Information Thread for Potential New Arabyan Units

South of Tilea, past the stormy seas of the Black Gulf, lies the kingdom of Araby. Here the decadent Caliphs and Sultans rule cities made of white stone, and their realms are the vast deserts, oases that glitter like jewels, and mountains inhabited by fierce nomad warriors. Several great cities form a loose coalition, though in effect they are all independent states with their own rulers, traditions and customs. The Sultan of All Araby claims to rule the whole peninsula, but has little real power over the independent coastal city-states or over the fierce nomad tribes who wander the Great Desert of Araby.

Emir = "The Sheikhs, Emirs and Sultans of Copher, Lashiek and Martek live in unimaginable luxury, served by hundreds of slaves who will fulfil their every whim, their harems are filled with voluptuous beauties from across the world and their treasure chambers with all the splendour and wealth of that distant land."

https://i.imgur.com/zGqjYuS.png Warmaster Armies

Grand Vizier = "The commander of an Arabian army is likely to be a Grand Vizier - perhaps the Grand Vizier of the Great Sultan himself. Few Sultans would be so bold as to take to the field personally but throughout history there have been notable exceptions such as the mighty Sultan Jaffar who led a powerful army into Estalia and besieged the Tilean city of Tobaro. Subordinate to the overall commander are marshals and commanders of lesser rank within the palace hierarchy, noble Emirs, and Sheiks from the desert. Military leaders often ride upon Elephants as befits their exalted rank."

https://i.imgur.com/zGqjYuS.png Warmaster Armies

Magicians = They are the great sorcerers of Araby - mystics of the southern deserts and court magicians of the Sultans themselves. They might ride flying carpets - aerial spirits bound into the spiralling patterns of carpets. Their ability to bind desert daemons to their will enables Arabian wizards to command Djinns to carry them from place to place. They are skilled at healing magic, so its likely that they are able to use Jade magic.

Snake Charmers = In the bazaars and markets of Araby crowds often gather around a mystic arabian sitting playing a flute. Mesmerized by the music or some say by his rhythmic swaying is a deadly venomous snake. Snake charmers generally survive on the money they make as entertainers but often some offer their services, and that of their snakes, as warriors.

Guard of the Caliph = The household troops of the rulers of Araby are famously loyal and lavishly equipped - they carry weapons of the finest quality and wear brightly coloured clothes of silk brocade. Each Sultan, Caliph and many lesser nobles and sorcerers have their own core of guards. So loyal are they that they would die at their own hands if their master so commanded.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Arabian_Guards

Handgunners = Although firearms exist in Araby they are nowhere near as common or advanced as those used in the Old World and are rarely issued to common troops

Jezzails = "This long-barrelled arquebus was first designed in Araby, and since its inception, few have made their way to the Old World. Owned mostly by collectors and wealthy nobles, jezzails benefit from a longer range than their larger counterparts. A jezzail requires only a single shot of powder per firing and fires one ball when loaded with standard shot."

Slave Archers = Araby does massive trade in slaves, having some of the biggest markets in the world for them.

Southlands Tribesmen = Native tribesmen of the southlands who end up in arabian forces.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Southlands

Amongst these troops are some distinctive regiments which, traditionally, fight with curved swords or which wear uniforms peculiar to their place of origin. Variants include shields.

Camel Riders = It is only the fierce warriors of the desert tribes that ride these intractable creatures into battle. Camel riders are brave and notoriously savage warriors who navigate their way across the shifting sands of Araby by an uncanny instinct unfathomable and mysterious to mere city dwellers. They are guided as much by their knowledge of the deep desert as by their desert-born mounts and, some would say, by their taste for blood!

Nomads

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The nomad tribes of Araby have been living in the deep deserts for centuries, their realms dictacted by the life-giving oases. There are hundreds of different tribes of nomads - the Tuareg, the Dervishes, the northern Fuzzy-wuzzies, the Al’Rahem and the near legendary Muktarhin to mention but a few. They hate the Undead because they border Nehekhara. The issue of town cryer includes arabian elemental magic.

