Spotlight: The Beast of the Viridian Corsairs

No. There is only me, there is only my way, there is only the forest, and there is only surrender.

-Over the Garden Wall

In the name of the Old Gods, blood is spilled once more.  In the shoals of this crimson sacrifice come the monstrosities of ancient days; their hooves crack wide the earth, their roars dispel the day and call forth dark storms.

The Beast is but the first of many so-called "forest gods" to awaken from their slumber.  The ravages of the Wizard have called him and his wrath is vast beyond compare.  For the Beast is no kindly forest god, but an angry spirit of yore who demands agony and death - sacrifice beyond compare.  Sacrifice: flesh of maiden and bones of the enemy - the Viridian Corsairs are gleeful to provide.

Spotlight: Sadface, the Fellcrafted Chimeric

Satan had his companions, fellow devils, to admire and encourage him, but I am solitary and abhorred.

-Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley

The Wizard lacks resources and thus is unable to craft the battle-automata and servitors typical of his kind.  But he has not let his sere circumstances deter him - setting upon the flesh of those he has captured, he has created terrible Chimerics: blasphemous meldings of human and animal DNA, augmented with cybernetics.  These pitiful creatures are forced to be obedient through mind-links; they live their life in constant agony, venting their terrible hatred on the world as though it were the creator which so twisted them.

Spotlight: Loamhedge Renegade Badger Paladin

I am that is, my sword shall wield for me.

-Redwall, by Brian Jacques

The Badgers of the Loamhedge Renegades are the largest and most ferocious of warriors.  Most of they remained with the Abbey after the schism, but a few recognized "loyalty" as something more personal than fighting for a pile of bricks and mortar.

Endless Whispers: Magic

Magick is the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with will.

-The Book of the Law, by Aleister Crowley

Mages are allowed in the Endless Whispers Campaign, but they use a modified set of spells since, for example, Arcane Bolt is too powerful.  Wizards roll their spells randomly from the below table.

Welcome to hell, little Saint
Mother Gaia in slaughter
Welcome to paradise, Soldier

-Planet Hell, by Nightwish

The Viridian Corsair Hellions aid their sisters by feeding off of their rage.  They channel this energy into their magical bows - called Silverflame Arcs.
