Overlords and Guardians. Alarian Incident. (OOC: Closed Private.)

[Kadaeux]

CONTINENT OF ALARIA

NATIONS OF ALARIA.
The five nations of Alaria are the central focus of all events major or minor. Within the Kingdoms of Alaria events are not so peaceful, stable or civil.

Black Kingdom of Khaelesh.
The Black Kingdom of Khaelesh is named for its master. Through not the largest of the Kingdoms it is by a significant margin the most dangerous of them all. Its Borders are protected by great armies and walls. The magicians of Khaelesh’s order serve to reinforce his lines wherever they lay. There have been nine incursions by Khaelesh into the other Kingdoms, each more devastating than the last and only the combined might of all four other Kingdoms have kept him from overrunning them completely.
The Black Kingdom is highly mountainous and is fairly diverse as far as terrain goes though it is known his kingdom has no desert or swamps it is known that he has forests and plains and believed he has tundra lands as well. Just about all the races believed to be considered evil have found their homes within the Black Kingdom where they thrive.
Periodically Khaelesh flexes his muscle and sends an army to do whatever it feels like to its immediate neighbours.

================================================== ===============================================

Royal Kingdom of Alvias
The kingdom of Alvias is the Black Kingdoms nearest neighbor and has all too often borne the brunt of Khaelesh’s assaults. Indeed, over the centuries the Kingdom has suffered under the influence of the Overlord so greatly that it has never fully recovered from any of Khaelesh’s major incursions. All its cities are walled with high walls and its fortresses are built tall. And yet, they are hasty constructions built more with speed than skill, many of their cities and fortifications are thus falling apart, their Capital City Alvi, has its entire north wall basically crumbling, it is said that it can lose a foot of height in any heavy rain. But few put stock in that.
The Kingdom of Alvias is ruled by Queen Mehrana Kindos, though her rule is unpopular and many of the people don’t feel that she is strong enough to defend their borders against Khaelesh’s predations. The population is varied but mostly Elf, Dwarf and Human stock with some small quantities of the demihuman races. When preyed upon the Kingdom of Alvias however typically summons its armies to its crumbling fortifications to try and hold them while not even attempting to stop the enemy burning the rest of their Kingdom.
For all their experience in war against the Overlord they have suffered too much under Khaelesh’s hand to grow strong and in fact have grown weak and fearful of war. While they can fight, and fight fanatically, they would strongly prefer flight to fight. They’re a people deathly afraid of Overlords and what they’ve done to the Kingdom.

================================================== ===============================================

Empire of Bratei
The Empire of Bratei is a strong country, a Southern Kingdom bordering the Kingdom of Alvias. The Bratei Empire has numerous treaties with Alvias but is growing increasingly discontented with its neighbor and its tendencies to hide in their cities and castles whenever feet rumble in the Black Kingdom. A proud righteous people they take faith in the Celestial Realms very seriously and are often the homeland for the few Guardians that patrol the world. And indeed. The Emperor of Bratei himself is said to hold a treaty with the Celestial realm for troops from the heavens whenever Khaelesh begins another incursion.

But Bratei for all its pride and strength hides foundations of sand. The people of Bratei are fearful of the Church’s power and influence and its tendency to conduct routine purges of the lower cities of all its ‘heretics’ loosely defined as any homeless, beggars, cripples or other such ‘dregs’ of humanity.

There is also always talk of corruption in the Imperial Court and the Inquisitors of the Church hover silently watching for any signs but the corruption eats deep within all the institutions, Khaelesh has grown bored with the failure of direct assaults and has contented himself with seeding the Empire with agents to undermine it from within.

================================================== ===============================================

Kratocracy of Deimos
The Kratocracy is a militaristic nation to the North of Bratei, this strong proud people are staunch avowed enemies of Khaelesh. Their warrior culture is the envy of the free Kingdoms and they don’t lightly tolerate trespass on their lands. They are ruled by Kratarch Ashzlan Grindhold, the former Clan Chief of the Grindholds his ascension to Kratarch was not without scandal. Even now there are those in the lower clans who believe that Ashzlan purchased his place as Kratarch with funds from the Black Kingdom.
The people of Deimos are proud and typically slow to listen or heed rumour which is why the very scandal of Ashzlan becoming Kratarch is taken with such seriousness by the people of Deimos, the country is on the verge of civil discord and war over the issue though both sides of the argument have their eyes firmly on the Black Kingdoms border, though at a boiling point it is clear to any who cared to see that, push come to shove, an incursion or action by the Overlord would re-unite the country against him.
The Kratocracy is old and is beginning to show its wear at the seams. There are those who look at the Kratocracy and are beginning to wonder how long the warlike nation can continue to weather the assaults of Khaelesh before the warrior spirit is crushed for good.

================================================== ===============================================

Kingdom of Lleywon
The kingdom of Lleywon is the backbone of the alliance against Khaelesh’s predations and is the largest of the four kingdoms. It shares no border with Khaelesh’s realm but is the first to send troops whenever Khaelesh’s armies are on the move. The people of Lleywon are strong moral people who believe strongly in the Celestial Realms, though they don’t have any direct contact such as that Bratei is said to have it does have some of the finest cathedrals in the world.

The armies of Lleywon are heavily reinforced with the finest Centaur Cavalry in the world known as the Silver Charges of the Priest-King. Which brings us to the next point, the Kingdom of Lleywon is entirely ruled by its clergy. Their greatest rank is that of Priest-King and this man rules the kingdom with an iron grip. Free of the Overlord Khaelesh’s border they have a strong sense of independence and the kingdom isn’t plagued by discord and trouble that has been infecting the others for the past several decades. But its people are also largely overconfident and headstrong. Unlikely to call for help due to their pride it may be what destroys them.

But Overlords should beware. The kingdom of Lleywon if roused to a threat is quick to anger and retaliate. And will do so strongly.

================================================== ===============================================

OTHER POWERS.
There are many other powers in the world. The one you are most familiar with are the Overlords and Guardians and their influence and strength can often be felt far from their domains.

Overlords.
Overlords are beings of undiluted evil. Their sole goals are to further their own desires and ambitions. Overlords range quite far in their natures. Some are great wizards ruling from their towers seeking ancient and very forbidden knowledge, others are Beasts, intelligent but dedicated to unbridled violence for sport and plunder, yet others are the dark whispers in the ears of those too weak to resist their advances furthering some political ambition. In any case, an Overlord will have their lair and an army of servants to make their will known, and felt.

================================================== ===============================================

Guardians.
There is no “chicken/egg” argument with Overlords and Guardians. The Overlords came first and in all cases Guardians have risen to challenge them. Usually with some event in their history at the hands of an Overlord these people rise above the others with gifts from the gods granting them power beyond that of normal mortal ken and even physical abilities. Guardians are dedicated wholly to stopping the Overlords from whatever it is the Overlords plan on doing. These people are generally considered to be holy and virtuous. And indeed most, but not all, are.

================================================== ===============================================

Celestial Realm.
The Celestial Realm, The Heavens, The Light Beyond, this is the realm of higher beings commanded by the gods of the holy realms. They are the ‘good’ guys and have been fighting an ancient war against the Infernal realms and its own gods. The Angels and all their kind serve the Gods with slavish devotion. One commonality between the Angels and Demons is the arrogance of their kind. An Angel’s sense of honour and devotion are seen as beyond reproach and they will not consider any action that will violate it.
Specifically. Angels of any stripe will not do anything they feel is beneath them. If an Overlord charges your castle wall with an army of peasants at spear point, the Angels will not participate. The same as Angels see battle as honourable and will not participate if they would render a battle imbalanced in their favour. The only exception is when Demons take to the battlefield. When demons take to the field you would in fact find it difficult to restrain the Angels from joining the battle against the demons.

================================================== ===============================================

Infernal Realm.
The Infernal Realm is the dark mirror of the Celestial Ream. The apparently permanent subterranean cavern, flames, the frozen reaches and so on all stretch out to make the Infernal plains. Within them the dark gods scheme and plot amongst themselves and grant rewards to those who prove their devotion to them. Their eternal war with the heavens almost entirely compels their actions. As with angels demons are almost all universally arrogant and won’t do anything they consider beneath them. Though of unbelievable cruelty they have their foibles.
An example is how a demon will not attack something if victory is overwhelming. A Higher Demon for example would refuse to attack a half dozen peasants defending a village. It would be beneath him, a Higher Demon killing peasants would be sullying its reputation. Demonic Infantry also refuse to fight peasants other non-military targets. This honour and pride in their abilities is a strange match for the angelic, but, in inverse, if an Angel takes to the field, regardless of how many or its rank, a commander would find themselves stretched to prevent the demons from taking to the field against them. The only exception being if the Demons think that they would be overwhelmed. Demons are far less interested in martyrdom and self sacrifice than angels and if a battle looks to be beyond any hope of victory they will flee the field.
And additional warning. Demons are as difficult to control as any Angel, but Angels will eventually bow to authority, or give their leave and return from whence they came. An overlord (or anyone else) who loses control of their demons can expect immediate attack by them as the Demons fight to erase the offence of having to serve what they feel is a lesser beast. Daemonbreed are less likely to have their authority questioned, but a Daemonbreed Overlord or Overduchess has to get used to the fact that the Daemons will only ever refer to them by the term halfbreed.

================================================== ===============================================

Thieves Council.
The cities across the breath of Alaria, excepting the Black Kingdom, all have their criminal underclass, and they have, over the centuries, come together to form a pseudo-shadow government. Each city has its own thieves guild that runs crime in the city run by a man who runs under a title of his choosing. From the Upright Man in Lleywon’s capital of Seras Ven to the Sewer King of Bratei’s fort city of Excos. The leaders of each nations capital form the High Council of Thieves, and indeed, almost all information in the world passes across those networks. And more importantly is how hard they are to root out, and the fabulous costs for information or services. While lesser guilds may be found in the services of the Overlords from time to time, the Thieves Council protects its own secrets far more closely.

PEOPLE OF IMPORTANCE
There are those in the world whose presence is far and above beyond normal understanding. Beings whose name is known by all, and feared or loved by many.

Khaelesh.
There is no name in the world more feared than his. He is the Overlord who four thousand years ago rose from nothing with an army of the damned and waged war across the length and breadth of Alaria. He forged his kingdom in blood and sacrifice with a measure of guile. He is believed to have once been a human overlord but not are too sure what he is now for he has not been seen outside of the Black City in three millennia. Though his orders, and magic, are felt far beyond his palace walls.
Khaelesh is the first and only Overlord to date that no Guardians have been capable of suppressing or slaying and indeed, most have given up attempting to strike at the Overlord directly, his city protected by unnamable beasts and an army of the unliving said to be a million strong. Though his actions are no longer by mass but by guile most worry about his goals and predations.
More feared is the knowledge that he monitors and watches all the Overlords active in Alaria. And when their actions please him he is known to hand out material rewards to those Overlords. Though when he feels that they, and their actions, are beginning to pose a threat it is said he stomps those Overlords into the ground.

The Gods and the Magic of Good.

The world has its guardians. The Gods who stand against the evil that has been plaguing the land for millennia. Or more.

For good, or ill, the Gods cannot however directly interact with the world. Whether it is beyond their capabilities or the result of some ancient pact none can say, and none do, but this leaves the Gods, beings of power, unable to interfere directly in the affairs of mortals except through the Guardians of Good, mortals born with an innate connection to the gods.
Unfortunately, or so it would seem, this means that the very use of their spells requires the permission of the Gods before it will be used. However so long as that use of power does not harm an innocent or being of good persuasion there the gods will rarely refuse a Guardian the use of the powers granted to him (or her).

However, where an evil being will find that their powers wane and become difficult to use when they approach the threshold of exhaustion a being of Good can still call upon the Gods and be granted the ability to cast their abilities.

The gods however have a strict set of definitions that make an innocent or being of good. An innocent is anything that is not able to understand the morality, or such, of what they do. A boar, or snake or other animals are innocents, even the Unicorns so prized are innocents incapable of comprehending the morality of what they do and are. And a being of good is a being, be it human, elf, centaur or dwarf that is capable of understanding the nature of Morality and chooses to do good instead of give in to the ‘easy’ path.

But the Gods are not naive and foolish. They will not deny an agent of good the chance to strike down a creature of evil just because the creature has an blade to the throat of an innocent. No, they will grant the Guardian the use of their powers to slay the being of evil, but to protect the innocent from the power at the same time. For a Bolt of Divine Intervention, or Holy Fire for example are not true lightning and fire but raw manifestations of the gods power for good and those of good alignment or innocence cannot be harmed by such.



The Black Path and its Sorceries.

The powers of evil are known by most, if not all, as the black path. None can say from where the power of the black path stems. Only that it is known that its power is the will of its users. All followers of the Black Path serve themselves and none other. Though they are known to consort with the demons who, like the gods, cannot exist on our plane of existence the followers of the Black Path are not dependent upon such beings for power. And at no times can any being deny a follower of the black path the use of their abilities.

But the nature of the Black Path is one of greed and evil. This does not lend well to altruistic uses, and most powers that can be seen as good come at far too high a price, to heal a being takes ten times the amount of life force a follower of the Black Path might attempt to heal. Typically their own injuries or that of their valuable Lieutenants if they possess such a talent, which many if not most do not.

But, despite many centuries, even millennia, of study none can seem to discover the source of the Black Path’s power without first walking down that road. And even then they have to have had the nature and talent to do so before even beginning such an attempt. The compulsive power of the black path however is corrupting and a follower of the Black Path can never leave it without being slain. It is said that upon the moment of death they can beg the forgiveness of the gods and be redeemed.



Portal Gates and the Wild Energies.

Across the world there are points where the world has been rent asunder by the devices called Portal Gates. Devices of power connected to the Guardians and Overlords in a manner not even remotely understood. There are two classifications of Portal Gates.

The first is the Master Gates. These are controlled and ‘safe’ gates. These are the Gates that form the heart of Sanctuaries and Lairs. These Gates while smaller than the Wild Gates don’t generate the hellish conditions present around the Wild Gates. They size of the gate however controls the amount of traffic through them. But a Master Gate can easily fit ten men abreast through it at a time. Though the larger creatures, such as Treemen and Giants have to either bend down or crawl through depending on the Sactuary/Lair. Unlike a Wild Gate a Master gate can only store the Lair or Sanctuaries master’s pattern. Hence the name Master Gate.

The second is the Wild Gates. Powered by the unknown called Wild Magic control of these gates is not a permanent thing. People have tried to control the Wild Gates both with power and with simple military control. But all attempts to do so seem to trigger a hostile response from the very ground near the Wild Gates. Fortifications will be heaved into the air on spikes of stone, tents torn apart by tempests and generally anything close is obliterated. They Gates allow themselves to be used. But they do not allow themselves to be controlled by any power.

The Nature of the Gates and their Use
Gates are powerful artefacts, but it remains a fact that an Overlord or Guardian cannot use a gate they have not personally visited and ‘touched’ with their power. When Initialising a Portal Gate the gate stores the energy pattern of the Overlord or Guardian in question allowing the Gate to be used by that individual to travel to any other gate they have also initialised. The uniting factor, the individual in question must have been in contact, physically, with both gates while wielding power at some point.

Once a gate has been initialised it is initialised for that user permanently, almost every gate has thousands of stored patterns within itself and the number grows every time an Overlord or Guardian initialises one, when using a gate however the Overlord or Guardian is funnelling their power into the gate. As such the Overlord or Guardian must be the last through the gate. The only exception is the Master Gates of which are only ever keyed to a single master at a time.

When using a Portal Gate the colour of its energy changes to reflect the power and alignment of those travelling within. A large army of evil will be a bright incandescent red, a small army of good would be a pale but clearly defined blue. But the Wild Gates have an extra issue. They cannot be held, defended or destroyed. There is a 2 League ‘exclusion zone’ around the Wild Gates, if any life remains any longer than 12 hours within the zone the Wild Gates begin to evict them. Even the most powerful Overlords and Guardians cannot resist the threat of the Wild Gates magic.

Questing.

Both Overlords and Guardians don’t sit about idle. No, to grow in power and influence they must Quest. Whether Guardian or Overlord it is simple uneconomical to move an army when dealing with the ‘small fry’ at the same time the task is too important for the Overlord or Guardian to sit out, in fact you can almost guarantee that any task left to your people, whether they are your Lieutenants, Minions or Men they will not be capable of completing most tasks even in your name. Because when it comes down to it they just don’t have the talent for it.

There are several types of Questing. Those listed below are “minor” quest types. Their reward is simple and achievable without overmuch difficulty unless the nation’s military or a rival Overlord/Guardian seeks to openly resist it. These quests take little time in the scheme of things and don’t require any information to begin.

Resource Quests: These quests are for the acquisition of material resources, stone, wood, metal, food etc. While it is assumed that your territories provide enough ‘basics’ for you and your forces it is not without limitations. Any major expansion attempts (a Major Quest type) will first require these resourcing quests to be done! These quests are less martial, mostly, than many quests. When an Overlord or Guardian goes to acquire more resources with a resource quest there are two ways to go about it.
The first is to trade and make a deal for the resources, this can secure you a relatively long-term acquisition of the resources allowing you to use them for other things.
The second is typically only available to Overlords, but a Guardian can do so against any settlements of Evil nations that might have the resource. This is of course, taking it by force, easier and faster than negotiating it has one major downfall. It is a one-use only event that only provides a single “snatch-and-grab” missions worth.

