[[Image:Dragonskyrim.jpg|thumb|400px|right]] by Lolpwnt In ancient times, the skies of the North were ruled by the great Dragons, the Dov, immortal sons of the time-god Akatosh, who had lived eternal from before the creation of the world. The Dragons appear to mortals as winged creatures of incredible majesty, yet their power is far beyond their mere physical strength. Each Dragon is imbued with the very power of the gods themselves in its breath- the power of the Thu'um. For whatsoever a Dragon speaks aloud in its language, it speaks in royalty, and that very thing beckons to the command of its tongue. Mortals know this ancient power as the Voice, for those men who are born with the blood and soul of a Dragon may likewise master the Thu'um. The Dragons are truly eternal, for their souls come from before the creation of time itself. They cannot comprehend the concept of mortality. Should a Dragon be slain, it may be brought back with a powerful enough Thu'um. Dragons alone hold the power to slay their own kind: for should one Dragon defeat another, it steals the power of the vanquished one's soul, and banishes its foe from the world forever. It is the nature of a Dragon to dominate all life. Thus it came to pass in that at the height of their power, the Dragons sought to make all mankind their slaves, to one day feast upon their souls and devour all the world 'til it be created anew. The early men submitted to the Dragons, and worshiped them as gods. Great temples and barrows were built by mortal hands to their glory. But those ages are long gone, for great heroes of man arose, and stole the power of the Thu'um from the Dragons to do battle with them. One by one the Dragons were slain, until but a few remained. The great barrows still stand, haunted by the Draugr, or Wights, the restless long-dead remains of the damned who once bowed down to the Dragons in awe. But the time of dragons comes again. For thus it is prophesied in the Elder Scrolls, and thus it is sung in the Song of the Dragonborn: "And the scrolls have foretold, Of black wings in the cold, That when brothers wage war come unfurled! Alduin bane of kings, Ancient shadow unbound, With a hunger to swallow the world!" This book provides rules to field armies of Dragons and their undead worshipers in games of [[Scrollhammer]]. [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2807855032 Mod to play them in Tabletop Simulator] ==The Power of the Thu'um== The use of the Thu'um, the Dragon Shout, or the Voice is devastating weapon. The power of the Dragons who wield it is to rule the world; whatsoever they command, should it be unleashed in the correct time and manner, it is so. An individual Shout consists of certain words in the ancient language of the Dragons, expressing the ideas to be commanded, and given power through the divine power of the Dragon's soul.When a pair of Dragons debate, they grant their claims power and form through their Thu'ums. When a Dragon breathes fire upon his foes, he breathes the Draconic word for Fire in a Thu'um. Certain undead who had learned the Thu'um in life, after its gift had been granted to mortals, speak it in death too. The following is a list of common Dragon Shouts that are used in Scrollhammer: http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Scrollhammer_Rulebook#List_of_Shouts. In addition to these, the following Shouts are also used in this army list: '''REL DU'UL IN!''' - Dominate - Crown - Master - ''Dominate'': The Dragon commands a lesser being to do its bidding. An implacable compulsion overwhelms its foe, as the Thu'um drains his willpower and bends his knee. This Shout may be activated at the beginning of the Fight sub-phase during the Close Combat phase. Choose a model other than a Dragon or a Physical God within 6" of user. That model makes an Leadership test on its own value. If it fails, Command that model during this round of combat. Cooldown 2(Cooldown 1 for Dragons). '''MIRAAD AAK WUNDUN!''' - Doorway - Guide - Travel - ''Teleport'': The Dragon summons a fey portal across the field of battle, which it sucks itself through in a burst of wind and flame. At first it is a mile from its foes: in an instant, it is upon them. This shout may activated during your movement phase. Instead of moving this phase, place user in any legal location within 36" of his current location. Roll a scatter die and 2d6 to determine scatter, exactly as if the user just used Deep Strike. This Shout may be used to remove user from combat. Cooldown 3. ==Army List== This set of rules will allow one to field an army of Dragons or the undead who served them in life, or a mix of both. The "Dragons" section provides rules for fielding all types of Dragons, which appear in a variety of places in the army list. The other sections provide rules for the undead who dwell within the dark barrows of Skyrim, awaiting the return of their masters. ===Overview=== The following is an outline for armies using this book: Heroes: Dragon(Greater and Lesser), Elder Dragon(0-1), Dragon Priest, Draugr Deathlord, Draugr Scourge. Special Characters: Alduin World-Eater, High Priests of the Dragon Cult. Core: Draugr, Skeletons, Dragon(Lesser)(0-2 per Hero choice Dragon). Elite: Draugr Wights, Spectral Draugr, Dragons(Greater and Lesser)(may only be taken if at least one Dragon of equal or greater rank takes up a hero slot). Support: Skeletal Dragons, Dragon Cultists, Wisps, Ice Wraiths. ===Dragons=== The mighty Dragons come in many shapes and sizes. Though all are beyond ancient, the wisdom or strength of some exceeds that of others. Dragons may be taken as Hero choices, and for each one taken as a hero choice, 0-2 Lesser Dragons may be fielded as Core units. If a Dragon is taken as a Hero choice, Greater and/or Lesser Dragons (of equal or lesser rank to the most powerful hero choice Dragon) may take up Elite slots. The ranks of Dragons are as follows: Alduin World-Eater > Ancient Dragon > Elder Dragon > Greater Dragon > Lesser Dragon. ====Elder Dragon==== The mightiest of the Dragons are those whose Thu'ums are the strongest. The Elder Dragons hold the power of demigods in their breath, and their fire-colored scales are all but immune to the blows of mortals. Such Dragons are among the most deadly creatures in existence, crushing houses beneath their feet, and swallowing renowned heroes whole. An Elder Dragon costs 265pts. An Ancient Dragon costs 315pts. 50mm x 100mm base. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! WS ! BS ! S ! T ! W ! I ! A ! Ld ! Mg !

