One thing that the 1st Edition had that the new 2nd Edition has expanded on is the Warlock class.
The book tells us:
Some warlocks practice the sorcery of cryomancers and may be referred to as ice lords; others practice the sorcery of pyromancers and may be referred to as fire lords. Perhaps the most feared and reviled of warlocks are those who practice the black arts of necromancy (death soldiers)...Pretty cool really. And it got me thinking.
Yesterday I worked up the character Grimalkin as a warlock that has chosen witch magic as her type of Sorcery. There is something interesting here. Something pretty cool.
Witch Lords
Warlocks the choose witchcraft as their sorcery see (Vol. II, p. 148: Table 68) are known as Witch Lords. These warlocks are often found protecting the covens of more powerful witches or ruling over covens of less powerful ones.

The troop gathered include these 0th-level fighters of 1d8 hp each (known as cowans).
* 15 longbowmen (studded armor, longbows, short swords)
* 5 cavalrymen (chain mail, lances, light crossbows, horseman’s flails; light warhorses)
* 20 light crossbowmen (chain mail, small shields, light crossbows, long spears, short swords)
* 15 halberdiers/pikemen
They also gather the following coven
* 9 initiate witches of 0 level
* 3 witches of 1st level
* 1 witch of 2nd or 3rd level
A 9th level witch and a 9th level Witch Lord that gather together can create a cult stronghold to house all these members.
Once again, AS&SH is firing up my imagination for a game.