Recruiting Quests: You and a select group of your minions/soldiers/Lieutenants go out into the world to visit villages, cities, towns etc on a mission to recruit people to your cause. This type of quest is very “story” oriented and a Guardian or Overlord must lay out their travel plans well in advance to conduct their recruiting in any useful time frame. The results of this type of quest are granted by the GM.
Patrolling Quest: The Overlord or Guardian selects a small War-Party and patrols their nearby borders for any threats to their lands. This type of quest is only really necessary if you find yourself being struck by bandits. While conducting regular patrol quests would keep your lands clean of interference by small GM-issued events it would keep your Overlord or Guardian from doing anything useful.

Aid Quest, Minor: An ally, friend, or other individual has come into some difficulties. It is up to you if you wish to accept and rectify this issue.
NOTE: Only Guardians can take this type of Quest.

Exploitation, Minor: An ally, friend or other individual you are familiar with has come into hard times, now is the perfect opportunity to go and exploit his moment of weakness for your own gain!
NOTE: Only Overlords can take this type of Quest.

Raise Support, Minor: The Overlord or Guardian goes out on a quest to raise the support of some individual or powerful entity. The type of quest to build up support can vary depending on the nationality and individual you are trying to impress. A kings quest will be considerably more difficult than a mine foremans.

Avenging Quest, Minor: Someone 'lower' has wronged you, depending on your perception, when this happens you can declare a quest of Vengeance upon them.

MAJOR QUESTS

Major Quests are another beast entirely. For one, the Major Quests listed here are just the "common" quests. They are not the special quests that will appear from time to time but quests initiated by the Overlord or Guardian of Good in order to expand upon what they have.

Below are all Major quests. And some may even be multi-part quests, or require a number of minor quests to be completed first!

Lair/Sanctuary Expansion Quest: This type of Quest is that required to "upgrade" your Lair or Sanctuary. This is not a simple or easy quest, and depending on what you wish to do it can take months to years of time to accomplish. (Turning, for example, a Castle into a Citadel would take at least a decade on its own!) These quests can require SIGNIFICANT amounts of resources depending on what you are after. EG:
If you wish to install a Library into your Castle it may take 1 Minor Resourcing Quest to build it, and a special quest to find someone to fill it!
However building a Lava Moat for a Citadel could take 5-6 Resourcing Quests, and a quest to find the spells necessary to create Lava to fill the moat!
NOTE: The most expensive Lairs/Sanctuaries cannot be upgraded to anything "larger" they're as big as they get already. But you can still buy the Upgrades etc.

Conquest/Expansion Quest: There comes a time in every Evil Overlords life where he just needs more, or in a Guardian's life where he feels those near him no longer serve the needs of the Just. In these times it is not unusual for either to declare a Conquest or expansion in order. In this time the Overlord or Guardian gathers their army and moves to take a set amount of land for their own. While Evil is more likely to engage on this type of quest it is not unknown for a Guardian to do so as well.
The Questing Party gathers an army to them from their forces, whether it is their whole force or just a portion it matters not.
This is a GM regulated Quest. You post in the OOC what you are going to do and I give you the results for you to IC.

Explore for Portal Gate: This mission is simple in declaration, but time consuming in execution. You simply declare that you are going to explore and search for a Portal Gate, if your character is anywhere near one I will, again, tell you what happened in the duration of the quest for you to IC. Including whether you could find one or not. (The Portal Gates are fixed and I know where they all are )

Special Quests: Anything not covered here is a special quest that may be issued to players from time to time depending on a significant number of factors!























Joining: Those players who have been invited have already got access to the rules and an understanding of how sheets will be made. The map will be constructed after players have posted their sheets.

About Time!

Name: Andrea Maleficarum
Age: Unknown, but she has been active in this world for at least 40 years.
Appearance:

History:
Andrea was the daughter of a human, a sorceress who apparently consorted with Daemons as the years passed and daemonic marks revealed themselves over the young child's body. Her mother taught her several things about magic, how to summon and bind imps and other various daemons to her will as well as the elemental magics. Soon enough her mother deemed her old enough... and cast her out, she was shocked to say the least and tried to understand why but her mother had opened a gateway and took Andrea to a corner of the world she had never been before, not as if she knew where the tower in the swamp was that was her mother's home anyway. She was told it was time she learned to stand on her own feet... and to forge her own fate and destiny, her mother had given her the tools and now she had to merely... use them.

Her mother disappeared in another gateway, leaving her daughter, thirteen years of age, she was shocked, frozen at the spot and then she raged. The following day she was gone and half the forest had turned to ash... the other half was still burning. She had slept barely and her dreams had haunted her, voices whispering, telling her how they could help her gain power... what she should do to get it. When she awoke the forest had been burning, she had cast fire magic in her sleep she believed, though she believed she had seen faint marks of a pentagram near the spot she had slept before she had to flee from the flames. But the dreams, if that is what they were, had given her purpose... she wanted to rule... and to rule... she needed subjects. She found a settlement and found herself a cave to make her home as she prepared... drawing a pentagram on the floor and made preparations for the summoning of daemons. A month later, at the head of a small force of imps and a dozen daemonic infantry she marched to the town, slaying it's pitiful militia with her daemons or magic and forced the humans to now accept her rule. She stayed there for a few years, basically molding the townspeople and forcing them to be her army with which to conquer more of the surrounding region. She soon learned she was basically in a swamp, how nice of her mother to drop her in somewhat familiar territory at least.

For several years she subjugated the region, human settlements either pillaged and burned to 'convinced' to now serve their new mistress, over duchess Andrea and her increasing army of humans and daemons. She had just finished building her demonic fortress as her base of operations when some of her daemons came before her, carrying a Duerger between them, claiming the creature had traveled to the surface to meet her... she did not care much for his rambling till he reached the part about some kind of underworld tower... and the rest of his people and the riches they had that could... no should... belong to her. A army was raised of humans and daemons and she traveled to the mountains, her new pet Duerger showing her the hidden tunnels that allowed her army to march to the underground holdings of his people. When they found them she was allowed a audience with their leaders... they refused her gracious offer of groveling before her feet and serve her... she returned with her human and daemonic army and after their leaders were flayed alive and borne on banners for the remaining resistance to see the other Duerger were quick to bend the knee.

Now ruling the mountains and the swam region around them... and found herself a Netherworld Tower... with a race called 'Minions' who welcomed her as their mistress with glee. For the next few years she focused her efforts and that of her subjects to spread and grow... welcoming Moredhel and Driders into her growing realm to be part of her entourage and army. She even struck a alliance of sorts with another sorceress who also seemed to be a 'overlord' together they spread their holdings and on occasion raided and pillaged or worked together to bring down a rival... but then came a time that this ally... started to act rather strange, Andrea knew her army had marched forth to deal with something and she returned to her lands without her army and she started making... queer decisions. Sensing a weakness, with her army gone, seemingly defeated and these rather strange edicts she was issuing that were revolting to Andrea she marshaled her own army and daemons... leaving her daughter at home in the care of her handmaidens and invaded her one-time ally. The war was over before it truly began, her former ally had fled and soon the forces still loyal to her fled too, some switched sides and the Cyclopes Andrea managed to convince to resettle in her lands and serve her now.

More years passed and Andrea let her lands grow fat, governing them to prepare for... well something she felt, whatever it was it would be revealed soon enough.

Traits:

Daemonbreed: It seems father loved to party in the mortal realm and impregnated a human which became host to the child that would become Andrea, this mortal turned out to be a sorceress named Sylvanna Vasas.
Great Wings: Laughing Andrea will fly above the mortals below and command her minions or send forth magic from her hands.
Compelling Scent: Do I smell wonderful?
Compelling Voice: Do I sound enchanting?

Fire Magic: What is one with Daemon Blood without some amount of fire?
Air Magic: Bring forth the thunder, the lightning and let it strike down those who oppose me.
Earth Magic: Encasing my opponents in stone, hurling rocks and boulders or erecting fortifications out of earth and rock, it is childs play.
Water Magic: Never again shall I have to suffer heat with this magic... oh and sending ice spikes is fun too.
Environmental Magic: A storm is coming... and her name is Andrea.
Gateway: Nothing beats a dramatic entry or escape through a magical portal.
Meteor:
Knock, Knock.
Who's there?
Meteor.
Meteor who?
*Big Boom*
Daemonic Incursion: Bring forth the Daemons and let Hell on Earth to begin beautiful carnage!
Summon Efreeti Imps: The weakest of demon minions at Andrea's disposal, no better than arrow fodder but they do their job well.
Summon Incubi & Succubi: Incubi and Succubi, to some nothing better than eye candy, but to Andrea they are also worthwhile spies and assassins... though she of course will admit they are very... pleasing to look at and when not on assignment are housed in her harem.
Summon Daemonic Infantry: The foot soldiers of the Hells and these obey Andrea after she has summoned them to the mortal realm, noticing that she had at least three distinct 'types' of Daemon foot soldiers.
Summon Higher Daemon: Even more powerful than other daemons Andrea can summon these Higher ones are indeed powerful... but their allegiance to her is questionable as best so she will keep them under a close watch...
*Arianne, doubtful that Arianne is her actual name but she claims to be Andrea's great grandmother and was the first Higher Daemon to answer her summons and be bound to her 'service'.
*Orical, the Fateweaver, the second Higher Daemon bound by Andrea, Orical or the Changer as it also seems to like to be called told her it knew her fate but refuses to enlighten Andrea about it, annoying her to no end and drawing dark pleasure from it no doubt.
*Bob, Prince of Blood, this one... is the most bloodthirsty Daemon she has ever encountered, literally going out of his way to cover himself in the blood of mortals he has slain... and yet he insists on being called Bob...
*Kalinarzoth, summoned in existence by mistake as Andrea actually tried to summon/enslave more demonic foot soldiers , after a lengthy battle of wills and summoning the aid of her two other Higher Daemons bound to her she managed to trap and ensure the service of this third Greater Daemon.
*Freddy, by the time she ensured the service of this fifth Higher Daemon Andrea was almost certain that they gave her these names to mock her but she let it slide.
*Silvarrain, her sixth and latest Higher Daemon she has summoned and bound to her service, she first almost dismissed this Daemon as it started as a mere snake but before her eyes it evolved, changed and became a giant, six armed woman/snake Daemon hybrid and she might have some use for that.

Telepathic Command: My Minions... My Children... will hear my voice in their minds and obey.
Master of Strategies: A plan is needed to strike, going in without a strategy is equal to simply offering a blade to the enemy and ask to gut you with it right there.
Master Tactician: Andrea has never been a front line warrior, no better to stay back and lead the battle from there, often flying above the battlefield to get a good view of how the battle is going.
Master of Attack: The best defense, is a good offense.
Drums of War: Large human leather bound drums carried into war by her Daemonic infantry will travel around her lands to be heard in every corner to summon the loyal to whatever battle Andrea requires them to be.
Duerger: Andrea found these skulking in a underground network of tunnels and caverns underneath a mountains which she was exploring to settle a permanent base. Seeing use in them she came before their leaders and asked them to join her in a polite manner, when they refused she came back at the head of a Daemon army, slaughtered the leadership and a bunch of other trouble makers and asked once again for their allegiance, this time they were far more cooperative.
Minions: When she reached the Netherworld Tower these... things... were already scurrying over the place and actually welcomed her with delightful cries that the Mistress had returned.
Moredhel: Drawn to Andrea by her daemons, her dedication... and the opportunity to rejoice in their sadistic tendencies the Moredhel came to her side to serve.
Cyclops: There was a rival overlord, one with whom Andrea actually had a alliance at first... but she started... showing signs of weakness and so this other was at her weakest. Andrea was victorious and the Cyclops who served this other would now serve her instead.
Driders: They scuttled in the deep, the darkness... Andrea illuminated them with daemon fire and now they serve.

Furs, Goblin Iron, Orc Steel: Daemons come with their own weapons and equipment, her Mortal followers require more... solid steel such as armor and weapons made of this particular steel, forged mostly by Duerger smiths and armorers.
Small, Normal, Big, Bigger Lands: Her lands have been carved in Daemon fire and mortal blood and she rules it without question.
Gold Mine: With gold comes power and filling the treasure vault is a nice bonus.
Gem Mine: As she secured her lands and made her Duerger minions dig deeper the found veins of gems in addition to the already found gold mines and Andrea could not contain her glee at this new source of wealth (Increase Lair Points by 20%).
Crystal Mine: Decent steel, gold and gems are all fine but Andrea would probably have traded it all in return for these rare crystals that were right under her feet, the power to be gained from them priceless (Increase Land Points by 20%).

Too Dumb to be Evil: If Andrea would have gotten a penny for every time she pulled this off then she would not need a gold and gem mine. She might appear dumb and stupid but that's an act, something her captains know is not true of course. Most of the population under her rule even believe that it is her captains who enforce the sacrifices and taxes so when once in a while in a 'moment of clarity' Andrea seems to punish one of her captains for such behavior the population and outside world will eat it up like cattle and leave her alone.

Infernal Ambitions: Why settle for mortal ambitions, her Daemonic side allows Andrea to even have ambitions beyond the mortal realm and perhaps even reach into the Hells.
Self-Sufficient: Minions are well and good... but if they can't be bothered to wipe their own arse without help from Andrea then they are nothing more than cattle for the sacrificial pits.
Doubtless Loyalty: Having loyal minions beats worrying if they are about to stick a dagger into Andrea's back, she has to worry about that with the Higher Daemons in her employ.
Spirited Leadership: She might not be knowledgeable of Martial arts or Physical talents but at least Andrea knows how to lead her minions reasonably.
Wave of Despair: Seriously how would you feel if you heard of a impending army of Daemons about to knock on your front door?
You Can't Kill the Messiah: How many times do I have to die to make a point here!?
Shield of Hate: Ambition... Hate... Power... these are forefront on her mind and nothing can penetrate these thoughts and will help keeps her people in line as well.
An Heir: Andrea's most heinous and evil act is one so vile, so disturbing, so sickening that it is almost forbidden to say it out loud or name it... but Andrea simply calls it 'daughter'.

Minor Characters:

Name: Melissandre
Age: 17

None, not even Andrea's closest advisers, know who Melissandre's father is. Andrea simply retreated to the Crimson Blight for a year, surrounded only by her Daemonic servants, allowing no mortal to enter it's walls. She stayed within for a year, communicating only through messages send by Imp messengers. Her 'loyal' subjects began to believe that Andrea had died and that they no longer should serve a dead mistress and were about to enter in open revolt when the gates of the Demonic Fortress opened and led by a vanguard of demons came Andrea, cradling a bundle in her arms and visiting each settlement and told it's population to rejoice... for she had a heir to take over in the... unlikely... event of her death but spoke no word of the father.

For years the young daughter grew up in Andrea's shadow, staying for the most part in the confines of her mother's lairs or within the ranks of soldiers escorting her and her mother as they went to collect taxes. She was yet too young to learn and master any of the spells, arcane and infernal knowledge her mother knew but now she was of a proper age and Andrea would start really grooming her into her perfect instrument.

Stats:
Physical- 2

Traits:

Daemonbreed, like her mother Melissandre shares Daemonic appearances and signs, just not as defined as her mother.
Great Wings, she too was born with wings, another trait she gained from her mother... or her unknown father...

Captains:
Minions:

Name: Gnarl
Age: "A hunnerd something, something... look I've seen many overlords before so either I have lied a long time or they were all short lived... your pick."

When Andrea first set foot on the Netherworld Tower in the Caves of Damnation she was immediately greeted by the presence of overgrown brown, red, green and blue rats. Right before she decided if she should blast them apart or not they were groveling at her feet, shouting things like 'the overlord!' 'Mistress!' and 'Hail Dark One!'. Only one among the welcome party appeared to not be as... simple-minded... as these others. He introduced himself as Gnarl a 'Brown Minion' as he claimed he was and that he was the oldest among these minions, who have always served the overlord who took this tower as his or her residence but since the last overlord went out and apparently never bothered to return they had waited in the crooks and caverns of this tower, waiting for a new master... or mistress... to serve.

Gnarl speaks often of his youth when he was apparently full of fire and rode sheep and wolves all day... the former because it was fun before bashing their heads in and the later because it was fun to ride one while it tore some peasant's throat out. Taking a liking to the rather... dark humored Minion she keeps him along as a adviser and listens to his counsel on certain subjects. When faced with the difficult choice of overtaxing the peasants of a village or testing a new spell he offered the helpful suggestion to first overtax the population and then try the new spell, Meteor, on the settlement. Two birds with one meteor.

Stats:
Physical- 2

Traits:
Scrounger: Gnarl just knows where to find the "next best thing" fairly consistently.
Scholar: Gnarl has been around for a very long time and apparently claims to have seen his fair share of overlords and mistresses in that time and he just seems to be filled with knowledge about this and that.

Name: Mortis
Age: "Age is nothing, death will come and he will reap."

Mortis was introduced to Andrea after she was fully settled in the tower and her new Minions and Duerger were busy restoring it to former glory. One Day Mortis was simply... there... a blue Minion who seems to have a rather... morbid... fascination with death and it's works and referred by the other, more mindless, minions as the minion reaper who will lay them to rest when their time has come to die in the name for their Mistress.

