Arisen 1.7.0
In Third Age 4286, when the Isle of Ljostari sank and Mt. Vula erupted, the Deep Blue Tsunami, an enhanced mixture of Astral Mana and Worldly Water, flooded many Isles several miles inland. This disaster heralded the Fourth Age and created the Arisen. The now-contaminated sea has since been called 'The Deep Blue'.
Deep Blue Drops
The general gain 1 'Deep Blue Drop' per unit of 4+ models, and 1 per chariot/war machine at the beginning of the turn.
Maelstroem Mists (SPELLS)
As the general is a Maelstroem Mist Masters they may blind-draw Maelstroem Mist cards at the beginning of each game round. The amount drawn equals the generals Maelstroem Mist Master level + the die roll of an average D6 (2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5). After reviewing the drawn cards, an amount equal to the roll is returned to the deck. The general may use Maelstroem Mist card at any instant during the round and the casting costs are shown on the cards. When the round is over, all Maelstroem Mist cards are returned to the deck, and it's reshuffled.
If the General is slain, each Unit rolls for Gravecalling. On 1 + the amount of rounds since the general's death, it's removed as a casualty. If resisting each Unit still generates their own 'Deep Blue Drops' for activation.
The General may turn the opponents casualties into new Arisen Zombies. These can only be activated by the General, unless they get into Base-to-Base contact with, and are merged into a Champion led Unit of similiar type.
The Arisen don't use Divine Objects, but have their own Command Shrines with ranges depending on the amount of Deep Blue Drops.
