3!Kingdom of Astoria
4
5[[folder:General Tropes]]
6!!!Here are some general tropes applicable to various kingdom characters:
7
8----
9
10* BadassArmy: Has to be considering they're fighting a vastly larger force.
11* FrontlineGeneral: A vast majority of the kingdom characters due to the fact that they're sorely outnumbered and need to deploy all the able commanders as they can.
12* TheGoodKingdom
13* LaResistance: The resistance fighting against the invading [[TheEmpire Leganian Empire]].

17[[folder:Princess Cornelia]]
18
19Cornelia is the last survivor of the Astorian royal family. When the capital fell, she alone escaped from the chaos with a small party of loyal soldiers and attendants. Following their daring escape, she managed to reach an old castle by the sea, far from the capital, and raised her own army. Pieced together from remnants of the royal army, loyal commoners, and others with their own interests, her forces grew and began a campaign to retake her father’s throne.
20
21As a leader, she lacks experience, but her youthful enthusiasm and sincerity bring many to her banner. Should she survive this campaign, she will indeed be ready to serve as a benevolent queen.
22----
23* ArtificialStupidity: Since she takes the most direct route to the capital, she often runs into battles that can or will get her killed.
24* BlueBlood: The only known living member of the Astorian royal family left.
25* BornLucky: Her lucky girl personality character card.
26* AChildShallLeadThem: She's 16 years old and she's the leader of the remnants of Astoria's military forces.
27* DamageReduction: Any ally she recruits loses their abilities and grants her one damage reduction. Her warrior personality character card has this effect innately.
28* FieryRedhead: Wages a war against the much superior [[TheEmpire Leganian Empire]] to avenge her family and retake her kingdom despite her advisers urging against it.
29* GeneralFailure: Despite being able to win any battle she gets into due to the near fanatic devotion of her troops and her headstrong nature, she often takes heavy losses. Moreover, without the aid and guidance of the other kingdom characters, she will get herself killed.
30* LeeroyJenkins: She will attempt to head straight for the capital, and will not avoid a fight, even one she will clearly lose. The players' job is to get her there and defeat the Emperor instead of getting herself killed. Averted if you play using her strategist personality character card, in which case she is able to move tactically.
31%%%* LadyOfWar
32* MagneticHero: If using her social personality character card, soldiers join her force at the start of every round.
33%%%* PrincessInRags
34* RankScalesWithAsskicking: She's the sole surviving royal of Astoria, and she's able to defeat any enemy force she encounters, including a dragon and a demonic construct.
35* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Her kingdom gets invaded by the [[TheEmpire Leganian Empire]], she decides to personally lead a small resistance force to retake her kingdom.
36* WarriorPrincess: Quite literally in her warrior personality character card.
37* WeCannotGoOnWithoutYou: She's the only kingdom character that's not expendable, as she's the only known living member of the Astorian royal family and is required to restore the kingdom, if she dies the resistance falls apart and the kingdom characters lose.