A Lesser Dragon costs 150 pts. 50mm x 100mm base. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! WS ! BS ! S ! T ! W ! I ! A ! Ld ! Mg !

Members of this order served as a priesthood to to the Dragons, mediating between them and mortal men. Great power they held in the number of mankind, and great ceremonies they performed for the honor of their masters, or for the mummification and burial of the dead. Upon the defeat of the Dragons, they fled with their most loyal retainers to construct burial mounds in the honor of their fallen masters. They continued the Dragon's war, against their fellow mortals, until but few remained. This remainder transformed themselves into liches, preserving themselves with a bitter immortality, to guard the ancient tombs, and await the return of their masters.

Mummified and entombed after their deaths in the great barrows, their bodies are preserved for eternity, cursed with blasphemous unlife. When Man rebelled against Dragon, the great lords who remained loyal to their masters became schooled in the Thu'um themselves. Tyrants of later eras were oft entombed with the ancients as well.

And within the windswept barrows, tens of thousands more sleep embalmed, awaiting a foolish fortune-hunter to awaken them and meet his death. '''Core''' Draugr cost 4pts/model.

With a foul ritual, the Dragon Priests call up a creature they once worshiped, in a form little worthy of its former glory. Though it be but a flightless shadow of a true Dragon, a Skeletal Dragon is nevertheless a force of destruction upon the battlefield, well-deserving a respectful fear. '''Support''' A Skeletal Dragon costs 85pts. 50mm x 100mm base. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! WS ! BS ! S ! T ! W ! I ! A ! Ld ! Mg !

'''Support''' Each Dragon Cultist costs 10pts/model. 5-20 Dragon Cultists may be fielded as a single unit. 25mm x 25mm base. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! WS ! BS ! S ! T ! W ! I ! A ! Ld ! Mg !

