Khaelokon Hellhammer waited in the Brass Citadel, reforming back to full strength so to exact vengeance on the Binding. However after an accidental summoning by the Khornate Empire, the Desraki Dominion the Greater Demon found another avenue. He learned that the Tzeentchian Lands in Northern Thondia were in disarray after the Battle of Yleth. For Khaelokon this was an opportunity to honor Khorne by crushing the lands of the cowardly Sorcerer God.
For the Desraki this was an auspicious omen, a sign to start a Brass Crusade into Ghur. A massive force was assembled, different pillars of Desraki Society came together to create an effective fighting force that ripped into the Tzeenchian lands. The Desraki have no qualms subjugating Ghurish Natives to fight for their cause, and reward those who would assist in the subjugating. The Khornate forces are a machine of slaughter, though on closer look they might be at each other throats before they can secure victory
The Scorntide was a Tzeentchian Kingdom controlled by Razistek Spireclaw that controlled much of Thondia north to the Thunderscorn Peaks. However after the defeat of Razistek Spireclaw, whose essence was shattered and it will take decades if not centuries to regenerate, has resulted in a dire situation for the Scorntide. Several Warlords have turned onto each other, the most powerful being Valithek whose kingdom stands the strongest amongst the anarchy.
With the Invasion of the Desraki these disparate rivals banded together, alongside Tzeentch worshiping factions arriving from other parts of Ghur and other Realms

Phase One is where the forces of Khorne & Tzeentch are dominant as they clash with each other.

But also these regions you control and how your Army might govern them for decades to come
The Binding’s Goals
As this event is primarily a Soulbound event, it is noteworthy to focus on what the Bindings will be wanting to do.
The Binding has their work cut out for them. They hope to preserve the lives of innocents in theregion, but they face overwhelming forces that put a great strain everywhere.
Military Goals
Both Khornates & Tzeentchians command vast & powerful armies. Military forces that would be too much for legions of Order, Death or Destruction let alone a Binding. The Commanders all over Ghur are also concerned that these forces may join together if attacked by a large military.
Or one side may become ascendant if their rival gets too weak. It is up to the Binding to make tactical & surgical strikes in the conflict so to hurt both sides in equal measure. The Binding’s goal is to
Humanitarian Goals
The Binding must protect the lives of innocents, lives that are threatened by the evils of the Dark Gods, whether they be scheming Businessmen, to ravaging Blood Raiders, to tyrannical kings. The lives outside the conflict are at risk.
Intrigue Goals
The War has pulled in many different groups from many Realms. Different groups scheme and plot to dominant and profit from the Conflict
High above the Crusader State of the Templars of Our Burning Saviour in Thondia Nurglite attackers clash with Templar defenders and their Kharadron allies.
The attackers must be repelled to secure the future of the Crusader State.
With the lessening of Khornate & Tzeentchian power, the Beastmen rage. All types of frays go ranging across the new cities and power bases. These hordes hope to rip the rising threads of civilization apart. They need to be fought off!
Defense Against The NurglingsAs new powers settle in the Drench, they will have to fend off waves of Nurglings who want to tear down these rising civilizations. Worshippers of the Plague God will throw Pestigors, Pox Walkers, Blightkings and even allied Plague Monks...
As Ephilim rose in power and destroyed many of the rival Tzeentchian Factions, such as the Indigo Permanent Assurance, this has left a power vacuum for other powers can exploit. However one should always be careful around a nest of Tzeentchians (Can’t be done if doing the Desraki Theatre)
As a Soulbound event, we do have a significant amount of NPCs and other important characters. That said, below you’ll find those that are *most* important to know about.
A merciless Ogroid Thaumaturge cult leader. He is master of a whole empire built to his exact whims in Ymetrica’s Saratrai Chasm.
Arch-Cleric Aemlann Tidefury was there when his Ancient Idoneth City fell, barely escaping with his life. He was vital for establishing the signature Fleshwarping Magic, and sent powerful Chaos Warriors to hunt for beings known as Twin-Forms to help fuel his experimentation on this field of magic. He sees Fleshwarping as a mirror to his dual faith in Tzeentch & Nurgle.
A Redcloak of immense prestige, Elder Aurelio Thornmark is the second son of the immortal Dio Thornmarker and the current oldest Thornmark.
Valithek Scorntalon, is a Curseling general who claims to be the direct son of Razistek Spireclaw. On his path of entitled cruelty across the plains of Gallet, he has summoned and wed one of Tzeentch’s beloved Pink Horrors, known as Azz’a’thinn’ithrax.
His preferred manifestation, when unable to fully take form, is to possess the corpse of a friendly but badly damaged warrior (preferably riddled with as many arrows as possible).
The First Head of the Slain Hydra. The Teeth were repositioned as Castles that surrounded the perimeter of the City, making this one of the most secure Cities in the region. Mighty Garrisons staff these Castles overlooking the vast & dangerous wilds of Ghur.
The last scuffle between the Hydra and Gorka Morka ended with the last spiked head of the Hydra landing in the lake below. For centuries the large spikes provided shelter to the population, and from there a system of canals connected the various spikes.
The amount of resources dedicated to maintaining this city has led to disputes by some who believe it would be best spent on the frontlines.
Around the hills and swamps of Welquay there had been a collection of tribes loyal to the Changer of Ways. This group was mostly nomadic, believing that investing in large scale institutions is against the God of Change, as it promotes stagnation.
History of the Tusk Cities
In the early Days of Myth, Gorkamorka encountered the massive Tusk Hydra flying miles over the skies of Ghur. Every year he would leap into the air, beheading the Tusk Hydra; over the course of six years, each of the heads would fall to the ground. These heads provided shelter for roving bands of Humans seeking reprieve from the great predators of Ghur. These societies grew into mighty warbands that warred & traded with each other.
As Chaos began to descend upon the Realms, these warbands pledged themselves to Sigmar. However, as the war progressed, some of the Great Clans turned on their comrades and pledged themselves to the Dark Gods. For their betrayal, the First Families received Insidious Boons and Demonic Allies, which helped them enslave their people. The Cities coalesced into a mighty Empire, called the Ivory Empire. Affairs were hardly peaceful during the time of the Ivory Empire, as strife & Civil War was common as dynasties sought to undermine & replace each other.
As the Age of Sigmar began, the Stormhost Thunder’s Fury arrived to lay low these Slave Kings. From their ashes arose nascent republics. Over decades, these republics began to rebuild their infrastructure, eschewing the old ways of slave trade. However, being located in Thondia during the Era of The Beast led to a great strain on these republics, one that opportunistic invaders were sure to exploit.
As the Desraki Armies entered Ghur, they made deals with the descendants of the ruling families of the Ivory Empire. These families ceased the anarchy in light of the rise of Kragnos and the invading Desraki to take control. After they took command of the cities, they swore fealty to the Desraki in exchange for resources and stability. All they had to do was to give tribute in the form of manpower, something they are glad to do.
We’re inviting players to contribute to the story even before the event starts. If you head over to the standard submissions page of the Weave, you’ll be able to submit your very own Heroes, armies, creatures, locations, or even fully-fledged stories that tell of your exploits within the area. When you do so, they’ll appear both in our Ghur Realm page, as well as on this page for all to see!

