Yoroni One Player Starter Set

The Yoroni are the returned spirits of the legions of the War of Hosts, primordial shards of Creation and Destruction that fought for supremacy under the Four Horsemen, near the dawn of this cosmos of Balance. At the end of the War of Hosts, when the Dragons defeated the Four Horsemen, the foot soldiers of this conflict, humble shards and motes of Primordial Creation and Destruction, were gathered up and cast into the Elemental Cores of Balance, in the hopes that the overwhelming environment would change them or break them down. There, they endured millennia untold, the inimical forces slowly grinding away their power and very personae. This changed a few millennia after the dawn of mankind, when an isolated tribe developed a unique philosophy and began worshiping balance and its constituent parts: the elements and the Void, birthplace of primordials. Given the nature of belief, these prayers slowly found their way to their Ideals, the depths of the Elemental Domains where the primordial spirits first perceived them.

Through these prayers, a path was created, ephemeral and elusive, proving almost impossible to climb. It took centuries of effort, pain and dejection before the first of the spirits was able to climb the first step of this path by aligning with the beliefs and philosophies that constituted it. In time, that demon prince paved the way for its peers to follow and the simple stairs became an impossible pagoda, the pilgrimage of thousands of spirits making it stretch to impossible dimensions, starting from the depths of the Elemental domains and piercing them all; but it could not pierce through to the Prime and the mortal world came to symbolize ascension, enlightenment and freedom. So, the spirits endured, their ceaseless toil and discipline making the Pagoda a world onto itself, contained within the bowels of Balance, but apart. A place where they could learn, refine and uplift themselves through meditation, discipline and devotion.

But now something has changed. The Mantle that separates the Prime from the Elements was weakened and in that weakness it became vulnerable. Countless eons of significance and devotion have granted the pagoda such a powerful presence that in this ripple of the Veil, its highest layers now escape the elemental bowels of Balance and allow the most enlightened to step through into their long promised heaven.

Yoroni are your good-old elite brawler army ready to take any enemy head-on and survive the onslaught! However, they are not without their tricks – bringing two entirely new Faction Rule concepts to the game!

Each Yoroni Character or Regiment belongs to one of five Types and brings an Ideal Card of that Type in the game. ANY Ideal Card however, can be used to Activate ANY Regiment or Character in the game. Should an Ideal Card Activate a Regiment of the same type it also bestows additional abilities to it! Don’t be fooled! Although you can Activate everything with any Ideal Card – sequencing is important as only Regiments of the same Type benefit from the card’s effects. Choose the sequence of Activations very carefully as these effects are the difference between winning and losing the game!

Army List building works a bit differently as well! Yoroni also introduce the concept of Modular Regiments to Conquest TLAOK. When creating a Modular Regiment pick any Stands from the list in any combination as long as you define one as the Regiment’s Leader and at least half of the Stands are the same as the Leader Stand.

Miniatures are supplied unpainted and some assembly may be required.