40[[folder:Annelie, the New Strategist]]
41When the capital was taken, Annelie was a student at the military academy in the eastern lands of the kingdom. Shortly after the capital fell, the Imperial army struck at the city that was home to the military academy. Annelie had to command the cadets, and drove the enemy back with little difficulty.
42
43Her school record was incredible, but she was often nervous and stumbled at many opportunities, hence why her reputation among teachers and students was not the highest. But in the face of real battle, her true talent could finally bloom without hindrance. Her sharp tactics were so masterful, and her command so exact and sure, that people around her completely changed their view of this young student. Outside of battle however, she was still a clumsy city girl. People scratch their heads over her enigmatic gap in personality.
44----
45
46* BadassBookworm: Can hold her own in battle.
47* ShrinkingViolet
48* TheStrategist: For Astoria. She grants additional battle dice to allies that engage in battle in space adjacent to her and manages the logistics of the kingdom's armies.
49* SupportPartyMember: Can be played as this due to her ability to send soldiers and resources for free.
50
51[[/folder]]
52
53[[folder:Donia, the Sand Maiden]]
54Donia is the young leader of the ethnic minority often referred to as the “sand people”. She reads the future from the movement of the stars, and communicates with the elementals that dwell in heaven and earth. It is said that her power is one of the greatest among a long line of priestesses.
55
56One night, a star representing a bad omen appeared in the night sky, and she saw a vision of a dark cloud covering the land’s future. This premonition turned out to be the empire attacking. Donia joined the princess as soon as she heard of her escape, and brought with her capable warriors.
57----
58
59* ActionGirl
60* CripplingOverspecialization: While a decent attacker, she's terrible in defensive battles.
61* FortuneTeller: Is able to see the future, gameplay-wise, she enables you to always see the top of the event deck and can send support cards to other players.
62* MysticalWhiteHair: Is a fortune teller of sorts and has white hair despite being 19 years old.
63* SupportPartyMember: Due to her ability to get a free support card at the start of her turn and her unique ability to send support cards to other players, she can be played as this.
64* VaporWear

68[[folder:Gato, the Half Dragon]]
69Gato is the offspring of a human and a dragon who had taken human form. He is still quite young in dragon terms, and though he is only half-dragon, he still carries the blood of that dying species. He spent his days in ascetic practices, under the white dragon Zoroaster, in order to control the innate brutality of his dragon blood.
70
71When the empire invaded, Gato and Zoroaster were ambushed by Imperial soldiers together wtih the black dragon Dahaka, and Zoroaster was killed. Gato was carried away in chains and, seriously wounded, was dropped into a deep crevasse.
72
73The immense vitality and strength from his dragon blood saved his life, and he later buried Zoroaster in the hidden graveyard of dragons. Now he is on a mission of revenge against the killers of his teacher.
74----
75
76* TheBigGuy: For the kingdom characters, he's a one-man army.
77* DragonAncestry: He's half-dragon.
78* EnemyMine: Only working with Astoria because he wants to get revenge on Dahaka and those who aided Dahaka (the empire).
79* HalfHumanHybrid
80* ItsPersonal: His whole reason for aiding Astoria is because he wants revenge on Dahaka for killing Zoroaster.
81* LightningBruiser: The most mobile player character in the game due to the fact he requires no resources to move, and his strength matches that of a small army.
82* OneManArmy: The only kingdom character who doesn't lead troops. This doesn't stop him from charging into empire forces and routing them.
83* WarriorMonk: His artwork suggests this.
84[[/folder]]
85
86[[folder:Godfried, the Temple Knight]]
87Godfried is a temple knight who serves the Eastern Church worshiping the Sun God, whose influence stretches out over the continent.
88
89As head of the Astorian kingdom’s state religion, the Church is highly powerful. When the empire invaded, the Church dispatched Godfried and the Dawn Knights, officially to deliver the faithful from the grasps of evil. Internally, the Church is concerned that should the empire solidify their rule, the Church could lose autonomy.
90
91The empire, for its own part, wants to avoid a full-scale collision with the Church during the annexation of the Astorian kingdom, however the Church has no intention of avoiding the conflict.
92
93For their worshipers and for the furtherance of its improved position in the future, the temple knights rallied under the princess’ banner, and give their lives to this liberation front. They wear the armor of faith, and are stronger and more resilient than any other.
94----
95
96* ChurchMilitant
97* CombatMedic: His only ability is to heal others, but he can hold his own in a battle.
98* TheFaceless
99* WhiteMage: Can heal other characters as an action.

103[[folder:Havok, the Old Knight]]
104Havok was a famous knight-commander, and former pillar of the kingdom’s military forces.
105
106After his retirement, he served the princess as her personal guard, until finally leaving that position at the age of 58. Ever since, he has led a reclusive life in a small estate that was bestowed to him by the King, near the eastern frontier of the kingdom.
107
108Because the capital fell suddenly, he was unable to join that battle. This has left Havok furiously vengeful. When word came that Princess Cornelia was alive, he led his small army to join the banner of the princess. He is a cheerful and vivacious old man despite his desire for vengeance, and of good counsel for the princess.
109----
110
111* BashBrothers: With Magnus who helped raised an army for Havok.
112* BestFriend: Of Magnus's.

