Founded in the earliest days of Kin settlement, the Greater Thurian League is regarded by many of its peers as the wellspring of Kin civilisation itself. Its holds are ancient beyond reckoning, carved into worlds the Kin have worked since before the Imperium was a dream, and its Votann rank among the eldest and most venerated of all the ancestor-cores.
Thurian society is marked by a deep conservatism. Where younger, hungrier Leagues prospect recklessly at the galaxy's edge, the Thurians move deliberately, consulting their Ancestors on matters that other Leagues would settle in an afternoon. This caution can appear as arrogance to outsiders and even to fellow Kin, but it reflects a genuine sense of custodianship, a belief that the Greater Thurian League holds the truest inheritance of the race and must not squander it.
In war, Thurian Oathbands fight with disciplined, methodical precision, their warriors equipped from the finest of the League's ancient forges. They are slow to anger and slower still to forgive, and an enemy who earns a Thurian grievance may find the debt pursued with patient, generational determination long after the original offence has been forgotten by all but the Votann.
Order of battle
The Greater Thurian League field the units of the Leagues of Votann, a detachment from the roster:
Other Leagues of Votann formations
Kronus HegemonyA hard, militant League forged on the frontier, the Kronus Hegemony is known for its aggressive expansion and its willingness to seize by force what other Leagues would rather buy. Its holds sit amid contested territory, hemmed in by hostile xenos and grasping Imperial worlds, and generations of border conflict have bred a culture of pragmatic ruthlessness and formidable martial skill.
Trans-Hyperian AllianceA far-ranging confederation of prospecting fleets and frontier holds, the Trans-Hyperian Alliance spans a vast and scattered swathe of the galaxy. More a network of interdependent kindreds than a single centralised power, it thrives on trade, exploration, and the relentless pursuit of rare resources across some of the most remote and hazardous regions the Kin have ever claimed.
Urani-Surtr RegulatesThe Urani-Surtr Regulates, known to the Kin as the URSR, is a grim and unyielding League clinging to a swathe of embattled territory in the southern galactic core. Ringed by awakening Necrons, marauding Orks, and a festering Tyranid infestation, its Kindreds have made stubbornness into a virtue, prizing endurance and self-reliance where other Kin would coldly weigh the odds and withdraw. To have a warrior of the Regulates at one's side is to have a comrade who will not take a single step back.
Ymyr ConglomerateThe Ymyr Conglomerate is a wealthy and exacting League whose holds sit among the richest mineral seams of the galactic core. Small in number but peerless in craft, its Kindreds win entry only by proving both extraordinary skill at the forge and dominion over territory that yields a fortune in rare elements. Ymyr Oathbands march to war carrying the finest wargear the Kin can produce, trusting the quality of their arms to accomplish what other Leagues attempt with numbers.
