ACD Exclusive: DARK AGE! Starter sets, miniatures, faction decks and more!

Coming Soon!
When the massive financial engines of the United Worlds collapsed the fringe planets were abandoned almost immediately. The world which would become known as Samaria had never even been officially colonized. Instead it was used as a site for many illegal experiments and working practices or the testing of those discoveries that the mega-corporations wished to keep hidden from their competitors. When the time came it was abandoned without a thought. Only the most important individuals were evacuated before the supplies from off-world were cut off. Of the people left behind those with the greatest will to endure lived, whilst most others died within months. From the survivors arose a new society, one that called itself The Forsaken.

Abandoned for centuries, these industrial machines have achieved sentience in the darkness and are now venturing onto the wastelands. Enigmatic, adaptive, and sometimes malevolent, what can only be described as a new species is tentatively stretching its wings. Pathfinders, Menial Bots and the Rend have emerged to study the other remnants of Samaria; a curiosity often fatal for the subjects!

Millennia before humans discovered Samaria other space-faring colonists settled upon this unforgiving world. Miners from the Alteghran Empire explored the deep caves and catacombs, extracting the strange crystals that grew there. When an asteroid struck the planet those Alteghrans who survived found them trapped on a planet turned stormy and hostile. Seeking shelter they retreated deep underground. There they have remained - until recently.

Following the reconstruction of their civilization in the caves the Dragyri were ruled by The Great Arbiter, a figure who’s skill in combat and power of Focus have never been matched. Upon his death the War of Ascension tore the Dragyri apart, leaving a sundered society. Today the clans are ruled by powerful Spirit Lords, each of which is subservient only to the Arbiter of their Caste. As their society has recovered from the costly civil war they have begun to explore above ground once more, only to discover it is now inhabited by a race they call Those-Without-Honor.

In the mysterious swampland known as the Blackmire, scientists from a United Worlds corporation worked in secret on terrible living weapons. When the UW economy collapsed only the most successful samples were loaded from transport off world. The rest were unceremoniously dumped into the swamp. Most died; one did not.

The creature that was to become the Brood Mere had been designed to be capable of locating and communicating with soldiers across a battlefield. Now she sought out two of the other prototypes, nicknamed Helexa and Mean Jellybean, with whom she had developed a close bond.

Meanwhile outside the fertile swamp-waters seethed with dumped bio-matter. New creatures sprang into life, then died and sank into the primordial stew, only to be recycled into new life forms. The telepathic Mere felt the pain of every birth, and the loss of each death. Driven mad she fled into the marsh, merging herself with the great spawning pool and taking control of it. From that point on she was able to use the pool as a womb, creating children to her own specifications. The Brood were born. Whilst other races must master technology the Brood can simply evolve new creatures, perfectly suited to the task in hand. For the Mere teaches them all the same doctrine; to prepare for the return of the human “creator gods” who abandoned them long ago, then to sweep from the swamps and destroy them.

Millennia ago the ancient Mayans of Terra where chosen by their god and master, the winged serpent Kukulkan, to be elevated above the lowly tribes of the world. Their master, in reality a member of the powerful and technologically advanced Coatl race, lifted his willing servants up and has, over millennia, shaped them into a race of bio-enhanced warriors and zealous priests, eager to gain his blessing by slaying all those who would oppose his will.

Now Kukulkan has set his sights on Samaria, following mysterious energy reading mimicking the Coatl’s own entropic power sources only to find their holy technologies bastardized by the lifeless machines of the CORE. This blasphemous act, coupled with an ancient grudge against the Alteghrans, the forebears of the Dragyri, have unleashed the full might of the Kukulkani upon all of Samaria.

Unlike the other powerful factions of Samaria, the Outcasts have no powerful leaders able to raise armies in times of war but this is just the way they like it. Life among the Outcasts is tough and every one of them is a true survivor. Strength is the currency by which they claim their meager possessions and weakness their only crime – one punishable by death from the innumerable hazards that surround them. Each one relies upon himself first, his gang second and no other, and the constant inter-tribal raids and blood feuds makes organizing them to any large extent almost impossible. Occasionally one will find an item of technology, looted from a long abandoned structure or vehicle, that elevates him above his peers, but only for so long as it keep working and he remains tough enough to hold onto it.

When the rediscovery of religion swept Samaria like wildfire, those who failed to embrace the new theocracy soon found themselves pushed out. Forced together into a ragged mass of heretics and unbelievers they quickly realized they faced a lifetime of persecution. Unwilling to accept this, and lacking the strength to oppose the budding church, they fled north into the desert known as the Great Expanse.

Long ago, in the days of the United Worlds, this area was home to many laboratories and factories where chemicals were designed for military use. The refugees were unlucky to stumble upon one of them and unleash the mutagens still stored inside. This single event was their undoing - and their remaking. The mutations which came about as a result have made them powerful, but also inhumanly mad and savage.
