=  Keywords  =


'''Keywords''' are bold, one-word phrases located in the game text of cards.  They come in two types, [[Loaded Keyword|Loaded]] and [[Unloaded Keyword|Unloaded]]. Loaded keywords inherently change gameplay based on the attributes of that keyword (for instance, '''[[Archer]]''' indicates that the Archery Total will be increased simply due to a card having the keyword). Unloaded keywords do not in and of themselves mean anything, but cards are likely to use them as a requirement or a restriction to an effect (for instance, being a '''[[Knight]]''' does not mean anything special except when a card states it only affects one).

Loaded keywords have three subtypes, ''[[item class]]'', ''numeric'' and ''non-numeric''. ''[[Item Class]]'' is reserved for [[Possession]]s and [[Artifact]]s, and limits how many of that particular class may be used by any one character. Numeric Loaded Keywords are always paired with a nonzero number (e.g. '''[[Hunter]] 2'''), while Non-Numeric Loaded Keywords naturally do not have a number (e.g. '''[[Fierce]]''').

Unloaded keywords likewise have two subtypes, ''[[Race]]'' for Characters indicating what race a particular [[Companion]], [[Ally]], or [[Minion]] is; and ''general'' which may apply to any card type.

''Easterling Regiment has two unloaded keywords ([[Man]] and Easterling) and one loaded one (Fierce).''
|text=Each card has one or more keywords that identify it. Most keywords are unloaded keywords, with no special rules (although they may be referenced by other cards). Keywords with rules are called loaded keywords.


Though a word which appears in the title or subtitle of a card may be the same as a keyword that exists in the game, that title or subtitle does not confer the keyword on that card.
