Scrollhammer: Great Houses of Morrowind

The following codex is still in a (very) rough draft, written by Duke. I will periodically update and expand it. Please do not consider anything written here as the final rules: some things may be added, removed or changed. -Lolpwnt

Army List

Types of Lists

There are five Great Houses which in the days of Nerevarine competed for the control of the Land of Ash. Each of the Great Houses has its own personal history, traditions and beliefs. Consequently, each Great House forms its armies from a different combination of the units in this book.

Great House Indoril

At the heart of Morrowind, the far east of Tamriel, lies the great cities of House Indoril. House Indoril owes its name to Indoril Nerevar, the greatest hero of the Dunmer, who led the alliance of Elves and Dwarves against the human King Wulfharth at Red Mountain. House Indoril is steeped in countless millennia-old traditions, providing secular governance where needed in the sacred cities of the Tribunal. Its banners are white, pure as its faith in the God-Kings of Morrowind.

A House Indoril army uses the following list:

Heroes: Noble(Indoril), Warrior Priest.

Core: Ordinators, Temple Priests, Warriors(Indoril), Slaves, Nix Hound Outriders.

Elite: Great House Agents(Indoril), Morag Tong Assassins, Bonewalkers, Silt Strider, 0-1 Holy Orders

Support: Ancestral Ghosts, Bonelords, Siege Strider

A House Indoril army may choose to take Great House Agents as Core. If Great House Agents are taken as Core, Ordinators, Warriors and Nix Hound Outriders must be taken as Elite instead.

Great House Hlaalu

The wealthiest and most influential of the Great Houses is Hlaalu. Owning mines and plantations all across Morrowind and Vvardenfell, and bordering the Imperial Province itself, House Hlaalu makes lucrative trade with the Empire, and accepts a certain amount of Imperial authority over their lands and people. As a result, by the time of the Nerevarine, both the Duke of Vvardenfell and the King of Morrowind were both Hlaalu councilors. Hlaalu is not a full ally of the Empire, however; its most corrupt faction, a criminal organization known as the Camonna Tong, wishes to expel the Empire and its citizens from Morrowind. House Hlaalu's banners are yellow, for money is its only master.

A House Hlaalu army uses the following list:

Heroes: Noble(Hlaalu).

Core: Warriors(Hlaalu), Slaves, Nix Hound Outriders, Camonna Tong Thugs.

Elite: Spellswords, Great House Agents(Hlaalu), Morag Tong Assassins, Bonewalkers, Silt Strider, 0-1 Ordinators, 0-1 Holy Orders.

Support: Temple Priests, Ancestral Ghosts, Bonelords, Siege Strider.

A House Hlaalu army may choose to take Great House Agents as Core. If Great House Agents are taken as Core, Warriors and Nix Hound Outriders must be taken as Elite instead.

Great House Redoran

Along the border with Skyrim lies the Great House Redoran. Forged in martial tradition and vows of honor, Redoran's nobles brave the Ashlands themselves to hold their great councils. On the slopes of Red Mountain, they defend their fortress, the hollowed shell of a city-sized Emperor Crab, from all the terrors of the wastes. In the west of their territory, they proudly make war against the kingdoms of the Nords. The knights of Redoran bear a grim and gloomy temperament, battling endless hardships with a strict sense of duty. House Redoran's banners are crimson, as is the blood they shed for the defense of the Morrowind, the honor of their House, and the glory of the Tribunal.

A House Redoran army uses the following list:

Heroes: Noble(Redoran), Warrior Priest.

Core: Warriors(Redoran), Slaves, Nix Hound Outriders, Redoran Knights.

Elite: Spellswords, Great House Agents(Redoran), Morag Tong Assassins, Bonewalkers, Silt Strider, Ordinators, 0-1 Holy Orders.

Support: Temple Priests, Ancestral Ghosts, Bonelords, Siege Strider.

A House Redoran army may choose to take Great House Agents as Core. If Great House Agents are taken as Core, Warriors, Knights and Nix Hound Outriders must be taken as Elite instead.

Great House Dres

In the south of Morrowind is an endless spread of farms and jungles, wondrously fertile land, cultivated by the labor of millions of wretched slaves. It is Great House Dres that rules these lands. Followers of the most ancient Dunmer ways, House Dres is a rigid society that only rarely does business outside of Morrowind. When warriors of Dres do leave their homeland, it is most often on raids into Argonia and Elsweyr, to kidnap Lizardmen and Khajiiti by the thousand. These captives are taken by sail to the great port of Tear; there they are sold as slaves to Dunmer from all across Morrowind, never to see their homes again. The banners of House Dres are dark blue, the color of the seas they cross to make slaves of the beast-folk.

A House Dres army uses the following list:

Heroes: Noble(Dres), Warrior Priest.

