DawnbringerProphet

"Dawnbringer Prophet" is a Cities of Sigmar inspired mod for COE5. More specifically, it draws heavily from Dominion by Darius Hinks and Yndrasta: The Celestial Spear by Noah Van Nguyen for key fiction inspiration.

Dawnbringer Prophet is a gold+iron+relics (+ two other resources, potentially) faction that starts as a moderately armed caravan, founds a city in the mountains, and gradually diversifies. Through rituals and rare commander officers, you will gradually gain access to a variety of "subfactions". These will give you new capabilities. Many of your Relic powered rituals will produce Strange Mist on the tiles where you cast them, which can potentially affect your ability to see what is happening on the world map. Your economy will be very strong in the early game, but you lack much access to high level battle magic.

Please note that this mod was created with fondness for both Age of Sigmar and Conquest of Elysium, but I am not interested in faithfully translating every detail of the tabletop wargame. I highly recommend checking out Vorochi's Warhammer Fantasy and 40k mods if you are more interested in that approach to faction design, they've been doing some phenomenal work!
Please DO suggest more jokes about silly lore details I can put in my unit descriptions. The unreliable narrators are one of the most delightful aspect of modern Conquest of Elysium, and this mod was in large part created off of imagining how those unhinged scholars would misunderstand first contact with warhammer's particular flavors of nonsense.

This faction gets to recruit Stormcast elite soldiers in Bronze Castles, but I recommend that you think very carefully before you open that Experimental Star Bridge with your Knight-Incantor. It may not pan out the way you hope, comrade! There are at least two hidden ways to set off an apocalyse with Dawnbringer commanders.

Thank you to the modding support channel on the CoE discord!
(mechanically inspired by the Great Houses of Morrowind mod by Please Differ Your Deliberations on coe5 steam workshop, some of Vorochi's Warhammer mods and particularly Vampire Counts playtesting. Probably a bit of Terracotta Emperor there too, I definitely got ideas from them using Enchanted Weed as incense.)

Thanks for reading. Whoever you are, I hope you have a lovely day!
