ASHEN THRONE — TRICKSTER SPOTLIGHT DROP

“Where certainty dies, the Tricksters thrive.”

After a short forge-break for the holiday, the Ley has begun to stir again…
and something sly has awakened beneath it.

Today, we’re pulling back the veil on the next faction entering the First Age:

THE TRICKSTERS — Keepers of Chaos and the Unwritten Odds

A faction built on deception, manipulation, and bending fate until it screams.
They don’t overpower enemies — they outplay them.

THE TRICKSTER ENGINE (Finalized)

Gamble — Flip a coin.

Fortune: Add 1 essence of any type to your Ley Basin and draw 1 card.
Consequence: Deal 2 damage to your Command Station.

Tricksters chase advantage by risking their own throne.
Bad bets scar. Good bets accelerate everything.

Deceive (X)

Look at the top X cards of an opponent’s deck.
You may reorder them, bottom one, and discard one.

Their specialty? Taking tomorrow’s plans and rewriting them today.

Illusion (X)

Create X 1A / 1D Illusion tokens with:
“When this token is destroyed, draw 1 card.”

Illusions are fragile, but every shattered lie becomes knowledge — and knowledge becomes victory.

Allure (X)

Choose an enemy Unit with Defense ≤ X.
That unit must attack this unit next turn if able.

Tricksters weaponize desire, forcing giants to chase shadows while real threats slip by.

Swindle (X)

Draw X cards, then discard X cards at random.
Some Trickster cards gain bonuses based on what was discarded.

The heart of Tricksters: chaotic refinement.
They lose deliberately to win explosively.

FACTION IDENTITY

Role: Deception, misdirection, tempo disruption.
Playstyle: High-risk, high-reward — the casino of war.
Win Condition: Manipulate fate, drain enemy consistency, and turn every failure into a setup for victory.

Where Nobles hold the line…
Where Brutes crush the front…
The Tricksters break the rules.

And soon, you’ll play them.

The Veil opens soon.
Stay tuned for the first Trickster card reveal…

“Let the weak kneel.
The Brutes march for blood and fire.”

Korgath, Lord of Ruin, calls the warbands to rise.
Ashen Throne’s Brute faction is forging its path — savage, relentless, unstoppable.

⚒️ The age of siege has begun.
🔥 Blood feeds strength.
🏹 Walls will fall.

Join the ascension of the Brutes.

ASHEN THRONE — NEW BRUTE CARD REVEAL

The Nobles showed their gleaming walls…
Now the Brutes bring the siege engines that will tear them down.

Today, meet the Bonecrusher Catapult — a brutal war engine forged from iron, fury, and the remains of conquered foes.

This Silver-rarity Brute Siege Engine is built for one purpose:

Break their defenses.
Break their resolve.
Break their crown.

⚒️ Mechanic — Siege
Siege units deal double damage to Command Stations and Objectives.

🔥 Ability — Blood-Fed Payload
Whenever another Brute you control dies, Bonecrusher Catapult gets +1A/+0D until end of turn.

Every fallen warrior makes its next shot hit harder.
Every sacrifice fuels devastation.

ASHEN THRONE — OFFICIAL CARD FRAME REVEAL (EARLY DROP)

We said the first frame reveal was coming Saturday…

But the Forge had other plans.

Today, the official Ashen Throne card frame rises from the anvil — the face of every battle fought in the First Age.
Forged with gold, shadow, and the ancient oaths of Ashlar, this frame will carry every unit, tactic, and relic into war.

And to mark the occasion?

Here is the first fully playable prototype card using the new frame:

⚔️ Ashenfield War Ram — Noble Siege Engine (Prototype)

A symbol of Ashlar’s unbreakable will.
Built to shatter walls, morale, and any foe who dares stand before the Crown.

Mechanic Highlight — Siege
• Units deal double damage to Command Stations/Objectives.
• Units cannot block Soar or Ranged units.

This card’s ability:
When this unit deals damage to a Command Station, draw a card.

This moment marks the true beginning of the game’s visual identity.
The Ley stirs.
The First Age awakens.

Lore Drop — The Ashen Chronicles
Act I: In the Shadow of War

“Shadows do not always speak in words or phrases known to men.
Sometimes, they speak with a single quiet act—like a stone dropped into a pond.
Its truth is not fully known until the waves reach the shore.
The consequence of one choice can reshape the path ahead.
So tread with caution.
Weigh every step.
The cost is always waiting.”

— Iskar Marr, Philosopher of the Second Era
Executed for treason.

🔥 Coming this Saturday: the first look at the official Ashen Throne card frame!
Forged in the golden halls of Gursol, this frame marks the beginning of the game’s true identity — the face of the First Age.

Stay watchful.
The world is awakening.

The Legacy of Aelthar — The First Flame

Before there were crowns or gods that answered, there was Aelthar, the First Flame.
He was not a thief of power — he was chosen to bear it. The gods gave him the world’s first magic, the living fire that would become the Ley.
With it, he built a city of light and wisdom — a place where stone sang with energy and the sky shimmered with knowledge.

But even divine fire casts shadows.
Edarr, jealous god of the underworld, loathed that mortals had touched creation itself. From his envy came the Great Plague, and Aelthar’s city fell in ash and silence.

Yet the Ley did not die. It sank beneath the world — flowing unseen through the bones of the earth, whispering in flame, storm, and blood.

Centuries later, men found it again. They named it power. They named it destiny. They built kingdoms upon its veins and wars upon its promise.

The gods called it theft.
The mortals called it progress.
The Ley remembers both.

FACTION SPOTLIGHT #2 — THE BRUTES OF AZGOTH

“Strength obeys no crown.”

Where the Nobles build order…
the Brutes build war.

The Brutes of Azgoth are the raw, unfiltered fury of Ashen Throne — a faction of warriors, raiders, and forge-born berserkers who turn reckless aggression into overwhelming momentum.

Their gameplay engine is built around three primal forces:

🔥 RAGE

Fury made flesh.
Brutes grow stronger when they attack, not when they wait.
Every swing adds pressure. Every hit threatens to snowball.
They do not trade — they smash through.

💢 RECKLESS

The Brutes don’t negotiate with caution.
Units with Reckless must attack if able, turning every turn into a test of your opponent’s defenses.
Control decks fear this keyword — it forces the battlefield forward.

⚔️ CHARGE

Strike now, think later.
Brutes with Charge ignore deployment fatigue and hit the field swinging.
This is how Azgoth steals games before the slow factions can wake up.

💀 RELENTLESS (rare)

When Brutes fall, they fall violently.
A Relentless unit deals its Attack as damage to any target when it dies —
a final punch from beyond the grave.

The Brute Engine: Fury in Motion

The Brutes play like a red deck forged in a volcano:
• Swarm early with cheap bruisers
• Buff the frontline with Rage and group attacks
• Explode mid-game through token generators and sacrifice effects
• Finish fights fast with big Charge units and direct damage tools

Your opponent cannot stabilize.
If they hesitate, they’re already dead.

This is the engine of Azgoth:
pressure, momentum, inevitability through violence.

Next Spotlight: The Tricksters of Kentmore — Where victory is just another illusion.

"Order is our weapon. Law is our armor."
The Nobles of Ashlar rise.

Forged in discipline and bound by ancient oaths, the Nobles stand against the chaos sweeping across Gursol. Their insignia is more than a crest, it is a promise:

The Crown does not bow. Ever.

Early playtesting is now open.
