Seven characters, four ranks, one mission.

Select any character below to open their full stat sheet.

Officers & Specialists
Character 01
Dalamides
Rune Lord of the Seven Mothers
High Ranking Officer, Antelope Lancers
Dalamides has reached a high cult rank through long years of hard work in the Lunar Provincial Army. He is a good soldier who knows what he wants and doesn't like to take risks.
Character 02
Hazphar Pharates
Illuminate, Initiate of Red Moon & Seven Mothers
Magician of the Marble Phalanx
Hazphar is proud of his noble lineage, but joined the army to escape the constant webs of bickering and intrigue that plague the Empire. He had particular success in the Lunar Colleges of Magic before being assigned to the Marble Phalanx. He now hates his choice of career, having been tied down in Pavis for too long. He met Dalamides at a party in the Silk’n’Plume, and decided to join his venture merely for the excitement.
Character 03
Reskil Taranus
Priest of the Seven Mothers
Chaplain, Antelope Lancers
A wise and cautious priest, Reskil has doubts about the recklessness of Dalamides’ venture. He has come along as a cautionary influence, hoping Dalamides will not land himself in trouble. Reskil hails from the lowlands of Aggar, the son of a middle class merchant. He is staunchly pro-Lunar, but prefers discussing the advantages that the Red Goddess offers rather than disputing the point with fire and sword.
Character 04
Antonia
Initiate of the Seven Mothers, Ancestor Worshipper
Adiutor, Antelope Lancers
Antonia is a strange individual born among the sable people of the Hungry Plateau. She has proven an excellent Lancer, but she longs to return to her native highlands. She is the only member of the group who speaks Praxian.
The Troopers
Character 05
Poleus
Trooper, Antelope Lancers
Initiate of the Seven Mothers
Poleus is loud-mouthed but obedient.
Character 06
Sidus
Trooper, attached from Zebra Riders
Initiate of the Seven Mothers (Danfive Xaron)
Sidus is not an Antelope Lancer but is from another Lunar cavalry unit, drafted into Pavis as a Zebra Rider in an attempt to tidy up the slovenly ranks of that force. As a show of piety, Sidus has sworn never to accept the Heal spell.
Character 07
Cormanius
Trooper, Antelope Lancers
Initiate of the Seven Mothers
A steady trooper of the Antelope Lancers, reliable in the saddle and in the line.
Combat Reference
Reference 08
Average Sable Antelope Mounts
Cavalry Horses — Hit Locations, Weapons & Combat Statistics
All horses ridden by the Lunar party are average examples of the sable antelope, clearly branded with the mark of the Marble Phalanx. They are well-trained cavalry mounts, capable of a charge, a kick, and a butt attack, and carry their riders’ lances, water skins, and gear on campaign.
