Races

Human

HUMAN

The bustling city of Britain, with its industrious citizens, stands as a testament to Human resilience, diversity, and unwavering spirit. Despite the fall of their revered leader, Lord British, during the harrowing Battle of the Long Night, Humans have continued to flourish, holding their ground against a world fraught with peril. In the wake of that cataclysmic battle, many other races viewed Humanity as a relic of a bygone era, destined for extinction. Yet, the indomitable will of Humans proved them wrong. They repelled the malevolent forces, driving them back to their dark realms. The heroic fall of Lord British, who valiantly led the cavalry, ignited a fiery resolve across the battlefield, as the echoes of human spirit reverberated in defiance. From the youngest to the eldest, every Human knows the legends of their great heroes from that epoch. Now, a new era dawns, calling for fresh champions to rise and carve their own legacy in the annals of history.

Humans are renowned for their martial prowess, exceptional craftsmanship in blacksmithing, and advanced trade skills. They possess an increased carrying capacity beyond what their physical strength suggests and enjoy a higher likelihood of finding additional resources when gathering hides, ores, or lumber. This unique blend of abilities makes them versatile and formidable, ready to face any challenge that comes their way.

Dryad

Dryad

The majestic Dryads reside within the vast expanse of mountains, valleys, and ravines, serving as vigilant guardians of these sacred lands. Their unparalleled connection with the spirits makes them the sole beings attuned to their ancient callings. Endowed with extraordinary intellect, the Dryads possess boundless wisdom concerning the secrets of nature, mastering its intricate mysteries.

Renowned for their mastery in bowcraft, archery, and musicianship, Dryads hold a legendary status throughout the realm. Their skill with the bow and their enchanting melodies have become the stuff of legend, whispered in awe by those who have witnessed their prowess. In battle, their agility is unmatched; they move with a fluid grace, striking swiftly and relentlessly to overwhelm their foes with remarkable ease.

Dryads embody the harmony of the natural world, merging beauty with deadly precision. As guardians of the wild, they stand as eternal sentinels, ensuring that the ancient balance remains undisturbed, and their sacred lands continue to thrive under their watchful eyes.

Varkolak

Varkolak

Once rulers over vast swathes of Britannia, the Varkolak knelt before the six gods of darkness. However, their faith shattered when they succumbed to Humans during the cataclysmic Battle of the Long Night. For the Varkolak, victory remains the sole imperative. When their people fell under the blades of the very Humans who had revered and respected them for ages, they believed their gods had forsaken them.

Driven by a strict military ethos, the surviving Varkolak found refuge in the shadows of Britannia's underground tunnels, where they persistently rebuild. Though they have regained control of their ancestral heartland in Buccaneer's Den, their grip is tenuous. Despite the centuries that have passed since the fateful battle, Humans persist in their conflict with the Varkolak, haunted by the specter of what might have been.

The Varkolak are renowned for their martial prowess, mastery of dark magics, and unwavering survival instincts. Their powerful wings grant them flight at speeds rivaling a horse's gallop, and they possess heightened meditative abilities. In the face of Britannia's uncertainties, the Varkolak endure, resolute in their quest to reclaim lost glory and assert their indomitable will upon the world.
