RACIAL SKILLS :
The Warp - Can change any units in into chaos warriors
by throwing them into the warp for a small price.
BRIEF HISTORY :
THE ORIGINS
Same as the Falcon Empire up to the WARS OF FIRE:
38 YSD: The Beginning
The land is consumed in the Wars of Fire; General Malcolm is one of the most respected generals of his time leading an army of over a 1000 strong. After saving a town that is being pillaged by the demons, the survivors thank the men. As the festivities continue, an old woman approaches him and presses into his hand an amulet, and a note. He observes the amulet and when he looks up the old women is gone. The note reads, in a time of great need use this amulet, never use it to destroy only to protect….
39 YSD: The Tragedy
General Malcolm follows these rules, and while the war draws to an end, the demons attacks become less and less frequent, giving no opportunity to use the amulet in defense. As the last of the demons are fleeing the Falcon Empire, Malcolm’s cousin is brutally killed in combat with the demons. Filled with rage he attacks a host of retreating demons and unleashes the power of the amulet. The whole battlefield is filled with fire, incinerating all the foes. But there were dire consequences, the soldiers were mutated, souls ripped out, and skin ripped from their bones. Malcolm was no exception and was mutated behind belief. The army disappears from known existence.
40 YSD: Forgotten
The War of Fire end, and the army is declared dead, the Lords of the Falcon Empire declare him and his army were ambushed and killed while pursuing enemy demons. Little do they know malice can not be hidden forever.
MODERN AGES
40 – 843 YSD: The Second Beginning
The army continues to find a place to settle, Malcolm finds that his men follow him with more loyalty then ever before, never questioning his motives to slaughter villages in his rage, it’s if they have the same rage built up inside them. They eventually settle down in a huge chamber discovered under the small chain of mountains known as the Mountains of Peril. They begin to build their capitol and only city, as the Griffin Empire is fighting the demons they complete the city, they call it The Warp Portal.
900 YSD: First Defeat
The Warps armies grow massive in size, but still they hide under their mountain. It is soon apparent that Malcolm can no longer hold his armies without civil wars and fights breaking out. He unleashes his horde upon the land, they capture as many prisnors as they can from nearby villages and lands. They then throw them into the warp portal to join their hordes. The Griffin Empire can not stand for this and sends a mighty army to confront hordes of the Warp. They meet in a bloody clash of armies and many soldiers and monsters die. But the armies of the Warp are repelled. Malcolm manages to escape the fighting wounded badly. He makes his way to the Warp Portal and here he regains his strength.
903 YSD: Rebuilding
Malcolm is fully healed and he begins building his armies again for a second attack. This time he is even more bent on revenge, the Griffin Empire continues on in peace thinking he was killed in the bloody battle that took place a couple years ago.
969 YSD: Second Trials
The unseen eclipse settles over the land and all heck breaks loose. Seeing this as a time to take their revenge, Malcolm leads his armies from the Mountains of Peril and attacks the forces of the Griffin Empire. The men don't see it coming and many are slaughtered. The Griffen Empire is loosing strength from the constant attacks from the Demons, Undead, and the forces of chaos. No one can forsee what will become of the Griffin Empire.

VERY nice town, VERY good concept, VERY good dwellings. I like this very much so far. This is an interesting town. The history could be widened.
VERY good unit names, and Dwelling names. I really like those. But. The Chaos got over-repetive at the start. Maybe change Chaos (War) Chariot to...
Abyss Chariot - Abyss Covinus
Since this is a roman word, I don't know how it will fit. I think it had something to do with the Britannian tribes and their chariots. If I remember correctly, Covinus was the word for the Britannian tribes' war-chariots.
Or you could try...
Abyss Chariot - Abyss Trigae (a Roman word for a 3-horse chariot)
Abyss Chariot - Abyss Essedum (also a Roman word for Britannian War Chariots if my memory serves)
That's about it
You're more than welcome to read and post comments and/or suggestions in my ITIC thread.

I like this town but it reminds me very much of Warhammer's chaos theme.

I have to say that Warhammer is also... sci-fi... ergo... no chariots in Warhammer Chaos Marines...

Nice concept like said above, only I dislike the dark paladin since it's not logic to have a paladin to be dark. It ain't a paladin anymore.

I agree.. the 'Blackguard' would seem a more traditional but also more appropriate name.

I also vote Blackguard. Though Dark Paladin is also quite suiting.

:Shuffles feet:
I tend to set un-realistic goals, actually I have been working on this town a lot in word before I posted it..
But really, my goals are not un-realistic, someday I will beat the Easter Bunny in a one on one dogfight with the Red baron! LOL!