124[[folder:Ilsahati, the King of the Wind]]
125The king of the Elven families living in the forest area called “Maze Woods”. They consist of a high civilization and have for centuries had a treaty with the kingdom, and lived self governed within the boundaries of the Astoria.
126
127Elves normally do not participate in the mundane fights of the humans, but Ilsahati felt the empire a threat to their autonomy, and also, the empire used soldiers of vile races that elves hate beyond all else. Thus Ilsahati has agreed to a temporary military alliance with the princess. The elven families have a distinguished technique with the bow and can fire from afar without being noticed by the enemy. Their small numbers are outweighed by their prowess.
128----
129
130* CripplingOverspecialization: Possibly the most powerful attacking character, but is terrible in defensive battles; although, not to the extent of Donia.
131* GlassCannon: Great at attacking, mediocre at defending.
132* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething
133
134[[/folder]]
135
136[[folder:Madam Josephine, the Wealthy Merchant]]
137Madam Josephine is a bold woman who controls most of the commercial ventures in the southernmost port town.
138
139In her younger days she was married to a man who inherited a small shop that handled shipwright tools. Josephine learned the business and her knowledge served as a complement to her husband’s efforts. However, her husband passed away in an epidemic, and she had to take over the business completely.
140
141She evolved her business into a merchant ship wholesaler, and the business grew rapidly.
142
143She has always had an eye for the inland trade, and has been waiting for an opportunity to trade with the royal family. Now, the situation has completely changed, and she has judged that it’s much better to declare loyalty to the princess rather than siding with the empire. With this, she has become the main financial sponsor for raising an army to march on the capital with the princess.
144----
145
146* NonActionGuy: The worst fighter out of all the kingdom characters.
147* SupportPartyMember: Gets free troops and supplies at the start of her turn, but she's terrible at combat, which pushes her into this.
148* UtilityPartyMember: Due to her terrible combat ability and her ability of getting free soldiers and resources, she's this for the kingdom characters.
149[[/folder]]
150
151[[folder:Magnus, the Hermit]]
152Magnus is a veteran magician leading a reclusive life in the deep forest. Formerly in the service of the King as a court magician, he became increasingly weary of the political strife of bureaucrats who did nothing but exploit the political situations. When a close friend of his, the knight-commander Havok retired Magnus soon followed and retreated to a secluded life.
153
154When Havok sent word that the capital had fallen, Magnus was asked to help him raise an army. Magnus at first refused, having grown completely weary of the mundane world. However, unwilling to leave his old friend rushing out in a reckless and dangerous battle, Magnus has grudgingly agreed to join the fight.

166[[folder:Mizra, the Royal Guard]]
167Mizra was the commander of the Queensguard, who served and guarded the second queen Malene. Her bodyguards consisted solely of lethal, trained women who can also blend into a crowd to hide in plain sight, yet still be at all times prepared to defend their liege. They are known for their astounding excellence in fighting that defies their stunning beauty.
168
169The Queensguard were involved in the battle of the capital, and fought valiantly, but realizing that the battle was lost, Malene ordered her bodyguards to retreat to fight another day for the sake of the kindgom, and sent them away. They managed to escape from the capital, but were scattered by the enemy, and Mirza was finally cornered in a small village.
170
171Her counterattack starts from this hopeless position!
172----
173
174* ActionGirl
175* AmazonBrigade: Her former unit of the Queensguard.
176* CastFromHitPoints: She can pay one life to turn all her misses to hits in a battle.

