[edit] The Einar Imperium
The Imperium Kyries in the Heroscape Universe is part of the large and diverse Kyrie race. They appear as winged type beings, large humans in appearance with dark tanned skin and large raven-like wings.
Kyrie technology appear consistent with Earth’s Middle Ages however there is a strong abundance of magic in Valhalla which the Kyrie have successfully harnessed into their weaponry and armor.

Imperium Sets that have appeared:
Dawn of Darkness:
- Empress Kiova
Kyrie Warrior wielding a magical sword.
Her stark beauty is like the golden sun setting against a snow-covered horizon. Her family has ruled in Lindesfarme for generations beyond count. Just as her father before her, she inspires an extreme sense of loyalty in all of her servants.
Einar holds Kiova in high honor. She is spotted frequently in his court. Some tale-bearing Kyrie say that her visits serve not only to share plans of battle. Perhaps Kiova¹s stone heart is not so hard as she would have many believe.
The Empress is never seen without her personal escort of Imperium. When attacked, Kiova draws a rune-engraved sword and sings out in a clear and icy voice. Her song is a hymn of battle; its words bear an ancient magic. It is a prayer of protection for those who serve her.
- Einar Imperium
Kyrie Soldiers wielding twin swords
Among the rolling hills of Lindesfarme lays the heart of Einar¹s Empire, a gorgeous, gold-domed palace, built on the shimmering surface of Mirror Lake. The splendor of that site is unmatched in all of Valhalla; the very air glows with the golden image reflected off the water.
A long bridge, lined with rows and rows of golden arches, leads out to the palace. Under each and every arch stand two bronze-skinned Kyrie, members of Einar¹s elite Imperium.
Every member of the Imperium is loyal, disciplined, and altogether exceptional. They stand alert at their posts, their dual blades crossed upon their chests. Covering their faces are varied masks made from the same extraordinarily pure gold used in the building of the palace, mined from the nearby hills.
Enter the Valley unbidden and you¹ll find yourself quickly surrounded by an entire legion of these soldiers. Fail to turn back, and they¹ll not hesitate to cut you down where you stand.
