Here is a list of both the various enemies we will face, as well as some of the friendlier faces. As well, I will keep the "Things that changed the world" section as we progress. I still plan to add a lot more to this section in the coming days. [center][hider=Notable Enemies][center][u][b]Notable enemies: Cultists [/b][/u][/center] The cultist, in my experience, are very devoted to bringing the end of the world; for whatever reason that is. They number in the thousands, and are made up of mostly human mages; though there have been reports of dwarf and elven cultists walking amongst their brethren. [center][u][b]Cultist mages: [/b][/u][/center] Coming in various sizes and from numerous different races, the cultist mages would be difficult to track down if not for their very ornate and decorated robes that cover them from head to toe. The main color of their robe is a solid black color with a gold trip around the neck, shoulders and across the waist area which, unsurprisingly, gives off a regal yet uncomfortable vibe to most who look upon them. Whilst they are not the most skilled in melee combat, they make up for it with a working understanding of magic and with sheer numbers. [center][u][b]Cultist Summoner: [/b][/u][/center] [center][IMG]http://i67.tinypic.com/m79j0h.jpg[/IMG][/center] Dressed in a similar setup as the mages, with an addition of a black cloak with golden hues around the edges, these summoners are dangerous foes. Cultist Summoners are able to turn a corpse into a mindless husk or summon a demonic entity through use of charms, amongst the various other tricks they are able to pull off. In addition to the summoner magic, most of these soldiers have a better understanding of elemental magic than their basic mage counterparts. These are very dangerous enemies who should be approached with caution. [center][u][b]Notable enemies: Demonic creatures [/b][/u][/center] Demonic beasts are creatures that appear in many different forms, but all share the same nightmare inducing look. From massive wolf like beasts with fur as dark as the nights sky to the smaller minotaur's, we have faced a number of different variants to know that it is not much alike amongst them, and how to kill them. [center][IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/f3dmc9.jpg[/IMG][/center] [center][u][b]Demonic Hound:[/b][/u][/center] Standing at a height of six feet tall and with a girth of nearly five feet out, these hulking beasts take a tremendous amount of punishment to bring down while possessing supernatural speed. Thankfully, these beasts are extremely rare thus far, but the longer the breach remains the more I suspect will slip into the realm. [center][IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/dwqvfc.jpg[/IMG][/center] [center][u][b]Minotaur:[/b][/u][/center] Half human, half oxen, these beasts were a common site a thousand years ago; though their reign of terror ended when the last Minotaur was slain. It seems the demonic forces have given them a new chance as they now pour through into our realm. As strong as five men, and with hide more durable than the strongest armor, these beasts take some skill to take down. Thankfully, magic is one weakness. Their time in the underworld has corrupted their appearance, losing their crimson red fur completely and stripping some flesh from their bodies. [center][IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/2r26wpu.jpg[/IMG][/center] [center][u][b]Knights of the Underworld – [/b][/u][/center] The first monsters out of the breach, these towering humanoid creatures are the finest warriors the Realm of the Dead have to offer; and they've had all of eternity to hone their skills. Appearing as if a creature of pure elemental fire worse heavy, barbarian style armor, these creatures are a walking inferno encased in sturdy armor. Magic appeared ineffective at first, and all attempts at physical confrontations were met with a swift end to the soldier. Advise caution and avoid at all cost. [center][IMG]http://i67.tinypic.com/15s3jo5.jpg[/IMG][/center] [center][u][b]Skeleton army[/b][/u][/center] – From the breach, these old bones came forth. Long since removed from even remembering what being alive felt like, these creatures move silently and ruthlessly across the battle field. They are slower, weaker and easily dispatched of than a living soldier, but the dead far outnumber the living. [hider=Mûl Enuri] [center][h3][color=black][b][u]The Mûl Enuri[/u][/b][/color][/h3] [img]http://orig09.deviantart.net/2241/f/2017/044/7/3/anomander_rake_by_ceriselightning-dayxvlx.png[/img][/center] [hr][hr] [center][h2][b][color=black]Appearance & Background[/color][/b][/h2] The Mûl Enuri were a mercenary band of Mûl elves that initially helped the races of the world against The Mad King. They were the most ferocious of fighters utilizing their unique skills on the front lines or sabotaging the Mad King's efforts behind enemy lines, acting as assassins and counter-insurgents. Usually they consisted of a cell of five fighters: one mage, two archers, and three swords men. These cells were considered an entire force unto themselves due to how effective they were, and it was in large part, due to their efforts that The Mad King was pushed back to the mountain as the insurgents behind enemy lines were constantly sabotaging supply lines, assassinating key officers, intercepting messages, and so on. However, when the dragon blew out of the mountain, the Mûl Enuri found themselves an opportunity for power and using ancient magic made a blood pact with the dragon and the Mad King both. This dark magic thus cursed the Mûl Enuri turning their skin oily black, their hair white, and they became the servants and guardians of the dragon. The curse also gave all the Mûl Enuri the ability to cast powerful dark and necromantic magic and enchanced their combat abilities by several fold. Luckily for the races of the world, only a few cells of the Mûl Enuri surved the curse.[hr] [h2][color=black][b]Powers and Abilities[/b][/color][/h2] The Mûl Enuri are incredibly powerful foes, versed in dark magic, incredibly skilled in physical combat, and supremely fast. It is said the darkness in their souls are so potent that they are anathema to life, corrupting any and all purity around them; their aura of corruption potent enough to turn the soil they touch into blasted wastelands. The Mages, along with being at the head of the Cultist Wizards, have within their arsenal incredibly powerful necromantic and dark magic, able to resurrect and assemble entire armies of the dead into their service and summon hordes of demons beyond the portal. Then there are the Mûl Enuri warriors. Generals and Officers of the Mad King's armies, they carry swords of pure darkness within its own mist of corruption, when drawn transforms and changes the land around them into a horrific, grisly environment that resemble the demonic realm. They are arguably the finest warriors within the Mad King's armies and every foe they slay comes back instantaneously to fight against those they once called allies. [/center] [/hider] This is just a small group I have had time to record in my journal, when I know more I will send the information back. ~Mulad [/hider][/center] [center][hider=Notable friends][center][u][b]Notable friends [/b][/u][/center] [center][u][b]Lavas Soldiers: [/b][/u][/center] Thanks in part to the pure riches at the disposal of the Lavas people, the average rank and file member of the Lavas army is better equipped and better trained than any other human army out there. Their armor has a silver color to it, with a blue hue strewn across the edges of the chest plate and with a vibrant sky blue cloak on the back. They are usually found with both a spear and a sword for offense, with a tall tower shield painted in the same sky-blue as their cloaks for defense. In the center of the shield, there is an engraving of a white ship, the symbol of the Lavas nation. I have noticed that they tend to lack in morale compared to the Firen or the Glamhoth soldiers. [center][u][b]Glamhoth Wall Crushers: [/b][/u][/center] [center][img]http://i61.tinypic.com/2ibcn6r.jpg[/img][/center] The Wall Crushers from Glamhoth have a reputation that proceeds them. These fearsome warriors are some of the most skilled and most savage of all the soldiers from the Glamhoth confederation. Each soldier is well armored and well equipped for their task of breaking shield walls, with some carrying heavy two handed axes that could split even the mighty tower shields of the Lavas people. Often times when wounded, these soldiers enter a trance-like state known to the outside world as the "Blood lust". While in this state, their tolerance for pain is increased while the speed at which they move and their overall reflexes are improved as a whole. I have personably seen this bloodlust in the early parts of the battle. It is as advertised. [center][u][b]Firen Shock Soldiers: [/b][/u][/center] [center][img]http://i57.tinypic.com/2afj40y.jpg[/img][/center] The most feared and well-trained unit at the disposal of any human nation are the Firen Shock Soldiers. At a young age, recruiters often scour the countryside for poor families who