181[[folder:Mountain Cat Band]]
182The gang known as the “Mountain Cat Band”, were originally a group of farmers and mercenaries not able to make a lawful living. While few among them were outright criminal, they simply needed to eat! They viewed themselves as chivalrous robbers, who only stole from trade carriages of wealthy merchants. They have no true duty towards the kingdom, but witnessing the empire’s treatment of their own relatives and friends in the villages, has caused the Mountain Cat Band to gather people and start a guerrilla war. Apparently, they don’t appreciate when foreign soldiers come marching in, claiming the Mountain Cat territory as their own.
183
184The current leader, Fara, is the daughter of the former leader. Spunky and driven, she is highly skilled in finding dubious individuals who can fight for her cause

187* BanditClan
188* InTheHood: Fara.

192[[folder:Urgan, the Fortress King]]
193The King of the dwarven clans, Urgan has been a close ally of the royal family. The Dwarven society is self-governed and centered around a mine that produces high quality ore, and the mining city that he ruled gradually grew and developed into a kingdom in it’s own right. The invasion of the empire was a strike to the dwarves as well, as the Astorian Kingdom had been a beneficial ally for many years. When he heard that Princess Cornelia was raising an army, Urgan immediately volunteered with his men. The dwarven soldiers are stouthearted allies and the result of hard mine labor, and are extremely resilient; normal human soldiers have a hard time catching up, at least in the dwarves’ opinion.

201[[folder:Zyne, the Shrewd General]]
202Leaving home at the age of 19, Zyne first served as a low-level guard who stood at the gate of the capital. However, he would make a name for himself in the wars against barbarians in the countryside over the next 6 years. With a small band of men, he displayed a brilliant intelligence, and captured the barbarians’ camps one after the other. Not long thereafter, he finally managed to capture the barbarians’ main village at the eastern border, and succeeded in expelling the barbarians from the kingdom.
203
204However, the prime minister and others who value the old ways of advancement, were jealous of this young man moving up so fast in the kingdom. Instead of promotion, he was immediately given the rank of “Eastern General” – a command over the forces in the far eastern edge of the kingdom. There he was stationed at his new post, a fort with scarcely any soldiers – in effect, a demotion. However, this proved to be a stroke of luck; his forces were unscathed during the invasion, and now, in this national crisis, he leads his 11th army of the border guard, truly the most reliable supporter of the princess.
205----
206
207* BrainyBrunette: Known as the "Shrewd General."
208* ExtraTurn: His ability.
209%%* FourStarBadass

217
218[[folder:General Tropes]]
219!!!Here are some general tropes applicable to various imperial characters:
220
221* BackFromTheDead: Possible for all imperial characters if the curse of immortality event card is in play.
222* DefeatMeansFriendship: If the persuasion fate card is drawn, the fate-bounded imperial character will join the kingdom character that defeats them in battle.
223%%* TheEmpire
224* HeelFaceTurn: The redemption support card more or less is this, it allows you to recruit a defeated imperial character as an ally.
225
226[[/folder]]
227
228[[folder:Emperor Lionel VIII]]
229The sitting emperor of the Leganian Empire, and also a distant relative to the Astorian royal family. This gives him, in his mind, a reason for this brutal invasion, as he intends to merge the two kingdoms into one under his line.
230
231As he was once known as a good king who never abused his power, even his own people are highly surprised at such sudden military action this late in his reign. However, most remain loyal.
232
233Those retainers who voiced opposition to their lord were banished, and the peaceful neighboring kingdom of Astoria was torn by the flames of war.
234
235Today, Lionel sits on his newly claimed throne, with what some might see as madness glinting in his eyes. Will the reason for this sudden change of character ever come to light?
236----
237
238* BeardOfEvil: Sports a large white beard.
239* BigBad: Of the game, although it's heavily suggested he's probably under the control of someone else.
240%%* BlueBlood
241* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Heavily suggested.
242* TheEmperor: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Self-explanatory]].
243* EveryoneIsRelated: A distant relative to Princess Cornelia.
244* FinalBoss: Generally serves as one for the kingdom characters considering Princess Cornelia has to enter his space to win the game.
245* TheGoodKing: Was apparently this in the past before he suddenly decided to invade Astoria.
246* OrcusOnHisThrone: He doesn't move out of the capital unless a certain event card is drawn.
247* RankScalesWithAsskicking: Potentially one of the most powerful empire characters depending on the number of empire characters left on the board.
248
249[[/folder]]
250
251[[folder:Princess Amina]]
252Amina is the youngest daughter of Emperor Lionel. Her childlike appearance and lovely way of speaking has made her an immensely popular royal figure in the empire. She has no talent for military action, but is a natural people person, and has been sent as a mediator against the chaos that succeeded the invasion. Her natural kindness and understanding has worked well even in the Astorian kingdom, and the calmness she displays equally in times of war or peace has made her soldiers brave and true.
253
254Despite being slightly selfish because of her young age and position, she is kind at heart. She is hurt and worried at the sudden change in her father, and has often been seen praying for him at monasteries.
255----
256
257* AllLovingHeroine
258* AntiVillain: Is noted to be kind of heart and understanding.
259* BlueBlood
260* LovedByAll: Even the inhabitants of Astoria seem to adore her. In fact, if you recruit her as an ally, any other empire character your character defeats joins you.

