The Pirates of Sartosa in Immortal Empires
Aranessa is the Queen of the Tides and captain of the Swordfysh. Her association with Sartosa gives the campaign a living pirate identity within the Vampire Coast race. Stories call her a daughter of Manann, but that parentage remains a legend.
Sartosa Free Company and Sartosa Militia are her distinctive living crew options. She also commands undead troops and uses the race’s ships, Pirate Coves and Infamy. Plan around both parts of the roster when choosing which recruitment options to develop.
Lead the boarding action
Aranessa fights in melee rather than serving as the army’s dedicated spellcaster. Send her into a supported engagement, with a route for the rest of the crew to help her. A Rotting Promethean is among her mount options.
Living Sartosan troops give her army a different character from a purely drowned crew. Zombie Deckhands can still form a screen for Deck Gunners. Keep those jobs separate: infantry hold the enemy’s attention while firearms need an unobstructed line to a target.
Bring a caster with the crew
A Vampire Fleet Captain supplies magic that Aranessa’s own battlefield role does not provide. Check the recruit’s lore before deciding how it supports the living and undead parts of the army. A Gunnery Wight suits a fleet that needs another firearm specialist.
Curse of the Vampire Coast, and a living crew
Curse of the Vampire Coast unlocks Aranessa Saltspite. It is a Warhammer II campaign pack. The Warhammer II base game is optional when Warhammer III is the campaign entry, and the storefront has to match. She leads the Pirates of Sartosa. She is living. The Sartosa Free Company and Sartosa Free Militia are living crews. Vampire first mates raise the drowned. Her mount option is a Rotting Promethean.
The roster reveal arms her with a halberd and a net. Those are battlefield tools. Noctilus, Harkon, and Cylostra share the race and the ship, cove, and Infamy systems. Her campaign is the living pirate among them.
