This is a work in progress of Sixth House, for Scrollhammer, by Dagoth Guy.
Introduction
[Lore and stuff goes here]
General Rules
Ash Creature Racial Traits:
Ash Creatures have Fearless and are unaffected by disease.
Blight Diseases
Every turn, all models in base contact with a model that has been infected by a Blight Disease must roll 1d6; On a roll of 6 the model in base contact contracts the same Blight Disease as the infected model. Once a unit has aquired a Blight Disease, they may only gain more instances of that particular Blight, except if they would gain corprus. Blight Diseases ignore ordinary disease resistance and can not be cured by ordinary means of curing disease.
Blighted Aura: Each turn, all models in base contact with this unit must roll a D6. On a result equal to or higher then the number in parenthesis the unit is granted a random blight disease. Another dice roll will then determine what the disease is- rolled on the Blight List or Greater Blight list, as noted.
Blighted Attack: Whenever an enemy model is struck by this unit in melee (saved or not), roll a D6. A result equal to or higher then the number in parenthesis grants the model a random blight disease. Another dice roll will then determine what the disease is- rolled on the Blight List or Greater Blight list, as noted.
Blight List
- 1-2: Ash Woe Blight
- 3-4; Black-Heart Blight
- 5-6; Corprus
Greater Blight List
- 1: Ash Woe Blight
- 2; Ash-chancre
- 3; Black-Heart Blight
- 4; Chanthrax Blight
- 5-6; Corprus
Corprus Aura: Each turn, all models in base contact with this unit must roll a D6. On a result equal to or higher then the number in parenthesis, the unit is granted Corprus Disease.
Corprus Attack: Whenever an enemy model is struck by this unit in melee (saved or not), roll a D6. A result equal to or higher then the number in parenthesis grants the model Corprus.
Blight Disease List:
Ash Woe Blight: Blight Disease. Models that have been infected by Ash Woe Blight are afflicted with -2 Magicka until cured.
Ash-chancre: Blight Disease. Models that have been infected by Ash-chancre are afflicted with -2 Leadership until cured.
Black-Heart Blight: Blight Disease. Models that have been infected by Black-Heart Blight are afflicted with -1 Strength and -1 Toughness until cured.
Chanthrax Blight: Blight Disease. Models that have been infected by Chanthrax Blight are afflicted with -1 Initiative, -1/3 of their natural movement speed, and -1 Attack to a minimum of 1 until cured.
Corprus: When a model has been infected by Corprus it loses all spell casting abilities, becomes Immune to Disease, and gains +1S and +1T. Corprus can not be cured by any means.
At the end of a player's turn should they have units infected by Corprus perform a Leadership test for each infected model. (Models of the same unit can be rolled together). On a failure the model(s) is/are removed from the game, and the Sixth House player that infected the model(s) gains the same number of Corprus tokens. A model that is Monstrous and removed in this fashion instead generates 3 Corprus Tokens.
Once a Sixth House player has accumulated at least 5 Corprus tokens they may roll a dice at the start of their turn. On 4+ they may immediately then Deep Strike a 5-20 unit of Corprus stalkers, each model costing one Corprus token. This may be performed multiple times, so long as the Sixth House player has at least 5 Corprus tokens, or a roll of 1-3 is made.

