Why Did The War Start?
These texts were all written by me, I collected and analyzed all the needed information. If something's written wrong, tell me please, I appreciate all the help from the community.

Resistance
  Many centuries ago there was war, destruction and chaos, the Realm was divided and falling apart, but the Paladins, an ancient order of magical warriors led by the near-immortals Valera and Karne, united the Realm through fights and sacrifice, bringing an age of peace and prosperity, called the Golden Age.
  Since then, this organization disbanded, because there was no need for warriors anymore, so they left the Realm for the Magistrate. All went good so far, until their ideals started to conflict (it is told on Magistrate's lore below), and the Paladins came back led by Valera again, but this time without Karne, since he was the leader of the Magistrate. Paladins are now known as the Resistance.
  Now with new allies and ex-Magistrate soldiers that disagreed with Karne, they fight for their ideals, looking for the beginning of a new Era.

              Valera, the leader of the Resistance


Magistrate
  The Magistrate is a council of ex-Paladins and powerful magicians, led by Karne, one of the former leaders of the Paladins.
  Since the war ended, the Magistrate started to rule the Realm, keeping the peace for centuries.
  It all changed when something big was discovered about powerful crystals: it was a new form of magic crafted into them that rivaled the Magistrate's own power. Such discovery created a revolution in the Realm. Those crystals gave such limitless power, power enough to give energy to the cities (similar to electricity) and to construct machines to help the workers. The Magistrate was satisfied, it seemed everything was getting better until some people started to use the crystals for evil purposes.
  Since then, the Magistrate thought it was better to banish the magic of those crystals. For them, it wasn't meant to be in the common people's hands. Some people agreed, some other didn't, so a new war started, the Paladins came back as the Resistance and now both factions fight against each other.
  Now the Magistrate fights to bring back the peace like it was before the powered-crystals.

  Androxis was once a noble lawman of the Outer Tribunal circuit judges. He and his former partner, Lex, were relentless in their pursuit of criminals and threats to the natural order. After a tragic confrontation with a deceitful and claiming to be a goddess**, he became afflicted with an otherworldly disease, dooming him with an endless hunger for souls. Now he wanders the realm, adrift, in a never-ending quest to quell that hunger, stripped of his rank and duties with the Tribunal, and condemned to live with the curse for eternity.

 *Androxus is a former member of the Magistrate.
 **Could this be Seris? By analyzing Seris' voice lines, she says "It's been a while." and "The Abyss comes to collect!" when she kills Androxus.

  • Occupation: Front-line of the Magistrate
  • Health: 4500
  • Movement Speed: 345

  Ash made a name for herself in the Magistrate army by volunteering for front-line duty using experimental heavy armor and siege weaponry. Lacking finesse or subtlety, she more than makes up for it with brutal tactics and overkill. The War Machine, as she is called by her allies and enemies alike, earned the title every time the dust settles and she is all that remains on the scorched battlefield. When the Resistance emerged and brought the war to Crosswind Hold, Ash led the charge against them with fury and determination.

  There is no light in the future, only an all-consuming Darkness. The Realm is lost. Atlas will be born into this dark future as the son of a legendary Judge*. Each day he fights to survive, and each night he finds solace in stories of the Realm that used to be. These stories give Realm-kind hope, but their final stand against the Darkness will fail tragically. All hope will be lost… save for one last glimmer. In a desperate bid, Atlas studied old books of Crystal magic, and mastered the control of time. He researched old tales of what could have been the source of this destruction -- of how the world had fallen. And then Atlas stepped into the past, determined to save the Realm, and stop the Darkness, by changing the course of history itself.

 *The legendary judge is Lex.
Barik
Shotgun mechanic

  • Release Date: 17th November 2015
  • Damage Per Second: 480
  • Occupation: Mechanic
  • Health: 3400
  • Movement Speed: 360

  Long before he came to the Deepwerks and helped develop the crystal-powered technology spreading throughout the Realm, Barik was a clever inventor and resourceful engineer. Since then, his signature contributions have appeared in almost every field and vocation, from mechanized mining suits and rocket-powered wings, to the crystalline weapons used by Magistrate and Resistance soldiers alike. After a falling-out with the corrupt Magistrate commander** assigned to oversee the security of the Deepwerks, he left and pledged his services to Valera and the Resistance.

