History Characters / WarhammerOtherFactions

* MultinationalTeam: While most Regiments and characters are Tilean, the Dogs of War include a wide assortment of troops and rogues from across the nations of the world. A mercenary army can potentially include Imperial exile knights, Arabyan cavalry, Norse marauders, Amazon warriors, Dwarf pirates, Dark Elf mercenaries, a High Elf dragonrider, Lizardmen raptor riders, Orc crossobowmen, Hobgoblin wolf riders, and similarly coloroful sorts.

* EthnicGod: The Imperial gods began as the patron deities of the Empire's founding tribes, each of which generally only worshipped one of them. While most are now revered throughout it, Ulric's worship remains highly characteristic of and almost entirely limited to the Middenlanders.

* EthnicGod: She is very strongly associated with Tilea and Estalia, to whom she's a patron deity similar to the role of Sigmar in the Empire. Imperials will aslo worship her as a deity of strategic warfare, but to the souther nations she takes a more important role as a deity of craft, knowledge, and the arts of civilization, and serves as a broader protector of their culture.

Shallya, the Lady of Mercy, is the goddess of healing, mercy, and childbirth, and a well-loved goddess whose faith is present in every corner of the Old World. Her followers are tasked with tending to the needy, providing medicine, and opposing the minions of the Fly Lord, and are forbidden from wielding weapons. She is the daughter of Morr and Verene, and sister to Myrmidia.

* CompositeCharacter: Through her focus on war and tactics and strong association with the southern nations, themselves counterparts to the post-Roman Mediterranean, she is very similar to Athena. Through her mythology as a deity who incarnated as a mortal to return to her people and lead to greatness before returning to her divine status, alongside a Tower of Babel equivalent in one version of Tylos' fall, she also has definite parallels to Jesus.

* DeviousDaggers: Ranald's favored weapons are the dagger and stiletto, which are valued for both the ease of their concealement and the finesse required for their use. Armour and longer or heavier weapons are seen as the crutches of artless lackwits and oafs.

* HammerOfTheHoly: Her are forbidden to kill and use no arms or armour other than a simple staff. That said, they can still be combat-trained, and that simple staff allows them to bash foes unconscious without inflicting wounds.

* {{Expy}}: Through her focus on war and tactics and strong association with the southern nations, themselves counterparts to the post-Roman Mediterranean, she is very similar to Athena.

!!Ulric
The god of wolves, war, and winter. Ulric was Sigmar's patron deity when the latter was still a mortal warrior, and remains a popular and influential god in the present. He's the patron and chief deity of Middeland, and his high priest, the Ar-Ulric, is the only non-Sigmarite religious figure to cast a vote when the Emperor is elected.

* DeathSeeker: Long Drong and his slayer pirates, much like other slayers, are motivated chiefly by a desire to perish in glorious battle against a mighty foe. Consequently, they have no problem volunteering for suicidal missions that will put prices on their heads or hunting down extremely large and dangerous monsters. In recent years, the aging Drong has become increasingly morose as he begins to feel that he is running out of time to find a worthy death before old age and his rapidly dropping number of limbs cost him the chance to find a worthy death.

Born in Barak Varr, Long Drong (so named because of his unusual height) made a living for himself as a merchant, and built up a reputation as a slow, careful and reliable transporter of fine goods. This ended when a storm drove his ship, ''The Barrel of Ale'', onto Sartosa's cliffs, leaving the crew helpless as their cargo of high-quality alcohol washed into the sea. Distraught and ashamed, Drong and his crew took the Slayer Oath and promptly stormed the nastiest fortress that they could find. Unfortunately for them, they survived and only managed to kill off all the pirates there, but in the process they gained a good pirate ship (renamed ''The Fair Fregar'' after a famously beautiful dwarf maiden), a strong home base, and quite a lot of gold. Rebranding themselves as Slayer pirates, Long Drong and his crew became mercenaries specialized in high-risk missions such as pay chest theft and retrieval, but Drong's particular passion remains hunting large and dangerous sea monsters. Over his career, he has slain many mighty foes and helped many slayers find their dooms, but Long Drong's worthy death has so far continued to eldue him.

Cathay eventually received a signficant expansion with when it became a fully-fledged playable faction in ''VideoGame/TotalWarWarhammerIII'', whose material whose later incorporated in ''Wahammer: The Old World''. Cathat is an immensely ancient nation, having been founded in the wake of the original coming of Chaos by the Dragon Emperor, a being who had predated the coming of the Old Ones and who decided to unify the scattered eastern tribes of humanity into a nation that could hold off the tides of Chaos. He and his mate, the Moon Empress, had nine children, who administer and direct the various corners of their empire and who in turn begat their own progeny with their subjects, creating long dynasties of dragon-blooded humans.

Cathay finally received a major expansion by being promoted to a fully-fledged playable faction in ''VideoGame/TotalWarWarhammerIII''.
