Undying Dynasties

“Across the world, and nowhere more than ancient Naptesh, civilisations have entombed their nobility to endure untold centuries. Yet not all that rests beneath earth, sand and stone stays buried. Returned to reclaim lost kingdoms and to cast off the shackles of flesh and time, the Undying Dynasties arise!”

Playstyle

The Undying Dynasties are an army of the animated dead, sustained and empowered by ancient magic. Their sorcerers weave spells that not only bolster their forces but also raise fallen warriors, ensuring their ranks are endlessly replenished.

This army offers a versatile playstyle. They can field numerous chariots, either as swift, small units or as a single devastating formation. Towering monsters, both undead behemoths and animated statues, march alongside them, crushing foes with sheer might. Alternatively, resilient cavalry mounted on resurrected beasts provide a hard-hitting, durable force.

For a completely different approach, the Undying Dynasties can overwhelm their enemies with vast legions of skeleton warriors, swarming the battlefield with relentless numbers.

Strategically, the army can be tailored for brutal close combat, devastating ranged warfare, or a balanced mix of both—making them a formidable and flexible force on the battlefield.

“Naptesh is no longer the land of fertility it once was. Crumbling monoliths and the tombs of the great Pharaohs are but shadows of their former glory - yet the dead still linger. Here, and in tombs across the world, honour guards stand vigil with a discipline and loyalty that has surpassed the grave. Living stone constructs crush any foolish enough to come searching for treasure. Thousands of years in the earth have not dampened their appetite for war, and these ancient monarchs show no sign of returning to their tombs.”

Presence in the world

The most powerful and best known of the undying dynasties is that of Naptesh, whose undead armies still wage eternal war against the Usurper’s forces from Hassar to the east. Napteshi agents operate around the world, forming ties with other dynasties that have embraced or succumbed to the eternal slumber.
Through curse or ritual, divine retribution or unbreakable oath, a peoples’ door to the afterlife can close, their souls unable to cross the Veil. Instead, they linger on, rising from their tombs in times of strife or to defend their ancient principles.
