The Unseelie Host

The Unseelie Host is an adaptation of White Wolf's Changeling RPG for Vor: the Maelstrom. I have taken some liberties with the background, including making them more high tech and more organized. After all, the Unseelie Host is a reflection of the darker side of humanity, even in the future...

The Host of the Shadow Court

The Count

A Count (or Countess) is second only to High King David himself and nominally an independent power in his own right. Occaisonally this personage will attend the field of battle to ensure his war machine is protecting his holdings adequately.

Thanes are commoners who have sworn loyalty to their Nobles. They accompany their Lords to battle, forming bodyguard units to protect their Faerie Masters.

Special Rules

Retinue: Each Thane squad is a retinue of a Noble member of the Unseelie Host, whether Count, Baron, or Knight. The Thanes must maintain squad coherency with their noble and each otheror be out of coherency. Note that Thanes accomanying a Noble with multiple Holdings must maintain coherency within their own squad, not with members of different squads attached to the same Noble.
Unseelie Abilities: Nobles have access to many abilities allowing them them to move, deploy or attack differently than other models. Unless specificall stated in an Ability description, these abilities do NOT apply to the Thanes. Think carefully before a Noble acquires the ability to leave the Thanes behind...

Motleys

Motleys are groups of Changelings that owe no allegiance to anyone or anything but each other. They accompany the rest of the Host through sheer love of mayhem and violence.

Nightmares

Nightmares are the stuff of dreams brought to terrible life. Barely controlled by the Glamour of th Unseelie Nobles, they are a fearsome presence on the battlefield.

Weapons of the Wild Hunt

Protective Glamours
Chimerical armor
Formed from the very stuff of the Dreaming, Chimerical armor offers the Fae adequate protection from both ranged and melee combat. [AR: 3]
Armor Nocturne
From deeper dreams comes darker armor, offering more protection with little loss of sleep.[AR: 4]

Enchanted Swords and such...
Bayonet
An idea from an earlier time, Bayonets may be affixed to rifles or wielded by hand. The first attack with this weapon when the model is charging is at POW:+2, AM:-2. [MP:3 POW:POW+1 AM:-1]
Honor Blade
Traditionally a weapon associated with the Nunnehi, these blades come in a broad variety of styles with essentially similar effects. [MP:3 POW:POW+1 AM:-1]
Sacred Weapon
The enchanted Swords and Spears of the Unseelie Nobles, these weapons are capable of tremendous destruction in the right hands. [MP:3 POW:POW+2 AM:-2]

Hunting Bows and more...
Dream Bombs
Dream bombs are small handheld explosives designed to thwart the enemy by knocking their awareness partly into the Dreaming. Any model hit by a Dream Bomb must make a BRN check or have its available MP reduced by half during its next activation. [MP:5 UPT:1 Range: S:5/+1 M:10/- L:-/- POW:special AM:no test Mode:indirect, 3" blast]

Ravager HMG
