The Exiled Blades are a group of wandering Aqshian warriors, bodyguards, and sellswords fighting under the command of the noble-born woman Kido Takara, heir to the deposed warlord Kido Takeo of the Dawnsgift Isles. They fight to restore their honor and reclaim their lost home island.
(Credit to Fiona Gardiner for the concept of the Dawnsgift Isles. She can be reached on Discord as “fibutt”.)

The Dross-Fray were liberated during a raid by the Dross-forged into the bowels of Brak Zhagoul. They are guided by a daemon, a Poxbringer that answers to the name of Verrucatius, and they ultimately aim to return to Brak Zhagoul in order to fight into the centre of the city and place death’s heads into the cisterns and water supplies.
