Story[]
Gessleheim is a blighted land of undead, beast men, barbarian tribes, and monsters. Three hundred years ago, the Overlord of Gesselheim banded the people of his desolate wasteland home together, forming a modern empire. In a war at the turn of the century that came to be known as the Centennial War, he led this massively overpopulated and undersupplied nation to war against the northern neighbors who refused to trade with them or recognize them as equals.
After Rexan was betrayed by one of his closest confidants and murdered by the four warriors who went on to be remembered as the "four heroes", three centuries passed, and the Gesselhemian nation dissolved back into chaos. Seeing the plight of the people in this land, Hepzibah Culotre resolved to revive the overlord from the dead, and succeeded in doing so. Returned from the dead with Hepzibah's spell of true resurrection, the Overlord prepares to reunite his people once again and demand a place for them in the world.
Rexan is actually a Relecan noble by birth. He fled to Gesselheim as a boy when his parents were killed in a slave revolt.

Ability Name | Character Version | Description |
---|---|---|
Cairngort's Curse | Original |
The first time Rexan is hit by an opponent who did not ante at least one Curse Token, he places a Curse Token in that opponent's Token Pool (up to a limit of 3). If the opponent would gain a 4th Curse Token, he loses 2 life instead. During the ante phase, opponents may ante Curse Tokens in their pool one at a time, and may ante any number in a single beat. Each Curse Token gives them -1 Power and -1 Priority when anted. If an opponent antes Curse Tokens but does not hit Rexan, nor does Rexan hit that opponent, the tokens are returned to the opponent at the end of the beat (at least one player must hit for tokens to be discarded). |
