of the Solars will probably lead them.


Magnitude: 2 (40 cataphractoi)
Hand to Hand: +8 to Attack and Parry / +4 to Damage
Armor: 4 (faerie plate) +1 to attack (target shield)
Drill: 4
Might: 3
Valor: 5
Order: Close
Movement: ??? yards (halved for Close Order)
Initiative: Charisma + Presence + 2

Tactics: With their ridiculously high hand-to-hand bonus in close order, these troops can decimate forces if led by an Exalt with good persistant charms. Barring that, a fae leading the unit would use Fearsome Mien, forcing valor checks from the opposition, and make several attacks per round, relying on their large number of autosuccesses from the HtH bonus.
