“The throne is empty. The balance is broken. The world will be written by whoever holds the Places-where-it-is-thin.”
Four powers
Each faction picks up a shard of the broken god — and tries to remake the world in its shape.
"Build walls before the world melts."
Discipline made flesh. Heavy infantry, fortresses that do not fall. They march not for the throne — for the walls. And, quietly, to find a golden spark they once lost: their daughter.
+HP · defense"Lull the world back to sleep."
For a thousand years they owned the truth. Their god has fallen — and they would rather burn the new truth than admit the lie. Flame, steam siege, fanatic conviction.
+damage · aggression"Let the world flow free."
Night, void, fluid. Raiders that strike from the brush and vanish. They do not want a throne — a throne is a boundary. They want the world without form, without edges, hers.
+speed · ambush"No more thrones."
The mortals who burned. Heretics who remembered. They build cheap, raid loud, and fight not for a god but for themselves — to be free of all crowns at last. Their weapon is memory.
+loot · partisan tacticsScreenshots
Skirmish maps, codex, scenarios, siege of fortified Cult holdings.