 *Barik used to work for both factions.
 **Could this be Vivian? She once worked at the Deepwerks and we can see she and Barik aren't properly friends by analyzing her voice lines... She also always has tricks up her sleeve.
Bomb King
How are bombs born?
  • Title: His Majesty

  • Occupation: King (or he thinks he is)
  • Health: 2200
  • Movement Speed: 380

  During a fortress siege long ago, a clever warlord decided that the best way to breach her enemy's defenses would be to create walking bombs. Her warlock accidentally brought one of the larger bombs to life, creating the Bomb King. After destroying her entire army by himself, Bomb King struck out on his own delusional quest to visit all the lands under his rule, which happened to be all of them. The common folk know better than to offend or even stand very close to him, as his regal demeanor can instantly change to furious, explosive rage at any moment.

What the Buck

  • Faction: Resistance*
  • Release Date: 17th November 2015
  • Damage Per Second: 889
  • Occupation: Soldier and monk
  • Health: 2300
  • Movement Speed: 385

  Buck's fighting style is informed by his diverse and complicated story, and is just as unique and esoteric. Pulling from his past experiences, he effectively combines the self-discipline of a devout monk, clever ambush tactics commonly used by underworld thugs, and the skills and weaponry of a front-line soldier into something more than the sum of its parts. Once a loyal member of an elite Magistrate unit, he has now returned to where it all began, Crosswind Hold, to join the Resistance in their struggle against the Magistrate.

  *Buck is a former member of the Magistrate and Thousand Hands Guild.

  • Health: 2200
  • Movement Speed: 380

  Watching all her friends leave the Greenwood to join the fight against the Magistrate, Cassie lamented the curse that bound her bloodline to her family's homeland. When advice from a mysterious oracle* offered her an escape from her obligations, she jumped at the chance, even though she knew the sacrifice she made would haunt her. Taking nothing but her father's enchanted crossbow and her faithful hunting bird, Zigs, she raced off to join the Resistance in their fight against the relentless Magistrate.

 *Possibly Seris, because she's also an oracle.
Corvus
  • Title: The Magistrate's Blade

  • Faction: Magistrate
  • Release Date: 29th April 2020
  • Damage Per Second: 1000
  • Occupation: Magistrate's Tactician
  • Health: 2200
  • Movement Speed: N/D

  The most difficult decisions test even the strongest of wills, but his will has never wavered, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. He is Corvus, The Magistrate’s Blade. He is the son of Karne, the powerful leader of the Magistrate, but it is by his own merit that he has earned the absolute loyalty of his men and instilled fear in his enemies.
  A charismatic leader and brilliant tactician, Corvus will stop at nothing to see his goals realized: a peace to surpass that of the Golden Age, under the Magistrate’s rule. With the near-limitless energy of the Abyss, bent to his iron will, and those soldiers still loyal to his vision of peace, he is doing what no other is capable of. By his own strength, the Resistance will fall, and peace will be forged for the Realm’s citizens, with or without their cooperation.

  • Movement Speed: N/D

  Admiral Judd Roberts ruled the eight oceans as as the Realm’s most-feared pirate, until one final treasure led to his doom. The admiral stole the Warders’ relics from the Resistance, but could not tame the dragons’ might. His ship was destroyed, his crew scattered, and he sank to certain death in the ocean’s depths. The Abyss intervened and bore the admiral -- now Admiral Dredge -- back into the Realm of the living. Now the undead pirate travels the seas again, and no soul, living or dead, will take his treasure from him.
Drogoz
Greedy dragon is actually

  • Release Date: 21st April 2016
  • Damage Per Second: 1000
  • Occupation: Destroyer
  • Health: 2200
  • Movement Speed: 360

  Born wingless as a mere wyrin underling to a vicious dragon, Drogoz escaped his servitude using a pair of crystal-fueled mechanical wings crafted by a clever dwarven engineer*. The draconic blood in his veins flowed with cruelty and greed, compelling him to continue on a Realm-wide rampage of destruction as he amassed his own hoard, one that will rival that of the true dragons. As the conflict between the Magistrate and the Resistance rages, Drogoz streaks through the sky above, swooping down to deal with his foes as quickly -- and as violently -- as possible.

