Sir Praxeus Braelon

Sir Praxeus Braelon was one of the Human heroes of Arkain.

## Background

One of the senior members of the Paladin Order, he was sent to fight and assist Kingdoms and later on, the Imperial Army in fights against Demon Legion and Orc Clans, in part of the Paladin Order. When Salomar the Healer died, he was given the task of helping the Paladin Order rise up.

* Barrier
* Command Aura
* Resurrection

## Exclusive Items

* Armor of the Holy Bastion - Adds Armor by 15, and Health by 500 to the Hero.
* Old Amulet - Adds Strength, Agility and Intelligence by 3 and 200 Health to the Hero.

## Story

### Human Book

Unlike Salomar the Healer, he was a mounted warrior. He led the Paladin Order when the famous Paladin dies, commanding other Paladins to fight on mounts. It is unknown why did he abandon the Kingdoms and join Renald Van Durce and his Golden Guard, besides despising Gardon Bloodclaw's unholy skills.

He initially appeared during Renald's defense of the Purifier against Genethas and his Veterans of Voidwar/Human Slaves/Demon Legion attacks. He led the Paladins in supporting the Golden Guard while waiting for Marin to finish the Purifier.

Then, he was commanded by Renald to go to Hammerfall Dwarves base, and try to solicit help. They never failed, as the Dwarves are ready and more than willing to lend their hand on them, while insultingly rejecting Ironfist's offer, for reason of preventing the fate the Elves fell when Gardon installed the Elven Queen. Zarin and Praxeus defeated the Lords of Coal, Progaderas the Smoking and his Fire Golems, and the Orc Clan Goldaxe Clan.

He then defended the position against Ironfist/Knights of Kome/Elven Army/Seabright's Elite/Royal Army and Undead Nexus. Depending on your choice, either they defeat Gardon, or fall alongside Golden Guard/Hammerfall.

If you chose the latter, they will use the Purifier against Demon Legion, Tribal Dominion and Undead Nexus Bonelords. Then, the final crusade against the Empire is on the horizon. They prepared a fleet by defeating the Imperial Navy and Marine Corps on the coast.

### Orc Book

He has forces joined the Golden Guard, he has full command of the Order, should Salomar the Healer dies, but half of it if Salomar survived the final battle, as the Paladin never supported the Bastion. He died at the hands of Amari and the Tribal Dominion.
Councilor Birram

Councilor Birram is a Human hero in Arkain.

## Description

No record can be found about Birram or his past, which led to several rumors about him being a renegade mage. These rumors grow into claims that the kind of knowledge the scholar tampered with was of rather dark and unknown nature, the kind of forbidden knowledge that should not be used. He first appeared on the very day Gardon Bloodclaw was made general. Birram was his generals' advisor on all magical matters from the very beginning and fiercely loyal. Despite appearing to be a mage of great power, Birram had always prefered to serve as Gardons' advisor rather than serve him in battle - and Gardon had Birram be part of his personal council since the very beginning of said council.

## Background

Being Gardon Bloodclaw's envoy and counsel, he amassed a clout of followers. Maybe he was a former member of Order of the Flame, due to his followers majority of them, Firemages.

## Story

### Human Book

He was initially seen when he and his Firemages try to dispel the barrier Lady Riana set up, killing the mages due to ricochets. Gardon Bloodclaw asks him why it is taking so long, replying that Lady Riana made it strong, making Gardon decide to attack the Elven Mage.

Then, he reappeared, as an envoy with Ironfist guards to Hammerfall territory, offering his lord's assistance in fighting Lords of Coal and Goldaxe Clan. Zarin Hammerfall declined it, instead, accepting Sir Praxeus Braelon and Golden Guard's offers, and out of respect, he let the councilor go.

He was also present during Gardon's preparation to his wedding with Vail.

### Orc Book

He initially appeared near the Dark Troll village, ensnaring and enslaving a Dark Troll Hunter, then left the area to Ironfist and the thralls. Offscreen, he offered Taray something he cannot resist: the revival of the Order of the Lightning.
Bonelords

Bonelords were 3 Undead heroes in Arkain.

## Background

The Bonelords's history are unknown, and quite mysterious, later on revealed that they were rebellious Arkainian priests alongside Krom the Immortal, who died when they decided to not join the War for their Gods' sake. Aridon the Watcher reanimated these men to oversee his growing Undead Nexus.

