LORDS

Warhammer: Norsca
Contact The Old Sage

Lords (Jarls, Godi Lords, Wizard Lords, Runecarver Lords, and Shamaness Lords) are the highest ranking and most powerful characters in the Norscan list.

Lords are severely limited in number (see "Armies of Norsca") and are quite expensive, but make the best army Generals.

Here are the statistics for steeds that can be ridden by Norscan characters.  Full rules for these creatures can be found in the Norscan Bestiary.

Immune to Psychology.  Godi are immune to psychology, panic, and break tests.  If they are ever required to take any Ld test, they will pass it automatically, so no dice are rolled.
