Axgaleth
TABLE OF CONTENTS
DESCRIPTION
Axgaleth was once a valiant elf, who won numerous battles and defended his people, the habitants of Valeer, from many hazards.
One day, she decided to travel to Kraan in search of an ancient relic from the time when that continent was the battleground of the ancient Kumerian and Taw Empires.
She traveled into a rocky cavity and encountered a temple dedicated to an old deity, known as Dakna, the mother of the Kumerians.
It is unclear what happened in that temple, but legends tell that she was infected by a mysterious curse. When she returned home, it was too late for her. She became a blood-thirsty monstrosity, that attacks every being she encountered…all to honor its new mistress, Dakna.
The city of Valeer, once protected by queen Axgaleth, was destroyed in one night once the transformation was complete.
This entity killed most of the habitants of the town, moved by an impressive aggression. The few unlucky survivors were converted with the same maleficent curse and became servants of Axgaleth.
She converted the ruined city of Valeer in a new temple for Dakna, dedicated to cruel and bloody sacrifices to the old deity.
The lands around the city were transformed by the correction of the queen and converted in a poisonous swamp,
At the same time, the cities and the lands around Valeer’s region became victims to the attacks of Axgaleth and its army, in constant search of new sacrifices for their mysterious rituals.
TACTICS