The Three Bonelords, Rogthil, Sha'thar and Kasresh, are said to have served Aridon for as long as Krom has. When their master Aridon had fought against his powerful enemies, they were slain in combat while Krom and Aridon barely managed to survive. Instead of leaving their remains behind, Aridon had them carried into the vaults of the Dead Mountain, sealing their dead remains away until he would have need of them again. While being three different entities, the three barely split, one never far from the other. They are capable of raising gigantic armies within mere seconds, relying heavily on their Bone Army, an endless stream of skeletons.

## Story

### Human Book

They try to eliminate the Purificator that either Golden Guard/Ironfist defends while eliminating others like Demon Legion and Tribal Dominion doing the same. They were disintegrated by the cannon shot, but not killed, as they were "immortal".

### Orc Book

They attacked Daric's Mercenaries/Salrian Army/Imperial Army/Royal Army/Imperial Regiments and Tribal Dominion/Orc Clans. Amari and Logan the Skirmisher ceased fire, and focused on the Undead Nexus and Pale Elves. They were defeated and disappeared once again.

## Battles

### Terror of Old

Blen and Harmos heeded the call of the Ironfist to investigate the corruption of the Pearl of Lor. They fought Demons, Undead Nexus, Corrupted Beasts, Forgotten and even dueled with a Eredar named Lord Margazar.

Then Gardon blew that Genethas is a Demon Slave, taking them to his hidden base.

### The Bleeding

Second Undead Book

Second Undead Book are series of quests in Arkain, focusing on Undead. Ornasion is the main focus of the story, also the shortest book in the trilogy.

## Synopsis

After sealing Ornasion or activating the spell after the big battle, the Undead retreated towards Dead Mountain. The Demons under Kersidar besieged the Dead Mountain.

## Plot

### Siege of Dead Mountain

The Demons under Urshan were tasked by Isilion to pressure the Undead defenders in the Mountain. Ornasion took the task of repelling the Demonic threat and defended the Splecir Nexus base, despite lack of defensive towers. He then defeated the Demons and their Slaves. He reanimated Urshan and told them the Demon's plan in Aridon the Watcher's place.

### Dark Depths

The duo of Ornasion and Haran'tel-kazor was tasked by the Watcher to retrieve an artifact deep under the Dead Mountain. They arrived at a forward base, but not under their control. They cleared the way of enemies like Spiders, Sludges and eventually, Cave Orcs. Then, Rahandir Drakeskull arrived with forces and built several bases. His forces pressured the Cave Orcs, while the duo destroyed the outpost, Rahandir sending reinforcements periodically. Then they pushed through and defeated the main Cave Orc base. The duo then were welcomed by Sister Pentiss.

### Elves of the Deep

Sister Pentiss presents the duo to Mistress Quiraness. The duo spouted insults, and despite the latter ordering the former's arrest, but the Sisterhood declined. The trio then destroyed Soryena's forces and Quiraness' allies, killed the Priestesses and unpinned the Undead Nexus reinforcements.  Sister Pentiss captured Soryena, but spared her.

### A Matter of Faith

Mistress Quiraness and her followers and allies are holed up in her fortress. Also in the area, Cave Orcs and Sludges are in the area. The trio had a choice: Ornasion's plan by besieging the fortress, or Pentiss' plan by harvesting enough Lumber and Black Lotus. Also, they have the choice of killing the Ancient Sludge, or leaving it alone. Either Quiraness were forced to be enslaved, or be overdosed by Black Lotus.

### Hunter and Prey

Krom the Immortal and Lady Meya were tasked to stop the Demonic diversionary attack on Salria. Surrounded by both Golden Guard and Stonelord bases around them, they abducted the Saint Loraine with Sir Ross doing the deed, provoking the mortals to fight the Demons. They either dodged the bases, or destroyed all the bases, then faced the Demons. They defeated the Demons and killed Isilion.

## Aftermath

### Vision of the Future

Aridon was alone in his room, trying to find out what is wrong, when a voice mocked him. It is Tregakh the Dark One, who has Largoth as his shell, mocking the Watcher and forced him to show the "truth".
Lord Veringar

Lord Veringar was an Undead hero in Arkain.

## Background

In life, Lord Veringar was a paladin who lived in the Kingdom of Lor and the third-born son of its king in the time shortly before the Voidwar. Despite his fathers' disapproval, he had joined the paladins in his youth and had quickly proven his worth to the order. When the Empire arrived, Veringar joined them in battle, fighting at their side to the borders of the lands of the Demons themselves. However, when the Humans were betrayed, Veringar was among those who had been slain in the ambush of the Demons. Like most others, his corpse was taken to the Dead Mountain by the Undead and he was raised again by Aridon, to fight the Demons once more. Veringar proved his worth to the Watcher of Arkain and was put in charge of several misions.

