Legendary Lord character traits

Legendary Lord character traits are character traits which apply specifically to Legendary Lords, or are gained after you defeat a Legendary Lord in battle in the campaign.

These can be lord traits, which are always given to a legendary lord, or they can be victory traits which require defeating a certain legendary lord to get on your character.

Spawn traits

When legendary lords are spawned on the campaign map, they are bestowed with unique traits which are exclusive to them. Nobody else can obtain them and they cannot be lost either. The only way to get a legendary lord spawn trait is to own the relevant legendary lord.

Although the tables below compile the many traits alphabetically by race and by lord, you may sort by any header of your choosing.
