Reckoning: A Hero's Guide to Amalur - Factions and Fae
Added 10/5/11Warsworn
The Crystal War ravages the Faelands. As countless bodies return from the war front, the Alfar army falters. The Tuatha Deohn are relentless in their assault. The Alfar and their allies have never battled such a foe. In desperation, they rely on an order of mercenaries to fill the ranks of the fallen—elite warriors who are said to have once battled a different but equally powerful magic. They are the Warsworn.
Throughout Amalur, the Warsworn are renowned as fighters-for-hire. While they charge an exorbitant fee for their services, they consider themselves more than simple mercenaries. Their credo: “A mercenary sells a sword without honor. The Warsworn sells honor, armed for battle.” Led by the Ancient of War, Tine Delfric, they aid the Alfar army with their superior experience and tactics.
The Warsworn trace their oath and their prowess back to an earlier age, when they served as legendary Niskaru hunters. They claim the likes of Eagonn, Caerwyn, and the Firstsworn are not just myth, but the actual foundation of their order. The recent turmoil in the Faelands presents an opportunity for someone brave enough to discover the truth of their history.
