GW: Flesh-eater Courts Gorewardens Preview

Ein nobler Seneschal, der in Abwesenheit seines Herren über dessen Ländereien wacht, kommt in Form des Gorewardens für die Flesh-eater Courts in Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

Hail to the Noble Seneschal Who Makes Safe the Borders of His Master’s Kingdom!

Foul forest-daemons and sinister assassins are abroad in the Mortal Realms. In such tumultuous times, it is incumbent upon the munificence of the Summerking to protect his borders and citizens from the barbarians who reave the lands beyond.

This crucial duty is bestowed with great honour upon the Summerking’s most mighty and chivalrous kinsfolk, who are granted the distinguished title of Abhorrant Gorewarden for their stalwart defence of the realm. Stationed in great redoubts at strategic points across the lands, these determined marcher lords are sworn to protect the boundaries of their liege’s kingdom at all costs.

The Gorewardens hold symbolic rings of keys – the ‘keys to the kingdom’, which represent their court-appointed authority over the gates to their lord’s blessed lands. Many also take up the fashion of magnificent ruffs, that mark them like sunbursts as anointed servants of the Summerking.

Some whisper that these devoted margraves pursue their solemn duty with too great a fervency – verging, perhaps, on territorial obsession – but these are mere murmurings of dissent from jealous courtiers, or intruding miscreants soon to be imprisoned in the cells of the Gorewarden’s keep.

It falls to the Gorewardens to roust trespassers, apprehend poachers, and intercept treacherous scouting partiesfrom hostile lands. They rally their swiftest bannermen to meet the task, and these fierce men and women descend upon their quarry as though carried by great wings – the result, surely, of many years spent in the pursuit of their sacred duty.

Fret not, dear friend – you have an invitation, and need not fear the Gorewarden’s gaze. As the date of the great feast draws closer, we shall introduce you to other esteemed members of the royal court.
