i've had the idea bouncing my head for a while of a bonkers fantasy-wargame faction that is doing the aesthetics of both kinds of Goths simultaneously
spear-wielding skirmishers with black eyeliner, mobile, rugged cavalry wielding minor necromantic magic and with Magically Enhanced Fishnets as a part of their armor
are you seeing the vision
narratively they'd work as a relatively young and up-and-coming kingdom/confederation formed from various tribes with a strong tradition of positively framed necromantic magic. i like the idea of a necromancer faction who aren't necessarily evilbadguys and instead treat the concepts of things like of communing with the dead and animating remains with a sort of cultural weight and respect
Somehow I only just realized that the first villain of Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts was named after Charlemagne and he turned a tribe of primates in mascara into French aristocrats.