Core: Warriors(Dres), Slaves, Nix Hound Outriders

Elite: Spellswords, Great House Agents(Dres), Morag Tong Assassins, Bonewalkers, Silt Strider, 0-1 Ordinators, 0-1 Holy Orders.

Support: Temple Priests, Ancestral Ghosts, Bonelords, Siege Strider, Ash Wasp Riders.

A House Dres army may choose to take Great House Agents as Core. If Great House Agents are taken as Core, Warriors and Nix Hound Outriders must be taken as Elite instead.

Great House Telvanni

In the far north-east of Tamriel, across the grey islands of the Sea of Ghosts, are the spiraling towers of House Telvanni. Otherworldly in shape, the towers are giant mushrooms, magically grown and hollowed out to form the abodes of the great Sorceror-Magisters. These lords of House Telvanni pay little attention to the people they rule, and ignore the dictates of the Temple and the envoys of the Empire. They spend their lives hidden in their towers, performing forbidden rituals and conducting gruesome experiments. Some wizards of House Telvanni live unnaturally long lives, reaping the rewards of the secret magics they have long pondered. Others are murdered by rival sorcerors, covetous of their title or research. Still others have gone mad, their minds twisted into fried shells by the powers that have flowed through them. The banners of House Telvanni is brown like the towers of fungus they dwell in; "knowledge is power" is their only creed.

A House Telvanni army uses the following list:

Heroes: Sorceror.

Core: Spellswords(Telvanni), Warriors(Telvanni), Slaves, Nix Hound Outriders.

Elite: Great House Agents(Telvanni), Morag Tong Assassins, Silt Strider.

Support: Siege Strider(Telvanni).

Various models in a Telvanni army use summoned Daedra, according to the rules in Scrollhammer: Daedra Cults.

A House Telvanni army may choose to take Great House Agents as Core. If Great House Agents are taken as Core, Warriors, Spellswords, and Nix Hound Outriders must be taken as Elite instead.

Heroes

Noble

The Great Houses of Morrowind are ruled by councils of nobles. Some of these magnates hold their position by birth; others by wealth, others by merit. The nobles embody the great ambition and pride considered high virtues among the Dunmer; they lead their House's armies and thugs against its enemies, ever seeking to improve their status above that of their many bitter rivals.

Warrior Priest

The Tribunal Temple provides spiritual rule over the Dunmer of Morrowind. Countless pilgrims make dangerous journeys through the Ashlands to bow at the shrines of noble saints or appease the Daedra. Escorting such travelers is taken as a duty by many disciples of the Temple, in the hopes of proving themselves worthy of ALSMIVI, or out of aspirations of sainthood. The masters of the Temple are therefore skilled in the arts of both healing and battle, and have been known to put these twin talents to use in times of war.

Sorceror

The mad Sorcerors who rule Great House Telvanni are rarely seen by other Dunmer. Sitting high in their fungal towers, they ponder the heretical tomes, and perform unthinkable rituals. A Telvanni wizard hollows out the living space of his tower at the very peak, keeping out those incapable of magical flight. In doing so, he ensures that no meddlesome commoners will interrupt his studies, and no Temple Priests will lay hands on him for consorting with Daedra or enslaving the dead. But after spending centuries in their isolated lairs, the mages of House Telvanni hone their magical talents to nigh-perfection, and proceed to utterly destroy all who once sought to thwart them.

Core

Slaves

Slavery is widely practiced throughout Morrowind. The warriors of House Dres go forth on raids into the jungles of the southern half of Tamriel, bringing back throngs of Khajiiti and Argonians in chains. These unfortunates are sold to every Great House: Hlaalu, Dres and Indoril use slaves for farm and house labor, the warriors of Redoran use them for gladiatorial combat, and the wizards of Telvanni consider their slaves to be laboratory assistants or test subjects. Cursed manacles are often bought for slaves, preventing those suspected of knowing magic from using it effectively to escape. The Khajiit and Argonian species are considered by Dunmer to be worthy of slavery, a little bit wiser than animals, but still mere beasts compared to Merkind. Slaves of other races are found only in very small numbers, most often from among criminals who have offended House Dres.

Slaves are often mobilized for war in time of need. They are poor substitutes for the warrior retainers of the Great Houses, and rebellion is a constant danger while slaves are armed; nevertheless they are an inexpensive army for a Dunmer lord to raise, and a far less costly one to lose.

3 pts per Slave, 6 pts for Slavedriver. Core. Horde, Infantry. Each Slave is either Khajiit or Argonian. Slavedrivers are Dark Elves. 19-79 Slaves, 1 Slavedriver per unit.

Escape to Freedom: If a unit of Slaves flees, the Slavedriver and any Independent Characters joined to the unit(if any) are immediately removed as casualties. Slaves can never rally except in reaction to being charged.