Bedouins = They are nomadic tribesmen who live on the outskirts of tribal life as the tribesmen themselves do with the rest of civilisation. Loners by nature they are experts in desert craft and make excellent scouts and guides for their tribe or outsiders who are willing to pay enough for their services. Weapons include; daggers (jambiya), maces, scimitars, spears, great weapons, flails, short bows, tufenks, hand guns, shields.
http://www.lustria-online.com/thread...-issues.15973/ Town Cryer Issue 20

Champions = Noble relatives of the Sheikh’s family are fanatically loyal to him and give him the necessary support and muscle when needed. They keep the rest of the warband in line, discipline those who have offended the Sheikh, divide up the booty and tell tall tales by the fireside.
http://www.lustria-online.com/thread...-issues.15973/ Town Cryer Issue 20

Nomad Scouts = The guides of nomad tribes are at best uncouth and uncivilised. However, they are good warriors, living a life of almost constant battle within the deserts they call their home. They use scimitars and bows.
http://www.lustria-online.com/thread...-issues.15973/ Town Cryer Issue 20

Nomad Warriors = All males of the tribe are warriors first and foremost; some may be talented in the crafts of weaving or weapon smithing but all are brought up from an early age in the use of weapons, primarily the bow and scimitar. Weapons include; daggers (jambiya), maces, scimitars, spears, great weapons, flails, short bows, tufenks, hand guns, shields.
http://www.lustria-online.com/thread...-issues.15973/ Town Cryer Issue 20

Mystic = In the distant past the Arabians were renowned for their studies in the magical arts, whether they were originally taught by the Elves, as were the men of the Old World, is not known. The wisemen of Araby have mastered a strange aspect of colour magic, known as Elementalism, which is based on the four primary elements: earth, wind, fire and water.
http://www.lustria-online.com/thread...-issues.15973/ Town Cryer Issue 20

Sheikh = The Sheikh is a hardened warrior living in the burning hell of the desert and having to constantly fight off bandits, members of other rival tribes, and of course, the evil undead. He is often also the head of the tribe, respected and trusted by his fellow tribesmen.
http://www.lustria-online.com/thread...-issues.15973/ Town Cryer Issue 20

Tomb Raiders = Sometimes though, a young sheikh eager to prove his worth in the tales of his people, will seek out the Land of the Dead so that he may claim name for himself and discover unknown riches.

Dreadfleet by Phil Kelly - Chapter 6

Djinn = This is the generic name given by Arabian magicians to many different kinds of elemental spirits, which can be imprisoned within magical jars and bound to do a sorcerer's bidding. When one of these jars is shattered, spirits inside will manifest, billowing and spilling out of the broken jar to coalesce into a mighty elemental spirit hundreds of feet tall.

Fire Efreets = Those vessels that contain powdered sulphur and dried naptha may be ignited with a spark to release a gigantic Fire Efreet. A Fire Efreet is a creature of savage delight that cackles as it hurtles through the air; searing the decks of enemy ships and setting aflame their crew as it shouts curses that sound for all the world like the spit-crack of raw fresh melting on open fire.The blood of one of these spirits was used to temper the blade of the Hellfire Sword, which was forged from a single flame that was hammered into material form.

Royal Djinn = Only three of these are rumoured to exist, and are kept within jewelled and gilded Great Urns in the hidden rooms under the decks of the Flaming Scimitar of the Golden Magus. Each urn has an intricate spiral of skulls winding around its outside, crested by one of the three symbols that represent the elements ascendant over the forces of darkness. They are said to have once belonged to the Great Necromancer Nagash himself, and that each contains a spirit powerful enough to eclipse the sun. The Golden Magus will not say a single word on the matter. Perhaps even the redoubtable Sultan of the Seas is afraid to open them...

Sea-Nymphs = Those magical jars that are filled with sparkling seawater contain the essence of Sea-nymphs - or Salt Devils as they are known to the pirates of Sartosa - who can freeze solid around seabound foes or seal a hole in their master’s warship with living ice. Though they took the form of lissom wenches, the Sea-nymphs are perhaps the most inhuman of all the djinn spirits, and delight in dragging those struggling to tread water so deep into the sea that their fragile human bodies crumple in upon themselves under the pressures of the abyss.

