| − | + | United by an ancient prophecy, the warriors of the Eagle are | |

| + | unwelcome race brought: Light and Darkness. Th ey hope | ||
| + | that one day they will be able to give back to Aarklash the | ||

| + | == History == | ||
| + | |||
| + | When the humans of the people | ||
| + | of Kel landed on the shores of | ||
| + | Aarklash, they upset the life of the | ||
| + | continent. Th e oracles of the Th undereagle | ||
| + | mustered an army to fight the spawn of evil | ||
| + | terrible war ensued and the Concord | ||
| + | was defeated. Th e survivors called upon the power of | ||
| + | the Th under-eagle to open a portal to Shenroth, his Realm of | ||
| + | origin. | ||
| + | During its exile, the Concord built a fl ying | ||
| + | fortress so that it could travel from realm to | ||
| + | realm. It prepared for the day when it was to | ||
| + | return to Aarklash for revenge. | ||
| + | Soon after the beginning of the Rag’narok, | ||
| + | several representatives of the Paths of Destiny | ||
| + | realized that Aarklash was on the verge of disaster. | ||
| + | Th ey performed the ritual of Destiny to | ||
| + | open the portal to Shenroth. Th e fortress of the | ||
| + | Faathi emerged from the magical gateway, carrying | ||
| + | the army of the Eagle. | ||
| + | Th e Concord welcomed all those willing to | ||
| + | join and provided assistance to the peoples of | ||
| + | Destiny. It fought the Limbos of Acheron, which | ||
| + | caused the crash of the fortress in Avagddu. In | ||
| + | the years following the Concord had to fi ght off | ||
| + | the Ram to protect the wreck of its fortress. All | ||
| + | the peoples of Destiny came to their rescue, until | ||
| + | the attacks eventually stopped. | ||
| + | Today, the Concord of the Eagle has carved itself | ||
| + | a territory in Avagddu, which it calls Ogma. | ||
| + | Th e fortress seems beyond repair, but a real city | ||
| + | has started to develop around the wreck. | ||
| + | Th e Eagle has decided to stay and fight! | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Ragn'arok == | ||
| + | |||
| + | After the fi rst Rag’narok, which almost everyone | ||
| + | had forgotten about, the last humans of the | ||
| + | continent were forced to leave. Aarklash found peace again and the Rag’narok ended. However, the threat was | ||
| + | still hanging over the continent. Th e Th under-eagle, a powerful | ||
| + | creature from the Realm of Shenroth, deli-vered a dark | ||
| + | prophecy to some of the survivors: the day would come when | ||
| + | man would set foot on Aarklash yet again and war would | ||
| + | sweep across the continent in his wake. It is in the name of | ||
| + | this prophecy that, over a thousand years later, the warriors of | ||
| + | the Eagle are still fi ghting: they want to rid Aarklash of man | ||
| + | so that peace may be found again. Once this is accomplished, | ||
| + | the warriors of the Eagle shall become builders and give back | ||
| + | to Aarklash the face it had before the second coming of man. | ||
| + | Some of them want to go even further in their fi ght: the true | ||
| + | danger announced by the prophecy is greater than men: the | ||
| + | threat comes from all the nations that work for Light and | ||
| + | Darkness, bearers of confl icts and tragedies. Th ey want to get | ||
| + | rid of the Cynwäll, the dwarves of Tir-Nâ-Bor, the Akkyshans | ||
| + | and the devourers as well as the humans. | ||
| + | Independently from this long-term objective, the warriors of | ||
| + | the Eagle must defend the borders of their new country each | ||
| + | day: the troops of the Ram, the Scorpion and the Hyena are | ||
| + | threatening to invade the region surrounding the fl ying fortress | ||
| + | every day. Th e warriors of the Eagle are fi ghting for their | ||
| + | future, to build a new civilization on Aarklash. Among them, | ||
| + | some hope the fortress will be repaired, so that they can leave | ||
| + | Aarklash, which they consider already lost. To them the best | ||
| + | way to honor the prophecy of the Eagle is to fl ee while there is | ||
| + | still time and re-build elsewhere what humans have destroyed | ||
| + | on Aarklash. In the meantime, there is a debt that all the warriors | ||
| + | of the Eagle need to repay: the peoples of destiny have | ||
| + | saved their lives over the last few years. Th e Eagle now owes | ||
| + | them a debt and its warriors are assisting their allies in battle | ||
| + | all-over Aarklash! | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Army == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Th e army of the Eagle is diverse | ||
| + | with some fi ghters of fl esh | ||
| + | and blood, while others are only | ||
| + | made of pure magical energy. | ||
| + | Coming straight from ancient | ||
| + | times, it fi ghts according to long | ||
| + | forgotten rites and strategies. For | ||
| + | all these reasons the Eagle army | ||
| + | can seem rather odd to enemy | ||
| + | commanders. Creatures and | ||
| + | mystics are very common among | ||
| + | its ranks, which is quite surprising | ||
| + | for enemy fi ghters. Giants | ||
| + | and minotaurs play the role of | ||
| + | elites, while the centaurs are the | ||
| + | Eagle’s cavalry. Wild and merciless, | ||
| + | these soldiers show no pity | ||
| + | and fi ght with savage determination. | ||
| + | Th e commanders of the | ||
| + | Eagle are just like these fi ghters. | ||
| + | Th ey would rather attack than | ||
| + | wait in defense. Th ey never hesitate | ||
| + | to unleash the power of the | ||
| + | Elements and Aspects upon the enemy. Th ey always make | ||
| + | sure the enemy is caught in a defensive stance, at the mercy | ||
| + | of the mystic powers of the Eagle. | ||
| + | Th e archons of the Faathi are probably the most famous | ||
| + | warriors of the Eagle and the most feared across Aarklash. | ||
| + | Th ese minotaurs have sworn to remain loyal to the Th undereagle | ||
| + | and are the chosen priests of the Concord. Appointed | ||
| + | by the assembly of Destiny to watch over the equilibrium of | ||
| + | Aarklash, they can call miracles, but also split the skull of any | ||
| + | enemy. Some would rather make sure their people and the | ||
| + | nations of Destiny are safe before anything else, while other | ||
| + | archons have made the decision to exterminate Light and | ||
| + | Darkness as quickly as possible. In both cases, they are great | ||
| + | warriors that should not be provoked. Th e centaurs who accompany | ||
| + | the Concord of the Eagle are originally from Dracynrän, | ||
| + | a region now forgotten by man. Descended from the | ||
| + | few who survived the madness of men, they fi ght with the energy | ||
| + | of despair. Master archers as well as great lancers, they | ||
| + | infl ict heavy losses on the enemy protected behind their great | ||
| + | shields! | ||