 *Most likely made by Barik, because in his lore it mentions the rocket-powered wings.
Evie
Which Witch?
  • Title: The Winter Witch
  • Class: Flank
  • Faction: Resistance
  • Release Date: 3rd December 2015
  • Damage Per Second: 930
  • Occupation: Winter witch
  • Health: 1800
  • Movement Speed: 365

  After cleverly tricking and imprisoning a greater frost elemental in a magical gemstone, Evie went from apprentice sorceress to Winter Witch seemingly overnight. Though no longer welcome in her home village, which she left to an uncertain fate, she found her talents to be in high demand in the Resistance's conflict with the Magistrate. Though powerful, her true motivations are as mysterious as the exact details of her background, though, causing her allies to question her loyalty as well as how long she can really hope to keep the vengeful elemental contained.
Fernando
Who's face is too sexy to see?
  • Title: The Self-Appointed Knight

  • Faction: Magistrate
  • Release Date: 17th November 2015

  • Occupation: Knight
  • Health: 4600
  • Movement Speed: 360

  Though not of noble birth, and never having been formally trained, Fernando assumed the mantle of knighthood when the knight he served met an untimely fate. From that moment on, he wandered from one heroic adventure to the next, making a name for himself throughout the Realm. When the Magistrate called on all loyal houses to join them in their efforts against the Resistance, he heeded their summons with pride. If his valor in combat and charming confidence can keep his allies from discovering his closely-guarded secret, he might just live to become the champion he knows he can be.
Furia
  • Title: Angel of Vengeance

  Sarah prayed to the Eternal Pyre for the strength to fight the Abyss and to avenge her fallen sister*, cruelly sacrificed by the Magistrate. Her prayers were answered. She was saved from the Abyss and transformed into Furia: An avenging Angel of cleansing flame -- Pyre-incarnate. Now the former sisters stand opposed, each a vessel of otherworldly powers far beyond that of mere mortals.

  *Her fallen sister is Abby, which is now Seris.
Grohk
It sucks to be blue but...

  • Damage Per Second: 750
  • Occupation: Chieftain of the orcs
  • Health: 2200
  • Movement Speed: 365

  Being struck by lightning once is usually more than enough to kill someone, but after dozens of strikes, Grohk was still standing. Though it took a while to realize it, he had been imbued with the power to control the lightning itself, and he put it to good use defending his tribe from a goblin attack that would have otherwise destroyed them. Seeing his newfound power as a sign from the weather-spirits, the rest of the Red River orcs immediately appointed him their chieftain. With the clash of the Magistrate and Resistance escalating, he sensed a new storm of a different sort brewing and joined the battle on behalf of his tribe.
Grover
You just told me his secret but I'm already Grover it
  • Title: The Wild

  • Release Date: 11th February 2016
  • Damage Per Second: 833
  • Occupation: Protector of the Nature
  • Health: 2300
  • Movement Speed: 380

  The "soul of the forest" isn't some invisible spirit or comforting poem about being "one with nature", it's an angry, walking tree with a huge stone axe. After decades of peaceful slumber since the last time Grover had to walk the land -- to help put down the goblin scourge -- he has awakened once again to find the forests of the Realm threatened by the spread of humanoid civilizations, rampant industrialization, and the all-consuming fires of war. Hefting his trusty axe, he stomps into battle once again, intent on destroying anything and anyone who would harm the natural world.

  • Movement Speed: [?]

  Long ago, there was chaos and war. The dragons ruled the Realm, and everyone else was left to fight over the scraps. But one wise mage learned the dragons’ secrets. She became the first Warder, the first to command a dragon. It was that Warder’s actions that paved the way for the Paladins’ golden age of peace. The Warders were thought to be dead and gone, a relic of a bygone age. Yet, when a beacon was lit in their ancient homeland -- an alarm signal that the Warders, or what remained of them, were needed once again -- Imani answered that call. Little is known about the Last Warder’s past before she appeared in Dredge’s treasure trove to recover her stolen relics, but one thing is sure: she will uphold the legacy of her lineage, and stand against the darkness of the future looming over the Realm.
Inara
Lady stone hearted
  • Title: The Stone Warden

  • Release Date: 9th March 2017
  • Damage Per Second: 675
  • Occupation: Protector of the Nature
  • Health: 4700
  • Movement Speed: 355

  One of the few remaining stagalla, Inara was reluctant to join the Paladins in their time of need, but she was oath-bound to do so. Originally created to help the ancient order of the Paladins repel the first goblin scourge of goblin, the stone people slumbered for generations before being summoned to battle once again. Inara was slow to act, but after witnessing the savage acts committed by the Magistrate*, she threw herself into the fight on behalf of the Resistance, heeding the call of Valera and her Paladins once again.

