The Havoc Warriors are fanatical followers of the Havoc Gods, and their numbers consist of everything from skilled warriors adorned in heavy armour, to berserkers with only their faith and fury to protect them, supported by hordes of mutants and daemons. Their strange and varied warbands strike fear into the hearts of their foes.
Many different people have been driven to embrace the worship of Havoc, often seeking salvation from death, whether by enemies, disease, or any number of other causes. Scattered and driven into hiding after their Gods were sealed, the Havoc Warriors have returned in the wake of the Great Rift.
Background Story
Human tribes were slow to settle the Northland. Their numbers were always few, and they relied more on hunting than farming. Gradually, the Human Empire began to expand northward, even into the previously remote tribal lands. Some northern tribes were conquered, but many others joined willingly as allies, seeking to benefit from peace, trade, and infrastructure.
The Northlands were seen as frontier territory by the Human Empire. Some roads were built, and a few soldiers were sent north, but in the end, little changed for Northerners as the soldiers were too few to prevent raids from neighbours, and few traders bothered to come north along the roads. Instead, outcasts and criminals would often flee north in order to hide from the law, making the Northlands more dangerous than they had ever been.
The arrival of the Havoc Gods in Tyria caused a great deal of instability, as many began to worship these new Gods. The Empire recalled many of their troops to defend their Capital and nearby regions, hoping to put down any rebellions there, abandoning the northern tribes, and leaving them to deal with the Daemons on their own.
By the time that the Havoc Wars had begun in full, most of the northern tribes had either united under Havoc or were wiped out by those who did. Some just hoped to be spared, others sought revenge against the Empire, some hoped that Havoc might offer them better lives. The warriors of these tribes crushed the northern Dwarves before turning south. The followers of Havoc, or Havoc Warriors, drove deep into the Empire, pillaging as they went.
When the Havoc Gods were sealed away, the Daemons and their mortal followers were soon routed, and the surviving Havoc Warriors fled north. Still weakened by war, the Empire and its allies were not able to fully occupy the Northlands. Instead, they built a series of forts along its border in order to defend their lands. Though scattered and weakened, the Havoc Warriors remained, fighting amongst themselves for what little food and wealth they could scavenge, as well as anyone foolish enough to venture into their land without military protection.
The opening of the Great Rift was greeted with celebration in the Northlands as the Havoc Warriors regained their magic and their gods. Now, the tribes are looking south with new energy, plundering their weakened neighbours, and waiting for the chance to strike into the heart of Tyria once more.
How will you bring glory to your god?
Disciples
Havoc Warriors worship a variety of Havoc gods, which bless them with horrific traits to help them in battle. These disciples sometimes fight together to complement each other’s strength and spread chaos across all of Tyria.
Disciples of War are extremely aggressive and focus on melee combat. All they want is to get into the enemy’s face and stomp them to the ground.
Disciples of Change are accompanied by terrifying and savage birdmen. They are blessed with a magical aura which makes them difficult to hit at range.
Disciples of Plague focus on poisoned weapons and are tougher than their brethren. Because of their pestilence other disciples tend to avoid them.
Disciples of Lust are blessed with high mobility and can unleash flurries of attacks. Their strategy is to pin down their enemies and overwhelm them.
