The creatures of the Flesh-eater Courts are touched by a curse that distorts their very perception of reality. While they believe themselves to be valiant knights and honest soldiers, they are in truth wretched fiends who hunger for the flesh of their enemies. In the ruins of war-toppled civilisations, ghoulish beings lurk on the border between life and death. Ruled by bestial vampires, these mordants are trapped in an arcane delusion; they see their foul lairs as majestic castles, and themselves as pious warriors. With the return of their beloved Carrion King, Ushoran, they have launched a crusade that sees their contagious insanity spread across the realms like never before.

Morbheg Knights are grisly ghoulish cavaliers, amongst the proudest and most skilled of any court’s mordant warriors. They bound to battle atop the half-living nightshriekers, monstrous predators descended from the ur-bat Morbheg, whose cackling screams inflict a gnawing madness on anyone unfortunate enough to hear them.
Grand Justice Gormayne is the highest magistrate in all of Ushoran's ghoul kingdoms. He ensures that the Carrion King’s laws and edicts are followed – no matter how insane they may be – and those who transgress are punished with grisly fates. A cunning orator, Gormayne spurs his ghoulish ‘juries’ into a frothing rage, condemning foes to be bloodily torn apart.
Scuttling, repugnant creatures whose insanity pushes them over the brink of madness into the belief that they are glorious, stout soldiers of a magnificent empire, Crypt Ghouls seek out fresh, raw meat – usually by killing anything in their path.
Abhorrant Cardinals are vampiric preachers that seek to spread the glory of Ushoran across every land. Having drunk from the Carrion King’s chalice, the Cardinals can unconsciously influence the shared delusion of their court, using bloody rites and gibberish hymns to conjure miracles that stoke their flocks’ rabid fury.
Haunting the night as vague silhouettes framed against a moonless sky, Crypt Flayers search tirelessly for enemies of their glorious court. Once spotted, their prey is swept upwards, gleaming fangs sunk deeply into their necks, leaving nothing behind but a drop of spilled blood.
Marrowscroll Heralds are senior delegates of their vampiric masters, sent to deliver entreaties – in the form of bloodied offerings and infectious madness – to the leaders of other nations and enlist their aid in the name of a "noble" cause. To lend legitimacy and ceremony, they often march at the head of a coterie of loyal warriors – or rather, a pack of slavering ghouls.
Battletome: Flesh-eater Courts is the comprehensive guide to collecting and fielding the cannibalistic monstrosities of the Flesh-eater Courts. In thrall to a deep delusion, these unwitting servants of Death believe themselves to be noble knights and warriors – instead, they are savage, degenerate killers.
Ushoran is an ancient and monstrous lord, one of the very first vampires, and stands amongst the most dreaded of Nagash’s Mortarch lieutenants. He is the Carrion King, the Lord of Masks, the Master of Feasts, the Mortarch of Delusion, and many titles besides. He is the father of abhorrants, and the origin of the accursed delusions that envelop the Flesh-eater Courts. His very presence can reduce mortals to slavering insanity and escalate the mania of his ghoul servants to terrifying heights, even as their king annihilates foes with truly monstrous strength.
The Flesh-eater Courts reign in the shadows of ruined empires. Hordes of cannibals gather under the deluded rule of vampiric abhorrants, utterly convinced that they are noble knights and faithful serfs engaged in righteous quests.
The Cryptguard are ghouls of uncommon tenacity and worth, elevated to an elite station by performing some great feat of endurance in the sight of their vampiric liege. Charged with protecting their unholy masters, these faithful mordants wield weapons gifted from the royal armoury – rusted, gore-caked blades, soaked in decades of maddening energies and infectious filth.
Archregents are Ghoul Kings who have ruled for hundreds upon hundreds of years, growing terrifyingly powerful. They are mighty vampiric warrior-kings and are accustomed to instant obedience from all those around them.
Royal Decapitators are the unholy executioners of the Flesh-eater Courts, viewed with unease even by fellow ghouls – more than hunger or duty, they care only for the dealing of death. Dragging huge, tarnished axes behind them, the Royal Decapitators serve their lieges as gibbering executioners, and delight in taking worthy heads.