He is almost as old as Gnarl Andrea suspects and the two seem to share a lot of the past, mentioning passed overlords. What was strange with how several of her Daemons reacted to the presence of the small minion, treating the minion with more respect than they did her! Or at least more than they did when first meeting her after she had summoned them for the first time.

Stats:
Physical- 2
Magic- 1

Traits:
P- Weapons Proficiency 2 (Scythe)
M- Healer

Duerger:

Name: Murk
Age: 78

Murk was a warrior and commander of the Duerger forces when Andrea came with her Daemonic host to bring the Duerger to their knees and force them to serve her. Seeing the battle was lost and that to follow his leaders would only mean suicide Murk was among the first to order his warriors to attack loyalist Duerger and kneel before the advancing Daemon host and beg for mercy and offer their loyalty to Andrea. Murk did not kneel down however, facing the Daemonic host and even killing one who came too close to his hammer, simply stating Andrea had his loyalty if she wanted it. Amused by the boldness and either blind courage or stupidity of the Duerger she accepted and made Murk her first Duerger captain.

Stats:
Physical- 3

Traits:
Weapons Mastery, Bracketed (Warhammer) 1
Stubborn, Murk doesn't back down from anything instead wielding his hammer with unnatural courage. This means men with him will hold the line more readily. It also means his life-span is shorter than is common for his species.
Extremely Strong, Murk wielded a hammer not typically capable of being wielded, let alone lifted, by one of his stature and species.

Name: Rockgrim
Age: 46

A relative young Duerger but who got Andrea's attention during a set of competitive games the Duerger were holding for their young warriors to prove themselves, so impressed was Andrea by Rockgrim's skills and capabilities to endure the sometimes hours long competitive matches she declared him a captain of her mortal forces after he won the games.

Stats:
Physical- 2 (3)

Traits:
Weapons Master 1 (Hammer and Shield)
Quick Learner
Siegeworks Engineer

Name: Bullgrim
Age: 88

Bullgrim, also called the Gate Warden, like Murk Bullgrim was a warrior who initially fought against Andrea and her Daemons but unlike Murk he refused to surrender or change sides, fighting against Andrea's minions till word came that the Duerger leadership had fallen when he finally surrendered and offered his life and weapon to Andrea to either kill him or allow him to live and serve her. The fact he had survived two full hours against her Daemons, mainly due to the strategically placed siege equipment and choke holds, she accepted his service in her retinue.

Stats:
Physical- 3

Traits:
Half-Man, Half man, half dead. Bullgrim lay somewhere between the two though he speaks of it not and becomes evasive when pursued even by his mistress. He almost seems resistant to death itself and wounds that might fell a man into a sleep from which he would never recover Bullgrim takes with a grunt. Though capable of taking mortal wounds each wound, mortal or otherwise, seems to edge him closer to dead than man.
Weapons Mastery 1 (Great Axe)
Armour Proficiency 1

Name: Marduk
Age: 127

The whole reason Andrea heard about a abandoned lair in the Netherworld and about the Duerger living nearby was because of this single Duerger. Who came before Andrea's throne, dragged between two of her Daemons and showed no fear. He had been a granted a vision of the Dark Ones he claimed that she was meant to rule his people and reside in the Tower known as the Caves of Damnation among his people and swore loyalty to her and confessed that he would like nothing more than to learn some of her power to wield in her name. Andrea figured the Duerger was stark raving mad of course, coming willingly to her and all, but she was amused and the knowledge and secret pathways proved that he was telling the truth after some investigation so she kept him on and decided to see if he had the aptitude or not to wield some minor power.

Stats:
Physical- 3

Traits:
Weapons Mastery (Axe & Shield) 1
Golden-Eyes, Marduk cannot see as everyone else does. But he can into a persons soul. He can find deceit whereever it may lie. So long as he can see the deceiver.
Therianthrope, Marduk is a Therianthrope, capable of shifting into the form of a Razorwolf, a mutant breed of the highlands.

Moredhel:

Name: Yvonnel
Age: 23

The Moredhel who came to join Andrea had been daemon worshipers for several generations now and so when they heard that a overlord with a Daemon army was settling herself in a nearby region and a number of daemons at her beck and call the Moredhel packed their belongings and asked to join under her banner eagerly seeing Andrea, summoner of Daemons and of infernal blood herself, as the one who would lead them to further glory. Nine months after they joined a auspicious event took place among the Moredhel enclave, the elder matron of the Moredhel, died shortly after giving birth... to three baby girls.. triplets. She was able to name them and her wish, that they be given to Andrea for her to raise and groom them to be her handmaidens.

Yvonnel, her soul burns and she is eager to start a inferno at any moment... all she needs is the word from her mistress, Andrea. Like the fire that she craves she is a passionate soul, easy to anger and instead of being consumed by it she in fact uses it to fuel her rage, molding it into a weapon to instead deliver delightful pain and suffering to her enemies... and those of Andrea of course.

Stats:
Physical- 3 (4)

Traits:
Weapon Mastery 1 (Staff)
Cult Mistress: Yvonnel is a mistress of a cult of her own and brings 200 Fanatics into Andreas service for free.
Magic Weapon: Staff of Inferno: This staff projects a stream of flame on command. But can only do so three times a day.
Intimidatrix: Yvonnel is showing a particularly capable talent for frightening peasants into loyalty.

Name: Liriel
Age: 23

Liriel is a tempest, one moment she is like a calm breeze, relaxing to be around, a welcome change after spending a long time near a furnace... or her sister Yvonnel... But she can also be a storm, a hurricane of anger who wreaks havoc among those who have the misfortune to be her or Andrea's enemies and only at Andrea's command she will stop the storm.

Stats:
Physical- 4
Flaw- 1

Traits:
Weapon Mastery 2 (Staff)
Magic Weapon (Staff of Lightning) This staff is imbued with the power of lightning. When it strikes a target it unleashes a bolt into it on command.
Blink: She has a mutation that allows her a limited ability to teleport herself to something within her range of sight.

Flaw:
Blink: Nightmares are dangerous for Liriel, for sometimes her 'blink' ability tries to trigger when she dreams. She doesn't need to have a few to drink to wake up in strange places.

Name: Lilith
Age: 23

Those who hang around Lilith for too long at one time will start to feel a chill over their spine, her normally cold and emotionless eyes only showing some hint of emotion when she performs her duties for her mistress who is at that time in need of her services. She seems wear a cold aura around her that makes it difficult for others to approach her and in fact keep them at a distance, which she does not mind at all. The only ones who do not seem to shrike back from her are her sisters and their mistress Andrea.

Stats:

M: Something in the Dark

Driders:

Name: Sereana
Age: 584

There were two elder Matriarchs leading the Driders when they came scuttling in the dark tunnels leading to Andrea's Netherworld Tower, finding their way easily among the maze of tunnels, underground passages and horrors that lurked in the dark. Sereana is one of these two and abased herself for her throne when she was led to the Daemonbreed over duchess. They had witnessed her efforts of expanding her borders and saw how she binds demons and other proud races such as the Duerger and the Moredhel to her banner and they were impressed and wished to be part of her grand design.

In the years of their arrival Andrea has come to... appreciate... these two exceptional Drider Matriarchs, Sereana seems to have much in common with herself, a certain taste for... inflicting torture... they both share and on occasion have worked together on a victim, testing the limits of how far they can push him or her and see who will be the one that loses the game by killing the tortured subject much too soon...

Stats:
Physical- 2

Traits:
Weapon Proficiency 2 (Longsword)

Name: Quenthel
Age: 626

The older and perhaps more shrewd of the two Drider Matriarchs who came to Andrea's service, Quenthel seems more quiet than Sereana but where Sereana speaks out loud, she whispers and murmurs to make herself heard in the ears of those she wish to know her mind on things. It is not uncommon since their arrival to Andrea's service that Andrea will sit upon her throne with the one of the two Drider Matriarchs or both at her side as she thinks on her next move, plan, plot or scheme. Quenthel has been absent from Andrea's court recently after laying and spawning a new nest of young of her people... and watched these young devour the weak to grow stronger, so that only the strong would survive as was custom among her people.

She acts as Andrea's herald most of the time, traveling to those villages and spread word of her coming and prepare the newest batch of recruits to be drafted in Andrea's forces, prodding them with their halberd till she is satisfied they are a decent bunch that will please Andrea when she sees them ready to join her ranks.

Stats:
Physical- 4

Traits:
Ambush Queen: In Forests, Mountains and Swamps Quenthel is an expert ambusher using the crags, cracks and trees to lay in ambush.
Weapon Proficiency 2 Halberd)
Tactician

Cyclopes:

Name: Kurgon
Age: 78

Now he serves Andrea but before her Kurgon and his fellow Cyclopes served a other mistress, a overlord by the name of Syl but she had started to act... strange, showing weaknesses were before there were none and Andrea took advantage and invaded with her army and daemons and swept over her rival's lands with ease who fled, leaving her surviving troops behind. Kurgan did not want to surrender but when Andrea offered him and his people the choice, surrender and serve Andrea as their new mistress... or watch as Daemons butchered their women and children in a orgy of bloodshed. The choice was easy to make and Kurgon made himself and the other Cyclopes bow in submission.

Humans:

Name: Visaer
Age: 26

Briefly after Andrea had assumed dominance of the lands that accepts her rule there was a decade of fear as she and her troops came in the middle of the night and took young children from their parents, killing those who resisted the abduction of their children without remorse. Deep within the laboratories of her lair Andrea experimented upon these children, trying to make a new form of soldier loyal to her, combining infernal magic and alchemy. The project seemed a failure as most died after suffering horrible mutations, other died after months or years... only one test subject survived it completely but it was a fluke, for every attempt Andrea tried to breed another such success failed and she had to be satisfied with only one such warrior which she named a captain of her human forces. While different it was still mostly human, most of the changes sadly only cosmetic in origin.

Stats:
Physical- 2

Traits:
Touched by the Infernal, As a result of Andrea's experimentations Visaer has a set of daemonically grafted armour and clothing, as such she doesn't need or use armour, and though she conceals it from her mistress, heals faster than she should. However her Ambition is strong and she remains resentful of her Mistress.
Instinctive Survivor, Visaer is not the greatest warrior or tactician, but she IS a skilled survivor.

Name: Cain
Age: 25

Cain was one of two sons to a noble family who once ruled the city of Eskazar, his father had quietly stepped down after facing the prospect of facing Andrea's magic, Daemons, Duerger and those humans already loyal to the dark mistress. But in the years after that as the harshness of her rule became clear his father began to quietly form a resistance against her rule, calling to those nobles and families still loyal to his name, with Cain's brother becoming the new figurehead after whose banner the city would rally. Their dreams of becoming independent once more were shattered when during one rare meeting where all major of the insurgent movement were present the Dark Mistress's human guards and Duerger warriors stormed in and attacked the gathering savagely. Cain's brother and father were kept alive, till the moment they were dragged out in the open for their public execution... performed by Cain who after executing his kin became one of Andrea's captains.

Drunkard, Cain likes to... well... drink the stress of work away. Even while "at work".

Name: Marianne
Age: 28

There is not much use for a cavalry in the swamp regions of Andrea's domain yet she insists on maintaining a number of cavalry at all times and her captain Marianne is one of those few who seem to excel at riding and leading other cavalry in a thundering charge to break enemy lines and battle in the name of her mistress Andrea.

Stats:

Horsemanship 2:
Black Widow, Marianne has found that sometimes, seducing someone is a lot easier than attacking them head-on. When tired out from a little friendly exertion the stupid ones fall asleep, from time to time Marianne has ensured that they don't wake up.

Name: Black Warden
Age: Unknown

The Black Warden is one of the original humans who served Andrea seemingly from the start and whose face is never seen outside Andrea's presence, his armor and always riding a black steed are his ever present trademarks to recognize him. It is also rumored that he serves as one of Andrea's cavalry captains... and patrols the borders of her lands with his assigned cavalry... and when not at the border it is he who rides into settlements whose people have failed to serve their mistress properly.

Stats:
Physical- 5

Traits:
Weapon Mastery (Flail) 1
Not Entirely Human, The Black Warden never makes it known. But he is Daemonbreed and conceals his unholy nature beneath his armour at all times. Indeed, though he has not made mention of it, he harbours ambitions to become Andrea's consort.

[Selvi]

Name: Syl Turncoat

For several generations the ancestors of Syl have been 'loyal' subjects of the imperial throne of Bratei, paying the levies and taxes it demanded while beneath the surface her family hid a deep corruption they only indulged in private. Serving the dark powers, the Black Path and have no other agenda than to fulfill their needs and wants, some of her ancestors had been consumed by greed, others by power of mortal and arcane, some even coveted both. Syl was just the latest to assume the mantle of a overlord after her parents had died and after the brief power struggle with her remaining family to be the sole heir. She had experimented with sorcereous powers since she was a child under her mother's tutelage and her actions actually attracted the attention of another, a fellow overlord, or 'over duchess' as this one preferred to be called, Andrea Maleficarum, with whom Syl struck a alliance of sorts. Andrea's raids in Bratei and Syl's actions to make a impression on the imperial throne that she was actually increasing security against these raids, even rumored to have banished a daemon in this raider's employ, gave her the means to escape suspicion from the imperial inquisitors and in secret with Andrea ensure a increase of wealth from the information Syl gave her of unprotected settlements and worthwhile trade caravans.

Then one day during a raid where she had donned a appearance that was quite opposite to her regular appearance as a 'loyal' imperial subject and leading a host of her men, her minions, she was attacked by unknown troops, led by a female elf. Her own troops were massacred or surrendered and she herself was caught before she could escape and brought before the elf, who introduced herself as Namira Vellorum III. She was about to execute Syl, claiming to have known about her true identity and her actions for quite some time and that she was judged and now about to be executed... when something stayed Namira's hand. Syl did not even know but yet somehow this elf did, Syl was with child and while killing Syl was only what justice demanded, the unborn child was innocent and so she spared the overlord, giving her a speech about what kind of life she wanted for this child and if the life she currently led, as a scheming cutthroat and evil doer was the kind of life she wanted to have a child to raise.

She returned to her lands, without her army and filled with sudden images and thoughts that would not have come to her before the elf defeated and spared her life. It had affected her however and she brought forth a series of changes, that would lead her away from her current life and the legacy of her ancestors. However a old 'friend' had noticed these sudden chances as well... and had discovered that the majority of Syl's forces had been defeated somehow and somewhere, Andrea invaded. Forcing the now former overlord to flee her ancestral castle and leaving those loyal to her still to die against the armed forces and conjured daemons of Andrea. A pack of Daemons were send after her to kill Syl, she couldn't flee to the safety of the imperial throne, somehow the inquisition of Bratei had discovered her family's dealings, she fled south, to the kingdom of Alvias, where she had been before, often on raids but still she knew the lands there better than that of any of the other nations.

She came upon a familiar face there, who helped her on her feet and with whom she build a lasting friendship, one of the first friendships she would make in these lands. Her days of a overlord were truly over, now she had a new goal, to forge a alliance of several races inhabiting the lands she had ruined in her previous life and made them prosper once more. It took several years but in the end she was successful and despite her protests the majority of the leaders and friends of the various races that became her allies she was asked to lead them still and become their people's guardian. She did and protected her new people and subjects as best she could, while raising her daughter. She even met Namira Vellorum III again and showed she had truly changed her ways.

Captain Characters:
Glamredhel:

Name: Sanaë
History:
She has been a ranger for a little over a century and has watched the borders of two villagers when she and her small band of rangers were ambushed, a human screaming and hurling lightning, leading a pack of Gnolls attacked her and took her captive. She was brought to a camp at the edge of the lands where her people lived and there the human revealed himself to be a overlord, who had come this far east to see what he could plunder and tried to make her talk about the whereabouts of her village and people. She resisted and was tortured for a week... she had been on the verge of breaking when the sounds of combat reached her in her cell and the screaming of the dying.

Next thing she knew she had was escorted out of her cell and led before a woman, sitting upon the throne the overlord had often sit in when she was being tortured in front of him. She claimed to be a rival of the overlord who took her captive, he still lived and had escaped and Sanaë was asked if she knew the possible location of his lair... in return for giving this information she would be allowed to live. She remembered something about him coming from the west and a waterfall that was possessedly a marker that led to his lair... it proved to be sufficient and she was allowed to go.

She had honestly not expected to be allowed to leave that day, expecting the woman to simply kill her after she had given the information but she had been wrong. Then a decade or so later the same woman came into her village, frightened and scared, there had been stories about this woman, frightening ones but now here she was and told a story of Daemons following in her wake. Sanaë's people did not believe but then she stepped forward and told her people the story once again of how this woman had let her go and that perhaps she was speaking the truth. So they abandoned the village and Sanaë stayed behind to witness how a horde of Daemons came over her village and simply burned it down in their rage of finding nobody to kill. Retreating back to her people's hideout she told of what happened and in the end, after the woman told her she had changed and wanted to make the world a better place for her past sins... and for her child's future, for she claimed to be with child. Sanaë truly believed her and gladly told her that she and her people would stand by her side.

