Magic Characters:Enchantress (Add-on character): The Enchantress is no ordinaryspellslinger; she uses her magic to enhance her powers of seductionto a predatory art.If any Enchantress was ever ugly, she has since woven so much magic into her bodythat her every bend and curve approaches perfection. Enchantresses are legendarythroughout Zirconyx as courtesans, entertainers and spies. It's easy to forget howdevious they are, always conniving to further their own hidden goals. Of course, if anEnchantress is ever exposed, she can make herself appear so innocent, harmless andvulnerable that men will rush to her defense. Regardless, she is well capable ofdefending herself.Ghoul (Add-on Character): A ghostly visitor from the spirit world,dark and secretive, and an emissary of the deadly fog Erebus.Floating through the vast reaches of Erebus, the magical Ghouls keep a steadfast vigilin the mist, slaughtering anyone who ventures outside the Kingdom's magical protection.As masters of shadow and trickery, Ghouls are powerful opponents, shielded fromthe touch of iron and steel by their evil magic. No one knows how they manage to enterand leave Erebus, or why. They guard the secret with their lives.Mage: Advanced magical spells fill the repertoire of this master oftheory.The life of these scholars and scribes consists of endless study. They have evolved (somemight say reduced) magic to a cycle of experiments, catalogues, archives and lists. It'srare to find a Mage without a book clamped under his arm. Their reclusive lifestyledoesn't make them very popular, but when someone needs to find a book in the vastlibrary in the Glow Mountains, it's the Mages they turn to.Sorceress: A mistress of time, space, and destruction. To defy aSorceress is to laugh in the face of Death.It takes great power to transcend the laws of physics. These she-devils have harnessedthe potential of the astral plane, allowing them to tiptoe along the delicate strands ofexistence. It doesn't take a genius to recognize the difficulty in attacking someone whocan jump through time at will. Their order was once welcome in the Glow Mountains,but when they attempted a coup, the wizards banded together and banished them to thedark forest of Tartarus.34 © 2004-2010 Chivalry Games
Warlock: A wielder of the dark arts, cheating death and laying lowhis opponents with the foulest of magics.Banished from the Glow Mountains, the Warlocks are wizards who crossed the line, whotoyed with forbidden knowledge and became entangled with it. Their necromantic powersallow them to raise zombies from the dead and throw swarms of flesh-eating insectsat their enemies. They command a grudging respect from their enemies, despite their vainand vengeful nature, and all Warlocks believe they've raised death to an art form.Wizard: A wise and friendly master of Magic, using his power tohelp those who deserve it and punish those who don't.Wizards are unique. Their attunement to the raw essence of magic allows them to casta great variety of spells, from healing to hurting -- and when a Wizard is angry, thingsare going to get destroyed. Apprentices have to study for decades to attain the rank ofWizard, turned into old men by the time they finish their studies. After that, they oftentake to wandering, helping the needy as they see fit. They can often be found living likehermits in the Elven Woods, where the herbs and fungi for their magic potions grow inabundance.Neutral Characters:Barbarian: Nomadic savages, renowned for their strength and theirbattle madness. They are rightly feared throughout the land.These battle-loving people are famous among the citizens of Zirconyx. There are manysongs about the Barbarians' tremendous strength, and about the pitiless death waitingbeneath their heavy axes. They have centuries of experience at raiding the GrassyPlains, taking whatever they need from the caravans and villages that 'trespass' on 'their'land. Barbarians also pride themselves on their fighting ability and tend to regard magicusers as pathetic weaklings. A Barbarian spends most of his time practicing his skills,while robbing everyone in sight and smashing everything else.Centaur (Add-on Character): Cavalry without the need for a rider,Centaurs make awesome lancers and spearmen, fast as a charginghorse. They consider themselves the ultimate evolution of cavalry warfare.On the plains, it's not rare to hear a sudden thunderstorm on a clear blue sky. A passingherd of Centaurs makes a lot of noise at full gallop. Half-man and half-horse, fusedtogether long ago in a magical accident, they have become a people of their own. Whilethey're prone to vanity, Centaurs are excellent warriors. They charge into an enemyformation, go through, and form up again for the next attack. Although a touch undisciplined,Centaurs are well-adapted to combat situations, and they're often make allianceswith the other peaceful inhabitants of the Grassy Plains.© 2004-2010 Chivalry Games 35
