Voss
The primary antagonists of Iron Hearts, Voss is a nation fueled by war. More martial than its Brother-state, the Voss Empire has recently launched offensives into Ragnyll, no doubt to secure the nation's newest rare and valuable resource, Ibonyte. Besides conventional infantry and armor, Voss forces are also made up of mindless hordes of reanimated corpses, Ghouls, and beasts of varying size and power, from the deadly flying Gargoyles to the heavily armored Dullahan.
- The Three Generals of Terror
The Generals of Terror are the most brilliant and well-known tacticians in all of the Voss Empire's armed forces. Two of the three have been met on the field and killed; the third, however, remains to be seen.
- Thanatos
An ancient god of immeasurable power, Thanatos was accidentally summoned by Hellghast during the Invasion of Stallion when the Hellghast denied the god its Vossian tribute, human souls in the form of civilians. May or may not be the source of the Voss' ability to resurrect its dead as Ghouls/ source of power in general. Has given Hellghast something of a timeframe, proclaiming that it will claim the souls of those who fought that day in 99 days from the battle.
Aeon
A holy empire founded on the teachings of Alexander, The Holy Church of Aeon has mainly kept to itself during the wars, holding Ragnyll in contempt and eschewing alliance with the Voss for their profane treatment of the dead.
Aeoni units are separated into three different groups: The Crown, which holds the armor units; The Inquisition, who provide heavy hitting but fragile units (think glass cannon), and The Order, which provides the main infantry forces.
- Legio Aurora
Something of a splinter group from the main body of the Voss, Legio Aurora consists of the remnants of a larger Aeon force that had originally been sent deep into Ragnyllian lines to confirm that the Vinculum Gate, an interdimensional portal through which daemons poured out, found itself whittled down by constant Voss attacks. The Legion, led by the Chapter Master Wight, held brief relations with the Hellghast Armored Unit until Wight led the legion on a merry chase to find relic gear that could slay the demons and close the gate once and for all.
Iffram
Forest-dwelling elf people. Rely heavily on magic. Unfortunately, not much has been mentioned about them.
Clovis
The Story so Far
Joining in on the War
There are only a few things you need to play Iron Hearts, A name, a tripcode, and a class to play as. Seems easy right? Well despite being so the game has many things that primarily Veteran's know about and aren't mentioned. Quite a few of these things will be mentioned here so that you might live longer. Before that you might want to get to know the images below with the unit types on them as they will include your possible player card. Player Card's are your personal stat sheet which you can edit with color and any upgrades you might get from spending Xp.
