JOKULL REX - STORR KING
In the annals of history, Jökull Rex ascended to the throne following the passing of his predecessor, Hakon Rex, adhering to the age-old tradition of consuming the remains of the former king. This macabre rite, believed to transfer wisdom, strength, and longevity, has rendered Jökull Rex a figure spanning centuries. His enduring existence has been marked by battles against the treacherous Var’ac during the War of Blood and Deceit and the observation of countless Human Kings and Queens rise and fall. Yet, amid the tapestry of time, a seed of animosity took root within him.
Humanity, in their relentless pursuit, targeted and hunted his brethren without mercy. In response, Jökull Rex, with an unwavering determination to shield his kin, established a dominion along the formidable, ‘Spine of Amaruq’, known to the Humans as, The Orestes Mountains.
Jökull Rex stands as a formidable presence, his towering figure instilling awe and trepidation among contenders and adversaries alike.

QUEEN VALENTHIA - VAR'AC QUEEN
A paragon of unparalleled beauty, cunning, and ruthlessness. Her people, devout and fearful, execute her commands without question, for her legend is wrought with the blood of those who dared to defy her.
The saga of Queen Valthenia recounts her exile and pariah status, decreed by the archaic high council of Elders. Wandering through the untamed realms of the world for years, her relentless pursuit of history became a driving force, a conviction that the Var’ac race had deviated from their ancestral path and that salvation lay dormant in the annals of the past. In a fateful expedition to The Devil’s Forge, she uncovered the legendary skull of the long-deceased Var’ac Warlord Slavomír, and received a divine blessing from an ancient deity's relic. From this crucible, Valthenia emerged reborn—imbued with strength and an intimate understanding of Sanguine Magic.
Upon her triumphant return, Valthenia ascended to queenship through the assassination of the ruling elite of the vampiric council. Now, her indomitable will stands unyielding as she assumes the mantle of a warrior-queen—an ancient force that brooks no opposition, ensuring her reign as the unwavering sovereign of her race.

The camaraderie shared is reciprocal; his troops hold a deep affection for him, and he, in turn, for them. However, as the echoes of war resound and the specter of an imminent adversary looms, Drago's countenance transforms into that of an unyielding commander. He issues orders with unwavering confidence and stoicism, even if such directives lead his men to the precipice of mortality. The soldiers, unwavering in their loyalty, follow his commands without protest, acknowledging that this seasoned lord of battle observes the ebb and flow of conflict with meticulous precision.

EMPEROR AR'ONATH - DAEMON GOD
In the abyss of malevolence, Ar’onath emerges as the visage of pure evil.
