The Cult of Sotek in Immortal Empires
Tehenhauin leads the Cult of Sotek in Immortal Empires. The Prophecy of Sotek gives the faction a sequence of objectives, while Sacrificial Offerings feed its sacrifice system. Consider the next prophecy objective when choosing a war, rather than treating every nearby settlement as an equally useful target.
Offerings can come from battles and Sotek buildings. Sacrifices spend that resource on rewards and campaign effects. Look at the available choices before spending: an immediate benefit can compete with something more useful for the next offensive.
Support a Skink-led attack
Tehenhauin brings a spellcasting lord to a faction strongly associated with Skinks. Keep fast troops working together around an enemy's exposed side. Their mobility is useful only while they have room to withdraw or support the next attack.
Saurus Warriors can provide a holding line while Skink Skirmishers shoot from another direction. A melee character can help hold an enemy away from the prophet when his attention is on casting.
Sotek and the spawning pool
The Invocation of Sotek is a major reward in the sacrifice system, bringing an aspect of the serpent god into battle. Plan its use around an engagement where your army can follow up.
Sacrificial Offerings and Spawning Sequence are separate resources. The former serves the Cult's sacrifices; the latter is used for Blessed Spawnings. Keep the two recruitment and reward systems distinct when deciding how to reinforce an army.
Prophet of Sotek
Tehenhauin is the Lizardmen lord in The Prophet and the Warlock. The 4 April 2019 FAQ calls him the prophet of Sotek and the leader of the Red Crested Skinks, and it says their sacrifices are how the serpent becomes manifest. Warhammer II alone unlocks Mazdamundi and Kroq-Gar. The Cult of Sotek adds the Prophecy of Sotek and Sacrificial Offerings on top of the shared Lizardmen tools.
He is a Skink spellcaster. Saurus Warriors can hold a line while Skink Skirmishers shoot. The same FAQ sets him on a collision course with Ikit Claw, and both of them fight the Vortex in that pack. Temple of the Serpent is the novel that sends Thanquol to kill the Prophet of Sotek. A Cult of Sotek campaign is a different war from that errand.