These storm-born spirits are capricious as zephyrs in temperament, but their raw might is that of a tornado, and they can pull even the most fearsome winds unto themselves like a shroud.

Elementals

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

When working on these lists, I came across numerous references to Arabian Magicians and Sorcerers using elemental magic, so these make sense.

Air Elementals = Has a magical aura that protects it against weapons. It appears as a whirlwind which twists and turns its way across the battlefield. It’s from Citadel Journal.
https://www.scribd.com/doc/223078336/Citadel-Journal-13

Beast Elemental = If an incarnate elemental of beasts exists, then surely a beast elemental must as well.

Death Elementals = The Death Elemental is allied to the elementals of the earth, but represents the negative side of the force; that which reclaims all living things into the bosom of the earth, enabling continual rebirth from the soil.
https://www.scribd.com/document/1421...on-Compilation
http://www.collecting-citadel-miniat...ile:C34-07.jpg

Earth Elementals = Has a magical aura that protects it against weapons. It is a huge statue-like creature composed of rock with smouldering red eyes. It’s the strongest of all elementals but is painfully slow and cumbersome. It’s from Citadel Journal.
https://www.scribd.com/doc/223078336/Citadel-Journal-13
http://www.collecting-citadel-miniat...ile:C34-10.jpg

Fire Elementals = Has a magical aura that protects it against weapons. Composed entirely of flames and smoke, they mimic the human form but often have a maniacal grin on their face common to pyromaniacs and arsonists. It’s from Citadel Journal.

Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum

Incarnate Elemental of Beasts = Summoned through savage and secret rituals known to few humans outside the initiates of the Amber Order of Wizards — and dark lore has it the Bray Shamans of the unholy Chaos Beastmen herds — the Incarnate Elemental of Beasts is known in legend as the Bloody Hidesman, the Horned Man or the Faceless Hunter. It is a towering, half-human figure that embodies the ferocity and merciless hunger of the wild and contains within it the turbulent spirits of numberless predators, both animalistic and cruel.
Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum

Incarnate Elemental of Death = Those who call forth an Incarnate Elemental of Death risk bringing about their own untimely demise, for to summon such a fearsome creature is to invite death itself unto themselves. Eerily silent save for the whisperings of the grave that follow in its wake, the Incarnate Elemental of Death is a nightmarish apparition

Incarnate Elemental of Earth = A supremely powerful elemental of Earth.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Elementals
Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum

Incarnate Elemental of Fire = Known in the lore and legend of the Empire as the Charred Ones, the Black Harvestmen, and Jack O’Cinders, stories speak of the wrath of the wizards of the Bright College during the brutally fratricidal wars that wracked the Empire in centuries past, where these conjured creatures were used wantonly to destroy entire towns and villages that had provoked the ire of one or other Imperial faction, laying swathes of the land to ash-strewn waste.

Life Elementals = Life Elementals are allied to the Elementals of the Earth. Unlike those, however, they are tall and graceful, as a young tree or a beautiful woman. They are creatures of the growing earth, the motivating force that gives life to plants and plant spirits. As such, they are revered especially by the Elves (presumably High/Wood Elves).

Sea Elemental = Some say that as the ages pass, Triton and his kind slowly become more like the seas they are lord over, turning wilder and less controllable until there is very little to distinguish them from the towering waves and raging storms of the ocean. The Sea Elementals, living mountains of blue-black water that rear out of the water in the barely recognisable shape of a huge man, are perhaps some stage of this process.

Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum

Water Elemental = Has a magical aura that protects it against weapons. They take the form of a wave or column of water, they can move across the earth but their home is the water. They’re malevolent spirits with wild and uncontrollable anger. The older it is, the angrier. It’s from Citadel Journal.

Monsters

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Radiant Pegasus = "A notable breed of Pegasus, Radiant Pegasi are most commonly found upon the sunlit plateaus of Arabyan mountains. They absorb the sun's heat, transmuting it into the burning light that flows over their skin like ripples of brightest flame. When threatened, a radiant pegasus can discharge this magic at its attackers in a searing and crackling flash."