Core
Sleeper Cultists
"Sleepers! awake! The Sixth House is Risen and Lord Dagoth is its Glory!"
After Dagoth Ur's victory over the Tribunal in securing the Heart Chamber, violent blight winds erupted from the Red Mountain in ever greater frequency. The Ash storms contain dangerous magicks and broadcast the dream-sendings of Dagoth Ur to the Dunmer of Morrowind. Often, completely normal Dunmer start to hear voices in their head, and wake up at night to wander the streets preaching and speaking in weird ways, often in a charismatic, unnatural voice. These people are known as sleepers, perfectly normal Dunmer on the outside. As the numbers of sleeper-cultists increases, so do mysterious murders on outlanders and Imperial sympatizers. The Temple estimates that every town in Vvardenfell contains organized cells of Sixth house cultists.
Often, naked Dunmer are found alongside roads, or nearby towns. These mer are known as Dreamer cultists. Often recruited from disaffected Dunmer populations, including the underworld, the poor and rabid anti-imperial activists. These Dunmer are swayed by the dream sendings they receive, and willingly accept the Sixth House Cult. They fanatically worship their newfound Lord Dagoth Ur loudly. They hide themselves in basements, cave complexes and strongholds. Infecting themselves with bight diseases in order to be blessed with it's power. Experiencing visions of the divine dreamworld while they sleep. They devote their waking time performing sacred rituals of the Sixth House, involving music, poetry and cannibalism, in the hope of receiving the gift of His Flesh and be blessed with their Lord's everlasting glory.

Sixth House Retainers
"We do not fear death. Life is a dream. Blood is a dream. We sleep in one soul, the soul of Lord Dagoth."
Before a Dreamer is gifted the Blessing of His Flesh, in common tongue known as the Corprus disease, he will need to pass certain rituals in order to control it, for an unblessed mortal cannot contain the divine blessing without it destroying his mind and body. First the spirit of the Dreamer must be harmonized with the chorus of the Divine dreamsong, the resonance of the dreamsleeve, the Mind of Dagoth Ur. The Dreamer must also eat the cut-off divine Flesh of fellow cultists already blessed with His Flesh, in order to receive it's divine blessing. Third, the Dreamer must shed his mortal vision and claw out his eyes with bare hands. After the process is completed, the former Dreamer will be known as an Ash Slave, the lowest rank in the path towards enlightenment. Nontheless, the cultists body swells to contain the glory of His Lord's Flesh, and is from now on completely immune to disease and age, being essentially divine, the Ash Slave's Flesh starts to evolve into a magical, mutable form, becoming resistant against magical and physical harm. And even without eyes, able to see clearer than ever before.
As the cultists evolve towards the stages towards enlightenment, they are to be prepared for their service to the House. They will either, as suits their abilities, become Holy Warriors or Priests. Advanced ash slaves who are perparing to become a Holy Warriors are known as ash guards. They are being employed to guard entrances of secret hideouts and strongholds in order to protect it from military incursions from the Temple Orders. Being immortal, and unable to fear death or blood. And their bodies enhanced by corprus, they are a mighty force to be avoided indeed.
The other path an evolving cultist can take is becoming a priest. Tending the needs of fellow cultists and helping Sleepers and Dreamers with their rituals. An advanced ash slave who is preparing to becoming a priest is known as an Ash Skirmisher. Even while they have a scary appearance and a lack of eyes, they come across as friendly and welcoming. Possessing a powerful grip on the art of magic, they search for people to enlighten by sending their Lord's compulsions couched by dream imagery to, and recruit willing mer into the Cult of the Sixth House. Whatever an Ash Skirmisher watches, their Lord watches with them.
8 pts per model. Core. Skirmish, Infantry, Ash Creature. 5-18 models per unit

