In the southward seas of Cygnar, lays the island empire of the Cryx. The Empire of Cryx is a nation made up of the legions of the undead. The Cryx empire resides in the islands of Scharde. These "people" worship the Dragonlord Toruk, a creature that can destroy towns with his claws and make the dead his legions. The Cryx are lead to battle by necromantic warcasters who spread his blight of malevolence and life-devouring savagery over all of Immoren. For sixteen centuries Cryx has evolved while Lord Toruk shaped every aspect of life and death.
