Abhorrant Gorewardens serve to guard the borders of each Flesh-eater Court's territory, and are honoured with bearing the keys of the kingdom. Clad in what they perceive as great finery, these delusional vampires lead flights of bloodthirsty predators to fall on trespassers from above.
This terrifying gargoyle rides the winds of Shyish on bat-like wings, leaping from its crumbling perch to soar across the battlefield and seek out prey. Its monstrous form is adorned with a grisly parody of courtly regalia, and it clutches a set of keys in its razor-sharp talons – a symbol of its royal duty.
Additional information
Abhorrant Gorewardens are Abhorrant vampires of the Flesh-Eater Courts. In a Ghoul Court, the most loyal members of the sovereign's bloodline are given the title of Gorewarden.
These Abhorrants are given the 'keys to the kingdom', rusted relics that act as symbols of office for their new position. From then on, these Gorewarden guard the borders of their liege's lands. Taking over ruined fortifications, they watch for anyone foolish enough to wander into their territory. Once they spot a trespasser they swoop down and savagely slay them.
Gorewarden tend to fanaticism, seeing themselves as guardians of their liege's domain, in the same way Ushoran guarded Nagash's realm. Many Gorewarden arrange the bones of their slain foes in a sunburst around their neck in honour of Ushoran, the Summerking.
