Violence erupts when the black banners of corrupt men fly. Those of the east and west, who consort with demons, ride to war - intent on the destruction of man's domain. Power corrupts, but its promise enslaves. It is with this promise, the black kingdoms have joined together in conquest. United under a tattered banner, they surge northward to crush the lone kingdom in resistance to demonic oppression. While equipped for war, the North is wholly unprepared for the horror that creeps across the land. Greed, power, and madness have begun to twist men into something less than human. Hellbent on dominion, the horde will not rest until the kingdom of man lies and ruins...

This is a flavor based deck(also relatively budget) to be played in a pod with like built decks in a role playing format. The idea is to crush your opponent with savagery. Play a Knight, make him stronger and attack.

Flavor for role playing story:

Men clad in thick black armor slaughtered the few remaining farmers before setting fire to their crops. Like a plague, the hordes of the eastern kingdoms swept through the lower plains of the North, razing farming land and overrunning defense garrisons with ease. Mehen, cleaned between the fingers of his gauntlet with a bloodied rag, scrubbing away the brain matter of a farmer's wife.

The eastern horde was blessed with inhuman strength and the inability to feel pain. The west, abominations, were undying. Mehen flexed his armored hand, checking between the digits and spike like protrusions for errant flesh. He was thankful for his blessings, but even more so for the ones he did not receive. The undying legions of the west were decaying, pus ridden monsters that hungrily tore apart the unblessed. Ravenous in their pursuit, western knights had been known for turning on their own when in dispute over 'prey'.

Mehen, like all eastern knights, had become permanently fused with his armor. Over time, the armor's corruption grew into his skin, turning his flesh a sickly grey hue. His veins took on a purple glow and protruded, becoming visible in their entirety to the naked eye. Mehen's face had long since drained of color, and he looked gaunt. Then men had lost all of their body hair, leaving them to look almost like skeletons, and strikingly similar.

Conquest brought the east and west together, and the promises of power left them as something less than human. Great power has its drawbacks, its responsibility. Mehen recognized the sacrifice he had made for the greater good. His good.