Name: Leo'Nar
History:
A ranger like Sanaë Leo'Nar is more cautious of the two and when the woman came to their village, the woman with a dark past, and told them of Daemons he was among the first to shout that she was simply trying to trick them in some sort of ruse and that that they would be fools to believe these stories of Daemons about to kill them. But Sanaë had vouched for the woman and that swayed the elders to leave. Afterwards it turned out that they were right to leave as their village had been utterly destroyed in rage by Daemons, he had apologized to the woman for his distrust.

During the rebuilding of the village he had noticed how Sanaë and the woman spend more time together and one day listened in on their conversation, the human claimed she was a different person now, that she no longer wanted to kill and rule with a iron fist, that she wanted to help people and create a better future. Sanaë had then and there vowed that she would help her create this future. Leo'Nar had witnessed the powers of this human, using magic to help raise their village back to former glory and he believed she could make a difference like she had claimed. Stepping out from his hiding place the two females were wary at first but when he too said he'd help they relaxed and with that the first step had taken place to unify some of the divided lands of the east. It was Leo'Nar who offered the suggestion to search allies among the other tribes and races that inhabited the lands.

Naga:

Name: Ish Tii
Histroy:
Ish Tii was the leader of the Naga of the marshlands of Uir when the relative peace and quiet of her people were disturbed by increased Lizardmen raids that attacked and killed her people. Desperate she pleaded to the gods for aid, she was surprised when they seemingly answered and so quickly. She had just uttered her prayers when another attack came from the Lizardmen and before their defenders were overwhelmed the Lizardmen were suddenly attacked, quarrels stroking them from hidden positions and then suddenly a series of explosions, a human female, wrathed in elemental fire froze enemies in ice, encased Lizardmen in stone, hurled lightning or send forth fireballs. The Lizardmen fled from this attack and Ish Tii's people were saved.

It turned that this woman was a sorceress of some kind and that together with the Glamredhel who lived nearby wanted to unite the lands and it's people, or at least the good aligned races to usher in a new era of peace in the lands and keep their peoples safe.

Human:

Name: Gregor
History:
After the Glamredhel and Nage were united a band of humans had come and were being trailed by Glamredhel rangers, who brought word that the humans were a ragged bunch and that something had been discovered. They wore the same armor as the humans had worn when their new leader was still a overlord and in fact they had a banner bearing her iconography. Escorted by Glamredhel ranger she was brought to them and recognized the leader of this weary band of warriors. Gregor had been a captain of her personal guard when she was a overlord and when she had fled, he had remained loyal to her and fought on with other loyalists but ultimately they had been defeated. Upon seeing their mistress the soldiers had cried out and abased themselves before her but she was quick to ask them to rise, telling them she had changed.

Gregor had been... distrustful at first to say the least but his family had been loyal to hers for generations and while her manner and methods had changed, as had her goals that did not mean his loyalty had changed as well and he once again swore to defend her and fight for her. With his addition to their growing alliance of people came a series of dirty tactics and ambushes that were not necessarily noble but what mattered was that the enemy died before killing any of their own people, in time Gregor seemed to have completely adjusted to the new personality of his mistress, a title which he still insists on calling her despite her protests, but his dark core still remains and he is often uncomfortable around the more... pious.

Name: Narra
History:
Drawn to a town of humans, whose people were rumored to be miners and had access to rare crystals that supposedly increased magical powers drew Syl's attention and she traveled to the place, alone, despite the protests of her people. She wandered aimlessly till she reached the outskirts of the town and was halted by a armed patrol of humans. After she had told them what she wanted she was brought before the town leader, who was apparently also the leader of the local militia. Pleading her case, offering aid against the hostile races and tribes lurking in the lands in return for some of these crystal she had heard about. the leader, Narra, was silent but then spoke. She knew off Syl, or at least her reputation... as a overlord.

She refused the offer, at least at first. If she truly wanted to prove worthy of Narra's allegiance and that of her people she was to prove she was truly on the side of light and was brought to a prison, where a man awaited them. He was chained, gagged and several guards with crossbows were aimed at the man. According to Narra this man had once been a roaming hedge knight who acted as a guardian to those in need before he had been captured and corrupted by evil. If Syl could exorcise the knight and restored him to his former self Narra would believe she was indeed a force of good. Syl had no idea what to do and out of desperation, called out to the gods, the very ones she had scoffed at when she was a overlord, for aid and then as if there was someone whispering to her a means to exorcise and cleanse those who have been taken over by evil came to her and she performed the spell and was rewarded, the knight had his senses returned.

Impressed Narra had expected to order her people to shoot down the former overlord but instead she really did prove she was a guardian now and was not out to somehow steal the crystal mines Narra's people guarded. She, and her town, joined her to help bring peace to the land.

This also makes her more perceptive should her new Mistress begin to relapse into her old ways.

Name: Deneith
History:
Deneith was the hedge knight who had been taken prisoner by a overlord and whose mind had been taken over to pervert his ideals and instead of a guardian of the weak he had become a terror to them, until Narra had taken him prisoner and he was restored to his former self be Syl. Thankful for the return to his senses he pledged his sword and person to her cause, gladly joining her in this vision she spun of building a better future. After being told she had been a overlord he was wary at first of her intentions but then he too had done some terrible things when his mind was not his own and he believed people could truly change and so far Syl had not strayed from the righteous path since he joined her.

Name: Nadi
History:
After the marshes, the swamps and forests were unified and brought under a banner of peace the attention of Syl and her allies turned to the east, to the desert tribes that dwelled there. She led a expedition to see if there were people there that like her and her allies wanted to band together to work in harmony with each other. They found a exhausted and wounded human woman near a oasis, after Syl healed her and she told her that her name was Nadi and that she had been part of a nomadic desert tribe but her people had been attacked by Gnolls. They had believed her dead, wounded as she was and she had been forced to watch as her people were enslaved by the Gnolls and led into the deep desert where their lair was supposed to be.

Upon hearing that, Syl gave Nadi her oath that she and her allies would do what they could to free Nadi's people. For which the young desert warrior woman showed her thanks by accepting her offer to fight beside her to help liberate her people.

History:
As the allied groups ventured deeper into the desert, searching for the lair of the Gnolls they came upon a band of feline humanoids, Khajitt, who were wary, especially at the mention if they knew about the whereabouts of the Gnolls. One of the Khajitt stepped forward, her name Rakhasa. She was the leader of a small tribe and she, and the warriors with her, too were looking for the Gnolls. It seems the Gnolls had attacked Khajitt tribes as well and taken their people as slaves in addition to Nadi's human tribe. United in common purpose the Khajitt joined Syl's greater numbers.

When scouts found a trail to the stronghold, a heavily fortified fortress, it was Rakshasa who suggested that she and her fellow Khajitt sneaked under the cover of night and scaled the walls, opening the gates for Syl and her army to ride inside and take the Gnolls by surprise before they even knew what was happening. She succeeded and as the gates opened both Khajitt and Human slaves were freed and the Khajitt tribes joined their new guardian.

Rikku is Rakshasa's bond mate and was among those captured by the Gnolls, during his captivity the Gnolls pitted various beasts they had captured and set loose in a arena in which they forced a select few slave gladiators to fight them. Rikku was among these and one of the very few who managed to survive. Fighting with teeth and claw and the thought of his bond mate he seemed to ignore whatever injuries he received, the thought of seeing Rakshasa again all that mattered. Then one night he and the other slave gladiators, housed separately from the other slaves, were woken barked shouts of alarm from the Gnolls and war cries.

Taking his chance Rikku managed to wrap his arms around the neck of a startled Gnoll warden and neutralize him, using the warden's sword to bash the lock off their door imprisoning him and the others and fought themselves to freedom, joining a rather colorful group of races that were fighting the Gnolls, his gaze turning to his bond mate who seemed to fight along side them. After the Gnolls were defeated and his bond mate explained the presence of humans, Naga and Glamredhel he too accepted with the proposal if the Khajitt wanted to join this Syl and her growing alliance.

While Syl formed a alliance of humans, Glamredhel, Naga and Khajitt there was another alliance forming in the deeper desert between the Eledhel and Anoredhel. They too were attacked from all sides and sought to fight a common foe together, a wizard who summoned a army of undead to serve him and take dominion of the lands of the Eledhel and Anoredhel. They fought but it was a losing battle, every friend and loved one they lost was brought back by the wizard as undead soldier. Anorrâ was the appointed leader, a general among her people to lead the united Anoredhel & Eledhel army. Rumors had reached her about another wizard, this one supposedly a force of good with a alliance of different races who fought side by side. She send messengers to this wizard, a plea for aid.

It was at a outpost Anorrâ and a small army of her Eledhel had come to liberate that the tide changed. She and her army had walked right into a ambush, the garrison at the outpost already murdered and risen once more as undead, the desert sand was covered in the dead and dying but Anorrâ refused to back down and kept fighting and all of a sudden whole scores of undead were destroyed before her eyes by magic. The guardian had decided to answer the plea for aid and they come to the aid of the Eledhel and Anoredhel, on behalf of her race and her allies Anorrâ accepted to become part of the greater alliance and become a captain and general for the guardian.

She was a artist, a painter and charcoal sketcher, but that was before a army of the dead marched on her home and she was forced to flee and take up arms to defend what was left of her family. Tears streaming down her face as she held the torch that ignited the pyre that held the body of her son. A parent should never bury their child but war changes everything. She burned most of her paintins, at least those that she for some reason had taken with her in the frantic escape from their besieged town and became a Eledhel warrior maiden.

She fought with almost religious zeal against the undead and remove their unnatural blight from existence and end the threat they posed to her people. Afterwards all she knew was fighting it seems and continued to do so under the new banner of the guardian her people had now owed allegiance to. But she has slowly picked up her artistic skills once more, to remember who she once was, before there was only fighting.

Anoredhel:

Name: Haji Silver Strider
History:
The Anoredhel practices their equestrian talents aplenty and traded with the Enedhel but had not much other contact with other races or settlements beyond that. The only line of defense against potential attackers, mostly desert raiders, had always been their excellent cavalry, mostly camels. The Silver Strider was their legend, tales of him singlehandedly defeating whole raider tribes with just him, his steed and a toothpick for a weapon. Such are just tall tales of course, he has led several dozen of his people in every engagement of course and he did so by inspiring them to great deeds and instill them with a duty to defend their homes.

When the undead came he rallied his people at once and eagerly accept a military alliance with the Eledhel, facing undead cavalry with a vengeance, seeing their proud steed corrupted and disturbed of their final rest after caring for them was a crime beyond reason to them and Siler Strider vowed not to stop his crusade against the undead till the wizard responsible for it lay dead. With the help of Syl and her allies they succeeded and he petitioned to join her with his people, she gladly accepted the aid of the masters of horse and camel.

The camels were mounted by a nomadic and very isolationist Anoredhel tribe, led by Gindaél who had convinced her tribe to break off their isolationist way and join their brothers and sisters. For a time with these reinforcements they endured but that changed and once again the undead were advancing.

Gindaél was in the thick of the fighting when the guardian arrived with her army following behind her and saluted her before resuming to destroy the undead and afterwards she seemed to have a taste for fighting in a army and giving commands and obeying them and wanted to remain a warrior and leader of warriors, joining Syl when her people too joined the alliance.

Guardian Information:

Tristan Daemon Bane
Age: 38
History:
The Order of Helm, was based in a small temple, located in a remote corner of the world, Helm is the patron god of Protectors and Guardians of the weak but the beliefs of it's priests and it's few paladins were apparently not shared by many outside their temple and the small holdings that were under their protection. The lands beyind their own were ruled and fought over by petty lordlings who seemed bend on games of power and wealth and would not hesitate to wage war with fellow nobles to claim their lands, often raiding and burning small settlements inhabited by people whose only fault was that at that moment they were living upon the soil of the raiding lord's enemy. Several times the paladins of Helm have marched to war but all for naught, settlements were still razed to the ground and for every citizen they saved two were killed, not to mention that upon their return their numbers were diminished by paladins fallen in battle. The Order of Helm was on it's last legs and they were on the brink of extinction when providence stepped in. Chroniclers of the order have written down in the Order's history how a angel, a Seraphim, appeared in the courtyard before the temple and gifted a newborn child upon the grand master of Helm's paladins. The child appeared human, save for it's eyes, a golden glow coming from them, indicating it had divine blood, the blood of angels.

The next fifteen years the child was raised by the priests and paladins of Helm and trained in arms and armor by it's masters at arms. Already the blessing of a child with divine, angel blood has shown a increase of influence for the Order, their holdings prospered and even from outside their holdings people flocked to their lands to populate it and live in peace, knowing that a child of celestial blood was being trained to become a protector of men. For years he had sered as a squire and now, along with nineteen other such squires it was time to earn his spurs and become a full paladin of the Order of Helm. Opportunity for this presented itself when a orc warlord seemed bend on showing his strength by starting a invasion to plunder and raid in human lands. Forty paladins and twenty squires rode out to meet the orc threat, the order's aged grand master at it's head and joined up with a motley collection of soldiers of nobles who for a brief moment of clarity forgot their feuds and banded together against a common threat.

The orcs outnumbered the humans two to one, knowing this the grand master proposed the following idea, his paladins and the squires would charge in wedge formation, trying to gain enough momentum through the orc horde to reach it's leader and kill him. Decapitating the serpent and the rest of the body would follow he reasoned. As the lines of men and orc met in furious melee the paladins of Helm and their squires charged the flank of the orc horde, obscured from view behind some brush of a nearby wood. The orcs were caught by surprise, their first ranks trampled or impaled upon lances, the rest in the path of the paladins and squires fought with swords drawn from scabbards in the same motions as lances were thrown away. With every second their charge could falter and they would fail and that they would not allow so as paladins were pulled from their horse none stopped to help, their duty to protect the innocent that would surely perish if the horde won this day. A third managed to reach the orc warlord, who met the grand master in combat, riding a ferocious warg to meet the grand master riding his destrier. Exhausted from the fight the destrier let out a shrill whinny and was brought down by the more aggressive warg but it had no time to enjoy it's feast as the grand master manages to kill it despite being trapped under the bulk of his dying horse. The warlord laughed despite the loss of it's mount, able to jump clear from his dying warg he had approached the trapped grand master and was about to deliver a killing blow when Tristan smashed into him, he had seen the danger the grand master was in and had made haste to cross the battlefield, his horse had died and he had been fighting on foot ever since. The warlord was not so easily brought down however and easily blocked the strikes of the squire with either his weapon or his shield, seeing that he could not muster the strength on his own Tristan began to pray for Helm, to grant him and his sword the power to smite this orc warlord and keep the innocent safe... and he was rewarded, a burden was lifted from his tired mind and he felt... energy coming from within him and guided within his weapon and the next time his blade impacted upon the shield of the orc his laughed faded as Tristan's sword cut right through the shield into the warlord, impaling his heart. With the death of their leader the remaining horde began to falter and as the first began to run in fear, the rest followed till only humans remained, in the aftermath it was Tristan and the other surviving squires were knighted and became true and recognized paladins of Helm.

Years passed and Tristan gained other feats to his name and his connection to the gods and their blessings grew too, till the night that Tristan suddenly had a dream, a vision, of a land whose people were oppressed and enslaved by a figure in crimson armor and flanked by fearsome demons. He woke up drenched in sweat and came morning he discussed this vision with the grand master and senior priest at the temple. It was determined the vision was granted to Tristan by Helm and that he was to travel to this land and cleanse it of the evil that has enslaved the innocent and are in need of a guardian and protector. The temple had grown over the years and was no longer the only temple of Helm in that part of the world and word was send out, calling any and all available paladins who wished to travel with Tristan. Retreating to the altar of Helm and praying before it, asking for guidance and direction to this land Tristan ignored the world around him and only opened his eyes, the glow he had since birth brighter than ever before and strode out of the temple after the fifth day and was greeted by a host of four hundred paladins of Helm, willing to ride out with him as well as two hundred others who, while not paladins, served the order in their own way, like the Ogier Janus.

Ships were provided and a course was set to where Tristan felt he was being guided to by his vision, months they were on sea, their journey was without trouble and the sea was calm, a strange occurrence to the sailors who had sailed these waters before and on the seventh day of the fifth month they had the shores in sight of the lands that were shown in Tristan's vision. A lookout screamed he saw a settlement and it seemed Helm had given their first obstacle, a town that was under attack by a collection of various evil races. Beaching the ships paladins, eager to stand on solid ground once more rushed in orderly ranks and marched toward the town. The battle was fierce but the paladins and their number had been unexpected and the attackers had to withdraw, leaving many of their wounded and dead behind. The townsfolk, a mingling of humans and various elf races who told them that the ones that had just attacked them were servants of the one who claimed to be the ruler of these lands, a figure in crimson armor. It told Tristan enough, they were indeed at the lands shown to him in a vision and he told the townsfolk as such that he was guided here by the gods and cleanse these lands of evil and become it's guardian. They did not put much faith in the young paladin at the time but when the following morning a army appeared, led by a champion of the overlord and once again Tristan and his forces took the field, routing the enemy once more and the champion defeated in combat by a paladin of Helm. Then the townsfolk truly believed that a force had come, strong enough to oppose the overlord and word was send to other towns and villages, spreading the word of the force of paladins.

