Oathmark - Battlesworn

A supplement for Oathmark: Battles of the Lost Age, this book gives players rules for creating elite units of warriors known as battlesworn and charting their progress from battle to battle.

In the horror and chaos of war, the outcome can often hinge on the briefest of moments. It’s in these times that the actions of one unit can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Wise kings understand this - they know to hold back their best warriors until the moment when they can make the greatest impact.

These elite units, called the battlesworn, are more than powerful combatants - they are symbols of glory and honour, embodying the pride of their kingdoms. All young warriors dream of joining their ranks and adding their oathmarks beside those of these legendary fighters.

This supplement contains rules for adding elite units to your armies and tracking their growth through successive battles. Will they gain fame and strength as their renown spreads, or will they fall in the face of overwhelming odds - perhaps to be reborn when their kingdom needs them most?

Also included are rules for rivers and boats, as well as campaign systems with all-new scenarios, giving your battlesworn the chance to lead their kingdom to new heights of power and prestige.
