The Unchained's most fearsome warlord has escaped from the dungeons of Frostbite Fortress. He's not happy, and no one will stand in his way this time. Beware; Bloodspike, the Brutal, is coming.



Bloodspike is infamous as the most feared commander of the Unchained forces, not only because of his success on the battlefield but for the cruelty and brutality of his methods of motivating his forces. He was recently sent by the orcish matriarch Bionka to capture Eventide Fortress. Tundra was able to repel the assault and Bloodspike was captured and imprisoned by the grizzlies.

Bloodspike is a frontline leader who thrives off of the thrill of battle and spectacle of the carnage. He is at his best when escorting large armies that can fuel his abilities and his appetite. Bloodspike motivates his troops and strengthens his attacks through pain and fear, beating on his own minions to power his abilities. In order to maintain his attack, he is known to eat the flesh of his fallen men to keep his strength and ensure his orders are obeyed. From a playstyle standpoint, he is strongest when he stays with his minions and uses them to power up his abilities. He can then unleash devastating attacks when opponents approach the minion wave he is leading.

Centuries ago, the grizzlies pleaded for the Order's help in defending their lands against a massive orc invasion. The grizzlies had never encountered the orcs before, and were caught unaware by their numbers and brute strength. The Order courageously helped their northern neighbors, fighting back against the orcs and sacrificing many of their own in the fray. Once the orcs were defeated, the grizzly royal family swore an oath to the Order that they would come to their aid and repay their debt to them, no matter the cost.

Now, the time has come for that oath to be honored. With the threat of an invasion looming over the Territories Humaine, it comes down to Prince Tundra Frost, the Oathkeeper, to pledge his troops and his life to the defense of Eventide Cove and the Capital of the Territories Humaine.
