The White Queen-Knight’s Pawn / Artist: Jordan Clarke / Biography: Danny The Equilord and his race, though no match for the White King’s enhanced and magically assisted army were no slouches in battle in their glory days before the rise of the Army of the White Wing and the Equilords amalgamation with it. / History will all show the Equilord as a peaceful and enlightened race but not one to shirk away from a battle if needed to defend itself. / The equine based lifeforms had also the knowledge and capacity to perform quite a few battle tricks of their own and it is these that the White King was so keen to have them as valued allies. / One major battle tactic of the infantry was to create illusions bordering on hallucinogenic, these would include the army morphing into schools of Hippocampus (horse/fish) complete with massive waves forming before it. / This of course was affective as any trebuchet or archery onslaught to the hapless foot soldiers usually facing the field opposite them and cause the opposition to scatter in wild flight.

The White King’s Pawn / Artist: Scott Robinson / Biography: Danny Barely human but loyal and savage / The King prefers to have those under him effective but expendable. / He has never let anyone grow close to him, even his Queen is a necessity of protocol. / His Majesty had the University of the Gear create the King’s personal guard from his own genes because of the high loyalty and devotion to the King this factored into their being. / Ironically though, they are not taken from the King but come from the Queen after it was discovered by the University that the King’s gene structure was abnormal and did not allow any cloning or modification in any shape or form. / A secret the Queen and University hold close to their breasts. / These fanatically loyal servants believe themselves to be children of the King and would lay down their lives with a mere whisper from the Him. / Extremities such as wings stubs and sexual organs that grafted on by the University staff to both hide the fact they are born female and as homage to the winged coat arms that the King insists appears on everything he rules.

The White Queen / Artist: thickblackoutline / Biography: Danny / The White Queen, Her Bishop and the University of the Gears… Artist Interview: thickblackoutline The Queen of the White army are bred to inspire and lead in Battle. Incredibly powerful, she has the King’s ear on all matters and her scepter gives her limited control over the Angel as well as the University’s supernatural creatures. / The Queen is in constant communication with the University due to the large role it plays with the army flank ultimately under her control and she is privy to much information. / The least of which is her knowledge that the King spawn are actually creations from her own gene pool predominantly mutated and rejected versions that hold no resemblance to herself. In a Kingdom that means exactly that. A King –dom. A Queen is expendable no matter how skilled or loved. / With this thought always plaguing her she is also wise to the fact that the King is in an almost self-destructive mode and offering up the kingdom to fight in the Galactic Battlefield – an unhealthy state of affairs for their survival. Fighting for your borders is one thing, fighting for your world’s very existence another entirely. /
