Name of Power - The Raid

Name of Power - The Raid is a unique Revered Name of Power dilemma for the Dark Elves race introduced in Total War Warhammer II and which grants a unique name and associated permanent lord's army bonuses to any standard lord.

The player is presented with two specific names, The Grey Vanquisher and Krakenclaw, from the pool of Revered names which itself contains twelve options. This unique duo enables the player to chose between major armour, moderate upkeep and minor melee attack bonuses for a few units, such as Shades and Dark Riders, or huge armour-piercing missile damage and armour-piercing weapon damage bonuses for Black Ark Corsairs units.

The lord will be given a trait with the same name as the chosen name which cannot be lost in the campaign or in battle due to action effects.

In-game description
"Whilst raiding, your fleet spots a small, relatively-undefended coastal village; an attractive target. As a demonstration of force, your Black Ark Corsairs could assault the village by sailing directly into the bay and storming the beach. However, there could be prudence in beaching further downwind and attacking secretely, under cover of darkness..."