Siege Train

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

"The only realistic solution to breaking massive fortifications is to employ a formidable siege train which includes siege engines of gigantic proportions capable of smashing down the strongest walls, gates and towers quickly. These machines are so huge that they cannot easily be constructed in the field. Instead, they must be manufactured in advance, often in pre-fabricated sections which can be transported in wagons, on ships, or stored until needed in fortresses."
https://i.imgur.com/SZ5PSHZ.png White Dwarf 155

The Giant Battering Ram = "The giant battering ram is cut from the tallest and strongest tree in the realm and shod with a massive iron or bronze head. Hundreds of men are needed to pull the ropes that swing the ram to strike a gate or fortress wall. One blow will smash great oak doors like matchwood or crumbles masonry into powder, collapsing towers and walls like sand castles. The hides of a thousand beasts form its canopy, protecting the operators from the arrows of the defenders."
https://i.imgur.com/SZ5PSHZ.png White Dwarf 155

The Great Cannon = "The great cannon is a cannon so big that the ruler will have to make special measures to get hold of enough metal to make it. All the bells in the realm or all the cannons of the fleet may have to be melted down to provide enough bronze to cast a single great cannon. It is so monstrous that hundreds of oxen are required to pull it."
https://i.imgur.com/SZ5PSHZ.png White Dwarf 155

The Monstrous Stone Thrower = "This is a catapult operated by a massive counterweight which swings a long shaft and hurls a boulder a very great distance. The huge boulder will smash any ramparts that it strikes. The catapult is made of thick timbers to withstand the stress and strain, but the parts can be transported individually on wagons and are lashed togehter into a catapult in the siege lines."
https://i.imgur.com/SZ5PSHZ.png White Dwarf 155

The Siege Tower = "Hundreds of wagons are required to carry the pre-fabricated timbers that make up the siege tower, and when these are put together the siege tower will be raised higher than any known wall. Bolt throwers shoot out of port holes on each of its many levels. A drawbridge or spiked corvus is ready on the top of the tower to be dropped on the enemy battlements allowing attackers to swarm across, constantly reinforced by a steam stream of soldiers."

Regiments of Renown

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Aklan'd Death Commandos = Aklan'd may have been insane, many claimed as much, most of them died horribly. His brand of religio-magic was based upon the old religions of the desert tribes, modified to accord more closely with his own distorted view of the world. His most dedicated followers were Aklan’d Death Commandos. This elite regiment was formed from the most devoted of the young desert warriors, men willing to die, and in dying gloriously pass into the highest of the 7 Heavens, known as St’oec.
http://www.solegends.com/citrr/1rr06mullahs/index.htm

Al Muktar’s Desert Dogs = Following a deeply unhappy childhood, Werner Glook, son to a rich Marienburger family, set sail to realise his lifelong dream of exotic travel. Land at Lashiek in Araby he quickly became the focus of attention as the locals regarded him as the legendary Al Muktar - the Chosen One. Glook was captured (after a fine display of fist fighting) and the bandit’s leader, Sheikh Ahmed Shufti, was grudgingly impressed by the way the Old Worlder did not give in to pain, despite being pegged out in the desert for days. The bandits soon became nervous of the man, rumours that he was Al Muktar were now rife and they begged his forgiveness. He did better than that, he joined them, discarding his former name, and led them across the Old World gaining a fearsome reputation for himself and his newly named Desert Dogs as they served numerous masters. Horse, Scimitar and Shield.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi...7s_Desert_Dogs

Black Scimitar Guard = As Jaffar realized he couldn't win in the open field against the shock-tactics of the Crusader Knights, he withdrew to his homeland while he left a token force in the city of Magritta, under the command of Emir Wazar, better known as Emir the Cruel and his elite Black Scimitar Guards.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Crusades

Dread Daughters of Tariq = Each Sultan, Caliph and lesser nobles and sorcerers have their own core of guards. So loyal are they that they would die at their own hands if their master so commanded. Similarly dedicated are bodies drawn from some of the outlandish communities of the south including the Dread Daughters of Tariq from the Land of Assassins.

