From the black city of Craclaw they ride, spreading oppression and fear, binding all who oppose them in the chains of slavery. Only internal stride and civil war ha held them in check thus far, but time is changing. The modern Overlords are no longer simple slavers, but true despots in the making. A sadistic priestess, a military genius and a renegade Lichlord, these would be tyrants have put aside their petty difference to work together toward their common goal: total domination of Taltos. As that wasn't enough, the arrival of the Inquisitors from the Empire of Malvernis can only be seen as a ill omen for the future of Taltos. This book includes: • An insider's account of the city of Craclaw and the power struggles within. • Tips for playing or using the Overlords in RPG's. • New data cards for new models. • New rules for the default Overlords Army. • New equipment. • New spells - including a new type of Cleric Magic - Khardullian Magic. • The Overlords sublist - The Onyx Legion. • The Overlords sublist - Followers of Khardullis.
