Dramatis Personae

No longer will our heroes go to war without a name.
How can the historians commemorate a nameless person.
How can we let their mighty deeds be lost in the fragile memories of Man...
So i beseech you to add your roll of heroes to mine. (you can edit directly to this post)
Lest we forget, thus i shall begin...

The Childtakers
A beastherd of growing renown; haunting the dreams of men and ravaging the countryside...
Gorthmaw Childtaker- Beastlord.
A beastlord of great cunning and the chosen of the Chaos Gods. Slew the Chaos Lord, Kafziel the Warmaster in single combat.
Mourngall- Battle standard bearer Wargor.
Survived a vicious attack by a Hellcannon in combat, tying it up long enough for his attendant Bestigor, The Pilgrims, to destroy it.
Biletooth- Great Bray Shaman.
The other dark figure behind the power of the Childtakers. It was his spells that allowed Gorthmaw to slay the great Warmaster, Kafziel.
Pusbag (dead)- Bray Shaman.
Managed to channel thrice in a battle. Slain by a javelin attack by Marauder Horsemen.
The Pilgrims- Regiment of Renown.
A bestigor unit touched by the powers of Nurgle. Smashed asunder two regiments of Chaos Warriors and a Hellcannon in one battle. Thus have collected 2 Chaos Warrior standards as their trophies. More standards to come...
Bulltars- Regiment of Renown.
A minotaur unit adding their bestial might to the Herd. Together with the Pilgrims, slaughtered 2 Chaos Warrior units, and slew the mighty Chaos Battle Standard Bearer, Antonius.

Clan Ratt
A small Skaven clan, trying to claw its way up to renown, in the Underempire...
Rattus Ratt- Skaven Warlord.
Twittertail- Battle Standard Bearer Chieftain.
Warpgnaw- Clan Skryre Warlock Engineer.
Furrsboo- Clan Pestilens Plague Priest.

The Kingdom of Um
A backwater kingdom in the shifting sands of Khemri that became a satrapy of Lord Settra the Imperishable. It became so rather quickly after being told the terms...
Lord Sappuliuliuma, the Not-So-Imperishable Tomb King. (Slain)
First King of Um, Seated-at-the-Left-Hand-of-the-Sun, appointed in the Hour of Dung.
Slain in short order by Gorthmaw Childtaker, Beastlord of the Childtakers
Lord Iwazzarman, Commander of the Armies That Got Left Behind Tomb King. (Slain)
Usurped King of Um, Seated-facing-the-Sun, appointed in the Hour of the Fruitbat.
Crumbled to dust, courtesy of a pack of ogres and a Regiment of Renown that is yet to be named.
Hikmid, High Priest of Um Liche Priest. (Slain)
Grand Hierophant to Lord Sappuliuliuma, Keeper of the Humps of Multar.
Slain in short order by Regiment of Renown, the Bulltars.

Kunkip Eedup, Low Priest of Um Liche Priest.
Assistant to Eeriktahil Dis Phunkton.

The Kinslayers of the Dark Woods
The Asrai of the Dark Woods are living in self-imposed exile. In the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, a Lord of Change cast a web of deceit over their eyes. They saw their own kin as their foe and strove against them with such fury that the battle seemed lost. At last, the strength of the elves prevailed and day was bitterly won. The veil of blindness was finally lifted from their eyes and the Kinslayers were struck with horror and shame. Despite the pardon granted them, they left the green woods of Athel Loren and crossed over into the Dark Woods. There, they swore an oath to check the threat of Chaos that chose to come over those dread lands. Over the years that passed, many who have wronged their own enter the Dark Woods and join these desperate Asrai, daubing their entire bodies with purple dye as a mark of their shame...
Aidril Hardwood and Imiklav Highborn on Dragon. (Slain)
Slain in short order by ???.
