WARLOCK OF THE GREAT OLD ONE

Warlocks of the Great Old One gain their powers

through magical pacts forged with eldritch entities from
strange and distant realms of existence. Some of these
warlocks associate with cultists devoted to these enti-
ties, as well as aberrations that share their goals, yet
other warlocks of the Great Old One are experts at root-
ing out the insanity and wickedness inspired by bizarre
beings from beyond the stars.

WARLORD
Warlords are legendary battlefield commanders whose
names are spoken with awt. After a string of decisive
victories, a warlord could easily take on the role of mon-
arch or general and attract followers willing to die for WARLORD
