===Factions===

====House Teknes====
[[File:Teknes Crest.png|right|thumb|100px|House Teknes]]
Hailing from the southernmost kingdom called Felskar, Teknes invested most of it's efforts into magic and science which resulted in a heavily industrialized race, although it leans more towards the 1900's than 1800's in it's steampunky vibe. 

Although technically a republic, there is hints of a communist regime which employs brainwashing and forced labor. Many Teknes humans have become diminunitive gnome-like men who ride the laborer class like beasts of burden or sit in vehicles, while more normal sized men use power armor. Teknes folk are usually stocky and have a definite British dock thug look to them. Rather than firearms the Teknes use standard weapons like sledgehammers, sword and shield, and spears. 
Teknes have transmutative magitek with some men given the strengths and appearance of animals, while some are actually animals uplifted into the human race. 

Their playstyle relies on disposable troops who when damaged will give you better offensive abilities. This results in a playstyle based on defense and calculated risk with lots of support and synergy between models.

====House Hadross====
[[File:Hadross Crest.png|right|thumb|100px|House Hadross]]
The kingdom of Hadross is named after the ruling house, and although they control land the population mostly lies under the waves in multi-level buildings that resemble giant blue sea plants stretching from the ocean floor to their top levels above the water surface.

The scion king gave his people over to ancient gods known as the Deep Voices, which turned them into human/aquatic creature hybrids. Hadrossians can live above the water but it is uncomfortable and thus not desirable. Most Hadross are Servidians, which are humans (who still give birth to regular humans that later mutate, meaning they still have normal sexual characteristics as /tg/ reasoned) who have jellyfish style legs and tentacle hair or mouths, although crustacean and shark men are also present and other varieties may exist as well. Most have normal human arms and hands. It isn't quite clear on each Hadrossian which parts are of their body, and which are clothing. 

Hadross is a highly defensive army, with the strongest base models although each casualty weakens the group. They entirely ignore water terrain difficulty and can actually add more to the battlefield to control the movements of their enemy. 
* Ooroth is their "main character", featured the most in the Hadross lore. He has also become the primary popular character and posterboy of Wrath of Kings on /tg/. Ooroth is the closest living being to the Deep Voices, although he hides it from his fellows so he doesn't get forced into the priest-class. He enjoys his status as a mere bodyguard to the Hadross diplomat above the waves despite the discomfort to his skin. The Servidian has a fondness for the women of other nations, and is often rebuked by their extremely racist reactions leading him to rebuild his confidence in a bar.

====House Nasier====
[[File:Nasier Crest.png|right|thumb|100px|House Nasier]]
The kingdom of Nasier is in Kartoresh, a kingdom of plains and grassland rich in natural resources. 

The people of Nasier worship the very elemental gods banished by the Ancient King, and would see them returned to the world. The Nasier channel elemental magic into their bodies using masks which contain elemental spirits, and have possibly the strongest mastery of magic itself in the setting. With the fulfillment of their goals they will become the ruling cast under the elementals, and although bound in noble servitude they would still be far more powerful than any king would be otherwise. 

The ordinary footmen of the Nasier called Pelagarth wear masks that make their skin like stone, and prefer to fight almost naked while they vent their fury. Others called Ashmen use their masks to enhance their combat prowess and wear light armored coverings. Still others have used the magic of the elementals to become elemental hybrids with massive powerful bodies and horns. The humans themselves tend towards extremely stocky bodies that combine muscle and fat, or lithe and tall shapes.

Nasier troops are individually very powerful, second only to Hadross, and have a high morale as well as many offensive abilities. Despite this they are not a "run in, don't think" army as their lack of control or synergy abilities makes players need to evaluate their targets; obliterate a specific foe, or bait the enemy into a desperate gamble counterattack? 

Nasier is actually an Arabic name meaning "protector", and many have noted the possible Persian or Sikh influences in their design.

====House Shael Han====
[[File:Shael Han Crest.png|right|thumb|100px|House Shael Han]]
Set in the wealthy land of Achrion, Shael Han have a complex caste-based society based on their reverence of the way of the Ancient King and the celestial gods as well as the pursuit of perfection. The scion queen was the only one of the scions to be present at the deathbed of the Ancient King and supposedly was privy to his last words and desires. 

Shael Han are very Asian-inspired in look and theme. Their advancement combines the trait of sharing a body with an ethereal being of the Nasier with the technological advancement of the Teknes, although they live in closer harmony as one mind with their spirits and their gear is more focused and elegant. Wraths are the class of humans who cohabit with a spirit, and have grown much larger as well as having pronounced tusk-like bottom teeth which curve sideways as well as having pointed ears. Shael Han also tames serpentine dragons, with smaller ones being pets and larger ones being mounts.

Shael Han have extremely weak models that are fully bolstered by their specialist abilities. The specialists are easy to kill, but with them around everything else of yours isn't. Without switching lists you can employ completely different strategies and tactics, forcing players to react to you or being able to adapt without being unprepared.

====House Goritsi====
[[File:Goritsi Crest.png|right|thumb|100px|House Goritsi]]
The kingdom of Goritsi is Telloria, a forest kingdom with high canopies that block the sunlight in much of the land. 
Some unknown force can enter into those who are powerful or of noble blood; this Gift transforms the recipient into a powerful and ageless being. Men are usually granted lycanthropy, females vampirism, although it is only uncommon for the opposite gender rather than impossible which is why there are a few female werewolves and male vampires. 

Goritsi is very hierarchical and organized into septs that are loyal to the Goritsi house, with those given the Gift being responsible only to the courts of their fellows while the ordinary folk have virtually no rights. Come nightfall the commonfolk seal themselves away to hide and pray their own rulers don't decide to come to their door and test the lock. Goritsi also employs massive monsters called Blood Engines made of flesh which drain the blood and life energy of their foes to empower themselves. 
Telloria's many mountains once held a tribe of amazon warriors in the days before the Ancient King, and they are the originators of the exclusively female vampire warrior caste. While most kingdoms see the war as an eventuality, or a sad requirement for them to pass their superior culture onto others, Goritsi revels in the slaughter and was instrumental in kickstarting the conflict in the first place. The werewolves are less interested in war itself, and are more often recruited to clean up the messes of the vampires and defend the homeland, at least until they get enough of a taste for blood to reinterpret “defense” as “run amok alomg the borders”. 

Goritsi are fast killers, although if they can't finish off a foe before it gets a chance to strike back they usually don't survive the fight so hit and run attacks are the best way to go. Werewolves are the faster options, vampires the killier, and their big nasty will keep their foes in place so they can get their licks in.

====Neutral Parties====

Several neutral characters exist in the game in addition to those in the five kingdoms. Most were only available through the initial Kickstarter, but are not yet rare on the secondary market.
* Twilight Knight, in a crossover with [[Kingdom Death]], is a neutral character who can be fielded by all factions.
* Iron Eyes is a noblewoman of the Goritsi and master assassin/saboteur who refuses the Gift of vampirism, although her eyes turn black when she's full of adrenaline. She was sent away due to her dishonor and has taken the opportunity to become a mercenary for all sides in the war.
* The Ancient King himself has a miniature. He has no real rules for competitive play, and his suggested rules are...absolutely fucking overpowered. In addition to absolutely ludicrous stats he 1-hit kills anything he attacks through magic or melee, cannot be targeted by attacks or abilities, and causes the opponent to lose 20 points of morale each round. Fucking ''wow...''
