Elden World/Classes

The player character can choose from many different classes. Within each class, there are different pathways that they can take.

## Warrior

Warriors choose between Combat Arts and Weapon Arts, which denote specializations in martial arts and weapons.

## Mage

Mages devote themselves to the study of Mystic Paths. One of these is Warp Magic.

## Warlock

Little is known about the Warlock class except that it requires the user to interact with the Demon race.

## Priest

There is a priest class. They are able to use holy magic which is what is required to permanently kill Demons.

## Necromancer

Necromancy is the power of manipulating the dead, and the power possessed by Aldrich.

> *As a Necromancer, death has always been by your side. It has creeped by your shadow. It has lurked in the depths of your being. It has shaped who you are. But unlike many who face death and break under its abyssal gaze, you stared back and took control over the darkness.*
>
>
> *Wielding negative energy toxic to life but nourishing to undead, you commit yourself to a path of dark magics where under your masterful touch, death is never the end. Or perhaps, to you, death is merely a beginning.*
>

>
> *Raising undead armies, summoning rotted and bare boned monstrosities, and spreading necrotic misery and the cold of the grave all fall under your domain.*

### **Boundaries**

A specific power that powerful undead have is called a Boundary, which is effectively a territory of their own where they can exert authority and their powers are boosted. Death Lord's Boundary is Necropolis, A massive dimension akin to an entire city. Undead that are attuned well with the flow of spirits may create Boundaries where the powers of death bloom their strongest. But powerful undead are all naturally attuned to spirits, to the flow of death. Thus, they all develop Boundaries of their own as a matter of course in their growth.

Liches naturally started to develop Boundaries at a certain stage in their existence, but most regular Liches could only project an incomplete Boundary. These looked like large swathes of watery darkness yet to be shaped into anything specific. But even those were deadly. A complete Boundary was quite literally like a separate dimension. This dimension was unique to every single Lich, representing their inner world - their very soul.

### Occultations

Necromancy is a broad art, as all encompassing as the dark is when the sun sets and restless spirits rise. As such, there are a few different sub-classes within Necromancy, known as Occultations.

**[-Occultation of the Shattered Bone**

You let negative energies surge through your own body, harnessing them to strengthen it. Where others who practice necromancy have let their forms grow pale, sickly, and weakly, you have maintained a body and bones of iron. You do not herald death with bolts and curses or undead minions, but through weapons of bone swung with your own two hands. You do not raise minions, but you modify your own body through ghastly experiments, stitching together a monstrous yet battle-ready form that will strike fear and lethal blows equally across the battlefield

Stat Affinities: Strength/Vitality/Magic]

**[-Occultation of the Cold Rot**

Death is cold. Death is merciless. And after death, there is always rot. With this Occultation, you hold great mastery to inflict death. With a single bolt of death magic, you will cull unworthy lives. With a wave of your hand, you will cast fog that numbs and drains life from those that are still yet warm and living. With a mere touch, you will impart diseases and curses of rot that will cause untold pain and suffering.

Stat Affinities: Magic/Agility/Attunement]

**[-Occultation of Legion**

Death is never the end. With this occultation, you ensure that those that have fallen will always have a second chance. A second chance to serve under your thrall. You take empty, lifeless corpses and breathe negative energy into them, granting them eternal undeath by your side. You may strengthen the undead, repairing their rotting flesh or strengthening their bleached bones. You may even call into the Nether and summon mighty undead who have ascended from mere nameless animated corpses to beings akin to high spirits or even gods. You are never alone. Any battle you take, you shall have the might of countless graves supporting you.

You are Legion.

### Trial Quests

Trial Quest 1: was a forest that housed trolls and mudcrabs. Its boss was a massive slime, and its hidden boss was the Mind Eater Fler'Gan.

## Death Knight

Death Knight is the class of Valeria of the Immortal Legion, Chosen Undead of Aldrich.

### Oaths

Like many classes, Death Knight also has paths that one can take depending on their specialization.

**[- Oath of Blood and Bone**

Specializes in blood magic and body reinforcement. Blood magic ordinarily cost both mana and health, but since Valera was a vampire, she could choose to increase the health costs in exchange for removing mana costs.