The next weeks and months were with the host of paladins forming guerrilla series of attacks upon the patrols and raiding parties of the overlord, their fame spreading among the settlements that had been under the iron fist of the overlord for decades and now once again felt the first stirrings of hope since a long time. Recruits found their way to Tristan and his paladins and he was forced to divide his forces, small units to keep on the attack and other units to train their new recruits for battle. A year and a half passed and the overlord had seemingly elevated Tristan and his paladins to be a real threat instead of treating them at first as mere 'bandits' his forces moved now in properly military fashion and convoys were guarded zealously by his soldiers. Their many successes were mirrored also by failures, groups of paladins, some of them friends he had known for years, died in skirmishes but now the time had come, people who had been flocking to these foreigners who had come to cleanse these lands were trained and ready for more. The time for small skirmishes, ambushes and border battles was over, a army now moved in the open and fought against the forces of the overlord openly.

Whole settlements and a city even were liberated by this army and the enemy forces were pushed back further and further till the day came that they approached a great black tower in the desert and Tristan and the army following in his wake came upon the last remains of the overlord's army, led by the crimson armored man himself, the sky blackened and lightning crackled in the heavens as the two armies clashed, when the first liters of blood were spilled on the sands from both sides the earth trembled... and a portal was opened... and daemons streamed forth. The chaos that evolved was... hundreds died in the first minute when the portal was opened, paladins trying to hold the line were picked off and simply butchered by dozens of Daemon blades. Over it all the insane laughter of the overlord who had caused the demonic rift was heard by all and Tristan saw his vision of these lands liberated about to slip from his grasp... and cried out for the gods to send aid... he was answered. Clouds parted and sunlight streamed through, blinding the enemy mortal troops and stopping the Daemons in their tracks who looked up and let out a collective scream of rage, as if they knew who... and what... were coming. Angels descended from the heavens and answered the call of the paladin, emboldened by these reinforcements and inspired the troops to keep on fighting and Tristan finally faced the overlord in personal combat, fighting with sword and magic granted by the gods, against infernal magic and a whip of fire. Fate was with Tristan and in the end it was he who stood victorious on the corpse of the overlord sorcerer, with him dead the Daemons were no longer bound to him and they left, leaving the mortal troops of the overlord who faltered and fled, angels in pursuit.

Now with the lands liberated a new challenge presented itself, the people were unanimous they wanted the one who had led the paladins to their shores to not only be their guardian but their ruler as well and gladly accepted his rule. Together with the few paladins that were left a temple of helm was build and the task of rebuilding the lands to former glory and shake off the corruption left by the overlord was beginning. The land has prospered since then under the protection of Tristan and a combined army of the races that inhabit the three provinces that make up the region under his guidance. After a year of rebuilding and fairly certain his holds were secure for the moment Tristan left the affairs in charge of some of his trusted captain and took sail, he had heard the rumors and tales of another hero, a guardian like he had become who also fought against the forces evil and had decided to seek her out. He met her in her lands, a elf guardian by the name of Namira Vellorum III. Satisfied that she truly was a force of good and even been a longer guardian than he was in the fight against oppression he and her came to a certain agreement to help one another out in times of need.

Weapons Master 2, Taught from childhood to handle and bear arms Tristan has become quite proficient in the use of a bastard sword one-handed and a shield in the other or when a more aggressive style of fighting is required he can drop the shield and use his bastard sword two-handed.
Grace of the Panther, All Tristan and his fellow brothers and sisters of the Paladin order had was their martial life and customs, toning their bodies to be warriors for a cause greater than themselves.
Endurance of the Wolf, Fighting takes a toll, so Tristan made sure his endurance can keep up.
Armour Expert, Can't be seen as a paladin wearing the customary heave plate armour, ever since his ascension to be the rule of the lands currently following his leadership it has even been padded with some mithril chain here and there for extra protection.
High Metabolism, A gift of the blood, or a curse if Tristan wants to get drunk quickly.
Voice of Honesty, Paladins will make people listen to their speeches... it's just a matter of how you bring it.
Celestine, Angelborn, destined to be pure of heart from birth it was said of him and so far he is proving to make it all true, might also explain the fondness angels seem to have for him and that he may appear truly blessed by the divine to the people.

SMITE EVIL!, Can't be a paladin without some smithing to be had.
Tunnel of Travel, *blink*
Holy Aura, An aura that manifested in Tristan at a early age, exposing a wine merchant supplying the temple he trained at as he winced every time the boy was near and was later proven to water down the wine he sold to the paladins of the order.
Guidance of the Gods Chosen, "I will be a beacon among evil and from me a spark will come to ignite and banish the greater darkness!"
Break, "Let them be caught out in the open, in the rays of the sun so that I may judge them."
Summon Cherubim, The angel man servant version.
Summon Angels, Winged warriors.
Summon Archangels, Feathered Arrow shooters.
Summon Seraphim, Now we're getting somewhere.
Banish Undead, What is more useful a big hammer to bash undead apart, or utter some arcane words and smite them down that way, often more than one at a time?
Bestow Penance, I will judge you as I see fit evildoer!
Healing Hands, To heal the infirm and wounded so they can go on with their lives in peace.

Tactical Retreat, Staying and fighting to the last man might be a poetic end... but a meaningless one if it still means that the enemy will kill those you have sworn to protects once you are dead.
Wise Tactician, Watch, learn and observe what you can about your enemies, fighting a known enemy is not bad, fighting one you know nothing about is the worst possible scenario you can find yourself in.
Each has a Place, the importance of a order of battle and formations... is that there is such a thing in the first place.
Dwarves
Eledhel
Anoredhel
Glamredhel
Paladin
Ogier
Niomus

Mithril (5)
Great Lands (5)
On the Payroll, Any who serve Tristan can be sure to be rewarded well for their service.
Master Craftsmen, Dwarven made means something in these lands.
Investment in the Future, After the overlord's demise a vast treasure trove of gold and other valuables had been found, one order of Tristan it was to be invested in rebuilding the lands, something which earned him much respect and loyalty from the population.
Gold Mine
Crystal Mine

Beacon of Hope, born of celestial blood and a guardian of the weak and innocent does have the effect of Tristan to be considered such a beacon.
Call to Arms, when Tristan calls for aid, people will know it is truly needed to take up arms and come to his aid.
Scholar, in addition to being schooled to be a warrior the priests of Helm also insisted on a worldly education for the followers of their god.
Overseas Hero, even before he became a guardian of the lands he traveled abroad to help those in need, he still does and that has done wonders to his reputation out there.
Getting Your Own Hands Dirty, when you can't do it yourself, don't even both of asking someone else to do it for you.

Incorruptible, what can't be tempted by evil, can not be corrupted.
A Father To His Men, those who serve with him, especially those who like him take up arms against the forces of evil are his family and he treats them as such.
Hero Worship, his actions has made Tristan quite loved among the troops who look up to him and perhaps even follow him to the gates of hell of he so asked... though he hopes never to ask that much of them.
Self-Sufficient, while Tristan rules the lands he much prefers if people show initiative and are able to perform tasks on their own when required.
Celestial Service, what greater service is there, than to serve the gods at their side and become one of those worthy to be truly divine protectors of the free peoples.

Captains:

Melissa the Bold, warrior Paladin and guardian of the innocent. Coming from the same order as Tristan, Melissa has fought side by side with him before and was proving to be a able commander after he assigned her several hundred men to lead in battle.
Physical 2, Magic 1
P- Weapon Mastery 1 (Longsword)
P- Voice of Command
M- Inspiring Presence: Mellissa can magically bolster the courage and morale of the men nearest her to near fanatical lengths. But doing it for extended periods of time can tire her out.

Daniël the Shield of Faith, during the battle in which Tristan earned the name and title Daemon Bane so too did his brother paladin Daniël earn his name and title of being the Shield of Faith. Witnesses claiming that the young paladin was able to survive wave after wave of Daemons and other forces of evil with a shield manifested from his faith in the gods, and of course his Greatsword..
Physical 4, "Special Destiny"
Horsemaster 2
Weapons Master 1 (Greatsword)
Armour Proficiency 1
Special Destiny: "Princess in need of Rescue" Daniel has a destiny to rescue a princess of an old kingdom. He knows not which one but should he find this princess in need of rescuing, and save her, they will marry and he will become Heir to the Kingdom.

Morghrim Mithril Fist, lost one of his hands in defending his clanhold when Skaven attacked it, it was replaced with a fist made out of pure Mithril. He can't really move the hand/fist but it serves as shield to parry and catch incoming attacks and when prepared he can swing it around and have his Mithril fist can punch through almost anything... or at least give his opponent something to think about.
Physical 3, Flaw 1
P- Weapon Mastery 2 (Battleaxe)
P- Armour Proficiency 1
F- Slow: Mithril may be light, but a hand/fist of it is still quite heavy. And this slows him down in a fight.

Snorri Warsmith, to Dwarves a hammer can be used to create as well as Destroy... Snorri Warsmith takes that to heart as he claims that his warhammers have created untold carnage among Grobi, Urk and Rats and that the prospect of fighting even more ferocious creatures of evil in the army of Tristan only makes him wish for more.
Physical 4, Flaw 1
P- Weapon Mastery 1 (Battlehammer)
P- Dual Weapon Wielding
P- Acrobatics 1
P- Armour Proficiency 1
F- Crazed: Snorri has a little habit of, when going into battle, that red haze descends and he goes into a bezerker rage. Friend of Foe try and be scarce when he hits the battle lines.

Lady Arwaien, convincing the Eledhel to join his cause granted Tristan the services of their ruling lord and lady, Arwaien seems to be the more warrior inclined of the Eledhel leadership, her bladework, almost but not quite, equal to that of Tristan himself.
Physical 2, Magic 1
M- Bonded; This husband and wife pair shares a unique magical bond. In times of stress and trouble each can lend the other strength, morale and spiritual support, though should one ever perish the other will likely take their own life in a deep grief few can imagine.
P- Weapon Proficiency 2 (Longsword)

Lord Celbarn, his wife was always the warrior while Celbarn seemed to have been the tactician, the general to the Eledhel war parties to defend their people against the raiders that harassed their lands before Tristan and his paladins came.
Physical 2, Magic 1
M- Bonded; This husband and wife pair shares a unique magical bond. In times of stress and trouble each can lend the other strength, morale and spiritual support, though should one ever perish the other will likely take their own life in a deep grief few can imagine.
P-Tactician
P-Weapon Proficiency 1 (Longbow)

Gorrean, a knight of the Anoredhel, always at the head of the cavalry charge in the thick of the melee to fight alongside his fellow Anoredhel and lead by example.
Physical 2, Magic 1
P - Horsemaster 2
M - The One Ring: Though he doesn't possess any innate magical ability he does have a magical ring that protects him from ranged weapons and even magic to a degree. Of course, there are a lot more than one of these rings. But this one is precious to him and has been in his family for three generations, it was given to him by his Uncle Bilbo Obilib some years ago.


Ariniel, knight and captain of the Anoredhel she seems to prefer to flank the enemy with her cavalry detachment and make use of her people's expertise with horses to put the mounts to their limit to attack and harass enemy arches, destroy siege engines and generally attack enemies from behind or were they least expect it.
Physical 3
P- Horse Mastery 2
P- Dual Wielding 1

Forest Shade, the Forest Shade has been the protector of the Glamredhel for centuries according to their local folklore and when they joined Tristan a figure naming himself as such had dropped down in front of the paladin as he rode through the forest and offered his services as a captain and his expertise in archery and woodcraft.
Physical 4, Flaw 1
P- Weapon Proficiency 2 (Longbow)
P- Dual Wielding 1
P- Forest Craft: He knows the forests in and out and has a 90% chance of detecting any ambush ahead of time.
F- Ugly: Forest Shade is an ugly bastard and rarely is without his helmet and mask. His looks have ensured that whether he wishes it or not he has managed to keep a vow of chastity he's never made.

Jort the Silent, Known for the words "Why speak when a dozen arrows can do the job better than any appeal to surrender?" A somewhat brutal Glamredhel who protects his own at any cost and prefers to eliminate a threat completely instead of allowing them to surrender and disarm... only to see them rearm themselves within a generation once more.
Physical 3, Flaw 2
P- Weapon Proficiency 1 (Bow)
P- Long-Shot - Jort is skilled at making Long shots beyond what people expect of most bows.
P- Sneaky: Jort is good at blending in.
F- Braggart; Jort has a habit of souring his reputation even amongst his allies, while he is a capable commander, many don't enjoy serving under him. And soldiers long under his command soon find the bravery to request less suicidal posts.
F- A dime a dozen; Jort's famous saying has more than just a little truth to it. If he was more capable and patient he would be "Why speak when a single arrow can do the job better than any appeal to surrender." Unfortunately, his tendency to rush usually means he does need those dozen.

Janus, he was raised by humans and in fact was caretaker of squires who were out to become paladins, among them Tristan who rose far greater than any could anticipate. Having a fondness for the lad who seemed quite honest in his convictions to rid the world of evil and protect the weak and act as a guardian against all evil Janus followed him and helped build and create great works and buildings for the people that came flocking to Tristan's realm.
Physical 5
P- Weapon Proficiency 2 (Axe)
P- Siegeworks Engineer
P- Resilient 2

Nannae, hearing rumors of one of their kind working with a human, carving a new home in a area that was infested by evil Nannae led her tribe of Ogier to see if these tales and rumors were true. They indeed were and seeing the worth of Tristan she and her tribe settled the lands and her leadership over the Ogier she brought with her made Tristan trust her in a captain's position among his inner circle.
Physical 1, Magic 2
P- Regenerative: Nannae heals unusually quickly for one of her race, and can even regenerate lost limbs.
M- Tunnel of Travel: Nannae is familiar with the ways and how to traverse them.
M- Healer: Nannae can heal almost any wound should she get to it soon enough.

Erannor and Eranna, Niomus twins, leaders among their people and seemingly have a inseparable link that increases their efficiency to work together and in concert with each other, anticipating each other automatically and making things go fluidly, soaring above the lands or around the mountain peaks of Tristan's lands when he has no need of them or their people.
Erannor, Physical 2
P- Weapon Mastery (Crossbow) 1
P- Eagle Eye

Eranna, Physical 3
P- Weapons Mastery (Short Sword and Shield) 1
P- Sensitive nose: Eranna has a "nose for trouble" and is either finding it, or responsible for it.
P- Thread the needle: Eranna shows off from time to time by proving her skill flying through things no Niomus would ever dare normally.

[Malaki]

"A son can bear with equanimity the loss of his father, but the loss of his inheritance may drive him to despair."
— Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince.

Name: Mortis Drovani, the Eternal.

Age: Precise date is unknown. It is estimated at around 36 years.

Gender: Male.

Appearance:


Biography: Malevolent and spiteful, lecherous and abusive, greedy and psychopathic. All apt terms to use when describing Mortis Drovani's personality. He was born this way, even, with a dangerous ambition in his youth that sent several of his family members scrambling to figure out what was wrong. One by one as Mortis grew older, his family members mysteriously disappeared. It is sometimes rumoured that Mortis still talks to them late at night, when he believes nobody is listening. Only his captains and personal, eternal bodyguard might know however and none of them say a word.

At this point in time, Mortis is the last surviving member of the Drovani family, and it seems that if he has any children he doesn't acknowledge their existence. Some even once whispered that he murdered them, but then, when foolish people say a lot of things about Mortis, they disappear too.

This isn't to say that there isn't a healthy relationship between Mortis and the several establishments he takes care of, no, no definitely not. In fact he typically sells all the stone taken from the incredible mining industry to the various cities and farms of his lands, providing a warmer, safer place for his people to eat, sleep, work, and live. Though it does come at an odd price. While they get cheap goods from the mines almost at an outright expense to Mortis, they in exchange must put the corpses of their dead in a caravan known as “Death's Brigade.” Death's Brigade visits every city once per week and is escorted by Reaver Cavalry, bringing new bodies back to the fortress.

Simply put: Mortis asks for strange things, and in exchange for those things and turning a blind eye, his people get cheaper goods which make their lives easier.

The mines were there before Mortis was born, he merely expanded upon them. Dramatically. Even putting behind his father's second castle to focus purely on building up the mining industry, as the mines had practically endless resources from which to draw upon. In exchange it brought in a large number of immigrants, mostly Moredhel, who found themselves accepted openly by Mortis.

Now that the mines have been sufficiently expanded in his mind, he plans to sell some of the resources, while using the rest to rapidly advance the construction schedule for the ice castle his father begun years ago. Now he had the power to pursue his goals, the ones his father preached before he was the last of Mortis' family to “mysteriously vanish.” With the Reaver Cavalry, his father's previous alliances with the Nightmares, and now his own alliance with the Moredhel, Mortis felt now was the best of times to begin looking outside his lands for... Prospects to advance his global schemes.

Personal Stats

Physical: 2. (2)

Great Wings: It was always hinted that I was never fully human, and it was one of the few rumours that I never bothered to crush—after all, it's true, isn't it?
Compelling Voice: “I command in the name of my father! I created this paradise in which my people live out of a harsh, frozen hell! FOLLOW ME TO PARADISE!”

