Update One
Opening Heroes:
Craetoria: Harkaren, the
Clemen
The massive ruby dragon raised his head, smoke leaking from between his laws as he exhaled. Obviously he had been asleep when Krestt threw the doors open. But his golden eyes glowed with an energy and passion that was almost terrifying. The leader of the dragonclan Clemen
stood, stretching his wings fifty feet to either side, his head rising almost a hundred off the floor.
Harkaren is wise and strong, a fighter who served in the Shadowblade Crisis. He is leader of the clan
Clemen, as was his father before him. In-game:
+2 Morale to any battle he is dispatched to, -1 Unrest if primary deity is Cennet.
Republic of the Goblin Peninsula: Koton goblin-king
Koton was short, even for a goblin, standing only four feet tall. His eyes were a brownish-gold, his skin a sickly green. At his side rested his omnipresent sword, a handle made of ivory and a blade of fine steel.
Koton is an intelliget and moral ruler of Kepholon, the Goblin Kingdom. He has led it through the Mage's War and the Shadowblade Crisis well enough, and is highly popular with his people. In-game: +2 Morale to any battle he is dispatched to, -1 Unrest among Goblins.
Militant Federation of Tropiko Dasos: Steelscale
The steel-colored Lesser Dragon wove through the skies, his long body trailing behind him. His angular mouth seemed to grin as he landed before Agente, his wings folding into his body. His eyes were a bright green, almost mesmerizingly so. With a snort he turned his head and blew a breath of green fire onto one of the burning trees, extinguishing the flames with his arcana and starting the heal the plant.
Steelscale is the only Lesser Dragon male to truly be a warrior in his own right, having personally been training by Cel'aksh. For all his power, he is something of a nature spirit, seeking to protect the ecology of the South, as well as aid the foes of darkness. In-game: +1 Morale to any battle he is dispatched to, -1 Unrest among Lesser Dragons, -1 Unrest if Primary Deity is Cel'aksh.
Alliance of Eastern Elves: Crown Prince Cedric of Ethara
Cedric was shorter then his younger brother, only a little over six feet. His features were sharper, tougher, and he was more muscular. He was not a mage like Asona, but the bow slung casually on his back and the rapier in his belt argued that even the firstborn of the elf-queen was not to be trifled with.
Cedric is the Crown Prince of the only elven nation on the planet, Ethara. Like all elves, he treats the Progenitor as his patron, always watching him. However, when he fought in the Shadowblade crises he lost his left middle finger in combat, a powerful indicator that he was not meant to face Ethara's enemies on the field. In-game: +10% Arcane Research, -1 Unrest among elves, -1 Unrest if the Progenitor is your primary deity.
The Western Throne: Ishhrggen
The green-scaled snakeman whipped his twin swords around one last time, eviscerating the last human slaver, then froze in a guard stance. With no more foes in sight, he calmly rammed the shining steel weapons into the dirt and turned his pure yellow, vertical-pupiled eyes onto Laiin. He hissed something that reminded her of an angry rattlesnake, then leaned forward into a bow.
Ishhrggen is descended from a long line of political dissidents in Zelkonia. He has had some affiliation with the League of Zarachka, the official opposition, but chose to forward his clan by serving in the away teams sent to the Continent to protect the slave trade. It was there that he made his fateful choices to follow his own morals and not those of the Warlord. In-game: +1 Morale to any battle he is dispatched to, +50% chance of surviving Assassination.
The Foundation to the Foundation: Laiin II, the Lady
Asmeelta
Laiin stood stock-still, waiting for her opponent to make the first move. Her coppery brown eyes never strayed even as she subtly shifted from side to side, her locks of ruby-red hair firmly contained in a bun at the back of her head.
Laiin is the twin sister of Mitenov, Crown Prince of Jinon. She is very well trained in combat and magic, and her continuing struggle to escape the persona of the "Lady
Asmeelta" -
the King's Assassin - is one of the major points of the book. In-game: +50% chance of success at assassination, +50% chance of surviving Assassination.
