Description
Fire burns all
From the heart of the Northlands rose Syr Raudraken, titan of the Daemon Horde, so called for the fire-red and doom-black that cloaked his colossal legions. His citadel stood vast as a city, its walls veiled in dread banners, its arms’ yards ringing with the din of combat and the thunder of battle chants.
Upon his banner reared the Red Daemon, fell emblem of domination. And as the fiend struck, so struck Raudraken — attacking relentlessly, never yielding, oft tearing triumph from the jaws of certain vanquishment, defiant against what fate had decreed should be.
The House was long ago bent to the will of the greatest warlord of all, Lord Fearghast. Under his reign a dynasty was forged, and the Red Horde marched from triumph to triumph until their supremacy threatened to unbalance the Realm itself. His shadow endured in Raudraken’s very psyche, every design of the titan still echoing with the warlord’s purpose.
Few Houses in the Realm and beyond could rival his host in number. Wealth spilled almost carelessly from his coffers, yet all this power was only the means — glory was the end.
Even so, for all its might, House Raudraken drank deep of sorrow and humiliation. Tragic shipwrecks, failed harvests, and bitter falls scarred its tale — but always the legend endured. And should destiny not rouse, then Raudraken shook it himself, until glory answered once more.