264[[/folder]]
265
266[[folder:Dahaka, the Black Drake]]
267Dahaka is a relatively young member of what are considered the most aggressive of all dragons: the black drakes. Normally not interested in the mundane striving of humans, he lent his powers to the empire in exchange for the opportunity to fight and defeat the white dragon Zoroaster, and steal his nest and treasure. This wish was fulfilled, and Dahaka is currently residing where Zoroaster once lived.
268
269With this goal achieved, Dahaka waits for the empire to complete its war with the Astorian kingdom. At that point Dahaka will launch his next plan, the extermination of the annoying empire from these lands, to build a kingdom of his own.
270----
271
272* DragonHoard: Stole Zoroaster's hoard after killing Zoroaster.
273* TheStarscream: Plans to back stab the Empire eventually.

276
277[[folder:Demian, the Dark Noble]]
278The head of an imperial noble family, Demian is in truth an immortal vampire, who constantly reinvents himself as his own heirs to continue his legacy. Demian is one of the only people alive who remembers the old empire.
279
280Given new life as a vampire by the capriciousness of another vampire ages ago, this former Imperial noble has recently begun to tire of power, glory and even his own existence. However, the sudden change in the empire, and the unexpected military action against Astoria were curious enough to ease his boredom. In the fires of the war, he built a new little realm within the Astorian kingdom and is there awaiting a new enemy that can light the fire inside him.
281----
282
283* BloodKnight: Heavily implied by his character bio and the fact that he's an aggressive imperial character.
284* BlueBlood
285* CompellingVoice: While he's an ally, he can force empire soldiers in spaces adjacent to you join your forces.
286* DeathIsCheap: Will come back no matter how many times you defeat him in battle unless someone stays on his lair where he respawns.
287* OurVampiresAreDifferent
288* RecurringBoss: Due to the fact he returns after being defeated, he can become this.
289* WhoWantsToLiveForever: "Has recently begun to tire of power, glory and even his own existence."

