First, the key protagonists.
Khorgor of the Black Horn
The infamous Beastlord Khorgor of the Black Horn. From his herdstone-strewn lair in the Quagmire Forest, Khorgor has burnt a great gouging path through the Empire and into Bretonnia, destroying anything that stands in his way. His war horns wind and blare through the woods, summoning ever larger and fouler creatures to his side and galvanising the nearby tribes of Beastmen into a state of primal rage.
Malagor, the Dark Omen
Behind Beastlord Khorgor's actions is Malagor, the Dark Omen himself - a Brey-Shaman of surpassing power whose mere presence is a portent for disaster.
Empire Captain Van Bekk of Marienburg
Captain Van Bekk is a grizzled and seasoned veteran of many battles. His has risen through the ranks of Marienburg's military through demonstrating his prowess and cunning in battle. He has faced the ravages of the Beastmen before and holds a deep personal hatred for the vial beasts. He is determined to drive back this latest assault and hopefully kill Khorgor in the attempt.
The Duke of Gisoreux
The Duke of Gisoreux is likewise a seasoned veteran and no stranger to dealing with the deprivations of the Beastmen either. Gisoreux has suffered many times at the hands and hoofs of these fell creatures and by the grace of the Lady, the pride of Gisoreux will see these foul creatures vanquished from the land.
