The Elves of the Old Mother are quick, cunning, and highly dangerous. Led by the warrior princess, Aisanda, the Elves will do anything to defend their ancestral forest. Feeling constant encroachment from the human soldiers and lumber workers of Locksdeep, the Elves have started organizing attacks upon any foreign intruders into their slowly dying, receding woods. Through the use of spears, bows, and paralytic darts, the Elves subdue their enemies, often scalping their fallen foes. Recently, the Elves lost the glowing, golden heart of their ancient tree, the Old Mother, and suspect the humans of Locksdeep as the culprits. If unable to gain back the heart, and restore life to their forest, they will resort to invading the small, desolate village of Locksdeep. Though the magic of their forest is slowly fading, the arcane runs heavily through these dark skinned, cat-eyed peoples. Because of this, they retain the ability to meld into the shadows of the forest and its foliage in order to allude their enemies. Instinct: To protect its ancestral forest at all costs

• Subdue attackers through paralytic darts
• Stalk any intruders silently
• Regain the Heart of the Old Mother
• Strike close only when necessary
• Maneuver out of any unfavorable situations

When King Ullyr has no where left to turn, he calls in the Azure Eagles. An elite squad of ten trained soldiers, duelist, and followers; their skill is unparalleled amongst the King's soldiers. To be an Eagle, one must have killed over fifty men in personal combat and have an official decree of approval from a high lord or the king himself. Led by the stern Captain Furnyr the Falcon and the charming and quick Lieutenant Cassius the Cardinal, the Eagles are sworn to complete their task no matter the cost, even in the face of death. They subdue their enemies using squad based attacks and formations, stopping their movement through the use of arcane bolas while striking them with their silver bastard swords, forged from the king's own forge. For defense, they rely predominantly on their retractable gauntlet-bound, meteorite bucklers which are said to be able to resist even a giant's blow and their plate armor chain mail combination.Across their tabards they bare the king's cross being carried by a white eagle. Fly high, strike low. Instinct:

• Follow the King's orders to the grave
• Never return until a task is completed
• Strike with bastard swords while defending with their retractable meteorite shield
• Restrict enemy movement with arcane bolas