  *One of the savage acts was the destruction of Terminus.

  • Damage Per Second: 667
  • Occupation: Moon Goddess
  • Health: 2200
  • Movement Speed: N/D

  For eons, the moon goddess Io watched over the Realm. Then, disaster struck: The Darkness smothered the goddess’s light and shattered the moon that hung above the lands. Pieces of the moon fell to the Shattered Desert, where Io’s faithful watched over them. They kept vigil for the shattered goddess, praying that one day she would return to guide them. As the Magistrate marched on the desert sands, intending to claim the moon shards in their vicious struggle with the Resistance, that day finally came. At the urging of her celestial contemporary, Jenos, Io revealed her true form to fight for her people and stand against those who would threaten their survival.

  • Damage Per Second: 923
  • Occupation: Monk and stars scholar
  • Health: 2200
  • Movement Speed: 365

  Jenos was merely a young monk in search of a greater wisdom, and a reprieve from the ravages of the Second Scourge, when he climbed that mountain many generations ago. He found his answer written among the stars, and ascended into the heavens to dedicate himself to it. He vanished for many years, leaving behind a small group of followers who were dedicated to carrying on his legacy in the Realm. Now, as the Realm descends into war once again, so too has Jenos descended from the stars to walk upon the ground once again, joining the battle for some arcane purpose only he understands.

  • Occupation: General and Lian's bodyguard
  • Health: 4000
  • Movement Speed: 350

  The Patriarch of House Aico issued a challenge to his captains: keep the house's banner upright for the longest amount of time. Men strong enough to toss lesser men across the battlefield tried, but few were strong enough to last even a day with the banner in-hand. The last captain to attempt the test, a young man named Khan, held the banner in his hands for hours. As his arms tired, he beckoned to a common servant and tasked her with taking the banner from him and keeping it upright. "Even though I must fail," he said, "the banner will remain." Thus he passed the test, for this was no test of strength, but one of loyalty to House Aico. Khan proved himself worthy of command with his actions that day. Today, he serves Lian as advisor and protector, a steadfast supporter of House Aico.

  • Occupation: Hitwoman
  • Health: 2100
  • Movement Speed: 360

  As a young recruit in the elite Sentinels, Kinessa took to her sniper lessons with an eagerness and enthusiasm that surprised her mentors. Frustrated by the rigors of military life, she left before she could complete her training and struck out on her own. As the Realm has descended into chaos and war, vigilante bounty contracts have been plentiful, earning her all the fame and fortune she'd lacked while in the service of the Magistrate. She still refuses to pick a side in the conflict, however, because there's much more to be made by playing both sides than by contracting with either.

 *Kinessa is a former member of the Magistrate.

The Guild became Koga’s new family and he became their finest ninja. But, not all families get along. Out of jealous, lies were spread and false evidence was planted. Zhin’s resulting fury forced Koga to flee. Now, the exiled ninja fights for his new family — the Resistance — as he searches for the one who betrayed him.

  • Health: 2200
  • Movement Speed: 395

  The Outer Tribunal is made up of merciless, oathbound judges, with none more dedicated than Lex. His partner, Androxus, and he traversed the outskirts of the Realm together, tracking down infamous criminals and battling all manner of horrors on behalf of the Magistrate and its people. After encountering a sinister figure claiming to be a goddess*, though, Androxus changed, abandoning his duties and quickly rising to the top of the most-wanted list. Lex, unable to turn his back on the law or his oaths to his partner, vowed to one day take his former friend in, dead or alive.

  *Just like in the note I added in Androxus' lore, this can be Seris.

  • Occupation: Noble of House Aico
  • Health: 2000
  • Movement Speed: 360

  After a successful ploy to set herself up as the legitimate heiress to the Ruby Throne, nothing stood in Lian's way. Her sincere dedication to her family's legacy may have earned her the title of Scion, but her skill with the rifle is what won her the respect of her family's Royal Guard*. When the Magistrate called on all loyal houses to unite against the Resistance, she was honor-bound to accept, arriving from her far-off homeland to represent House Aico along with her faithful bodyguard and general, Khan.

