The Ash-Walkers

The Ash-Walkers were born during the Siege of Valerost three years ago when the Kaiser's 7th Division was ordered to hold a doomed fort as a distraction. Abandoned by their high command and subjected to days of relentless white phosphorus shelling, the survivors crawled into the soot-clogged industrial sewers. Instead of dying, they mutated their grief into a violent rejection of the Imperial Cult. They emerged from the ruins not as soldiers of the Crown, but as vengeful ghosts. They have since expanded into a network of disillusioned factory workers and deserting trench-fighters, turning the very industrial machinery of the empire against itself.