In-Person Event: Chiang mai Thailand
August/สิงหาคม 26th
In conjunction with the creators of the Hellscorn War, we are also running an in-person event located in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
More information will be coming soon, but here are the current known details:
On the day, each Player (not Warband) will dedicate themselves to either Tzeentch or Khorne. By dedicating your efforts to one of the gods, every Warband will either be furthering the goals of the Desraki Dominion or Valithek’s Scorntide – either intentionally or not. This applies to Death, Order, and Destruction Warbands as well.
For Example: A Kharadron Overlords warband isn’t likely to allign itself to either of these gods intentionally. But by defeating a Warband who’s Player is alligned with Khorne, they’re helping the Scorntide forces. Or, by attacking a trade-line or important location in a Scorntide-held location they’d be helping the Desraki Dominion.
ร่วมกับผู้สร้าง Hellscorn War เรายังจัดกิจกรรมแบบเจรจาอยู่ในสถานที่จริง ณ เชียงใหม่ ประเทศไทย
ข้อมูลเพิ่มเติมจะมาเร็ว ๆ นี้ แต่นี่คือรายละเอียดที่รู้ในขณะนี้:
ผู้เล่นควรมีรายชื่อกองทัพที่ถูกสร้างขึ้นก่อนเริ่มงาน
ในวันกิจกรรม แต่ละผู้เล่น (ไม่ใช่ Warband) จะบุญตัวเองให้กับ Tzeentch หรือ Khorne โดยการที่จะให้ความพยายามของคุณกับหนึ่งในเทพเจ้าเหล่านี้ ทุก Warband จะไปในทิศทางของ Desraki Dominion หรือ Valithek’s Scorntide – ไม่ว่าจะเป็นไปตามคำตั้งใจหรือไม่ก็ตาม ส่วนนี้ใช้กับ Death, Order, และ Destruction Warbands ด้วย
ตัวอย่างเช่น: Warband ของ Kharadron Overlords ไม่น่าจะตั้งใจจะประสานตัวเองกับเทพเจ้าเหล่านี้เลย แต่โดยการชนะ Warband ที่ผู้เล่นประสานตัวกับ Khorne เขาก็กำลังช่วยกำเนิดกำลังของ Scorntide หรือหากโจมตีเส้นทางการค้าหรือสถานที่สำคัญในพื้นที่ที่ Scorntide ครอบครอง ก็หมายความว่าเขากำลังช่วย Desraki Dominion ด้วย
