Haloween Preview: Bolton Skinwearers image - Westeros: Age of Petty Kings mod for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms
Long before the rise of Valyria, Westeros was divided into countless Petty Kingdoms. In the south, the Reach is consumed by fire as weak kings are set upon from all sides, and strong ones vie for their remains. In Dorne, the deserts run red with blood and in the north four kingdoms struggle for supremacy, even as they face invaders from all sides. As chaos descends upon the lands of Westeros it remains to be seen which Kingdoms shall forge dynasties to last a thousand years, and which will fade into history.
House Bolton rules over the Weeping Moors with an iron fist. Any hint if revolt among their bannermen or peasantry is quickly put down by these men. Recruited mostly from convicts and murderers, these men enforce House Boltons will within their own lands, and will terrorize neighboring kingdoms when called to war. Most believe their clothing is made from human skin, but in truth pig skin is usually used. However, before any man may join this group me must first find an enemy of House Bolton (usually a peasant from the kingdoms of House Stark or Umber), and bring back their head. This is then skinned and worn as a mask, a reminder of the wrath of the Boltons.
While not a match for most heavy units on the battlefield, their greatest advantage is the sheer terror they strike into the hearts of their enemies. Oftentimes armies who could withstand them will turn and flee upon seeing the blank faces of the Skinwearer's previous victims staring back at them.
Awesome haha ! Nice idea :)
Oh my, great idea actually, a Bolton scare unit, well done!
