Languages : en
Pages : 81
Book Description
Dark necromancers have laid claim to forsaken kingdoms and summoned forth the souls of those who defiled their oathmarks. The dead, once again, march to war. As armies of wraiths and skeletal warriors bring destruction to their lands, the small kingdoms of the Marches also turn to the spirits of the dead. Gathering the most ancient and powerful of oathmarks, they recall the spectral forms of those that died in loyal battle to once again come forth in defence of their kingdoms. With these ethereal warriors joining their ranks, the kings of the Marches may yet stand. This supplement for Oathmark: Battles of the Lost Age introduces the forces of the dead to the game. Some armies will use dark magic to summon the souls and corpses of traitors from the past, while others will recall the spirits of loyal warriors that gave their lives and willingly fight again. This book also includes expanded rules for characters, which allow you to chart their progress from battle-to-battle, and watch as they grow in rank, responsibility, and power. All of these rules are then incorporated into a campaign featuring new scenarios that together tell of an epic war for survival.

Pages : 194
Book Description
Empires have fallen, and the land is broken. The great oathmarks that once stood as testaments to the allegiances and might of nations have crumbled into ruin. In this lost age, fealty and loyalty are as valuable as gold and as deadly as cold iron, and war is ever-present. Created by Joseph A. McCullough, designer of Frostgrave and Frostgrave: Ghost Archipelago, Oathmark is a mass-battle fantasy wargame that puts you in command of the fantasy army you've always wanted, whether a company of stalwart dwarves or a mixed force with proud elves, noble men, and wild goblins standing shoulder-to-shoulder in the battle-line. Fight through an integrated campaign system and develop your realms from battle to battle, adding new territories, recruiting new troop types, and growing to eclipse your rivals... or lose what you fought so hard to gain and fall as so many would-be emperors before you.

Oathmark: Bane of Kings
Author: Joseph A. McCullough
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1472847717
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Time is the bane of all kings. Always does it march forward, bringing change and challenges, wars and disasters, invaders and internal rebellion. This supplement for Oathmark: Battles of the Lost Age, focuses on the passage of time and its effect on a players kingdom. While wars and battle still determine their ultimate fate, many other events can affect the armies of a kingdom. Plagues and blights can reduce access to soldiers from specific territories. Attempted coups can cost a king some of his best generals. On the other hand, unexpected alliances might give a kingdom access to unusual troops, or the birth of a new heir might bring wondrous presents. Along with the rules for the passing of years, this book also presents the option to train your units to fight in special formations, such as phalanxes, shield walls, and skirmish lines. These will allow players to use their existing armies to try out new strategies and tactics to swing their battle in their favour. This book also includes several new military expeditions, including numerous scenarios, to once again challenge a player's generalship.

Book Description
The Kingdom of Elesia stands upon the brink of ruin. A brewing war with the empire to the south threatens to engulf the entire continent in turmoil and chaos. But while kings and lords fight over petty things like power and control, a far greater threat grows in the shadows. Monsters and strange beasts roam the countryside in numbers which seem to be growing faster than once thought possible. Darkness sweeps over the land. Some even believe that an ancient evil stirs, awaiting the chance to break free of its eternal prison. A lone monster hunter finds himself being drawn back into a world he thought he’d left behind when he is tasked with hunting and killing a monster for the man who had caused the grief and traumas that have left him a broken man. Aided by an assorted crew of powerful fighters, the monster hunter must confront both his own past and a world falling to chaos as he fights both man and beast on a perilous quest that will bring him ever closer to the rising darkness and the powerful creatures that draw strength from it. But in a world full of monsters, the monster hunter may yet come to realize that the worst monster of all is the one born of grief and trauma that lurks within himself.