Magic: 15. (17)

Fire Magic: Complete domination of fire is necessary for my plans... After all, fire is destructive, and quite dazzling. Plus I just get certain feelings of joy when I see fire working its magic upon the world, weaving it all into one beautiful canvas of ash and heat.
Water Magic: A necessary evil for my evils... Although, it does make construction and expansion easier when I can melt and move ice and snow in vast quantities.
Earth Magic: For situations in which fire and water just won't quite do my imagination justice. Besides that, a canvas is boring without some flavour, no?
Air Magic: Makes for faster travel when I fly. Also makes for some... Interesting combinations with the other three.
Environmental Magic: The natural conclusion to learning any element is how to make the colours mesh together for an ultimate thrill.
Meteor: Even the stars will learn to obey me... Starting with these simple hunks of rock.
Mental Lash: I should at least try to illuminate others.
Mental Domination: Sometimes, it's more important to illuminate just one person. Sometimes I use this just for fun... Though the week-long time line until I can use it again sometimes makes me hesitate.
Raise Corpse: Death is just the next stage of things—unfortunate for these ones, they weren't worth much in life, either.
Raise Skeleton: ...At least the lives of these men were somewhat... Better, than those of mere corpses.
Raise Wight: Good men who deserved to ascend to a higher level of being.
Raise Undead Horseman: Some of the best men I have, who truly deserved eternal life.
Raise Vampire: Just in case my present retainer should annoy me too much, I can make another one.
Unholy Magic: The power to become a small God.
Gateway: Integral to many of my plans... Soon, all will see my brilliance.

Command: 4. (21)

Ghouls: Rather wonderful creatures... They do for me what no mortals can do.
Moredhel: Ah, my new allies! They're perfect! They have a great appreciation for many arts in which I practice! Why, we're practically cousins!
Nightmares: My father's allies decided to remain my allies as well. They seem to see the wisdom in my plans which many do not.
Telepathic Command: One of the only ways to communicate effectively with Nightmares anyway. Besides, it was only natural, with my adoration for magic.

Wealth: 15. (36)

Furs: It all starts here, though we ironically don't have all that many furs to collect.
Goblin Iron: Crude, but efficient. Perfect to sell to the farmers whom sometimes have to deal with rather deadly creatures.
Orc Steel: A good midway for all of my soldiers. The Ghouls especially tend to wear this—their enhanced strength makes the added weight negligible!
Meteoric Iron: Reserved for some of the best soldiers in my command.
Adamantium: This stuff is rare, even for me to find... Yet, I find a sufficient amount to arm myself and my captains.
Small Lands: What are you, mad?
Normal Lands: Far too small for my tastes.
Big Lands: Small.
Bigger Lands: Still small.
Great Lands: About time!
Looting Experts: ...Lets just say my father used to organized... “Borrowing” parties.
Pillaging Experts: Sometimes it results in a few extra corpses! Though a little flame broiled, that's just how the Ghouls love it.
Gold Mine: Makes making money easy, considering I can literally make it.
Gem Mine: Every crown needs a few gems, after all... Though I use it for more practical means.
Crystal Mine: Such rare crystals... They hold so much power... I must unlock their potential!

Influence: 2. (38)

Information Broker: It's good to know what my neighbours are up to...
Spymaster: ...Especially the things they don't want anyone to know about.

Dedication: 7. (45)

One Vision, One Purpose: All of my forces serve me to fulfil my plans! Though sometimes they're a little slow to change, change is rarely necessary, and thus this problem rarely comes up.
Stare of Fate: It doesn't take long for an irritant to flee.
Shield of Hate: I. Hate. People. Who. Do. What. I. Do.
You can't kill the (Dark) Messiah: IT IS MY DESTINY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS! JUST WATCH ME!
Scorched Earth: It spreads my philosophy.
Anti-Life Coalition: I dislike the living in general, actually... Except for the Moredhel. They appeal to me.
Self-Sufficient: If I can't do it, how can I expect someone else to do it? Fah. Out of my way, weaklings!

History:

The first of the current known guardians, Namira comes from a long line of royalty. Her kingdom, Velldin, has existed for some time and held many kings and queens throughout its history. For some time, no Guardian existed within the realm, finding its problems easy enough to deal with. Any true issue, a hero would arise for a time and deal with the issue. However, in Namira’s youth, there came a dark time. An undead plague began to ravage the lands and inspire fear in the populace.

In that time, Namira rose, seeing the plight of her kingdom and began her rise as a Guardian. At first, beginning by driving off small bands. Seeing a need for more help, she began to rally the people and ally with, at the time, small kingdom’s neighbors. Together, the force managed to destroy much of the scourge of the land and drive off the rest.

As her kingdom returned to peace, her mother, Queen Namira Vellorum II, negotiating treaties with the allies the younger Namira brought, she soon grew restless and started to notice the growing powers of evil around her. Drawn towards a quest for the greater good, she began to travel abroad, to other lands and across the seas; and rumors of her success as a Guardian of Good rose. Alas, her time as a worldly traveler would finally come to an end.

News reached her of her mother’s passing. Velldin was without a ruler. A new threat was on the horizon against the kingdom in its weakened state, and so the young Namira was called back by duty. Upon her return, her land was in alarm. The nobility was in argument over the successor in absence of Namira the III. In no way ready to deal with the political aspects of her kingdom, she set about the defending the lands. Along her way, people joined her in her mission. Upon the defeat of the enemy, many of the people were up in arms, supporting her and demanding her rightful throne be returned to her.

The nobles argued, having finally narrowed down the candidates to one, but eventually many of the court bowed their heads. At first uncertain about this path, Namira remained fairly absent in many matters until great fissures in opinions began to occur. As the Velldin’s council began to lead it down one path, she began to grow increasingly wary of those she trusted the nation with. Finally, stepping up into the position of power she was bestowed, she began to take matters into her own hands and bringing in her own personal counsel whom she could trust. This, however, soon led to a civil war between the noble class and the house of Vellorum.

The feud was short-lived, the Namira and her support of the majority leading her to victory easy enough… However, it was a dark time none the less. The woman decided to further go into uniting her lands and bringing upon improvement to the well-being of all in her kingdom. The kingdom grew, became stronger and eventually the unity of all was established, but it was a long and trying time, nonetheless.

Peace once again restored and the kingdom bigger and stronger than ever, she set unto her own conquests once more. Staying within the confines of her new lands, she went about adventuring and taking on great tasks for the better of her people. She travelled with a few close, dear friends. One, an elven werewolf, she eventually betrothed and bore an heir with. Since the birth of her daughter, she has settled down within her kingdom, a few exceptions here and there, such as the assistance with a woman who sought to turn over a new leaf.

Age: 18
Appearance: Reference
Equipment: 1x hunting dagger, 1x shortsword, 1x handaxe, 2x balanced knives, light armour

History:

Ultimately, the daughter of the queen has lived a sheltered life. Of course, with so much protective doting, it was bound to occur that the daughter of the Guardian would prove rebellious in her adolescent and young adult years. In the last few years, she has taken it upon herself to traverse the lands apart from her mother in order to take on a more active role in the country… or was it to live out a life her mother cannot control?

Tarynn Waldon, also known as the Siege Master, this young man was recruited for his knowledge of defending and destroying barriers. Roughly the same age as Namira"s daughter, the two not only grew up together, but bonded as friends. Raine often teases him by calling him her “older brother.”

Physical 3
Weapon Mastery 1 (Longsword)
Siege Master 1
Supply Line Raider 1

Dominic Skells, a seasoned warrior of one of the darker religions within the kingdom. However, his ability with the greathammer and knowledge of religions overall has earned him a place in Namira"s council. His approach to things does give the guardian hesitance every now and then, though.

Physical 2, Magic 1
P : Weapon Mastery 1 (Warhammer)
P : Armour Expert
M : Banish Undead (Limited. Requires direct contact.)

Nekiida Enwoods, the young leader of the druids, is considered a savant amongst the nature worshipers. Often the least involved of all the human captains in the affairs of war, people often look upon her as unfitting of her station. However, the battles she has attended have left many rumors of her fierceness.

Physical 3
Weapon Mastery 2 (Staff)
Acrobat

Featherfell The Enforcer, commander of the main army, is seen not only for her frivolous spending but for her efficiency in command. The younger of the troops wonder at the choice to bring her into a seat of power, but the elder fighters who won battles alongside her quickly put a silence to their ranting with a quick strike to the head.

Physical 3, Flaw 1
Weapon Mastery 1 (Longsword)
Tactician 1
Strategist 1
F - Beautiful: While beauty is rarely seen as a flaw, it is in this case, many males can't take her as seriously as they would a male commander in the same position, each order is a struggle for Featherfell not knowing whether they'll listen and do as ordered. Or nod, say what the things she wants to hear and go and do it their own "better" way when she's not looking.

Wresley Beor, an armsmaster amongst his people rides out most often at the head of the battle. While many may regard Namira as the strongest being in the kingdom, there are some who will dispute it at the sight of Wresley"s might.

Physical 3
Weapons Mastery 2 (Short Blades)
Dual Wielding

Clove, the Master of Defense, is perhaps the most well-armored in the entire army. In the many years of his service, he has never left the homefront. Yet, he has seen many battles all the same, defending the people within the borders. Some rumors have cropped up, though, that he is afraid to leave the borders. Some go so far as to say every time he has attempted to cross the borders, he spooks himself and trots back and forth as if a wall is there.

Physical 3
Weapon Mastery 2 (Sword and Shield)
Armour Expert

Aeron Mayer, brother to Daelah Mayer, he is often regarded as the Equine Master. His abilities to calm and train horses seem unrivaled as he breaks the most stubborn of stallions. There is some confusion as to how he manages to train these beasts for riders when he cannot ride horseback himself, but no one dares ask.

Physical 2
Horsemaster
Weapon Mastery 1 (Spear)

Daelah Mayer, The Landskeeper and sister to Aeron Mayer, she is highly respected for her knowledge of the lands. Typically, she is off roaming the kingdom and every so often, coming back to report the goings-on of all corners of the realm.

Physical 3
Weapon Mastery 2 (Horse Bow)
Scouting (Plains)

Quiver, Queen of the Dryads and a master markswoman, she is one of the most closely regarded people in Namira"s court. The woman is not only her senior but far more experienced despite Namira"s time in leadership. Often, she lends her help to the Guardian. The only price for her service is that she keep her title and hold the last say in all matters over the dryad people.

Physical 3, Flaw 1
Weapon Mastery 2 (Longbow)
Stealthy
F: Morning Wood: Quiver is not as alert in the morning as some, stiff as a board, sleeping like a log. Come mornings she is lethargic until about two hours before noon.

Holly, Princess of the Dryads, first daughter of Quiver, she appears to have taken a different route when it comes to her people and life. Unlike Quiver, she holds no knowledge of the arts of war or the governing of her people. Instead, her focus appears to be stuck firmly upon the healing arts and coexistence with nature. The way she finds the weak, particularly men, and seems to revive them back to their former health and then some has earned her the name of The Mistress of the Woods.

Physical 1, Magic 1
P - Herb Use 1
M - Minor Healing

Khane The Howling, mate of Erin S"Vantz while a jolly enough fellow normally has the habit of going completely insane in the heat of battle. There are rumors that in his beastly form, he has the taste for flesh and blood. Of course, most dismiss it at the fact that Namira has him in the highest regards.

Physical 3 - Flaw 1
Unnaturally Fast: Khane can move faster than any other Werewolf and knows it.
Resistant to Magic: Khane is unusually resistant to magic.
Weapon Mastery 1: Short Sword
F - Overconfident. Khane knows he"s good. He knows he's fast. And unfortunately, he"s let it go all the way to the top. He"ll decide he can do something even when he cannot, and this can, and will, lead him into traps

Jordin A. Keep The Might of Vellorum, is a fierce knight, a noble elf, and the husband of Namira Vellorum. He is the closest of any captain to the Guardian and has greater say in all matters. This has been earned rightly as he has been at her side since her early years as a guardian.

Physical 3
Weapon Mastery 1 (Sabre)
Armour Expert
Scholar

Erin S"Vantz, the Beastmaster, mate of Khane, takes personal care in training all of the "monsters" Namira seems to take in. She personally sees to each and every one and quite affectionately, referring to them as "her babies."

Physical 4, Flaw 2
Beast Trainer 2
Monster Trainer 1
Weapon Mastery 1 (Longbow)
F - Attached. When the time comes to use a beast Erin has trained in battle the time hurts her. She doesn't like it and fears the loss of her babies. And should they be lost, she can be catatonic for up to a week from grief.
F - Something Fishy. When one spends all their day training beasts and monsters one doesn't smell too great. Erin has this problem. All. The. Time.

Whitherwhisper, an artful assassin and master thief… Sadly, little more can be said about this woman.

Physical 2
Weapon Mastery 1 (Longbow)
Stealthy

Widowpaw, a savage warrior of the Khajiit people, her original name has long been lost. Her current one, however, has been granted due to the fact that each of her 7 husbands has quickly died after their wedding… The cause, unknown.

Physical 3, Flaw 1
Weapon Mastery 2 (Sabre)
Underworld-sense: Widowpaw is familiar with the criminal underclass. Intimately.
F - "Owned" Widowpaw owes some powerful people some very large, and nasty debts. Should they come calling her life may be curtailed.

Hunter, the Gamesmaster, he is considered the go-to man when a legendary beast is in need of slaying… At least, that was if any of his tales held any truth to them. He does seem to know how to track with the best of them, however.

Physical 2
Weapon Mastery 2 (Longbow)

Silvertongue, the head of diplomatic affairs and a self-proclaimed ladies" man, he has on more than one occasion gotten into trouble due to wooing a young maiden. However, his name is not without reason as he always seems capable of talking his way out of a situation… or away from an axe… pitchfork… other weapons of mutilation…

Physical 3
Diplomat 2
Weapon Mastery 1 (Dagger)

Hecate, the Battleram, he is perhaps the most bloodthirsty warrior in Namira"s employ. He lives, breathes and, according to many of his less-than-lucky bedmates, dreams of battle.

Physical 4
Brutish Appearance: Hecate scares people, while normally this is a trait undesirable for a Guardians people, it does make for an effective military commander.

Overlord Asmodai

Full name: Asmodai Pitr Yss Kilaag
Nation: Embiht
History: Long, long ago in a far, far away land ruled overlord with steel fist and fiery whip. As any good overlord he was feared by his people. The dwarves competed to craft his troops the most magnificent or armours (as it would save their childeren from being fed to the monsters.) The humans worked day and night to do his bidding; they were the most hilarious race to enslave (they looked just like the overlord.) When the overlord needed some time off, there were the daughters of the Eledhel, Anrodhel and even the illustrious Glamredhel to please him in any way they could. At least, the ones that wanted to keep their heads. All went well for our dear overlord until a paladin by the name of Tristan set foot on his property.

Then things went downhill rather... Fast. His people broke free, an army rallied against his... Angels wiped out his treasured daemon forces and he himself, was unfortunately slain in battle, thus ending the story of our dearest overlord.

At least,that is what the general populace believes. His body was never found, assumed to be pulled into the abyss and torn limb for limb, Tristan and his forces gave no pursuit. They were quite right in their assumptions as well. Our overlord was tortured for years; his body beyond healing, his soul beyond saving. However, something did not sit quite right with his torturers. After all, they had been not been victorious, nor been truly defeated by their arch-nemesis when the overlord well... Fell. Without his contract to bind them to the mortal realm; they had been unable to finish their war. While mutilating body and soul was a pleasant stress-reliever, it never quite quelled the demons their thirst for angelic blood.

And so, they returned our dearest overlord to the land of the living. They rebuilt his body, because demons can do that you know, but rebuilding his tortured mind was... Difficult. Keeping him in a manic, screaming state wasn't an option either. Instead, most of our overlord's memories were erased. His story would have to begin anew...

It did. Our overlord ventured the no man's lands of Embiht. He lived like an animal, hunting for his food with his own body. He marked and claimed his territory and for years, our overlord was known as the devil crawler. At least locally, throughout the swamplands he hunted in. However, everything changed one night when he attacked a lizardman village. It was one particular young man he hunted, whose cries made a strange impression. It was as if the lizardman was telling him he did not want to die. Not that it did the lizardman himself any good, but having retreated to his nest our overlord began to grow restless. For the first time since his release from hell he began to think; to wonder. How could he understand the emotions of his prey? And what were these 'emotions' for that matter?

Our overlord became curious. He studied what once was his prey and began to remember the concept of language. His mind was blown; the lizardmen had a manner of understanding one another. The more he stalked them from the meadows, the more he remembered about the concept of language. What was even stranger was that the favourite of his preys; the skaven, had mastered it as well.

Learning to speak again was not easy for our dearest overlord. His speech sounded broken and his pronounciation was riddled with clicking and hissing. However, during his time of learning to utter comprehensible sentences other, long forgotten traits began to return. A thirst for power, was one of them. The fundamentals of magic and summoning, another...

Once the news that our overlord had once again obtained the potential to tap into the immortal realm arrived in said place, the demons rejoiced. Although at first, but mere imps were able to pass the portal, relying on their lesser cousins the higher daemons passed information to their contracted master. Locations, names, parts of our overlord's memory came together. He remembered a deep hatred. A burning passion to destroy a certain someone... Although to this day our overlord does not remember who...

Nonetheless, he once again began to move. Our overlord united the lizardmen tribes, struck deals with the skaven and recruited unlikely allies to his cause. Wealth and glory, they were promised. A better deal did not exist for the barbarian tribes tribes of the swamps. United, organised and trained to fight as an army, our overlord began to mobilise... Now all the swamp and surrounding forests belong to him... His influence spread. As if invisible his power has risen and his demons returned to the realm to finish their battle. The plan to rid the world of it's angels had been set into motion...