All Slaves in the unit may take Leather Armor for +1/2 pt per model.

Warriors

Dunmer Warriors make up the core of the standing armies of the Great Houses. Some regiments of warriors consist of retainers and Oathmen, the guards of the Great House who both enforce law and order in the streets of their cities and fight for the nobles when the House goes to war. Others are mercenary thugs, sell-swords sent to do the House's dirty work. The Blade, Bow and Spell are the three great Dunmer arts of combat; garrisons of Dunmer warriors vary in their choice of weapon from village to village.

6 pts per model. Core. Fight in Ranks, Infantry, Dark Elf. 10-25 models per unit.

Nix Hound Outriders

The Nix Hound is a strange beast. Its figure is hunched and gangly, yet it is nevertheless quite fast, and has a strong back. Nix Hounds hunt in packs, the long tendrils protruding from their needle-like faces catching the scent of prey; they have been known to sometimes attack travelers. Long ago, many broods of these creatures were domesticated by the ancient Dunmer; Nix Hounds serve as mounts for the Dunmer in battle, lending their speed and pack ferocity to their elven masters. Nix Hounds were found to be weaker steeds than the horses tamed by Men, but their low profile and sheer speed make up for their lack of strength in battle.

Redoran Knights are the bravest of the House's retainers; their fury in battle is legendary among their foes. Many who have served in the armies of Redoran have gone on to be great leaders of the House, or to trod along the path of Holy Vehk as Buoyant Armigers.

Led by none other by Orvas Dren, brother of the Duke of Vvardenfell, the Camonna Tong is well known for its dominance in the black market, smuggling Skooma and other banned goods. Agents of the Camonna Tong have a heavy influence on House Hlaalu, bribing and threatening the nobles, and even joining the House to influence it from within. Profitable commerce with foreigners, of the criminal sort, is among their primary goals; however, they also wish to give Morrowind complete independence from the Empire, and to expel the vast majority of Imperial organizations and citizens from the land of the Dunmer.

Great House Agents

The intrigues between the Great Houses are legendary in scale. The law of Morrowind restrains the Houses from engaging in large scale wars, but all forms of underhanded activity are tolerated. Espionage, sabotage and assassination are frequently carried between Houses by hired thugs. Those who are caught are often may find themselves subject to heavy fines or outlawry, depending on the severity of their actions and the number of friends they have in high places. It is by this indirect means that the various factions of Morrowind vie for power over land, people and resources.

Elite. Skirmish, Infantry, Dark Elf. 5-20 models per unit. The unit must contain at least three types of agents, and and no single type of agent may make up more than two-thirds of the unit.

Morag Tong Assassins

The secretive brotherhood known as the Morag Tong are the Temple's primary means of keeping the peace among the Great Houses. Followers of Mephala, the Morag Tong venerate the art of murder, performing assassinations in exchange for money or equipment. They are not savage killers, however, but instruments of a strange form of justice; most criminal convictions in Morrowind result in heavy fines, with the wronged party being given the legal right to use that money to pay the Morag Tong to assassinate the guilty party. The Morag Tong send forth an assassin, bearing an Honorable Writ of Execution, who bears the legal authority to track and kill the criminal. It is only rarely that the Morag Tong will use their power and resources to conduct illegal assassinations, or to kill outlanders; they prefer to keep their hands clean all blood that they are not sanctioned to shed.

It is by this means that the Great Houses are able to war with one another and rarely set off overtly bloody feuds or pitched battles. Should there be a misconduct among members of two Houses, the Morag Tong is permitted to avenge whatever grievances result from the action. As a primarily internal organization, whenever the Morag Tong appear in battle, it is only in time of dire need, or when they are tracking an enemy leader to prepare for the kill.

Wargear:

Dagger.

Throwing Stars: The Throwing Stars of the Morag Tong count are thrown in succession, with blinding speed, as an assassin leaps at his target. The Throwing Stars are a pair of dual wielded 1-handed ranged weapons, each with the following profile: Strength=model S, Assault 4, Range 3". They may be equipped on the same turn as a Morag Tong Assassin's other weapons.

Morag Tong Armor: The grey and red robes of the Morag Tong are padded with strong leather, and filled with enchantments of concealment. This is Light Armor(6+) which grants the bearer Stealth, and does not reduce his number of mana dice.

At the beginning of the game, if your army contains any number of Morag Tong Assassins, choose a model in your opponent's army. All the Morag Tong Assassins in your army target that model for assassination. They may specifically target it in close combat, re-rolling to hit and wound(regardless of whether it is an Independent Character). They may target that model separately from its unit with their shooting (they hit the target on a 4+, no re-rolls, should they attempt this).

Spells:

Each Assassin knows an Illusion spell from the army spell list of your choice(mana cost 3 or less).