El-Haikk Thieves = The city is famous for its thieves.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Araby

Hamdork’s Skeptics = ”Hamdork was a mighty warrior, who both detested and strongly distrusted all things magical. His determination to be free of magic led him to have a shield constructed for himself, and for each of his guardsmen, which would offer protection from even the most powerful magic.”
Forces of Fantasy Vol. 3 - Page 7

Magus’ Bronze Cannon = Each of its keyhole windows hide an ornate bronze cannon crewed by a team of hunchbacks

The Harem of Abd al Wazaq = Though Abd al Wazaq existed a long time before the “present day” of Warhammer, I feel these would work. The Arabyian Emir Abd al Wazaq trained his harem to be his personal bodyguard. When he surrendered them after being defeated by a Prince of Luccini, the harem signed on as a mercenary regiment in the Princes army!
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...290REo2Nmc1U1E

The Sultans Household Guard = The household troops of the rulers of Araby are famously loyal and lavishly equipped - they carry weapons of the finest quality and wear brightly coloured clothes of silk brocade. Each Sultan, Caliph and many lesser nobles and sorcerers have their own core of guards. So loyal are they that they would die at their own hands if their master so commanded.

Daughter of the Deep = ”To Roth’s mounting amazement, the urn-water flowed upwards instead of outwards. It was like an amphora being poured out in reverse. The elemental spirit was taking the rough form of a human female, and a shapely one at that. A rippling meniscus kept the humanoid column from collapsing, and when the spirit bowed in greater, droplets of seawater flicked outwads from hair-tendrils that swirled around her featureless head.”
Dreadfleet by Phil Kelly - Chapter 6

Raging Tempest = ”A raging tempest in the shape of a god roared into the firmament with a boom of destructive force. It whirled around at tremendous speed contrary to the waters of the whirlpool, whipping itself into a tornado that utterly absorbed the deathly miasma emanating from the whirlpool’s gullet.”
Dreadfleet by Phil Kelly - Chapter 17

Sea-Monarch = ”Whirling up from the heart of the maelstrom came a trio of elemental spirits so large they made the Magus’ other conjurations look like sprites by comparison. The first urn to break apart released a titanic sea-djinn who loomed into the air amongst a spray of prismatic light, her glacial form so large she could have touched either side of the whirlpools gullet by stretching out her arms. She pushed with the might of a living tsunami.”

The Sultan of Flame = ”Roaring out from behind the sea-monarch was a living column of flame as broad as the Reikstemple’s main sanctum, its twin heads screaming with the crackling roar of a forest fire. The Sultan of Flame curved up into the air before plunging into the maelstroms weakest point, turning a mountains worth of brine into foul-smelling steam.”

Magic Weapons

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Basilisk Blade = ”Even after death the bones of a Basilisk poison the world around them, exuding a foul aura that can putrefy flesh and corrode metal. Weapons fashioned from the rancid bones recovered from Basilisk remains are terrifyingly deadly, but thankfully rare as they are just as deadly to their wielders as they are to their victims.”
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGc Monstrous Arcanum

Cold Iron Blade = ”Ancient lore claims that only iron weapons shaped without the use of fire can harm the spirits that infest certain regions of the world. Only the strongest of smiths can perform such a feat, hammering the metal into shape with brute strength before such artefacts are enchanted. Though the results are always crudely shaped, their potency against the ephemeral creatures is unquestionable.”

Deeply devoted to Morr, the young man claimed the Skull for his own, believing, the blackened bone with the yellowed cuneiform script was a sign of the god’s favour.

The Pinion of the Phoenix = ”These ephemeral feathers, plucked from the burning wings of a manifested phoenix and woven into a talisman, are preserved by the arts of ancient Elf magic.

While they last they protect their bearer from harm, and should he fall grant him a fiery reprieve from death.”