| Ash Skirmisher | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 5 | 2 | 7 | 0 | 6+ |
Special Rules:
Specialists: Each unit may be composed of any combination of the three types of Retainers, representing the different specialties of the lowest echelons of those who serve the Sixth House. Each Retainer has different choices of weapons and talents, as described below.
- Ash Slaves: Armed with Claws. Know two of the following spells: Curse-of-Ash, Spark, Earwig, First Barrier, Lower Resists.
- Ash Guards: Armed with Shield. An Ash Guard must take a Hand Weapon OR a Spear.
- Ash Skirmishers: Armed with Hand Weapon OR Spear, and a Short Bow. An Ash Skirmisher must take a Dagger OR a Second Hand Weapon.
Disease: Blighted Aura (6+), Blight Attack (5+)
For every six models in the unit, one of the following upgrades may be made:
- Upgrade one model to Champion(+1 A) for +6 pts. A Champion is a Character.
- Upgrade one model to Standard Bearer for +3 pts
- Upgrade one model to Musician for +3 pts
Ash Zombies
"WHERE ARE YOU, LORD? We cannot hear you.... SPEAK to us! PLEASE!"
In order to grow further towards divinity, the Ash Slave delves itself further into it's Lord's divine song, an odd and confusing experience for the cultists at first, but they hum along in their own lesser way with their lord. To an outsider's view, it would seem that the cultists blabber about trival things, write incoherent poetry, decorate their strongholds, and rearrange furniture over and over. But only those who are willing and worthy to awake from their slumber are able to hear the divine song, and understand the meaning of the scrabbled Sixth House poetry, often carved on the chest of a freshly-murdered imperial.
In the caves and strongholds far removed from watching eyes, cultists practice these rituals. Ash Slave's cut off their own flesh, and eat it. The removed flesh however rapidly grows back, stronger and better. This is how cultists grow in power and strength. An Ash Slave who has advanced enough in the divine song has to claw off his own face, reach for his brain, and rip it out. Leaving only an empty skull behind. This shows that the cultist truly passed former mortal boundaries. The cultist is now known as an Ash Zombie, and even while it lacks a brain, it is still retains it's intelligence. The Ash Zombies have moved a step closer towards enlightenment. The corprus strengthening their bodies beyond their former limits, even through they can't use magic in their current state, they are incredibly strong and durable, able to rip a man to shreds with their bare hands and able to shrug off considerable damage without effort, while wounds on their corprus-blessed bodies knit back together and lost limbs seamlessly grow back. Ash Zombies are often used to assassinate imperial citizen and Imperial Hlaalu sympathizers. Silently infiltrating the house and waking up the victim before ritually killing him, the empty hole in it's face being the last thing the helpless victim will ever see.

Corprus Stalkers
"The 'corprus men,' they crawl from under the mountain. They prey in the night like demons. They follow the blight storms, walk in the storms, bring death, disease. Hunters won't hunt, herders won't herd. Scared to go out on the land. Ahemmusa are people of peace, not of war. We fight, we die; we don't fight, we die. We must have help, or there will be nothing left."
Not everyone blessed with Lord Dagoth's gift of divinity reaches towards the stages of an Ash cultist. In fact, most people aren't able to control the blessing, and as a result it will ravage their minds and bodies. Native Dunmer call it a disease: 'soul sickness' or 'corprus disease'. The effects of corprus on it's victims vary from person to person, for some people the progress goes by very quickly and painfully, while for others it's very slow. The bodies of all victims however, will eventually twist and grow in unnatural ways, large flesh growths appear all over their bodies. The skin turns pale-white and flesh falls off and grows back in a rapid rate. This victim is known as a Corprus Stalker. The mind of the corprus stalker will slowly detoriate and become more and more demented, until it is reduced to a mindless, demented creature. As a result of corprus however, they've become immortal, doomed to wander aimlessly in a demented state for eternity. Dunmer families who've had a family member infected with corprus disease usually send them to the Corprusarium of Telvanni Lord Divayth Fyr. Here they remain in safety, and are calmed down by music.
Corprus stalkers aren't harmless however. Great care must be taken in approaching them because their dementia renders them very aggressive, furthermore their bodies have become extremely tough as a result of the corprus disease. Crazed humanoid creatures roam the region inside the ghostfence, and the ashlands around it. Appearing from nowhere during the red blight storms, killing off people and lifestock. Great risk comes with fighting these creatures as one can become infected with crippling blight diseases and even runs the risk of catching corprus and turning into a corprus stalker himself. Most frightening of all is the fact that Corprus Stalkers seem able to be controlled by Sixth House cultists, obeying their master's every whim.