'''Wargear''': Dragon Cultists carry an Ancient Nordic Dagger, and wear Ancient Nordic Armor. '''Spells''': Dragon Cultists know either Flames or Frostbite. ====Wisps==== Among the legends of the rugged mountains of the Northlands is that of the Wispmother. In the flickering light of the sunset, between the great peaks of the North, there are found small Wisps, silver shimmers in the air. Travelers lured by the Wisps follow them through the snow and the valleys, to the Wispmother, a queen of ice, a phantom maiden dressed in silver robes. The Wispmother casts a dreaded curse upon these fools, freezing them to death with icy winds. '''Support''' Each Wispmother costs 100pts, and each Wisp costs 5 pts. 1 Wispmother, and 3-15 Wisps, may be fielded as a single support unit choice. 25mm x 25mm base(Wisp). 40mm x 40mm base(Wispmother). {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! WS ! BS ! S ! T ! W ! I ! A ! Ld ! Mg ! Sv |- | Wispmother | 3 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 5 | 0 | 10 | 6 | -/4++ |- | Wisp | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 1 | 4 | 3 | - |} '''Special rules''': Skirmish, Infantry, Frost Spirits. Wispmothers have Regeneration (6+). Wispbond: At the beginning of your turn, if the Wispmother is not locked in combat you may attempt to replace each fallen Wisp with a new Wisp. For each fallen Wisp, roll a d6. On a 5+, place it in a legal location in Wispmother's unit. Each time a Wisp is slain, its Wispmother takes a S2 hit, no saves allowed. If the Wispmother is slain, all the Wisps are slain as well. Shades: A Wispmother flows outwards with silvery frost, trailing like wind. Each trail of frost manifests itself as phantom images, each appearing like the Wispmother herself. Wispmothers have a 4+ Ward Save. Hoarfrost Cloak: Enemies in base contact with a Wispmother strike at Initiative 1, and take a S4AP5 hit at the beginning of each round of combat. Fey Siphoning: Wisps drain the life of their enemies when commanded to do so by the Wispmother. Wisps wound automatically, regardless of toughness. Glimmers in the Trees: Wisps and the Wispmother may be deployed after all regular deployment has occurred, as well as any Infiltrate deployment and Scout redeployment. If this option is taken, deploy each model as a separate unit. Wisps(but not the Wispmother) using this rule may be placed anywhere on the battlefield, other than less than 1" from an enemy unit, or less than 6" from another Wisp from the same source unit. The Wispmother still takes hits from and later revives fallen Wisps(as additions to her unit), despite them being separate. If a sub-unit of any size is ever within 2" of another from the same source unit, it is immediately merged and treated as a single unit for the remainder of the game. Each enemy unit may use Split Fire once per shooting phase against Wisps, with the model splitting fire targeting any unit he can shoot at that consists of a single Wisp. '''Wargear''': Neither Wisps nor Wispmothers carry any wargear. '''Spells''': Wispmothers know Ice Storm. ====Ice Wraiths==== In the frozen heart of Skyrim's wilds dwell fierce and cruel spirits of snow, their icicle fangs sharp as swords: the Ice Wraiths. The Ice Wraiths have preyed upon the Nords since before the dawn of recorded history, bringing swift and icy death to those who would ventured forth unprepared. Driving back their predations has long been a martial tradition of Skyrim; slaying one is a rite of passage into manhood in some villages, and is widely considered a sign of worthwhile prowess in a warrior. A defeated Ice Wraith expels its magicka in liquid form: this bitter cold draught protects the drinker from the frostbite induced by the Wraith's heartstopping breath. '''Support''' Each Ice Wraith costs 25 pts. 2-15 Ice Wraiths may be fielded as a single support unit choice. 25mm x 25mm base. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! WS ! BS ! S ! T ! W ! I ! A ! Ld ! Mg !

