Four kingdoms wage war upon countless floating islands buffeted by endless storms. The satyrs and undead of the Swarm advance aggressively upon a fortress, where Winter Pact dwarves and frostlings ready their hammers and spells. Ironclad rodents and their constructs are ambushed by a line of toads followed by enchantments from their raven masters near a Shadowfen camp.
Among the myriad of warriors and spellcasters, heroes from all sides (and no sides) emerge.
Stormbound: Kingdom Wars is a mobile app card/board strategy game with intriguing mechanics, beautiful art, and fascinating tidbits of lore. There are four kingdoms, each run by different races and philosophies. As with any place, there are heroes (found on very rare cards in the game), and the game includes a mere sentence of background for each of them. These statements have inspired me to write vignettes of my interpretation of these characters. The game developers have expressed only a passing interest in building in-game lore in the future, preferring to improve game mechanics first, which is great. I only wish to be a little more creative here with what I find in the game.
