Protectors of the forest, the proud Forest Elves strive to maintain Nature’s dominance. In battle, they call upon all the creatures of the forest, such as wolves, bears, and even leopards to help gain the advantage. Highly skilled archers, Forest Elves are often able to defeat their foes without ever engaging in hand to hand combat. But when a melee skirmish is unavoidable, the skill of Elven warriors should not be underestimated.

The scourge of the living, Undead have only one goal: to eradicate all life. From dark necromancy to demonic forces, the Undead army is vast and employs all manner of cursed beings to bring about wanton death and destruction. Each battle only serves to increase the ranks of the Undead, as death begets more death. From utterly devoted Skeletons, which show no fear or pain, to formidable Liches and Vampires, the Undead army is truly a force to be feared. More about Undead.
Cunning and fierce, some say that Ghob-lings are even more at one with Nature than the Elves. Coming in a variety of shapes and sizes, each Ghob-ling can trace their lineage back to Ghob, the king and ruler of all Ghob-lings. No one knows for sure how long Ghob has been part of this world, but it is known that Ghob’s rule is uncontested. Smarter than they are often given credit, Ghob-lings use trickery as well as force to subdue their opponents.
Accustomed to harsh living conditions, Vikings are hardy and strong-willed, not to mention skilled at killing things. Harnessing the power of runes, Vikings make formidable foes. Masters of their own destiny, Vikings have a knack for overcoming seemingly unbeatable odds. Woe unto those facing the wrong side of a Viking’s bearded axe.