291[[/folder]]
292
293[[folder:Dorgas, the Steel Hurricane]]
294One of the imperial general council, Dorgas is a mystery. In times of peace, he is a gentle middle-aged man, but in times of battle he turns into a fearsome foe that the word “berserk” scarcely begins to describe. The twin axes that he wields deftly, stir up whirlwinds of gore as he lashes out, butchering any enemy that dares come close.
295
296He is fully aware of his role, and relishes the madness and chaos of the battle, in stark contrast to the quiet family man he is when off the field. What creates such violence in a quiet soul?
297----
298
299* TheBerserker: In battle he's this.
300* CoDragons: With the other members of the imperial general council.
301%%* DualWielding
302* FourStarBadass: A general in the imperial army and on the imperial general council.
303* FrontlineGeneral: Unlike a majority of the empire characters who are generally passive, Dorgas charges head first into enemies alongside his soldiers.
304* GentleGiant: When not in battle.
305* RankScalesWithAsskicking: A member of the imperial general council and a whirlwind of death.
306
307[[/folder]]
308
309[[folder:Exhar, the Ice Lord]]
310Exhar is head of the imperial general council, and is known as an unparalleled commander. He is astoundingly brave, ingenious and has emerged victorious from countless difficult battles, commanding them with a calmness that has been described as “ice itself”.
311
312He will promote and value any talented individual, paying no regard to family or status. Where others look for lineage, Exhar looks for skill. The trust he gains from his subordinates is strong and fierce.
313
314He internally questions the reckless and confusing military action of the emperor, but outwardly regards the current situation with calm. After the capital fell, he set up his own headquarters in a fortress that the Astorian kingdom built to repel barbarians in the past.
315
316Exhar immediately committed to learning everything about Astoria, its lands, and people. Knowing that inevitably, he would have to face down some nature of rebellion.
317----
318
319%%%* AntiVillain
320* CoDragons: With the other members of the imperial general council.
321* FourStarBadass: A general in the imperial army and on the imperial general council.
322* HighClassGlass: Wears a monocle.
323* NoSell: Moreso than other imperial characters on defensive positions as the fortress he is on removes two battle dice when attacking into him, and his own personal ability removes another. This means attacking Exhar without at least four combat power will do nothing to him and his soldiers.
324* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Values any capable individual regardless of their family or status, and has second thoughts about the Emperor's sudden attack on Astoria.
325* TheStrategist: For the empire.

328
329[[folder:Gregorio, the Priest]]
330Gregorio is a priest of the Night God, the opposite of the Sun God. Death being nothing more than the other half of Life, The Night God who commands the Other Side, the nightly world and death, is not inherently an evil being, and has a substantial amount of followers. Gregorio, however, is among these priests a devout fanatic follower of the concept of Death specifically, and is constantly trying to enlarge the realm of his god. He is currently residing with the emperor and, under his protection, is regularly executing kingdom loyalists to send them to his god. As of yet, no one has managed to stop this insanity.

333%%%* BadassPreacher
334* CoolMask: Holds a skull-motif mask in his artwork.

343Irvin and Marianne are two commanders that recently made a name for themselves in the empire. They hail from of one of the many noble families in the empire.
344
345The brother, Irvin, is a careful tactician while the sister, Marianne, is a passionate ambusher. They both make up for the other’s shortcomings, and have achieved great results in military expeditions together. At this point they have reached positions where they both have armies under their command.
346
347Even separately they are skilled enough, but together they are next to invincible. Even the General Council are concerned about this pair.
348----
349
350* ActionGirl: Marianne.
351* BlueBlood
352* BrotherSisterTeam: Noted to be near invincible when together.
353* DefeatMeansFriendship: While this is possible for any character that can be fate-bound to a kingdom character, one of them joins you automatically if you defeat them while the other is your ally.
354* GeminiDestructionLaw: Unless you defeat both siblings in a single round, a defeated sibling returns at the start of the round.
355* RedOniBlueOni: Marianne (red) is aggressive and launches ambushes while Irwin (blue) takes a defensive position in a fortress.
356* SiblingTeam
357* TheStrategist: Irwin.

361[[folder:The King of the Abyss]]
362The King of the Abyss is a demon construct, summoned by an ancient ritual under the command of the emperor. This being is nothing more than an incarnation of avarice, and did not only annihilate forces of the kingdom, but blighted entire areas of the kingdom. Worse, the King brought thralls with it, lesser powerful versions of itself, though still incredibly dangerous.
363
364The construct is still not satisfied, and is roaming the lands for more things to engulf. Not even the empire can control it anymore. This is little more than a walking catastrophe, bringing death wherever it goes.
365
366----
367* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Some kind of demonic construct.
368* PersonOfMassDestruction: Removes two of your soldiers if you're in the same area as the King of the Abyss at the beginning of a round. It's also suggested that it turned the area it starts on into a desert wasteland.