Veringar retrieved the artifacts.

Then, with Largoth, they built a fleet, destroying Deathbreeze Clan fleet and Imperial Naval fleets while defeating the Demon Legion scouts. But he was betrayed and killed by Largoth, along with all Undead present.

### True Story

King Gran Gorehowl

King Gran Gorehowl was a Gnoll leader in Arkain.

## Background

He was born from formerly indentured Gnoll slaves during Zyainor's time. They were independent and went to Gnoll Island sometime after Zyainor's collapse, and the Kingdoms rose. They lived on the island freely, their numbers multiplied rapidly, but retained Human customs and skills. Gran Gorehowl led these Gnolls to where they are now, and allied with Harpies, they enjoyed freedom.

## Story

### Orc Book

He was invited by Redfist and Imperial Regiments and Companies for a meeting, but instead, imprisoned him. Amari and Okri arrived, seeking for Gnoll's assistance in their struggle. The mage under Redfist offered their king's freedom, in exchange of killing the Orcs present. His right-hand man chose not to kill Amari, instead he begged her to rescue his King and free the Harpies under Redfist custody. She happily obliged, and raided the Redfist/Imperial Regiment base and he was freed alongside Harpies.

Zora herself appeared with Taray and Daric with Zora's Pirates/Imperial Regiments/Daric's Mercenaries attacked the Gnoll Island and forced a blockade. He sent harpies to assist Amari, and later Grella the Bonesplitter and One-Eye assisted her battle, but with terrible news, that Rangul was killed by Duke Volarian Redfist the Tyrant and Vanessa Redfist, and Sasrogarn claimed the leadership. He bade the new allies farewell, promising that he will send Gnolls to assist her.

Later, at the council after Amari killed Sasrogarn, he voted for Amari to be leader of the nascent Tribal Dominion.

### True Story

He appears in the story, but he was more skeptical and ever more cautious about trusting Amari. But he kept that criticism to himself and his followers, while maintaining the friendly attitude. He also had reservations about trusting Amari herself, as her words he seems had "poisonous" things on it.
Phoenix Regiment

The Phoenix Regiment is one of the Imperial Regiments.

## Description

*'"The Phoenix leaves nothing but ashes."'*

*While there are no "legends" about the past of the Phoenix Regiment, its natural choice of summoned creatures or how they had originally mastered the summoning of phoenixes to a point that had allowed them to call upon entire swarms of the creatures, the regiment has had an interesting tale of rise and fall in the Imperial history books. Many times, it had been said that the Phoenix Regiment had completely fallen in battle and was done for after having been sent into a battle they had no chance of winning. But then they would rise again and again - just like a phoenix from the ashes. Some whisper that the archmagi of the Phoenix Regiment had found a special method that would allow them to actually rise from the ashes after their death - like the phoenixes they summoned. If this was true, the Phoenix Regiment would not share this secret with anyone else, discarding it as nonsense and insisting that their skills - and, as they are willing to admit, nothing but sheer luck - is what kept them alive. Yet the rumors stayed. The phoenixes deployed by the Phoenix Regiment are not actual animals like some believe. They are all summoned creatures made of the purest essence of fire. Alongside its ordinary military force, the Phoenix Regiment possesses a large number of summoners who summon the beings far from the frontlines and then send them out to support their soldiers in battle. Interestingly enough, many of these summoners have never participated in a battle themselves which is a reason why they are* *kept far away from the frontlines, serving a similar purpose as engineers or other workers instead. Some are however powerful wizards who accompany their soldiers into battle - though their number is rather low, mostly due to the unwillingness of the Phoenix Regiment to endanger its valuable summoners that easily. Their power of their phoenixes, however, is unquestionable.*

## Story

### Orc Book

They were busy defending the lines against the Demonic invasion, while Daric's Mercenaries are busy hunting down Orc Clan stragglers. In one instance, they defend an area against the Demon invasion, and was looted by the Orcs.

Then they pushed through several Orc bases, namely Goldaxe Clan, Pillagers and Darkmind Clan. Then they assist the Imperial Army in securing the area. But there is another news, Gardon Bloodclaw sent an envoy to Blen, requesting assistance in Pearl of Lor. While Genethas wanted to hunt a Demon Commander. If you chose the former, Blen with Harmos will assist Gardon to investigate the area, battling mutants, Demons and killing Margazar, Undead and several Forgotten corrupting the fountain feeding the Pearl of Lor with water. Then they kill Raszal, the leader of the invasion force. After that, Gardon deduces and tells Harmos who the traitor is, that is Genethas and his Veterans of Voidwar. If you chose the latter, Genethas tells Blen to hunt down a Demon Commander with him. Disappointed, Genethas saw Aaron the Sacrificing, seemingly survived the onslaught of Derryn Outpost, but telling that Genethas was the traitor. Genethas just commanded Blen to kill him and destroy the mysterious Order that tarnishes his honor, fighting Goldaxe Clan, the Order of the Bleeding and more Demons along the way. Then he told that Gardon was the traitor.

