Ljost Alfar theme centers on solar radiance, disciplined ivory-clad ranks, and the "Best-Born" elitism of Alfar lineages. They fight with a cold, blinding elegance, utilizing light, in their silver- and gold-hued alloys.

 

----- ARMY -----

To ensure they feels like the "fairest and most elite", the army must follow these distribution ratios:

Category	Points Allocation (%)	Role
Command	15% – 25%	Force Multipliers & Morale
Core	25% +	The "Ivory Wall" and Foundation
Auxiliary	Up to 35%	Speed and Tactical Flexibility
Machines	Up to 15%	Long-range disruption
Support	Up to 20%	Sustain and Magical Dominance

Ljost Alfar prefer to have the sun bathe their faces and warm their hair, and only in special circumstances will they chose protection over sunshine. Thus, not all units may buy helmets as part of their armour. If eligable, they may buy it for 1 point per model.

Ljost Alfar has a fondness for embedded magic, and thus may some units buy similar Talismans:

TALISMANS

• Sun Skin; +1 health at 3 point per model.
• Life Seeker; +1 AIM at 2 point per model.
• Sun Shield; +1 protection at 1 point per model.
• Life Soaker; each hit gives +1 additional hit at 2 point per model.
• Life Drainer; each wound gives +1 additional wound at 3 point per model.
• Sun Halo; +1 morale at 1 point per unit.
• Life Shield; 4+ Magic resist roll at 10 point per unit.
• Stoicheian Skin; 4+ Regenerate roll at 10 point per unit.
• Divine Conduit; Unit generate D3 Magic Shards at 10 point per unit.
• Sunflare Ray; Unit gains a 5+ ward save at 10 point per unit.