372[[folder:Kostov, Chancellor]]
373The fourth of the Imperial general council, Kostov is a skilled politician that controls most of the empire’s internal affairs. His philosophy is to constantly adapt to the surroundings, and his bribes of everyone to the left and right are indeed problematic, yet his ability to protect the core resources of the empire is unchallenged.
374
375He’s currently situated in one of the conquered merchant cities in the Astorian kingdom and is constructing a trade pipeline to the empire with tremendous speed. Of course, Kostov never neglects to fill his own coffers in the process.

379* CorruptPolitician: Noted to take bribes and is taking some of the gains from the conquest of Astoria.

384[[folder:Lyla, the Arcane General]]
385Another of the imperial general council, Lyla is a fascinating woman and plays a grand part in the Imperial army.
386
387She is not only skilled in the military arts, but she knows much about intrigues and rumors. She has stood face to face with death more than thirty times, and inspires fear in her soldiers. Lyla is known as the “Goddess of War.”
388
389She has a violent temper and a foul mouth at times, but shows loyalty to her competent subordinates and despises unfairness. She finds this invasion ended too quickly and too easily, and is thus eager to continue the fight with any remaining uprisings.

404[[folder:Ravinith, the Necromancer]]
405Ravinith is a necromancer who has mastered death magic. Due to her dark arts, she has been revived from death countless times. The more foul magic she has learned throughout the years, and the more times she has returned from death, the more her humanity has been chipped away. She intends to use the spirits of those killed in this war to amass even more necromantic power. Her selfish acts of disturbing the resting places of the dead are performed with no concern for their memory, but only as a means to preserve herself and her immortality.
406
407She participated in the war without any henchmen, but the more that were killed in battle, the more power she amassed, and she has now grown more powerful than ever.
408----

410* CameBackWrong: Loses a bit of her humanity every time she returns from the dead.
411* FlunkyBoss: Has soldiers (raised from the dead) all around her area, and they keep returning at the start of a round unless she's defeated.
412* OurLichesAreDifferent: While she's not explicitly stated to be a lich, she's essentially one considering the fact that she is a powerful necromancer who can resurrect herself after being slain.

416[[folder:Rozie, the Ancient Weapon]]
417“Rozie” is a mechanical being found in an ancient ruin in the Astorian kingdom. Her body, constructed with an metal unknown to modern blacksmiths is harder, more resilient, stronger than any other.
418
419This ancient construct was held in a laboratory in the Astorian kingdom after its discovery, and was captured by the empire when the capital fell. However, as she awoke without proper directions, she immediately escaped. She is currently waiting for her long-dead master in the ruins where she was found, and attacks anyone that dares come close.

432[[folder:The Black Knight]]
433The person known as The Black Knight is the master of a keep built deep in a range of mountain foothills. The region has long been self-sufficient and The Black Knight and its people owe no loyalty to the kingdom or the empire.
434
435The name of The Black Knight has been told in many war stories, and all of them tell of a tremendous might, but no one knows more than that. Many theories, including that it’s a succession of warriors, or that it’s a dead spirit in a suit of armor, surround this mysterious knight.
436
437The Black Knight didn’t so much as move when the empire invaded, but didn’t join the Imperial forces either. Perhaps those eyes, silently glittering under the visor, are the only ones who know the terrible truth behind this war.

440* BlackKnight: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Self-explanatory]].
441* DefeatMeansFriendship: Joins any kingdom character as an ally that defeats it.
442* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin
443* TheFaceless
444* OptionalBoss: Defeating it isn't necessary to win the game, and it doesn't count as a empire character; as such, the Black Knight doesn't give Emperor Lionel a bonus to his combat power. However, if you do defeat the Black Knight, it joins you and instantly removes Emperor Lionel when you are adjacent to Lionel.
445* WorthyOpponent: Regards the character that defeats it as such considering it joins said character.
