Marauder

Magelord culture was, at the height of the empire's power, strictly segregated into brutal warrior-castes, whose rise and fall was dictated by their victories in battle. Little regard is paid to this outdated militarism now—Marauder captains like Ashe maintain power simply by instilling fear, and slaying their rivals.

Marauder Ashe

Xin Zhao

A horde of nomadic warriors with a taste for brutality, the Marauders are all that remain of Magelord warrior culture, their ancient traditions abandoned in favor of anarchic shows of force. No dispute is settled until blood is spilled, even within their own ranks. They lost sight of what led their ancestors to war in the first place and what ultimately led to their victory.

Though the rigid laws, empires, and political turmoil that lead to the Rune War have since faded into antiquity, the tales of legendary battles fought on the Fields of Justice are kept alive by the remnants of the Magelords and Protectorate. The Marauders and Wardens continue their ancestors' legacy of war and animosity, despite how removed they are from those initial conflicts.

Marauder Xin Zhao

This chroma was released as a bundle exclusive in 2021.

Though brutal, the Marauders still follow a martial order established during the era of the Magelords. These commanders seek only to reclaim the might with which their order once ruled. Xin Zhao is one half of the pair of current leaders. Pragmatic and measured, he has resurrected an ancient Magelord to destroy his foes once and for all.

Alistar

Though the great armies of the Magelord Empire have vanished into antiquity, their modern descendants uphold the vicious brutality of their ancestors. Alistar, a prime specimen of the beastmen hordes, now fights for the same culture that conquered his own people so very long ago.
