Beorn

## Lore

**When it comes** to defending one’s land, the Wild Elves are the most zealous guardians of their sacred forests. To date, no outsider can brag of ever breaking

through, and back out to tell the tale. While defending their lands, the Wild Elves fall into a rage, using their destructive magic, and exterminating offenders without mercy. Yet, not even that magic is considered strong enough by some Wild Elves.

**The thirst** to drown the building rage, and acquire even more unique and destructive abilities drives some to madness. Only a painful and dangerous ritual can satisfy this craving. In the Sacred Land, in the heart of the forest, such Elves call upon the sources of forest magic, turning into Servants of the Wildwoods. However, nothing is without a price, and such rituals can come with dire side effects.

**Since** it is uncommon for Elves to have the forest animal body parts, there have been occasions where they could completely turn into animals, adopting their key abilities of scent, hunting vision, or wild instincts. During these transformations, only a part of the mind was preserved from the original form; While in these state, Elves often attacked even their friends and neighbours in order to grab a new piece of land for themselves.

**The Servants** of the Wildwoods were viewed with esteem and honour by their race – prayers were offered to them, songs were composed about them, and they were showered with gifts. In fact, rumour has it that before the Druids intervention, Wild Elves even went as far as bringing bloody sacrifices to these summoners, fuelling their spirits with rage and strength.

Beorn is one such Servant, who survived his ritual and fully assumed the bear form. He uses his strongest magical abilities and his insatiable anger for bloodthirsty revenge on the offenders of the forest creatures – simple animals or rational Children of the Forest. Guarding the lands from strangers, he wanders alone in the most remote thickets, spending most of his time hunting down enemies.

The most sworn of all of Beorn's enemies are the Darkness creatures that originate in the twilight of the roots, the poisonous snake holes, and the muddy pools bottom. More than a hundred killed dark creatures can be accounted to the servant: he immediately appears and tears all the offenders to pieces if Children of the Forest are in danger. Yet despite his protection, it is very rare for ordinary forest dwellers to see Beorn. To many, the history of his existence is just a myth...

## Skills

The Children of the Forest protector and incredible leader — he hides weak allies, reduces enemy damage and avenges them with his merciless blows. Once an ally’s health is reduced to a minimum, Beorn becomes a killer monster. Thanks to Beorn’s leadership ability, an enemy who inflicted a fatal blow to one of the furry friends gains a vulnerability and thereby condemns himself to destruction.

Taunts enemies to attack only Beorn, ally Pride and Sabertooth, reducing their damage taken by 50%.

Beorn strikes the target 5 consecutive times. For each lost ally from the Children of the Forest faction, each Beorn’s blow deals increased damage to the enemy. With a certain chance for each of the allied Lucky, Tricky, Stealthy and Softy, the first successful Beorn’s blow imposes a negative effect on the enemy and increases the damage he receives. At the 7th ability level the attacked enemy can’t respond to Beorn with a counterattack.

Special “Bear Rage”ability is locked until Beorn is in “Berserker” mode. This is a hero mode, which he gets when the allied Lucky, Tricky, Stealthy or Softy health falls below a certain percentage of the maximum.

The speed of all allies of the Children of the Forest faction increases by a certain percentage, depending on the upgrade level of this ability. An enemy who has dealt a fatal blow to Lucky, Tricky, Softy and Stealthy can’t hide from attacks for a certain number of moves. This effect can’t be blocked with fortitude.
At 7th level the special ability timers of Lucky, Tricky, Softy and Stealthy decrease by a few moves until the end of the battle if Beorn dies. If Beorn is reborn, the effect of reducing the special abilities' timer stops.