Warpscale Pendant = ”Crafted from the deformed scales of a Warpfire Dragon, these eerily worked talismans are the product not of twisted Skaven ingenuity as some suspect but rather of some unseen agency believed to be connected to the ruling cabals of the Tilean City-states. Ensorcelled to protect the wearer against weapons fuelled by warpstone, many Skaven wizards covet such items as a measure against assassination by their own kind - though the fear Warpfire Dragon’s cause among the warpstone-laden holds of the Skaven keeps them rare.”

Green Scorpion Venom = A particularly nasty venom available from shady Araby dealers is scorpion venom.

Drawn straight from the fangs of a black stripe viper, this vile liquid burns to the touch, and its fumes sting the eyes. The poison is applied to a weapon.”

Kadon’s Scrolls of Binding

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

When a storm of magic breaks, it isn’t merely battlefield sorcery that increases in power. All manner of spells and items dormant for decades suddenly crackle into vibrant life, eager to have their power unleashed on an unsuspecting world. Chief among these are Kadon’s Scrolls of Binding; each scroll was crafted with a particular beast in mind. These came from the Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum, in the chart in that book it listed each monster for each faction as either Abhorrent, Binding Scroll or Kinship, these monsters here are all but those that are Abhorrent to this faction. The Scrolls of Binding that may be used vary from race to race, the following are those that may be used by this faction:

Mythic Items

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Arabyan Puzzlebox = ”This elegantly crafted container houses many hundreds of glittering gemstones, each with the power to harness the Winds of Magic if used in the correct manner. Alas, the user can never truly be sure that the compartment he has opened will contain the gems he needed.”
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic

Black Book of Ibn Naggazar = ”Ibn Naggazar was a brilliant, if somewhat maniacal, Arabyan sorcerer. Whilst it is unknown whether his madness sprang from isolation, too many attempts at creating intoxicating ‘elixirs’ or the honeyed promises of whispering Daemons, there can be no doubt that he was utterly insane. No rational wizard would create a book inked on the skin of his closest family, much less constantly follow its advice.”
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic

Blade of Last Resort = ”This sword has ever had a twisted sense of humour, seeking out overmatched heroes and aiding them against a chosen foe. However, the Blade of Last Resort draws its strength from a victor’s glorious lifeblood; those that best an opponent with its aid themselves have scant moments to live.”
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic

Dawnstar Sword = ”Legend goes that this blade was forged in the first rays of light to strike the world. The energy of this auspicious enchantment remains embedded deep within the burnished blade, waiting to be called forth once more in a blaze of glory.”
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic

Dodecahedron of Continental Drift = ”Said to have been left behind by the Old Ones, this peculiar object can be used to remake the world. Each alteration to the Dodecahedron’s external matrix is reflected on the land around the user. Its ill-considered use can easily prove catastrophic…”
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic

Fozzrik’s Floating Fortress = ”Though Fozzrik’s magical aptitude led him to become a wizard, he never lost his love for architecture. Many of the Old World’s cities have been built around immaculate structures that Fozzrik created from stone and sorcery, but more prized by far are his floating fortresses - buildings that move under their own power and sprout defences to repel intruders.”
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic

Giantkin Helm = ”After constantly being told ‘We expect big things from you’ by his Elector Count father, Heinrich von Roth spent much of the family fortune commissioning an artefact that would help him achieve greatness. Alas, he was to learn that when dealing with wizards, precision of diction is just as important as largesse of payment.”
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic

Living Deadwood Staff = ”Arboreonecromancy is a little-practiced branch of wizardry - any mystic crazed enough to attempt it normally transfers his attentions back to raising zombies and skeletons, rather than undead trees. However, legends tell of the Archmage Sycamo, ‘The Daemon Carpenter of Estalia’, who not only perfected a method of reanimating trees from their residual elements, but also filling them with astounding vigour. Much of Sycamo’s work has, fortunately, been lost to the intervening aeons, but the Living Deadwood Staff never stays missing for long…”
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic

Paranoth’s Piquet Fence = ”Paranoth was a famous travelling mage, who trod every road ‘twixt Cathay and Naggarond. Naturally, only a particularly foolish wizard would journey such roads without defences, so Paranoth wove himself a sorcerous fence to defend his encampments whilst he and his companions slept.”
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic

