=== <ins><strong>ALAHAN CHAMPIONS</strong></ins> ===

<strong>SILIENNE OF LAVERNE</strong><br>

Born in Laverne, a northern barony of the Kingdom of Alahan, Silienne had to quickly leave these lands ravaged beyond all rehabilitation following the wars against the Ram.<br>
By the time she reached the land of the Cynwäll, she was the sole survivor of her group. <br>
The elves there present chose to raise her as their own. <br>
Preferring the bow to the traditional crossbows of her guardians, Silienne quickly gained the respect of her elf companions thanks to her prowess with this weapon that they admired, but considered obsolete.<br> 
Following her rite of passage to adulthood, the Elves offered her a composite bow made of a supple, lightweight and durable alloy, "Heart Piercer", wrought by Heliasts to match Silienne's breathtaking abilities. Her experience in the forest of Allyvie makes her a solitary hunter able to track and hit her target from prodigious distances.

<strong>ARINIUS THE PROUD, ROYAL GUARD</strong><br>
Arïnius the Proud is the descendant of a noble lineage of Knights. His many feats of arms came to the hearing of the royal court.<br>
It is said that when he was offered a post within the prestigious Order of the Royal Guards, Arïnius would only have agreed on condition of being free to combat evil wherever he may choose. <br>
His unmatched pride makes him a ruthless adversary that none has yet managed to defeat.<br>
His sacred weapons make him a formidable fighter, be it in a duel or against a horde of enemies.<br>

<strong>THE CHIMERA</strong><br>
The Chimera is a mythological creature whose power is beyond imagination. <br>
At the very origin of arcane magic, she is also the incarnation of Virtue.<br>
All Barhan magic derives its power from the esoteric teachings of this prodigious immortal of the Light.<br>

=== <ins><strong>YLLIA CHAMPIONS</strong></ins> ===

<strong>EMEROK, GUARDIAN OF THE RUNES</strong><br>
Wisest amongst the wise, the Guardians of the Runes embody the word of Yllia, goddess of the moon.<br>
A distant descendant of Tyresiax, Emerok has become one of the most powerful amongst them. <br>
The mystical powers of his lineage, as well as the Runes of Divination, with their lunar origin, that he carries with him, grant him exceptional abilities that can turn the tide of battle.<br>

<strong>RYSKAR, BLOODTHIRSTY PREDATOR</strong><br>
Ryskar was once a Wolfen Predator, recognized as the most powerful in his pack.<br>
During the bloody pact, it is said that Ryskar met a mysterious immortal spirit deep in the forest of the Red Oak, a spirit far more powerful than any other entity of the same type ever encountered by the Wolfen. <br>
Their union created a veritable bloodthirsty monster, a Bloodthirsty Predator whose power is unmatched to this day amongst the Predators.<br>

<br>
<strong> KELRYS, SON OF YLLIA</strong><br>
The mere appearance of Kelrys is a powerful omen, galvanizing all Wolfen who serve him. <br>
Indeed, the very existence of a Worg clearly presages the dawning of the Rag'narok. <br>
But Kelrys is not just any Worg... he is a hero amongst them, a direct descendant Yllia.<br>
If it is said that one Worg can wipe out entire battalions, Kelrys could probably kill several Worgs all by himself, with ease... A terrifying prospect, for even the bravest of armies.<br>

=== <ins><strong>ACHERON CHAMPIONS</strong></ins> ===

<Strong>KAÏN THE SCOURGE</strong><br>
Kaïn cannot recall his existence before, when upon a battlefield, he discovered the Fist of Kaïn, the terrifying scourge with which the Lord of the Black Paladins has defeated countless opponents. <br>
He has even forgotten where he came from and what his real name is. The evil weapon, manifestation of an inhuman power, took hold of him at the same moment that he took hold of it. The legend of the Scourge is not that of a man, but of a weapon.<br>
After winning countless victories across the decades and having written the Codex of the Scourge, Kaïn was authorized by the Fathers of the Houses of Acheron to found the order of the Black Paladins.<br>
Their caste does not comprise a great number of units, but it has already earned a terrifying reputation in battle.<br>
Many heroes of the Light secretly hold Kaïn and his warriors in high esteem, considering them as enemies as courageous as themselves...<br>

<br>
<strong>MELMOTH, SKÛLL WARRIOR</strong><br>
The Skûll Warriors of Acheron were once great heroes, drawn into the camp of Darkness by one means or another. <br>
Melmoth was one of the champions of the Aran Kelt clan before a fratricidal war tore his family apart. <br>
Beset with despair, tortured by so many unnecessary deaths, Melmoth collapsed into madness and gorged himself on massacres until death deigned to carry him away. <br>
This was only the beginning... the warlord returned to haunt the land of the living in the guise of a Skûll Warrior. <br>
His now accursed sword, "Agony", would serve the cause of the Ram until the end of time. Melmoth is renowned as an extremely brutal and merciless adversary.<br>

<br>
<Strong>KERBEROS, FLESH GOLEM</strong><br>
Nobody really knows how Kerberos came to this world.<br>
Flesh Golems are abominations created from multiple corpses by the most powerful necromancers of the Ram in order to crush their enemies, wherever they are sent.<br>
This one seems to have been necroanimated from more lethal remains than usual. <br>
It is not just a huge killing machine as others of its ilk: it also has a personality ... brutal, sadistic and, most importantly, brimming with anger.<br>
