Bannor

History:

Spoiler :

The Bannor started with a handful of people, trapped in hell during the fall of Braduk but rescued by Sabathiel, an angel in Junil's service. In exchange for their salvation, the spirits bound themselves and their descendants to ceaselessly battle the forces of chaos and disorder. As Sabathiel led the honourable spirits forth into the light, they formed the vanguard in a devastating war against the Clan of Embers, even more powerful then than they are today. Throughout the entire Age of Magic, the Bannor waged brutal and merciless war not only on the Clan, but on all who would not submit to law and order.
Throughout this war of liberation and extermination, these heroes of an ancient age forged conquered, allied, and submitting tribes, cities, and nations into a human empire which, with the aid and guidance of Sabathiel, has stood firm even against the ravages of the Age of Ice, when all other nations were scattered and confounded. Though a shadow of its former power, the Bannor have already begun the work of rebuilding their strength to continue the fight their mythical forefathers swore them to.

This doesn't work with the current story...

the Bannor served Bhall int he age of magic. the Clan didn't exist then. WHich is correct?

The Clan is Bannor. When Bhall fell some Bannor were mutated into Orcs. The orcs became the Clan and fought with the Bannor.

Kael has already stated that the pedia entry is wrong: "Age of Magic" should probably read "Age of Rebirth." The Bannor were in hell for most of the Age of Ice, but they did return and begin fighting the Orks before Mulcarn's reign ended and the Ice thawed. I doubt they had much of an empire to protect during the Ice Age though.

I this this may have been written before Kael had his story down. It is certainly not correct now.