Rockcharmer’s Flute = ”Androgast Gildheim was the first man in the Empire to master this granite flute, but its origins lie hidden in the mists of time. Some say that the Rockcharmer’s Flute was used to destroy the old Dwarfen realms, others that it sank the fabled realm of Seidon. However, the most popular tale concerns a drunken Halfling, the Rockcharmer’s Flute, a jug of lamp oil, a plate of sausages and the accidental creation of the Grey Mountains.”
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic

Silverstone Axe = ”In the ancient barrows that dot the Empire, huge enchanted axes forged of gromril, known to ancient men as Silverstone, have been found. Inert until the storms of magic howl, these axes are so heavy that only the strongest warriors can lift them and then impact shakes the ground, knocking armoured warriors from their feet while against wizards their effects are even more potent as the winds of magic lash and recoil at their blows. When a storm of magic rages these weapons are brought to the battlefield once again to bring down the titanic beasts set loose upon the world.” - Magic Weapon
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGc Monstrous Arcanum

The Crucible of Horrors = ”No one knows from whence the Crucible of Horrors came, but contained within the flash of twisted meteoric iron is a vortex of seething black energy which screams like the torment of damned souls. This deadly artefact has been sought out by many down the centuries, and it has passed through the hands of many tyrants, arch-sorcerers, wizards and kings, and at its use the destruction of cities and slaughter of armies has been laid. When unleashed the power of the crucible is erratic and dangerously unstable, but it can unleash devastation and even create nightmarish doppelgangers of slain monsters to fight at the wielder’s bidding. The power of the Crucible of Horrors is treacherous however, as more than one would be conqueror has found to their cost.” - Enchanted Items
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGc Monstrous Arcanum

The White Sistrum = ”There are many night-haunted legends originating from the foetid jungles and deadly wastes of the far hinterlands of Khuresh. Stories abound of the dread Snake Men and the foul and nightmarish Blood Naga queens who rule there, and it is a realm where men are no more than hunted prey, and blood and souls are the only coin in trade. Rarely do artefacts of this fell civilisation reach the Old World and all are steeped in blood and misunderstood power. One such artefact is the White Sistrum, a strange ivory-grown, drum shaped like an hourglass, whose discordant music brings madness and death, and evokes the terrible rites of the Naga.” - Arcane Item
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGc Monstrous Arcanum

Windcatcher Prism = ”This peculiar bauble was crafted long ago, its purpose very much tied to storms of magic. Once a particular Wind of Magic rises to a certain cataclysmic level, the Windcatcher Prism absorbs and rechannels a portion of its power, bestowing the bearer - and his immediate allies - with an avataric aspect of the ascendant Wind of Magic.”
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic

Woodwaker’s Wand = ”Once upon a time, all the woods in the world were linked. Some say this great forest was alive, in a curious sort of way, and that every tree that now grows retains a portion of its vigour and intelligence just waiting to be revived.”
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic

Wyssan’s Weighted Dice = ”This set of weighted dice is one amongst many forged by Arctovian Wyssan over the course of a long and (unsurprisingly) successful wagering career. At the bearer’s command, these skull-marked cubes play havoc with the laws of causality; turning certainty into bleak misfortune.”

Bottled Warships = ”The Magus took the bottle he was holding over to the shelves and replaced it amongst those that sat on individual pillows of pale leather made from human skin. Every one of the bottles contained a tiny warship, perfect in every detail.” Among those ships in his collection was the Shadewraith.
Dreadfleet by Phil Kelly - Epilogue

Flaming Scimitar = ”The ogre returned within minutes, carrying a large and exotically crafted scimitar, its blade ablaze with leaping white flames. Guth held the burning artefact by the hilt as if it were a live asp. Roth shielded his eyes from the sword’s brilliance, tinting his lenses to shut out the worst of the light.” Also known as the Sword of a Hundred Fiery Curses.

This is an attempt to collate important snippets of lore that I have found during my research into units.