are ill-prepared to take care of their young children. These recruiters often give the parents a small lump sum of money in exchange for the kid, and then take the children to the mountaintop city of Kiasa. Kisa is a famous city in and outside the Firen realm, as the warriors produced from there are the things of legend. In battle, these soldiers are as fast and agile as an elven soldier while being as ruthless and ferocious as a Glamhoth wall breaker. They are also the best-equipped soldiers in the Firen arsenal, with must being issued a long spear and a Xiphos, with some carrying javelins as well. Their armor is a light weight, but sturdy design with chainmail underneath a simple steel cuirasses. The training, however, has been known to claim the life of over three-quarters of all who have started and as such the ranks of the Firen Shock, Soldiers is limited. Make no mistake, however, as the mere sight of a small squad of these soldiers is enough to cause most general to surrender on the spot. [center][u][b]Firen Man at arms: [/b][/u][/center] [center][img]http://i57.tinypic.com/14jckjq.jpg[/img][/center] The average rank and file soldier of the Firen people. Boasting decent quality in all aspects of a soldier, this army is well equipped to handle most situations with some degree of efficiency. [center][u][b]Notable Elves and their armies: [/b][/u][/center] [center][u][b]Lebethron Foot soldiers: [/b][/u][/center] [center][img]http://i58.tinypic.com/35kjxhf.jpg[/img][/center] Boasting both effective and stylish armor, the Leberthron Foot soldiers are a fierce some force that many hope to never face is combat. Owing to their hundreds of years worth of training, a Lebethron is the master of the battlefield. Their biggest weakness is their lack of numbers, though that has not stopped them from defeating armies ten times their size. [center][u][b]Mûl Sword company:[/b][/u][/center] [center][img]http://i57.tinypic.com/29pxfg2.jpg[/img][/center] A group of Mûl decided to band together over a hundred years ago formed the now infamous mercenary company. As skilled in combat as most Lebethorn Foot Soldiers but twice as vicious, the Mûl Sword company is an effective fighting force in any war. Their major weakness, like most elves, is their lack of numbers with only four hundred soldiers under their employment. Though through clever tactics, and a bit of savagery, the Mûl are not ones to be messed with. [center][u][b]Andrann Mages: [/b][/u][/center] [center][img]http://i57.tinypic.com/52asnn.jpg[/img][/center] Andrann Mages are as effective in combat as in other purposes, such as adding magical effects to weapons and armor. The vast majority of the Andrann population is magic capable so the Andrann Mages act as their foot soldiers. Trained heavily in both melee combat and magic, these soldiers fight with a unique fighting style all their own. [center][u][b]Andrann Elemental Archers:[/b][/u][/center] [center][img]http://i59.tinypic.com/2vis5d1.jpg[/img] [img]http://i59.tinypic.com/bheycn.jpg[/img][/center] Combining magic with arrowheads are some of the few things these archers are capable of. The effects of which are not to be laughed at. From consuming whole squads in a firestorm to freezing sections of an area, making those encased in ice susceptible to blunt attacks and hard to walk on as a whole. A full volley from there archers is enough to turn the tide in any battle, but it appears as the special metal used in making their arrow heads is hard enough to find. [center][u][b]Notable Dwarves and their armies. [/b][/u][/center] [u][b][center]Anfangrim Dragon Slayers:[/center][/b][/u] [center][img]http://i58.tinypic.com/2j3popf.jpg[/img][/center] The Dragon Slayers are only dragon killing machines in name only, but they are still some of the most well trained and battle hardened soldiers in the realm. Constant warfare waged over their treasure filled depths with the Goblins and their kind have led to these soldiers boasting excellent reflexes, anticipation, and a killer instinct for when to strike. [center][u][b]Hadhodrim Bone Crushers:[/b][/u][/center] [center][img]http://i60.tinypic.com/n2e3qf.jpg[/img][/center] The Bone Crushers is a company of dwarves who mine the depts of the Hadhodrim mineral de [center][u][b]Surface Dwarves Forsaken:[/b][/u][/center] [center][img]http://i59.tinypic.com/33u3ha0.jpg[/img][/center][/hider][/center] [b][i]Events that changed the world.[/i][/b] In this section I will be putting events, both current as we write and historical as per our Character Sheets. The more things we accomplish, the longer this list grows!
