The subtle magic of a Soothsayer allows the wizard to expand his senses outside of his body, including through time itself. They can reach into the past to learn the secrets of his tory, or they can look into the future and try to catch a glimpse of things to come. There are very few young Soothsayers. Something about the patience and concentration required favours the old. Soothsayers are most easily recognizable by their eyes, which are almost always very pale, and often posses a somewhat empty stare. Because Soothsayers often collect items of clothing with interesting past histories, they tend to wear an odd mix of clothing and equipment; a Soothsayer sees nothing odd about wearing an expensive and stylish cloak over worn and badly stained robes, or having an old seashell hanging on a leather strap right next to a priceless emerald.Two 28mm sized Pewter miniatures, supplied unpainted. Amidst the frozen ruins of an ancient city, wizards battle in the hopes of discovering the treasures of a fallen empire. In this fantasy skirmish wargame, each player takes on the role of a wizard from one of ten schools of magic, and builds his band of followers. The wizard's apprentice will usually accompany his master, and more than a dozen other henchman types are available for hire, from lowly thugs to heavily armoured knights and stealthy thieves. Wizards can expand their magical knowledge by unlocking ancient secrets and may learn up to 80 different spells.