Ash Wights
"We see you, false one. Your flesh will feed us all."
Ash Wights are terrible creatures of magical nature created by the Sixth House cult, and their Lord Dagoth Ur. They generally resemble Ash Zombies, but are more advanced in controlling the corprus disease. After a gradual period an Ash Zombie eventually regains its magical abilities, their consciousness ever shifting, waking and dreaming. They are able to control the schools of magic with great ease, and can be powerful enemies to face. The gaping hole in the Ash Zombies face will grow wider, often extenting across it's whole face, making them terrible sight to people who don't understand the divine majesty these cultists possess. After reaching this stage, the Ash Zombie is known as an Ash Wight, and is gifted with a robe made from the finest blight moth silk. Ash Wights cut off and eat exceptionally large amounts of corprus weepings in order to grow their strength.
Advanced Ash Wight cultists who possess exceptional magical abilities will generally become ash priests when they rank up in the House Dagoth structure, these creatures are called Ash Sorcerers. A small growth is slowly starting to fill the empty hole in the Ash Sorcerer's face. They are generally very vengeful creatures, and they fanatically travel great distances to murder and eat people who oppose and betrayed their Lord Dagoth Ur.

Houndmaster & Blighted Nix Hound Pack
"Our herds are sick. And the game animals -- kagouti, alit -- they grow sick, too. When blight storms come, animals walk in the storms. They get sick, get the red taint. Then they go crazy, bite and fight, go mad, kill everything. Without the herds, without the game, we must starve."
In the ancient cave complexes, ruins and towers scattered around Vvardenfell, various Sixth House cults are hidden. Here the Sleepers and Dreamers go to when they are exposed, to join in with the well-organized and connected cults. Here these cultists are prepared for the coming struggle to regain Morrowind- trained to become raiders and irregular troops. All kinds of dangerous creatures are also bred in these well-hidden strongholds. The most fierce Nix-Hounds are being blighted and trained to become frenzied beasts of war. A normal Nix-Hound can already pose a threat to an unprepared warrior or adventurer, having big, rending claws and a sharp mouth built to suck blood from warm-blooded creatures. A blighted Nix-Hound however, becomes large, strong, and almost insanely aggressive and fierce. A team of Dreamer cultists is necessary to coordinate the blighted creatures, and prevent them from attacking anything in sight.

Elite
Ash Ghouls
"You have chosen war with Dagoth Ur. We grieve for your loss, but we will not spare you. You refused the sweetness of Lord Dagoth's friendship. Now know the bitterness of his fury."
An Ash Wight or Sorcerer who is especially deep in the heart of Lord Dagoth's mysteries will eventually grow a flute-like proboscis from the gaping hole in their faces. This creature is known as an Ash Ghoul. They act either like priests of ministers to lesser Sixth House servants. Their flesh grows to contain more divine power of the corprus disease, and their magical powers increase dramatically in this stage. Able to channel the divine influence of Dagoth Ur to unwary Dunmer, nearby every cave or stronghold strums with this magical presence, Sleepers and Dreamers seeming to appear ever more frequently. Great caution has to be taken when a warrior or adventurer wishes to slay an Ash Ghoul, as their minds and bodies are spiraling towards the divine in an ever-fastening rate. The creatures are extremely intelligent and tactical, and posess the strength to incinerate entire patrols of soldiers with terrifying ease. Warriors thinking that fighting it in close combat is the way to defeat an Ash Priest are gravely mistaken. Ash Ghould posess incredible strength and endurance, able to regenerate wounds, grow back limbs, and able punch though chainmail and even plate armour with their deceptively strong punches.
Even through the Ash Ghoul's body swells with the divine power of Dagoth Ur's blessings, they still belong to his lowest servants, as Ash Poets, Ascended Sleepers and Ash Vampires stand high above them in Dagoth Ur's bountiful grace. An Ash Ghoul especially high in their Lord's grace will develop an especially long flute on their face. In fact, the flute starts to encompass it's entire skull. The Ash Ghoul is now known as an Ash Poet, an Ash Cultist of extreme intelligence and power, having almost completed it's path towards enlightenment. The Ash Poets have the habit of speaking completely in riddles and rhymes, seeing the world in a different, divine perspective. Ash Poets are among the strongest of the Sixth House Cultists.