Traits:

1. Weapon mastery
2. Weapon mastery
3. Weapon mastery: Four arms, thunderous strength and various master-classes of weapons training give Asmodai frightening ability with about anything he picks up.
4. Thunderous Strength: Cracking open armour like shredding paper? Punching holes in walls? Defeating dragon ogres in wrestling matches? Child's play.
5. Ironskin: The thick scales of Asmodai's armour ward off anything short of the strongest attacks with relative ease.
6. Dragonheart: Even his saliva is nothing short of hot molten lava. Asmodai's servants have organised a special nightwatch to guard over their overlord's slumbers; afraid his drool might burn holes through various floors.
7. Dirty Trickster: Fighting fair is for prissy guardians.
8. Night-sight: Asmodai his various eyes are extremely potent at find and seek. Be it underground, be it the shroud of the night.
9. Daemonbreed: It's hard to classify Asmodai as any race outside of a complete monstrosity. Because his humanity was sacrificed in order to achieve great power, his new physique seemed a more than appropriate mutation after obtaining demonic blood. Not that Asmodai had much of a say in that.
10. Burrowing Lord: Asmodai's various arms and newly obtained claws (not to mention ironskin's protection) allow Asmodai to travel rapidly underground. Fighting Asmodai is like playing whack-a-mole of life and death.

1. Curse Magic: While having lost his skill in most convenient magic, as Asmodai's daemon-form has affected ability to... Well, speak, the ancient tongue of curse magic (based on demonic incantations) can still be pronounced and Asmodai uses this to it's full effect.
2. Mental Domination: An extremely potent spell that creates puppets. Who can you still trust?
3. Plague of the Eternal: Imagine, you are celebrated as a hero. You have fended off overlord Asmodai's attack and saved dozens of lives. However, you're forced to live in in extreme pain and complete solitude for the few days you have to live left; for coming in contact with any living being will seal their demise as well. Good luck keeping up the morale, guardians.
4. Gateway: Now you see me, and now im in ur base killin ur d00dz.
5. Unholy Power: Panic-button deluxe.
6. Daemonic Incursion: Come forth, my infernal legions!
7. Summon Efreeti Imps
8. Summon Incubi and Succubi
9. Summon Daemonic Infantry: in the flavours shock-trooper, blademaster and heavy infantry.
10. Summon Higher Daemon:
    
    • Andrieka the Corruptress: although reminiscent of succubi, Andrieka is so much more. Like a black widow spider, she feeds on the heads of her suitors. Her allure is near impossible to resist and her wrath is feared even in the underworld itself.
    • Oman, Enslaver of the Damned: in life, Oman bought slaves to sacrifice to the inferno to extend his mortal life. Although protected from time, his body could not withstand steel and Oman died in a raid on his mansion. In fear of death, Oman took dozens of his slaves with him in a hope he would be rewarded in hell. These slaves now make up for his infernal body; making Oman a powerful higher daemon. Although he is constantly plagued by the fear and despair that dwell and echo inside the dozens of minds that make up his being.
    • Heylel the Mad King: Once an angel, Heylel longed to become a god. A presence that ascended the angelic. He raided the earth and conquered civilisations, whom he forced to worship him. His gods did not approve and locked him in the depths of hell. During his imprisonment in the abyss, Heylel transformed into an infernal berserker with boundless rage. Although one wouldn't say that, as his dormant form is that of a bull.
    • Erawan the Colossus is the largest of daemons under Asmodai's command. His dormant form is the sole mountain of Embiht. Although slow, there is little Erawan cannot move... And little that can move Erawan.
    • Tiamat the Dragon Bearer although far from a giant, fire-breathing and flying lizard herself, Tiamat is the rumoured mother of all dragons. To this end, she lived between the mortal and immortal realms for ages and unlike her fellow demons (whose forms have been forged by hellfire) Tiamat's body is covered in wood, water and bone. She hasn't given birth in centuries, though. Menopause, perhaps?

1. Lizardmen: Lizardmen are locals of swamps and very adept at defending them. Before Asmodai's arrival they weren't organised and at war with one another. Now; they make for dangerous hunters.
2. Skaven: In his days as a mindless animal, Asmodai fed on the Skaven. When his memories returned, Asmodai learned he needed a people. An army. What breeds quickly, fears the whip and can live under the worst of circumstances? The skaven could hardly decline Asmodai's proposal of following him. At least... Given the alternative...
3. Nightmares: Hidden away in the depths of Embiht there are those we call Nightmares. Drawn to Asmodai for his strength and dark magics, they pledged their swords to him. Although the curse on their king might have something to do with that.
4. Drider: Although once drow, tapping into dark forces the driders merged their bodies with spiders to become a kin like the centaur. Before their unison, the lizardmen tribes kept their population small. Now, Asmodai has forbidden the extermination of drider kind; elevating them from particularly large vermin to a race with social rights. In exchange, the drider now follow their new overlord.
5. Duergar: These dwarves were recruited by Asmodai to help forge his underground kingdom. Although many duergar still serve as construction workers, their numbers have been recruited in Asmodai's armies as well and put to good use...
6. Kobolds: Kobolds were chased from their homelands and found refuge in Embiht. Granted of course, they served. Their numbers are still little, but they are an up and coming race... Should they be given the opportunity.
7. Telepathic Command: The best orders are those that cannot be heard.
8. Drums of War: Although a little fear-inspiring rhythm can't hurt.
9. Master of Strategies: An essential skill to survive the onslaught of guardians is to not solely depend on strength and numbers. 'cause, well... Guardians have more of that.
10. Master of Attack: Bitches won't know what hit 'em. Hurricanes got nothin' on me.

1. Small Lands
2. Normal Lands
3. Big Lands
4. Bigger Lands: “That there is one ridiculously big swamp.”
5. Pillaging experts: Lighting fires in the wet swamp is difficult, but on campaign the men sure love their selves some fireworks.
6. Assassin: Sometimes you just need something dead without a big fuss.
7. Spymaster: Working well in conjunction with assassins and mentally dominated servants, spymasters are a great source of... Information.
8. Monster Tamer: Little spreads more terror than the sight of a monster on the battlefields. First learning of their use, Asmodai recruited tamers in his ranks. The very threat of his monsters alone is a valuable war asset.
9. Gold Mine: Homemade bling bling.

1. Disenchanted Priests: The order of the skaven monks have spread their religion far and wide the land. It is a powerful tool to control the civilisation and...
2. Too dumb for evil: ...Convinces guardians Embiht is filled with well-willing, god-serving peasants. They couldn't be more wrong.

1. Doubtless Loyalty: If your belief and survival instinct both tell you so, obeying is pretty much your only option.
2. Shield of Hate: Your mind magic can't touch this!
3. You can't kill the Messiah: Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true. You'll see it's all a show, keep 'em laughing as you go. Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
4. Infernal Ambition: Can't command the legions of hell if you plan to play it safe and flip burgers until retirement.

Balisq lived the life of a mercenary and self-proclaimed master thief. At least until he tried to rob overlord Asmodai. Impressed with his ability to sneak into the castle, his punishment was limited to a spear through the chest. Surviving even that impressed Asmodai enough to recruit Balisq into his ranks. Balisq is oddly pleased.

Overlord Information:

Morvin the Iron Handed
Age: 367
History:
He was born in a region which is part of the Black Kingdom of Khaelesh, as soon as he had come of age to wield a blade he was quickly pressed in the service of the dread overlords armies and was directly send off on campaign, Khaelesh had deemed that a series of raids against the Alvias Kingdom was required to remind them of his might. Morvin was among a platoon of Moredhel warriors, who were charged with plundering and pillaging one of the border settlements. He had his first taste of combat in that village, savage laughter and screams filled the air as those villagers who put up a fight where slaughtered, those who surrendered cried and begged for mercy as slave chains were fitted around their necks, wrists and ankles. While Morvin had showed some of his prowess in battle and had certainly enjoyed seeing the life fires go out in the eyes of his victims... but he knew that it was not going to be the life for him, no he wanted more in life than being a foot soldier in Khaelesh's armies, but he knew that by serving... he could make himself a reputation he could use in later years, so for the next century Morvin served his time in Khaelesh's armies, rising in the ranks and showing his capabilities and talent for commanding men in battle. So when the time came that he decided he needed to spread his wings as it were and carve out his own path he gathered a score of Moredhel who had been part of his personal escort and humbly requested Khaelesh to be dismissed from his service and carve out his own little kingdom among the other nations.

He honestly had not expected the dread overlord to allow him to leave his service, but he did and Morvin, his sister and the score of warriors who were allowed to leave with him ventured forth into the lands beyong the Black Kingdom. Morvin searched for a long tiem for a suitable location... finally finding it, a region ruled by some lordling fallen out of favour and his lands mostly forgotten... and even better he imposed heavy taxes that incited his 'loyal' subjects and there were more primitive tribes in nearby mountains who were hunted for sport. Morving recruited allies among both these groups and then began his war of conquest, settlements either switched sides or were razed to the ground till he and his growing army reached the lordling's castle. They laid siege to the castle and when Morvin thought he had won and ordered the walls to be scaled with siege ladders they encountered something none had expected or even anticipated, Undead were manning the walls and Morvin's first wave was easily repelled by them. This unexpected occurrence proved to be a setback for him but it was no matter, it merely meant he needed to adjust the strategies he had laid out, factoring in not living enemies but now noting that he had to fight the undead. Three times more his army attacked... and three times they were repulsed one after another. Frustration was nagging at Morvin and morale had suffered due to the failed attacks. Everything changed when Morvin gained new allies, the crashing of trees was the first sign of their approach and a alarm was raised, which Morvin cancelled after seeing what was causing the destruction of the trees, a drider, a enormous drider to be exact came through the forest, approaching Morvin's command tent a score of other driders following in her wake. She was a drider a matriarch and she had heard of Morvin's arrival in the lands and for reasons unknown to Morvin she swore her allegiance as well as that of her people in these parts. With these new allies the walls were once again attacked, the driders were quick to capture the gate and open it, allowing Morvin's main force to enter the castle proper. The human lordling was found in his throne room, snivelling and pleading. Morvin executed him and impaled his head on a spike, leaving the ruins of the castle as a reminder... he did gather the secrets the lordling was keeping in his castle though, the reason why he had possibly fallen out of favour with his kingdom, several books on necromancy which Morvin studied and learned the basics of this magic to use for himself.

The following century and decades saw Morvin establishing control over the lands, securing several settlements that were not yet convinced to now accept the Moredhel's rule, the conquering and subjugation of the orc tribes, gaining the loyalty of two Myrddraal enclaves that were discovered and then more importantly... sending a tribute to Khaelesh, as thanks for allowing him to leave his service and give Morvin the opportunity to create his own little kingdom. In this time Morvin has also taken steps to make it appear as his lands... merely changed leadership... in a peaceful matter... and that no... 'insidious' events are happening within it's borders that might invite unwanted attention to Morvin's plans and goals.

Dedication: 4

Weapon Master 1, Some mastery with a weapon, preferably a longsword, is required to at least show off a little in front of the men and get his sword bloodied in battle... but Morvin is wise enough not to actually engage any enemy champions directly...
Ironskin, one of the reasons they call him the Iron Handed, it is rather difficult to pierce his skin... which has saved him on several occasions.
Dirty Trickster, why fight by the rules and with honor when Morvin wants to win?
Compelling Voice, a honeyed word can often do the same as a sword to the gut... with the benefit of being less difficult to clean up afterwards...
Trap Sense: Morvin's instincts will tingle whenever he senses a trap nearby, and he has a 2x chance to detect traps under all circumstances.

Something in the Dark, worming his way inside their minds and make them see true horror... now that's a rush.
Raise Corpse, zombies, necromancy's answer to arrow fodder or human shields...
Raise Skeleton, weaker than zombies perhaps but they are fast and can still use whatever weapons Morvin equips them with.
Raise Wight, the moment he raised his first wight... was one that will be with Morvin the rest of his life... the sight of a higehr skeleton... armored... and armed with quality armor and weapons, fighting at his command, by his will... it was and still is beautiful to him.
Mental Lash: Learned by opening and 'reading' the page of his Dread Lord's book as a reward for a task done in his dread lord's service, without going insane even...

Telepathic Command, over a battle a voice can hardly be heard... so better to speak directly into the minds of his soldiers so Morvin can be sure they heard him.
Drums of War, Drums... Drums in the de- hang on, correction drums in the forests and mountains.
Master of Strategies, Morvin prefers to go into battle with a clear strategy, approaches of attack... potential escape routes... trying to anticipate what kind of opposition he is likely to face and how to counter it or them.
Master Tactician, strategies are fine but without tactics and leading his men in the middle of it all, those strategies are worthless to Morvin and his men are as good as death, so he leads them and commands them as best he can during battle.
Master of Attack, the best defense is a good offense... that and being on the offensive is just more fun.
Moredhel
Driders
Harpies
Nightmares
Orcs

Pillaging Experts, Morvin has made sure that his people do the right thing, rape the women and then burn the village... and not the other way around...
Furs, Goblin Iron, Orc Steel, Meteoric Iron & Adamantium (5)
Small, Normal, Big, Bigger & Great Lands (5)
Gold Mine
Crystal Mine

Grovel before Khaelesh, sometimes it's not what you know but who you know, yes Morvin hasn't learned much magic tricks besides some aspects of necromancy, yes his physical skills are also minor in comparison to some of the other overlords in his profession... but he has made alliances with certain races and nobles, even royalty, but the greatest... well he wouldn't dare call himself this man's ally... but he has made Khaelesh's acquaintance... and has reaped some benefits of knowing him and serving him from time to time.
Royal Ears, Appearing not as a vicious overlord bend on conquering and attempting to dislodge the local nobles from the seats of power... or at least not openly... does wonders to them trusting you and telling you things you might want to hear and could use for yourself.
Recruiters, Morvin likes leading a army, he knows he is not a dangerous swordsman... at least not yet... so he has made sure that he has ample people at his disposal to ride out at his command to seek out and convince those to join his swelling ranks.
Servants of the Mighty, Morvin has the direct ear of some lords... but also the ears of those who serve them if he truly needs to make a point or needs to hear certain rumors and secrets of note.
Rule 92, added with how 'tranquil and peaceful' his lands are Morvin is confident that anyone nosing too much in his business can be convinced he really isn't a evil man...
Dark Loremasters, their passings and goings are hard to keep track off... but when they show up at Morvin's doorstep he is more than willing to listen what they have to share.
Thieves Guild Master, they cost a bundle but if Morvin want's something the thieves guild are the ones to go to and get it for him.
Spy Guild Master, Information has no price... and yet the spy guild still demands quite a fee for their information gathering skills...
Bandit Clan, it helps to keep soem bandits on the payroll... make them appear soemwhere and then 'drive them out' showing the people you are a hero... while in reality it's all fake... in addition to what other tasks they can do in Morvin's service...
Twisted Form: The forgotten, the vile, the mutant and the heretic... well maybe not the last part but generally these people are hardly noticed and they hear such interesting things.

Spirited Leadership, if they do the fighting for him, Morvin must make sure he drives them properly to fight for him and his goals.
Self-Sufficient, Morvin want's minions with more than half a brain... and that they in fact use them for themselves!
Doubtless Loyalty, Morvin can inspire loyalty to him among his subjects and soldiers... better have them loyal than sharpening knives to aim at his back after all.
Wiser than he Looks, If some individual has proven him, or herself to be counted among his inner circle of trusted captains... then Morvin makes sure they are loyal to him and him alone... and eliminate them if they are not.

10 Elite Khaelesh Death Guard Dragon Ogres. Adamantium Armour and Weapons.

Captains:

Karn the Chained, a warlord from the east who thought Morvin's lands were ideal to pillage and plunder, after some initial success he drew the ire of Morvin who brought forth a army to deal with the pest. Karn was brought down by Morvin's Moredhel and Undead army and became the 'Chained' in reference to chains he was forced to wear in the beginning before Moredhel torturers broke his spirit and made Karn swear loyalty and allegiance to his new lord and master, Morvin. He rides at the head of Morvin's Black Knights when he is summoned to battle by his lord and master.
Physical 3, Unfortunate Beginnings
Weapon Mastery 2 (Longsword)
Horse Mastery 1
Unfortunate Beginnings:
In Chains Again: On an errand or duty for his master Karn the Chained... ended up in chains of the Lleywon city of Abreden. To recover the use of this Captain you will have to commit to a quest to release him.

Raven the She-Wolf, the humans within Morvin's domain are basically barbarians, or at least they were before they were 'educated' by their new lord. They have made significant progress over the generations but still some tendencies remain. Raven is one such, her town, her 'tribe', decides their leaders in battle, be it against their enemies or in ritual combat against other tribe champions. With her hatchet and dagger Raven earned the moniker 'She-Wolf' for her howling warcry. Drawing the attention of lord Morvin she became a captain and leader of his soldiers.
Physical 2, Flaw 1
Weapon Mastery 1 (Hand Axe)
Dual Wield Weapon Mastery
Flaw:
Howling Barbarian: Morvin may be a charming fellow, he may not, but regardless this woman is not, she is an unwashed primitive, can barely speak a civilised tongue, as far as she's concerned her eating utensils are her fingers (Your cooks have orders never to serve her soup again. While amusing the aftermath was not.), worse... while she is a howling barbarian she sees herself as Morvin's mate. Whether he likes it or not.

