In the world of Warhost, few forces strike fear into the hearts of their enemies like The Dead of the Kingdom of Kaelan. Bound by ancient pacts and necromantic rituals, these warriors transcend mortality itself, standing as an unyielding vanguard of the fallen. They are not just soldiers—they are legends reborn, spirits of battle past, wielding steel and sorcery to carve their kingdom's name into eternity.
The Cult of the Dead: Power Beyond the Grave
At the heart of Kaelan's power is the Cult of the Dead, a secretive order of mage priests who practice the dark arts of necromancy. Through forbidden rituals and the sacrifice of life, they awaken the great heroes of the past, resurrecting them to serve once more. To outsiders, this practice is a horrifying perversion of life and death, but to the Kaelanites, it is a sacred duty—a means to ensure that their ancestors' legacies never fade.
Looming over them all is Lord Azrathar, Master of the Dark Rites, the greatest necromancer of his age. His chilling presence and mastery of death magic fuel the unholy legions, ensuring that Kaelan's warhosts march unhindered by the passage of time.
Kaelanite Warriors: The Fearless and the Undying
Kaelanite warriors are unshaken by pain, impervious to fear, and relentless in battle. Even the living among them are steeped in death, bearing pale skin, scarred faces, and haunting eyes that seem to peer into the abyss itself. Their unique relationship with mortality makes them brutal, fearless fighters as they charge into battle with unwavering resolve.
Yet, it is the undead that defines the Kingdom of Kaelan's might.
- The Ancient Battle Lords, are immortal warriors brought back from the grave through dark and ancient rites. Armed with the finest weapons from Kaelan's past, honed through centuries of war, they strike terror into all who oppose them.
- The Dead Wanderers, are the restless spirits of warriors long past, bound to the swamps and marshes surrounding the Kingdom. Now, as revenants, they serve as both guards and wardens hunting intruders who dare trespass upon Kaelanite lands.
Where they march, the air is heavy with the Aura of Decay, a supernatural dread that saps the courage of their foes. Even the bravest warriors falter when faced with the stench of the grave and the sight of the undying horde.
The First King: Kaelan, Eternal Ruler of the Dead
No figure looms larger over the Kingdom of Kaelan than Kaelan himself—the First King of the Barrow. Once a mighty warlord, he chose immortality over death, binding himself to the necromantic arts to protect his kingdom for all eternity. Now, as a spectral monarch, he leads the warhost with his cursed greatsword, his presence inspiring reverence and horror in equal measure.
Through the dark rites of the Cult, through the fearless charge of his living warriors, and through the grim determination of his undying commanders, King Kaelan ensures that his kingdom will never fade.
In Warhost, death is not the end—it is only the beginning.
