Armies without leaders tend to fall apart and suffer from poor morale. Champions - You need the right person in the right place to get the job done. The various Champions hired to protect and expand the power base of a player's faction are key elements in Eldritch . Warriors lead armies, inspiring them to great victories. Mages and priests cast mighty spells to aid allies and thwart enemies.
Rogues succeed by using stealth and cleverness as a substitute for strength and power.
Finally, Champions can lay claim to titles for territories and cities, which allow them and their followers to tax the lands. Without Champions to advance its cause, a faction is almost sure to fall to its enemies. Creatures - Whether trained by skilled handlers or summoned by powerful mages, creatures are potent weapons in a faction's arsenal. Creatures range from vicious war dogs to ground-shaking elephants to mighty dragons. The major spheres are Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Life and Death.
