hope I was able to create the proper atmosphere one would
experience being a part of one.

Hired Assassin
All - Unit - Agent - Cost 5
A Word from the Artist:
It's a colored and inked pencil sketch put through some
photoshop post processing. In the complete version (it wouldn't
fit on the card) there is a dead guy hanging from the rope. I
particularly like the green glow from the poison bottle.

Angry Townsfolk
Human - Unit - Townsfolk - Cost 2
A Word from the Artist:
"drawing multiple people, otherwise known as a 'mob',
is something I don't take pleasure in, then I think few people
do... after the first 5 it gets a little tiresome. originally my
plan was to have close up of multiple people facing onwards all
holding pitch forks and flaming torches... but after playing
around with some ideas in my head i came up with this, I think
as a picture I like this better as the image seems to tell so
much, there is almost a story in this picture. I guess it's true
what they say about the 1000 words.

Archers
Human - Unit - Archer - Cost 3
Card History:
Range cards have changed a lot during the creation of the
game. This was one of the first range cards made and it
was one of the first pictures I envisioned when Bellum was made
3 years ago but I never got around to drawing it. This was
finally drawn just a few weeks ago.

Watchtower
Human - Fortification - Cost 2
No Dirty Trick can be played on Units here.
Card History:
The art for this card has been done twice. Pictured
below is the original art. The newly redone art, I
believe, fits Bellum's look and feel, as well as fits the cards
name much better.

Church of Logos
Path
Human - Structure - Church - Cost 6
Clergy Units may use their ability in any
play zone when here.
Card History:
The word "logos" is a translated word
from the bible meaning Lord or God. So this is
the church of God's path. This card inspired a
whole slew of cards and ideas for each race.
Each race will have sub groups of cards that are
linked back to their home structure and gain abilities
when they are both in play.

Ethereal Warrior
Undead - Unit - Ghost - Cost 5
Does not take damage from RNG attacks.
Card History:
We held our own renaissance fair this year and one
of the folks that helped out wanted to try on our
armor. So we let him play around and he wanted a
picture of himself to show his friends. He gave
us permission to use it as a card in Bellum.
Thanks Nate for giving us a great idea and pose for
our card.

Vampire
Undead - Unit - Vampire - Cost 7
For each Unit Vampire kills in combat,
put a Vampireling in play in the
same zone where the unit died.
When Vampire dies, so do all Vampirelings made by this
Vampire.
Card History:
This is the first card that featured a guest
artist. George has been a long time friend of
ours and has agreed to do a bit of art for us.
We made sure to reserve the rights to do Vampire art
for him since every game we have played with him, he
has found a way to bring a vampire into it or to
redraw current art for other games for fun. The
Vampire ability wording has changed over the beta,
from being misspelled, to complete rewording of the
ability. You can see the misspelled version by
checking out our preview
picture of our software. But still retaining
the ability to make token units. This is the
first Unit to make more units.

Nightfall
Undead - Event - Cost 2
All Undead units gain +1 ATK till end of turn.
Card History:
This was one of the first cards designed for the
game and was part of the beta. It is part of a
concept that came about to add different times of day
to the game that would effect game play. Each
race will have some type of card to this concept.
When it was originally designed it had a 0 cost but
was deemed too strong an ability to be played for
free, especially when more than one was played in the
same turn.