Kohen Skulldrinker, another example of human barbarism as Morvin calls it, currently his only human troops are cavalry and a few dozen crossbowmen but he intends to expand his army, including the human elements and he is already culling some within the ranks of finding suitable... commanders. Kohen is one of these, a warrior respected by his tribe for the skulls of his enemies he has taken in battle, ritual or otherwise.
Physical 4, 2 Flaw 2
Weapons Mastery 3 (Longsword)
Brute Strength
Flaws:
Cannibalism: What Kohen drinks from his skulls... is usually the blood of his enemies... and usually before he roasts whatever choice pieces of meat from his vanquished foes he has a hunger for...
Insane Bezerker: The reason why Kohen is a cannibal in the first place, as he enters battle... even if it's just a 'friendly' wrestling match, the blood haze descends over him and he just become a rabid animal whirling his weapon around attacking anyone or anything in his path, be it friend or foe it does not matter to him he hacks into them and when he is truly lost he might forget he even has a sword and just claw at his enemies with his hands or tear their throats out with his teeth. Men will follow him... but preferable a long distance away and not listen to any orders... assuming the screams and incoherent battle cries are orders in the first place, because while they fear Morvin, they fear the insane berzerker leading them even more.

Mask, a experiment of Morvin, Mask was taken when she was young and trained in secret by Morvin and a few select Moredhel teachers. She became his eyes and ears in his realm and beyond where a human might drew not that much attention... and could be send to quietly kill or spy upon some of her master's enemies. When not on assignment she poses as a servant of her master when she is in his presence.
Physical 2, Magic 1, Flaw 1
P- Spy Mastery 1
P- Weapon Mastery 1 (Dagger)
M- Dead-bone: Mask can make a number of enchantments to bone weapons, the weapons must be crafted from bone but she can give them a single enchantment from her selection, from 'deathtouch' which generally performs as an exceptionally high level poison, to 'armourbane' which ignores any normal armour worn by the target, but magical armour is twice as effective versus it, to 'spellbane' which can destroy any single enchantment or sustained spell at touch.
Flaw:
Deadspeaker: Mask is not entirely sane, but not because of Morvin and his people's ministrations. No, she hears the dead souls of the bone weapons she carries as they try to drive her insane.

Sorra, one of the few, if not only person in his inner circle Morvin confides in and treats with a... certain degree... of trust, but only because Sorra is his sister and has over the past three centuries not shown any indication that she wants to usurp her brother's position. In fact while he was off playing soldier, commanding his men and battling for the control of his current holdings she remained behind to take stock of his lands and made sure they were governed properly in her brother's absence. She also keeps track of her brother's allies and inner circle, making sure they stay... loyal... if not they are dealt with, openly or behind closed doors.
Physical 2, Flaw 1
Quartermaster: Sorra knows where to find and gather the things her brother needs for a campaign and makes sure he gets them before he even needs to ask.
Poison Use: One way to deal with disloyal curs in her brother's inner circle... and with... 'rivals' for her brother's attentions...
Flaw
Enraptured: Sorra is not only willing to accept Morvin's trust and reciprocate it, she loves her brother beyond what is commonly acceptable and indeed has nothing but contempt for Raven's determined belief that she is Morvin's mate. Indeed. If he showed any such interest himself Sorra would gladly be open of her feelings in that direction and volunteer for that 'position' herself.

Reoran Shadow, Reoran has performed all sorts of roles for his master Morvin, assassin, herald, diplomat, messenger, spy and in the past also a teacher. He was one of the few Moredhel instructors who taught the human Mask and groomed her to what she is now. He is loyal to Morvin and performs his duties to the letter without objecting, it is rumored that he is on occasion Sorra's lover when he is at court and not on assignment out in the field.
Physical 3
Assassin Gear Speciality 2
Diplomat 1

Black Nagaira, her past is shrouded in darkness and secrecy, rumors are abound but to none in Morvin's inner circle is it clear what the truth is, except to Morvin and his sister Sorra. Sorra had been pregnant a number of decades ago and gave birth to the child in secret at her brother's urging, he knew his sister did not aspire his position... but a niece might. So he send the child away to some trustworthy Moredhel nobles of Naggaronth where she was raised as their own but when she was of age she was send back to Morvin and became part of his Moredhel household guard... where she distinguished herself enough to eventually become part of his inner circle.
Physical 2, Magic 1, Flaw 1
P- Acrobatic: She knows how to move to say the least, and others enjoy watching her move, again to say the least.
P- Weapon Mastery 1 (Throwing Dagger)
M- Illusion Magic
Flaw:
Manhater: She does not want, seek or desire a male suiter due to an incident some years ago when an overly frisky drider decided that no definitely meant yes. Though she killed him some years later she has resented all men since as she perceives them all as just waiting for the chance to do the same to her. Whether she had a child due to the incident or not is completely unknown.

Malus Darkblade, both a title and position, 'Darkblade' is how Morvin calls his right hand man, always selected among the Moredhel the position of Darkblade is to be a general and Morvin's marshal in times of war. The current Darkblade, Malus, has shown exceptional skill to to lead both Moredhel troops and those of the other races that are loyal to Morvin and is also not afraid to speak his mind against others within his master's inner circle or against Morvin himself. And Malus is one of the few who can speak against Morvin without being executed on the spot.
Physical 3, Flaw 1
Armour Expert 1
Weapon Mastery 1 (Longsword)
Strategic Genius
Flaw:
Hypocrite: Malus is quick to criticise the other Captains in Morvin's service and even Morvin himself as he tries to forment personal loyalty amongst the troops but is all too quick to see others executed for doing the same.

Lolth, she is the oldest being in Morvin's service, far older than Morvin himself even. The other Driders look up to her in both fear and awe as she strides ahead of them and yet for her power and age she serves Morvin, which has greatly boosted his image, which he does not mind at all. In fact relying on such a powerful Drider was one of the best things that happened to him, so he treats her with the respect she is due... if only to keep on her good side and not worry about being devoured whole by her. She is also called upon when interrogating... prisoners who are unwilling to divulge the information Morvin wants.

Ranna, one of Lolth's daughters it is said, and she is mostly found with some matriarchs and the drider marksmen, scuttling to flank or attack Morvin's enemies from behind with surprise attacks or ambushes. She takes particular delight in using her race's advantage of scuttling along walls to attack enemies and see the horror in their eyes as she and her 'spider abominations' spring the trap and charge.

Warhawk, Morvin needed a harpy leader who could command and lead the harpy raiders in his employ, leading them into raids... but wouldn't get himself or a 'majority' of the harpy raiders killed. Warhawk is such a harpy who showed his talents before Morvin when he came to the harpy villages to select a harpy captain, the one who called himself Warhawk proved a capable flyer and fighter so he selected him to be the captain for his raiders.

Flaw:
Vain: Warhawk is exceptionally vain and self-obsessed he has a much higher opinion of himself than is justified as such while extremely talented and protective of his people he HAS been known to put himself in situations against foes he should never have approached.

Harpeya, she is the fastest flyer among the Harpies that serve Morvin and as such a perfect scout for Morvin to use and who also serves as a herald in case those without wings that usually serve as his messengers and heralds are too slow to act. In the field she is his eyes and ears from the skies and reports what she sees directly to him.

P- Weapon Mastery 1 (Short Spear)
M- Murder of Crows: Harpeya is capable of controlling a flock of crows that travels with her. She can control them telepathically to serve as her eyes or ears, or even as a weapon in emergencies.

Ulrika, silent and deadly, that's how Morvin thought of the Myrddraal, Nightmares, when he first encountered them in battle, his troops were struck from the darkness and were eventually routed. Seeing he could not conquer them, or at least not easily, Morvin tried diplomacy and succeeded. Since then the Myrddraal have been part of his forces and Ulrika along with her Grim archers strike fear into the hearts of Morvin's enemies with their arrows before skulking away to another position and repeat the process. She does not say much and generally let others do the talking, as long as her orders are clear and she is generally left alone she performs her duties and tasks expertly.

Menrayth, a Black Horseman, Menrayth rides into battle on his black steed along with others of his kind in a cavalry charge intend to break a enemy's morale with his, and his fellow Myrddraal's presence, making the enemy shudder in their shoes in fear as the rest of Morvin's army marches on following the cavalry charge. While not observed by the rest of his inner circle, Morvin claims Menrayth has a excellent sense of humor...

Flaw:
Allergic to Iron: Menrayth is allergic to the touch of iron or any metal alloyed with it. This prevents him from being able to use iron weapons or armour and instead rely on skill, moreover, wounds done by iron weapons take three times as long to heal. Luckily Morvin deems him useful enough to have granted him the use of a adamantium armor set and weapon... best he does not lose it...

Rogrutz Wargboyz Warchief, the Wargboyz have always had a cunning reputation, even before Morvin subjugated the mountain orcs in his realm. Of all the tribes they held back and merely watched as Morvin's army marched on the other Orc Tribes... and then simply attacked and subjugated the other tribes whose warriors were gone and then offered their allegiance to Morvin as the only Orc Tribe of the region still standing. Since then the Wargboyz have been charged with holding the mountain passes and make sure no... uninvited visitors pass through. Rogrutz is the tribe's leader and he and his pet warg Gnasher are never far apart as he is send to patrol the mountains with his warg riders.

Flaw:
Broken Compass: Rogrutz has the sense of direction that could only be possessed by a blind deaf man whose sense of smell was nonexistent and had all four major limbs cut off. It is a good day when Rogrutz can find his way out of his bedroom without aid. Fortunately his Warg has a better sense of direction.... sometimes.

Lartz, son of Rogrutz and been part of the orc infantry serving Morvin since he was able to lift a ax and shield. Like his father he stood out as the years passed by and he grew in size and strength and became a proper orc champion in the service of the overlord Morvin and bring death to his master's enemies when he commands him to do so.

Judas the Impossible

Race: human

Age: Unknown (most likely in the 35-45 range of age)

History:The beginnings of Judas are surrounded in mystery; Only Judas himself knows where he came from and who his parents were. His first appearance on record was in fact as a Captain to an infamous Over-lord known at the time as “Warlock the Grimm” at around his mid 20’s. Even during his 6 years of service, not much is known on any kind of record. For Judas was not considered to be a “terribly important” Captain; which could be understood as even now, Judas does not look overtly impressive or intimidating and doubtless he did then when he was not nearly as powerful in his past. In regards to the nature of his service to the Evil king, there are records of Judas subjugating entire races to slavery in his Lord’s name and slaughtering those who resisted. However since most of the records were destroyed following Warlock the Grimm’s death, there is not enough information regarding his early service as an Over-Lord captain and it is generally assumed that he was merely the standard villainous trash that associated themselves with Over-lords.

Despite his seemingly mediocre abilities, Warlock the Grimm still felt him able enough to station him in faraway lands across the sea to expand the Over-lord’s Dark Kingdom. This occurred during Judas’s last year of service to Warlock the Grimm and what happened across the sea in these foreign lands is even murkier than previously mentioned records. Warlock had chosen to attack this particular piece of land because there was no Guardian protecting it and he had been shrewd enough to blockade the sea route to prevent any Help from arriving. And as such only small shrivels of information can be attained as to what happened.

It seems that Warlock had been searching for an ancient Dark Temple and had finally found it in while excavating deep in the land. Judas and his master went inside together and Warlock was apparently murdered with a single slice of Judas's blade. The detailed events that occurred within that Temple is known only to Judas and has not told anyone what happened other than confirming that it indeed was himself who slew the mighty king.

After the news of Warlock’s death reached the borders of the Nations of the other Kingdoms, Guardians and Over-Lords, much was silent about the situation across the sea. It wasn't until three years later that any news arrived: Judas had declared himself the protector of the natives and with a small army of a few measly hundred fought against the remaining Captains and their massive forces and destroyed them one by one. The extraordinary circumstances in which a mere Captain killed his Over-lord and fought against his still large army against overwhelming odds and utterly annihilating them gave him the title “Judas the Impossible”. And the name has stuck ever since.

After the three year long conflict, Judas returned back to the mainland and claimed a small, harsh piece of desert and mountain to use as the foundations for his new home. Judas, despite his new fame as a guardian and the suspicions that surrounded his virtually unknown past, kept himself in isolation from the rest of the nations and other guardians. Despite eight years of his new status as a hero to the people, he still hasn't even met any of the Guardians (including Namira Vellorum III) and prefers to keep to himself, though rumors of him hopping across borders and scouring the other lands have been persistent.

Though his prefered isolation from the rest of the world has some personal merit to it; For according to many accounts, Judas the Impossible did not leave those faraway lands without any scars. Allegedly, an “evil Aura” covers him according to one traveling priest; “A feeling of dread, evil and darkness”. Whether he acquired this “taintedness” during the war or if he’s had it since the beginning of his Services to Warlock the Grimm is not known. But it’s definitely not natural and doesn’t give Judas a good reputation. Some of the more sinister or pessimistic have given him a new title: “Judas the Damned”

Salamis
-Once a Slave to an unknown Over-Lord, Salamis escaped captivity and settled with the local Naga tribes of the Baruch desert. When Judas arrived he was impressed with his skills with both the bow and the sword. But his most valuable ability lies with his great knowledge of healing wounds learned from the Naga Tribes. Which has made him the head of the Naga field medics.

3 Physical, 1 Flaw
Improved Medical Skills: Salamis is skilled even beyond the normal ability of his kind.
Weapon Mastery 2 (Trident)
Flaw
Near Sighted: Salamis is near-sighted and cannot see clearly too much further than he can reach.

Mumadil
-Once a Knight-Errant who had served under such famous Guardians as Tristan Daemon Bane & Namira Vellorum III, Mumadil traveled to the harsh land of Baruch when he heard the exploits of Judas the Impossible. Unfortunately realities hit hard and Mumadil was more than surprised when he learned (and felt) Judas's curse of a constant evil Aura. Though cold to Judas like every good Holy Knight probably would be, after 8 years of service, Mumadil is now devotedly loyal to Judas and personally leads the Crusaders and the rest of the Cavalry.

Physical 3, Dark Destiny

Dark Destiny "Dagger in the Dark" a time will come when two lives hang in the balance, Judas and that of an innocent child, Mumadil has seen prophecy, when the time comes if he does not strike down the child Judas will die, and so too will many hundreds he would have saved. This hangs like a hangmans noose over Mumadil's conscience.



Ziphion
-Silent and intimidating, Ziphion commands the general infantry of Baruch. Rumor has it that Ziphion was with Judas during the three-year war across the sea. Though the extant of their relationship is unknown to the general public. All that is known is that when Judas left to head back to the mainland, Ziphion came with him, making him the first Captain of Baruch and a skilled front-line fighter in terms of conventional and guerrilla warfare.

Weapon Mastery 2 (Greatsword)



Maai
-a representative of the large minority of Druid forces that serves the army. An enigmatic, eccentric man who is constantly in-tuned with the land and is probably the most spiritual person in Baruch. A native to the hard mountains and deserts, Maai was initially hostile to Judas on account of his "Evil Stink". Though Judas won him and the rest of the Druids over when he personally headed the construction of the Druid Stone Circle. Since then, Maai has concluded that Judas is "A Good man who is surrounded by Evil". A controversial statement, but one that Judas does not refute.

Physical 1, Magic 2, Flaw 1
Weapon Mastery 1 (Sickle)
Healing Magic
Wild Summons: Maai can summon creatures of the wilds to do things he needs doing from moving a log to ripping someones face off.
Flaw:
Deathly Afraid of Birds: For no explainable reason Maai is deathly afraid of birds, any birds, from crows to sparrows. If a bird SHITS on him he locks up like he was set in stone.


Hadar
-Confident, slightly naive and at 19 is the youngest of the Captains and is in charge of the archers of Baruch. Hadar was once a poor thief of the Empire of Bratei who escaped once the church had marked him for "cleansing". Incredibly skilled with a Bow, Hadar demonstrated his ability when he fought off a large group of bandits attacking a trade caravan. Now a Captain of the archers, some have questioned Judas's judgement in Hadar's high position: not only is the man incredibly young, he also comes off as an airhead. He usually seems more interested in hitting on women than in his own duties and constantly refers to every single female as "A Total Babe". However he does show some natural talent in the leading of the Land's archers, and the men themselves, despite usually being older than him, have taken an instant liking to his boyish charm.

Physical 4, Special Destiny
Weapon Mastery 3 (Longbow)
Acrobatic 1
Special Destiny
Destined for Guardianship: Hadar shows a lot of promise, so much in fact that three oracles have all said that he would become a guardian in his own right by his twenty-third birthday.

Anorkum, the Siege Master
-Anorkum started out as a manager of sorts in Judas's mines. During this time he was constantly recommending new tools and methods to mine the Gold, Crystal & Gems more efficiently. Eventually this evolved into creating blue-prints involving siege weapons for the defense of Judas's sanctuary. His revolutionary inventions have become critical to the safety of Baruch and is the official Captain of the Human Siege Engineers.

Physical 2
Siege Mastery 2

Ulai
-A fighter before anything else, Ulai represents the nomadic Khazra that roam the harsh land of Baruch. Impressed with Judas's extreme fighting prowess and "total humility and respect" towards the Kharza people, Ulai volunteered his service to Judas, who accepted happily and gratefully.
