Abutre's Host of Wildspell


Abutre, the outcast lord (Lord of Change)

An outcast sentence

During the first eos of the Great Game it was Tzeench who ruled all powerful over the other chaos gods. At that time it was Abutre who led the cohorts of change into war. It was under his watch that the great book of Skelios, one of Tzeench’s greatest spellbooks, was lost to Khorne and ripped apart.

Tzeench saw fit to punish the Lord of Change, stripping his sincilating wings of all feathers and leaving a shameful leathery pair of wings. As if this mockery was not enough, Tzeench commanded him to follow the orders and whims of his pet pink horror, Kitkazir, who was raised to the ranks of exalted demon prince within the ranks of Tzeench’s cohorts.

It is then that Tzeench commanded that Abutre and Kitkazir hunt down all the fragments of the book of Skelios and the Outcast lord was sentenced to follow, advise and ultimately pay his penitence under the command of the exalted horror.




Kitkazir, the exalted horror (Demon Prince of Tzeench)

The exalted fool

Kitkazir was the fastest, deadliest and most dire of the iridescent horrors of the scintillating cohorts of the great wars. His trickery and spell-dares always meant he was surrounded by only the best of the pink horrors, as any unskilled ones that followed in his antics would soon implode, be ripped apart or suffer any number of thousands of other unsavory outcomes.

It was not a surprize to the Grey Seer that Tzeench named Kitkazir to become the exalted horror. Where Abutre was methodically intricate on his schemes, the pink horror was dashing and bold. The dichotomy of their command often puts the two at the brink of an all out magical challenge, but the Grey seer is always around to make sure Abutre keeps to his penance until the day when the Book of Skelios becomes whole and is presented to Tzeench again.

Kitkazir soars the battlefield surfing over his trusty steed Scallionfaux the dire. This screamer is a master hunter that can track down the magical essences of the spellbook across the immaterium.

The Grey Seer (Fluxmaster)

Watcher and judge

Always watching, the grey seer is here to chronicle the tale of the outcast. Tzeench has trusted his herald to evaluate Abutre’s completion of his task. Ever watchful, his peerless eyes gaze into and out of the immaterium in search of clues for the Book of Skelios living spells.

He is served by his three overseers, the exalted flamers T'kat, K'tat and T'tak who’s constant remarks and jokes are recorded on his tome as the Chronicles of the Outcast are weaved.

The thrice named: T'kat, K'tat and T'tak (Exalted Flamers)

The mocking jury

The three twin brothers of the flame, The thrice named T'kat, K'tat and T'tak are the never ceasing inflamatory jury of the outcast’s penitence. They travel alongside the outcast mocking, joking, bragging and challenging his temper and lost authority as a constant test of his dedication to Tzeentch. Should Abutre ever waver on his resolve to restore the book of skelios the thrice named would never stop spilling the undoing of his servitude across the immaterium.

If they ever offer any respite it is to challenge each other to dares and contests, ever trying to prove themselves better than their siblings. Such are the Thrice named T'kat, K'tat and T'tak.

Unbound Living Spells (Objective Markers)

Shards of Tzeentch's power

Tracked across the immaterium by Kitkazir’s screamer mount Scallionfaux, the shards, pages, words and spells of the book of Skelios are living and breathing entities that are definitely and utterly against the goal of being bound back into the book. They hide themselves in the minds of powerful psykers or disguise themselves as powerful artifacts and natural phenomena. Some can be found burning happily at the heart of stars while others rest for eons at the center of intricate paintings.

Their greatest desire is to elude Abutre’s work and remaign free and unbound.

The misfit horrors, living spells (Pink Horrors)

The everlasting chore

Each Pink, Blue or Brimstone horror under the command of the misfits is a guardian of a part of the Book of Skelios. Pink horrors may carry entire spells writhing and swirling under their skin, while blue horrors can hold a single sentence and brimstone horrors sometimes a single syllable or punctuation mark.

The very unstable maelstrom that is the misfit horde means that Abutre’s work of cataloguing and rebinding the spell book is a self-fueled challenge, constantly slipping away and being spoiled by its very nature.











Aldwen of the Dragons (Fluxmaster)

The Dragon Priestess

For centuries Aldwen had studied forbidden arcane texts seeking to find and hatch Dragon eggs once more. Lured by the promise of power she faced every challenge and puzzle Tzeench put in her way with blood and fire. Her will eventually broke through the labyrinths and she unlocked her dragonblood heritage, long hidden at the core of her planet. She had hatched millenia old eggs and her children put ablaze the entire world.

Rewarded by Tzeench she became the ruler of this new hellish Demon World, where dragons soar the crimson-blazing skies feeding on the unfortunate souls that dwell there.


Storm of Tzeench (Giant Chaos Spawn)

Successful failure

Aldwen's first child was her true challenge, as Tzeench cursed this egg with the fleshchange hex and the reature is in constant flux, unable to ever materialize in a stable form. However, his soul is dragonborn and Aldwen saw through it, taming and drawing power from the beast.

The hulking unstable mass follows her along as a pet that she unleashes in savage fury against those that dare come too close to the sorceress-priest.

Tzeengon, the crimson terror (Demon Prince of Tzeench)

The perfect child

Aldwen's final test came as she gave birth to a perfect red dragon after bathing in the blood of the nine other powerful psykers from her home planet. She harnessed their power for nine days as she caressed the dragon egg in flames cast by the burning of their minds.

The ritual had been sensed by Scallionfaux, and as she danced in the flames of the final dead sacrifice Tzeengon rose from the egg in a burst of flames and tendrils of blood, fully mature and under her command. at the same time, Kitkazir had entered the realspace around her tower and the entire planet was engulfed in a warp storm of cataclysmic proportions.

Tzeengon and Aldwen were welcomed into the Wildspells Host as they outwitted Kitkazir in a spell duel. They now compete to claim the Living spells of the book of Skelios, as Aldwen receives visions from Tzeench that she may herself become a dragon by restoring the great spellbook.