  *The family's Royal Guard is Khan.

  • Movement Speed: 385

  After making a name for herself as a skilled thief and knife-fighter, the half-tigron Maeve decided to join the war for personal gain, selling her services to the highest bidder. She dashes from shadow to shadow with unnatural agility, concealed by her magical longcoat -- a souvenir from one of her most daring burglaries: the Magistrate's fortress keep. While her employers find her talents useful, they often complain of suspiciously misplaced valuables and lost coins after she moves on to the next fight.

But with the greater threat in the Realm, he's taken to the land, to make sure those he protects have a home to return to. With him, he brings the ocean's fury and the tortoise's indomitable resilience, as well as various naval implements, to bear against those who would defile the natural world.

  • Movement Speed: 370

  When Wekono, the Mother of Sorrow and Revenge, turns her gaze to the mortal world, she appoints a champion. In this cycle, the island witchdoctor Mal'Damba has been gifted with her powers and sent into the war to evangelize her faith by laying waste to any who would stand before his goddess. His mastery of dark magic and virulent poisons was already impressive before the insidious goddess imbued him with even greater abilities, rendering him one of the deadliest beings in the Realm, an extension of Wekono's will.

Once the war is over and the Realm has returned to its natural state, she hopes to return to the forest and help her people begin the healing process and restore all that was lost.

  • Occupation: Alchemist
  • Health: 2200
  • Movement Speed: 360

  Unlike most other vulpin, Pip chose to specialize in weaponized explosives instead of curative alchemy. He left Brightmarsh, his homeland, in search of adventure across the Realm. Now, he splits his time between brewing up all sorts of fiery concoctions to use against the Magistrate's forces and creating restorative potions to aid his friends. While his allies have come to appreciate his assistance and expertise, they fully understand that the little fox is as unpredictable as his dangerous mixtures.

  • Damage Per Second: 800

  • Health: 4500
  • Movement Speed: N/D

  All tremble at the mere mention of his name. He is wrath. He is fury. He is Raum, Rage of the Abyss. Consumed by burning conflict, tempered in the Abyss, his purpose is clear — annihilation. He has fought and triumphed over every entity in those war-scarred plains, shattering every soul that stands against his might. Few remain who are still worthy of his attention, and their conflicts grow stale. Now, he finds himself summoned to the Realm, a fertile ground teeming with new victims whose souls are too well-connected to their bodies.

  • Movement Speed: 380

  While toiling in the gold mines, a particularly wily and inventive goblin named Ruckus stumbled upon the long-lost mind-stone of a fallen war-golem. He installed the relic into his mechanical digging suit, hoping it would provide the suit with enough power to outperform the other miners. He was quite surprised when the ancient sentience reawakened and brought the suit to life. Though it resented its situation, its pilot, and the name it was given, Bolt nonetheless agreed to a tentative partnership, one that freed them both to scour the Realm in search of fame, fortune, and upgrades.

  A being from beyond the void, Seris has taken the name of the city she completely destroyed upon first setting foot in the world of the living. Draining the souls of her enemies and occasionally restoring them to her allies, however, pales in comparison to her unnatural prescience, granting her the ability to see into the past and predict the future all at once. She appears here and there in time and space, always at the opportune moment to change the course of events toward some unknown but seemingly inevitable fate.

His smile belies his true nature

  • Occupation: Adventurer
  • Health: 2000
  • Movement Speed: 355

  Tales of the legendary adventurer Sha Lin have spread far and wide across the Realm, recounting his heroic exploits and death-defying antics. During his short lifetime, he's already helped topple warlords, recovered long-lost artifacts, and betrayed the infamous Thousand Hands Guild**. He's pierced as many hearts with his magical longbow as he has broken with his silver tongue, but even he has a stake in the current conflict between the Magistrate and the Resistance, standing up to the oppressive Magistrate on behalf of the common folk.