Either way, Kasrkin was told to stand down and just give their factions weapons, all while holding down Ironthunder wyverns. Either Gardon captures Genethas, or the latter blows his secret after defeating the former.

After the incident, they retreated when Demons attack, retreating to Kerrel. But Dorten refuses help, as he has Royal Army. Golden Guard then appeared, arresting all Kasrkin members and Aedale for treason. Blen was tortured and killed. The remnants escaped with Aedale Redfist.

* Krom must survive.

Description: The Watcher of Arkain has spoken. It may not be possible to stop the invasion of the Orcs, but they can be delayed - in fact they HAVE TO be delayed, or else they could be a threat to the plans of the Undead. To achieve this, Aridon has sent Krom to throw the clans into turmoil by removing a number of their chieftains. The hunt is on.

## The Battle

Krom is alone in this mission, only assassination of chieftains is the objective. The minor Orc clans had their forces spread thin, with their chieftains lightly guarded. The objective was, had there not a single invulnerable Observer Wards scattered all over the clan bases. Krom continued his mission nonetheless. Ignoring other enemies guarding the clan bases, Krom kills the chieftains one by one. There are clans who had no chieftains, so Krom had to bypass them.

After he killed the 7, he had to go near the Blackrazor Clan chieftain, who was busy interrogating Ishzog, a preacher who raised a failed revolt against the chieftain, and imprisoned.

## Aftermath

Ishzog and the Blackrazor chieftain were bickering. After hearing enough, the latter left, but was shot by Krom. Afterwards, the skeleton assassin left the area stealthily.
Black Lotus

Black Lotus is a miscellaneous item on Arkain.

## Description

A plant with both stimulant and narcotic properties, this plant was only grown where giant mushrooms are growing. This mutual symbiosis made the research for it difficult, as the plant only grows where giant mushrooms are, and not just any place, it is grown just outside Mistress Quiraness's citadel, where plentiful of giant mushrooms grow.

The plant was researched well by the Sisterhood how to cultivate it without the help of the giant mushrooms. They used male Dark Elves, them being thralls by the feministic tribe, to plant and cultivate those precious plants.

The plant, after much process of refining, a crystalline substance was formed, which was the Black Lotus narcotic essence which the Sisterhood was addicted from.

## History

Mistress Quiraness, the former High Priestess of the Sisterhood, introduced this narcotic stimulant to the Sisterhood after she exposed some of them to this substance, after she took it from a male thrall. She intoxicated everyone on the Sisterhood, except, ironically, herself.

She encouraged the Sisterhood to research the substance and how to use it.

## Story

The Capital City has a research plant devoted to the cultivation and research of the substance, relying on male slaves to cultivate under the watchful eyes of the Sisterhood guards. It was shown during Elves of the Deep, guarded by both Aldera members and neutral Sisterhood guards.

In A Matter of Faith, Sister Pentiss had the idea to weaponise the narcotic substance, via creating the Peacemaker, a weapon that requires a very large amount of the substance as payload, and large amount of Lumber to build. She used it, over Ornasion's preferred way. The weapon activated, exploding upon the citadel where Mistress Quiraness and her followers were holed, exposing them to large amounts of it. The effects were both varied and devastating, as some victims died of overdose at first contact, and some reduced to euphoric mindless husks.
Demon Slaves

Demon Slaves were either cultists, forced to work, or willingly joined the Demon Legion. There is no known leader, but separate Humans, Dwarves and Elves leading fellows, or Demons leading them.

## History

Demon Slaves were found when the Demon Legions attacked both Arkain and Empire, enslaving countless people, cult members waiting for their demon lords to arrive, or thsoe who lived on the Demon lands. They were used as fodder, artifact hunters and frontliners in battlefields.

Mordin was buried next to his ancestors – and Zarin vowed that he would one day find the greenskin who had killed his brother and bring the creature to justice so that his brother might find peace in death. However Mordin's spirit was not ready to pass on. His brother needed him, his people needed him! And so the restless spirit screamed for a second chance, but his kin could not hear him.
