High King Volturnos is available to pre-order this weekend, but just who is this legendary champion?
Volturnos is a very special aelf, and one with a deep connection to the dark origins of aelves in the Mortal Realms.
When Slaanesh was captured, Tyrion, Malerion, Morathi and Teclis were each entitled to their share of souls, with Teclis – ever the master of magic, and perhaps blinded by his own surety – choosing first. Volturnos wasn’t just one of Teclis’ original aelves, but the first aelf ever to be created from the souls stolen by Slaanesh!
Over time, Volturnos has seen the rest of the Cythai – the first aelves created – perish, and is now the last of their number. The Idoneth care little for lineage – in their brutally meritocratic society, even Volturnos had to prove his personal worth. Over the years, Volturnos has combined his natural born gifts, and the training imparted directly from Teclis, with years of warfare and Idoneth politics, making him a calculating, cunning commander.
Now, with the Idoneth Deepkin revealing themselves across the Mortal Realms, Volturnos is their foremost ambassador, forging alliances between the enclaves and with kingdoms of the other races. Only time will tell whether he truly serves the Grand Alliance, or if he has other goals…
You can enlist Volturnos in your army by pre-ordering him this weekend. In the meantime, you can read more about his history and that of his people in Battletome: Idoneth Deepkin, available in stores now.
