Factions
Knights
The Knights of Ashfeld are brash paragons of might.
They were sent by the Iron Legions to pacify the land. They've since acquired a taste for freedom and have made Ashfeld their home. They believe that many - if not all - of the ancient ruins that cover their lands were built by the Great Empire, the precursor of the Iron Legion.
Disorganized for centuries, Ashfeld's Knights have mostly been a collection of petty warlords and roving bands of mercenary knights. In the last decade, they have been corralled under a single banner, often at sword point, by Ashfeld's Blackstone Legion, led by Apollyon.
So far, the Knights have managed to defend Ashfeld from Vikings and Samurai attacks. Apollyon argues that a threat of war is imminent and tells stragglers that joining her Legion is the only guarantee they will hold onto their lands.
The Conquerors
Defensive Fighting Style | Highly Effective Defensive Mode
Conquerors are ex-prisoners and forced conscripts who have risen to the rank of elite soldier. They destabilize and overcome opponents through multiple defensive abilities and infinite attacks.
The Wardens
Adaptable fighting style | Straight-forward strategy
The Wardens are powerful, noble warriors dedicated to the defense of their land and their people. Wardens are jack-of-all-trade knights who roam the battlefield with their impressive longswords.
Samurai
History has not been kind to the Samurai.
Originally from a land far away across the seas, they tell a tale of an Emperor and a homeland lost to sea and fire. Nearly a millennium later, the nomadic nation has ceased its wandering and built a new empire near the reclaimed homelands of the Vikings and the contested lands of the Knights.
Having spent the last decades acclimating to the marshy hills known as the Myre, they flourish but remain vastly outnumbered by their neighbors. They have to rely on greater martial skill, cunning, and devotion to their culture in order to survive - for they may be the last of their kind.
The Orochi
Assassin fighting style | Counter-attacker
The Orochi are the Imperial assassins of the Samurai. They roam the battlefield like ghosts, terrorizing and slaughtering those unfortunate enough to cross their path. They offer a good mix of harassment and counter-attack abilities but require skill and timing to have an effective defense.
The Kensei
Adaptable fighting style | Good melee range
Kensei are the living incarnations of Bushidō, the samurai way of the warrior, or as close as one can get. They are slower than other units but have longer melee range.
Vikings
The Vikings vanished centuries ago, fleeing their crumbling homelands for shores unknown.
Those left behind were conquered by the Knights and assimilated into their cultures.
The Vikings returned in great numbers a few centuries ago. They came from far across the sea to where they have established a new homeland. They retuned for many reasons, but mostly to reclaim their ancient homeland in the North: Valkeinheim. Hundreds of Viking clans now coexist in relative peace in the frozen tundra. To the outside observer, however, they seem to exist in a state of perpetual civil war.
Vikings are the undisputed masters of the sea and fresh water. When this raucous nation gathers together in massive armadas of dragon-headed ships, they are fearsome to behold and nigh unstoppable.
The Berserkers
Harasser fighting style | Short-range fast attacks
Berserkers are chaotic and brutal dual-axe-wielding Vikings. Their savage love of combat strikes fear into the hearts of most, friend and foe alike. They combine close-combat harassing abilities and have infinite chain attacks that can be initiated many different ways.
The Raiders
Disabling fighting style | High-damage attacks
Fighting with heavy two-handed axes, Raiders are always found at the forefront of the Viking horde, hacking through enemies crazy enough to stand in their way. Raiders are the Viking's archetypal warriors.
Story Campaign
The Raider in the Story Campaign
The Raider is fearless, idealistic, and tired of seeing Vikings spill each other's blood. Though he is as bloodthirsty as other raiders, this exceptional warrior is driven with an immense desire to bring peace back among the Vikings. Whether by force, guile, or sheer determination, the Raider intends to bring the clans under a common goal.
