Epic Madrak, World Ender : Fact or Fiction…

Rumour, whishful thinking, total hoax or fact, who knows for sure, other than Privateer Press, but here are the stats that have made their way into discussions!

Madrak, World Ender : Epic Trollkin Trollblood Warlock

With the recent acquisition of new lands, Madrak is set to solidify his people into a new nation. The call has gone out to all refugees that a new safe haven has been created where all of Dhunia’s children are welcome. Not just trollbloods, but Gobbers, Bogrin and Ogrin are welcomed with open arms, as long as they will take up arms in defense of their new homeland. Even some trollkin in the relatively safe northern regions have traveled to join with their people in this new and prosperous land. What the Duke and his allies call the bud of a new Molgur Empire, Madrak and his people call their last, best hope for peace, and maybe even survival.

==

Every great gain must come at an equal cost. Madrak is the true target of every Cygnaran bullet and cannonball in the region, for without his leadership the fragile coalition of the kriels will surely fail. Even some of his allies would prefer another, more warlike leader. Doomshaper holds a small but increasing sway among the kriels, and his view towards Cygnar is of an enemy nation that must be punished for years of persecution. It was Doomshaper that convinced Madrak to perform the rituals to unlock Rathrok’s true power, even though the shaman knew that such an act could very well cost Madrak his soul and doom the world to darkness.

==

The trollkin race is old and has ancient and powerful means of protection to those members of its race important enough, and more importantly willing to bear the burden. The kriels have offered up their most powerful talismans and scrolls to keep their leader safe, and he bears them into battle, armed with his deadly blade. Regretfully he directs his axe towards the most threatening opponents, sacrificing their souls, and part of his own, for the good of the kriels. If he is destined to bring about the destruction of the world, he is determined that his people shall have a proper place in it when it ends.
