NAMES AND DEMEANOURS
This section is a tool to help you determine the names of your Hearthkyn Salvager operatives, the title of your kill team
and their unique character and history. If you wish to generate any of these randomly, roll the appropriate number of dice
as indicated by the table(s). Otherwise, choose whichever are your favourites, or use multiple quirks, names or background
ideas if you feel they work for your kill team.

OPERATIVE NAMES
If you wish to randomly generate a name for one of your Hearthkyn Salvager operatives, you can roll a D66 and consult the
appropriate tables below, or simply pick any combination that feels appropriate. To roll a D66, simply roll two D6, one after the
other - the first represents tens, and the second represents digits, giving you a result between 11 and 66.

Each time this operative drops, it counts any vertical

PLASMA BLADES
The Kin make substantial use of searing-hot plasma fields, either to wreathe blades or form the weapons themselves.
Such blades scythe through physical shields and body armour with equal ease, and reduce the foe to cauterised
chunks of meat. With each League of Votann possessing its own proprietary technology, the plasma blades wielded
by the Kin of different Leagues often glow hot in differing colours. For example, the blades fashioned by the Brokhyr
of the Greater Thurian League ripple with fiery orange, whereas those of the Trans-Hyperian League sear the eyes
with a bright teal. It is far from unheard of for Kin of one League to wield blades shimmering with the colours of
another, for the Kin are a trading people well used to the exchanging and purchasing of weapons from each other.