Ash Deathguard
"Fire, poisons, claws, pincers, wheels... what slave knows what the lover feels?"
An Ash Cultist in similar progress as the Ash Poet, an Ash Guard is a creature in between the Ash Ghoul and the powerful Ascended Sleeper. It's skull slowly deforms into a shape similar to a large, magical flute. A creature like this who chose the path to become a Sixth House holy-warrior is called an Ash Deathguard. Posessing enormous powers and intelligence, and speaking, like the Ash Poet in riddles, rhymes and songs. An Ash Deathguard, having earned it's terrible name this way, has the holy task of protecting his fellow Ash Cultists. While the lower Ash Guards protect small, hidden Sixth House shrines from intrusions, the Ash Deathguards protect the greatest shrines of the Sixth House servants lying beneath the Red Mountain, inside the dreaded region of the Ghostfence. A region which the Temple Buoyant Armigers dread to go into, with all the right reasons.

Lame Corprus
"There's blight plague in Fort Buckmoth! Trooper went mad, turned into a fat, beast with sores and flabby chunks of flesh hanging off. Then he dropped dead, just like that. You can't make me go anywhere near that fort."
Victims struck by Corprus Disease will become incredibly deformed, their minds and bodies twisted beyond imagination. A victim quickly becomed aggressive, demented, and dangerous enough to be called a Corprus Stalker, but in this stage the disease is just beginning to wreak havoc actoss the victim's body. In the advanced stage of corprus, the skeletal structure will start to twist and flesh will fall off and grow back in an ever-faster rate until their bodies are swollen greatly out of proportion. These creatures are known as Lame Corprus.
Even besides the dangerous blight and corprus diseases it can spread upon contact, and often being controlled by Sixth House cultists, the Lame Corprus is a creature to be greatly feared by peasants and warriors alike. Stumbling into camps and villages during the raging blight storms, they will murder and slaughter anything they can get their diseased claws upon. The corprus disease greatly increases the strength of the former Corprus Stalkers, making the advanced victims of the disease incredibly dangerous opponents, able to rip fully-grown men in pieces like savage animals.

Ascended Sleepers
"You think what you do has meaning? You think you slay me, and I am dead? It is just dream and waking, over and over, one appearance after another, nothing real. What you do here means nothing. Why do we waste our breath on you?"
Having reached the final stages of enlightenment, the former Ash Poet will have grown to become completely unrecognizable from it's former mer-ish appearance. Almost it's whole body now consists of a large flute-like skull. This deranged creature is called an Ascended Sleeper, or, as called by the Temple: A Flute-and-Pipe-Ogre. This is primarily because of the large flutes comprimizing their skull, enabling them to perform extreme feats of magic and tonal architecture. Ascended Sleepers are also known to be extraordinarily intelligent, having experienced the secrets of the Dreamsleeve, and being ascended from it, seeing reality as it is: a dream. They have reached full enlightenment, and have woken up from their former mortal illusions. Ascended Sleepers will fanatically try to further their Lord's goals, they are able to spread Dagoth ur's influence across very large distances, broadcasting His dream-influences to everyone in their reach. Many Sleepers and Dreamers have woken up from their slumber even by the far away presence of an Ascended Sleeper, and unable to be freed from their dreams unless the creature is completely destroyed.
Everyone but the very strongest warriors, sorcerers or mages must take great caution in completing the task of destroying an Ascended Sleeper, deceptively unaggressive and slow, these creatures are able to cast extremely destructive spells in quick succession with seemingly little trouble, making them hard to defeat magically. Ascended sleepers have reached full control of the divine seed implanted into their bodies, and are capable of enormous feets of strength and endurance. Able to shrug off all but the mightiest blows, and swing their flutes with a strength that surpasses an Ogrim's, sending fully-grown warriors flying across the room into carefully stacked furniture. Because of their incredible intelligence, strength and magical power, they have caused the deaths of some of the very elite soldiers of the Ordinator and Buoyant Armiger orders, and as a result are greatly feared by everyone having once encountered one.