Its inhabitants were born, and they lived, loved and died. For millennia they toiled, and built up great civilizations. In their halls they sang tales of glorious heroes to feasts of wine and boar. But their doom was already sealed. For Alduin came forth, mightiest of the Dragons, and glutted himself upon the souls of the living and the dead, swallowing the world with his Thu'um. Thus was the ending of the First Kalpa. And so it came to pass that every world, every one of the many hundred beautiful creations of the gods, was consumed, turned into nothingness, and forgotten, all before the dawn of time. For Alduin is eternal, an aspect of time itself, the final Doom of all mortals. Alduin led the Dragons into the present Kalpa, and watched as the newborn races of mortals grew. All the wisdom of the present world was his to ruminate upon, but to his proud Eternity, the lives of mortals meant nothing but the antics of fools fast approaching their doom. The race of men raised great temples to Alduin, bowing before the one who would consume them. The elves denied this fate, believing themselves gods, but mankind trembled at the true knowledge of the end of all things. And then, when all was lost, an unforeseen event transpired. Alduin, ruler of Dragons and Men, was betrayed by his most trusted brother, who let Man steal the Thu'um from the Lords of the Sky. With the power of the Thu'um, Man rebelled, and with the power of the Scrolls, cast him out his father's domain: Time itself. From this prison, the Firstborn of Akatosh sought revenge upon Mankind. Though an impotent force in the world of mortals, he mustered what strength he had to ally with the god Orkey. Together, the two gods reversed the course of time, turning all mankind back into children that they might be soon perish. But Shor, God of Nirn, did battle with Alduin in the land of the dead. In this battle, he demonstrated his Thu'um to the Dragonborn hero Wulfharth, who sacrificed himself to reverse the curse. Alduin was defeated again. By a Scroll was Alduin banished from Time, and by a Scroll he is prophesied to return. The day swift approaches, when the Time-Eater shall once more come to rule all Nirn. The kingdoms of men shall fall before the dawn of the Dragons, and at the very end of time, the mists of Aetherius and the fires of Oblivion shall offer up their dead. And all shall be plunged into everlasting nothingness, their lives and histories made futile as another doomed Kalpa is born from their ashes. '''Support''' Alduin costs 635pts. Alduin is taken as a Hero choice. An army that contains Alduin may take any number of Lesser Dragons as Core choices, and may take multiple Elder Dragons. Elder Dragons(but not Ancient Dragons) may be taken as Elite choices. 125mm x 125mm base. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name ! WS ! BS ! S ! T ! W ! I ! A ! Ld ! Mg ! Sv |- | Alduin | 4 | 4 | 8 | 8 | 7 | 4 | 5 | 10 | 0 | 1+ |} '''Special rules''': Skirmish, Monstrous Creature, Flyer, Dragon, Character. Swath of Destruction: (see the rules for Elder Dragons) The Eternal: Alduin is a Physical God. However, he does not get any extra abilities from this status. Strongest of the Thu'ums: Alduin's Shouts (that have a cooldown number) have -1 to their cooldowns, to a minimum of 1(the normal cooldown of the Shout is still the same for calculation purposes). Alduin gets +1 to his roll when using or being targeted by Swallow Shout. His Fire Breath Shout strikes with +2 Strength. '''Wargear''': Alduin's spined, shadow-black scales contain the power of countless aeons, the strength of the innumerable souls he has devoured. Alduin has a 1+ armor save(a roll of 1 still fails) and a 6+ Ward Save. Alduin's close combat attacks have the ''Critical Strike'' ability. '''Shouts''': Alduin knows all the Shouts in this book and in the Scrollhammer Rulebook. Alduin has two unique Shouts: Alduin's Roar- Meteor Storm: Alduin unleashes a roar of incredible power, and within it a Thu'um only comprehensible to himself. He calls upon the heavens themselves, cracking them open and unleashing a flood of molten slag upon his foes. This Shout may be activated during your movement phase. Weather effect. Until the beginning of your next turn, at the start of every phase, roll a d6 for each enemy unit within 18" of Alduin. On a 4+, place a Blast marker on that unit(even if Alduin cannot see it). Roll to hit with a scatter die and a single d6, but not subtracting Alduin's ballistic skill. For each model completely or partially under the marker, a S6AP1 flame hit is scored against that unit. Cover saves are taken as if the attack was coming from directly above, and area terrain is not enough to grant a save! Units completely obscured from directly above do not have to roll to see if they are hit, and nor does Alduin. Cooldown 4(3). SLEN TIID VO- Resurrect: Alduin commands the flesh of a fallen Dragon to re-form, once more imbuing it with its eternal soul to do battle for him. It is by this means that the Dragons remain truly immortal. If Alduin is in your army, mark the location of all slain Dragons or Skeletal Dragons in your army. Resurrect may be used during your movement phase. Return a slain Dragon whose marker is within 6" of Alduin to the battlefield, fully healed. A slain Skeletal Dragon returns to the battlefield as a Lesser Dragon with no upgrades. The resurrected model may move this turn, but may not shoot or charge. If, however, an enemy Dragon or Dragonborn gets within 6" of the marker first, it is removed- the Dragon cannot be resurrected! Cooldown 5(4) ====High Priests of the Dragon Cult==== At the heart of the vast city that would one day be known as Labyrinthian, there once lay a citadel known as Bromjunaar. Within this chamber, the High Priests of the Dragon Cult met and sat upon their thrones, ruling over ancient Man. Cruel-hearted and proud, this council made prayers to the Dragons for gifts: they were granted immortal, indestructible masks, existing both in and out of time. With these eternal masks concealing their faces, they invoked great power, and ruled Man with an iron fist until the time of rebellion. It was then they fled, and became liches of incredible power, hiding in the shadows, awaiting the time when they might once more conquer the North and hail their winged masters. 0-1 Dragons Priests in your army may be replaced by one of the eight High Priests: Hevnoraak, Krosis, Morokei, Nahkriin, Otar the Mad, Rahgot, Vokun or Volsung.
