Delve Into The Lore Of Fantasy Flight’s RuneWars
February 16, 2017 by brennon
Fantasy Flight Games has put together a new article diving into the background and the lore of their upcoming miniatures game, RuneWars.
"In early days, the great enemy of Terrinoth was Llovar, the Locust. The land was laid bare by Llovar’s armies, and many a great man and woman perished at their hands. But in the end, the heroes of old defeated him, and the Locust was silenced. Among those heroes were Daqan, Triamlavar, Grumson, and Waiqar, among many others.
Yet greatest among those heroes was the wizard Timmorran Lokander. It was he who slew Llovar, and it was under his stewardship that the remnant kings set out to build a new peace."
The world of Terrinoth is a fascinating one and it spans plenty of games from the Fantasy Flight collection including Descent, Battlelore, the original RuneWars and Runebound.
As you dive deeper into the lore you're going to be finding out more about the humans of Daqan and the undead of Waiqar as well as the other races too which will hopefully be coming to the tabletop in the future.
The artwork for this world is particularly fascinating and it would be great to see more of these creatures come to life. Hopefully it won't be long until we see more of the crazy Dragons they have in this world hitting the tabletop!
Are you getting in on RuneWars when it releases?

Those are really good.
God, the names they invent are so dumb.
Oy The boss’s 12 year old boy got an A for that piece of prose, lay off. …
Some names that you find from AoS are not much better.
No. No they are not. But then AoS doesn’t really appeal to me either.
….. seriously though, I hope the flesh out the story behind the two army starter box, Names of the generals, where and why these battles took place. Start small with a lot of detail and fill in the gaps as they go.
Both countries sound rather Cthulu-esque.
Just call them Skellies and Humies.
Skulls with skulls on. I can see why GW and FFG parted ways.
I do like the what Fantasy Flight, are trying to do here, which is accessible Tabletop wargaming. Those interlocking movement trays have me intrigued
Agreed, I just watched the demo and ‘got’ the interlocking trays.
Gameplay looks very cool as well. GW really need to innovate better on the game mechanics, Runewars is what they should have done with AoS.
I could be wrong but I believe that this starter set is around the £100 mark. That is on the end of of the scale if true for an entry level set.
Yeah, to expensive for a starter set, was going to go for this but now have my doubts, thank you brexit for the price increase. Already have to many games to play, so £99 is to much to try something with such a low unit count.
I am not disagreeing with you mate but where did you get the price from? 100 pound?, that seems a little steep (It’s more than 40K’s and Warmachine’s starters and they are the comapnies usually accused of having high prices) . Just wondering, as it seems like a nice little product but they may be pricing themselves out of the market

You know, I just looked up flights from Brisbane to Belfast (aside from the 31 hour travel time.. one way) this isn’t outside the realms of possibility …..financially . Time wise I don’t think work would understand… and I’d want to spend more than a weekend…… but one day…I almost could do this … hmmm
plus my Mother’s mother’s people came from Northern Ireland. So I am going for deep rooted, pilgramage reasons dearest ….. It’s not that I want to go over to the far side of the world and play games and paint ….. honest !!