  *Sha Lin is a former member of the Thousand Hands Guild.
  **The Thousand Hands guild was created by Zhin.
Skye
The ears are fake
  • Title: The Twilight Assassin
  • Class: Flank
  • Faction: Magistrate*
  • Release Date: 17th November 2015
  • Damage Per Second: 1400
  • Occupation: Assassin
  • Health: 2000
  • Movement Speed: 365

  Noble by birth, Skye abandoned a life of luxury and wealth to pursue her dreams of excitement and adventure. During her time spent on the streets interacting with the criminal underworld** of the Realm, she discovered a natural talent and boundless passion for killing. When her career as a contract assassin brought her fame and fortune, she caught the Magistrate's attention, and now serves as one of Grand Magister Karne's closest advisors. To her, the War of the Realm is just a long-term contract, one that won't end until the last of the Resistance is dealt with.

  *Skye is a former member of the Thousand Hands Guild.
  **Referring to the Thousand Hands Guild.
Strix
What does he want from life?
  • Title: Ghost Feather
  • Class: Damage
  • Faction: Not-Aligned*

  • Damage Per Second: 1300
  • Occupation: Former trainer of the Magistrate, now a soldier of them
  • Health: 2100
  • Movement Speed: 340

  Having spent most of his life in the military, Strix was an invaluable member of the Sentinels, tasked with training their elite sharpshooters**. He was reassigned after the unit was disbanded, sent to the front lines with the regular army as it prepared to put down the Resistance. Always the calm and composed professional, he is the master of stealth and camouflage, able to pick off high-value targets before the enemy is even aware of his presence -- or that they are under attack at all.

 *He left the Magistrate after what Corvus did.
 **He was the trainer of Kinessa.
Talus
What a cute little guy
  • Title: of the Ska'drin
  • Class: Flank
  • Faction: Resistance
  • Release Date: 20th September 2017
  • Damage Per Second: 1100
  • Occupation: Fighter of the Ska'drin rights
  • Health: 1900
  • Movement Speed: 390

  Talus might still be young and overly-optimistic, but he's got big plans. After almost losing his family to an angry mob that refused to accept the otherworldly Ska'drin as neighbors, he set out on a quest for knowledge. From the shores of an abandoned island paradise to the darkened corridors of the Deepwerks, he uncovered forgotten truths and unlock his inborn aptitude. When the Resistance rose up to oppose the Magistrate, he joined them, eager to put his newfound abilities to work and prove that the Ska'drin deserve a place in the Realm.
Terminus
Rockman has a heart of purple
  • Title: The Fallen
  • Class: Front Line
  • Faction: Magistrate*
  • Release Date: 18th October 2017
  • Damage Per Second: 591
  • Occupation: Magistrate's weapon
  • Health: 4000
  • Movement Speed: 345

  Whatever Terminus once was, he has since become an instrument of war on behalf of the Magistrate**. His mind and memories are long gone, his broken body bound by dark sorcery and unstable magic crystals. His form, stuck somewhere bertween life and death, may be a mere shadow of his former self, but it has also rid him of hesitation and fear. He obediently charges into battle with reckless abandon, hefting a terrifying battle axe that few mortals could lift and even fewer could hope withstand.

 *Terminus is a former member of the Paladins.
 **Terminus was fighting side-by-side with Inara until he got destroyed by Ash.
Tiberius
  • Title: The Weapons Master
  • Class: Damage
  • Faction: Not-Aligned
  • Release Date: 8th Januray 2020
  • Damage Per Second: 928
  • Occupation: Fighter
  • Health: 2200
  • Movement Speed: N/D

  His is a tale of charm and daring — heroic feats backed by deadly prowess. A traveler of the Realm looking for worthy foes to test his mettle, sharpening his skills and weapons alike. Adored by the people, feared in battle — Tiberius, The Weapons-Master, knows no equal!
  Born of the Tigron, Tiberius is the pinnacle of their values. A dashing legend — bold, brash, and relentless — anointed by an ancient blade, destined for battles that are nothing short of legendary.
  With Chakrams, forged by the weapon-smiths of his ancestors; and a sword, forged from the heavens themselves — an ancient artifact capable of banishing unspeakable evils from this world — he is ready for any threat! Tiberius is exhilarated by the opportunity to match blades with a worthy foe. Snarling, he charges headlong into the fray, unleashing an unrelenting storm of steel, claw, and fang. En garde!
Torvald
Grandpa has a secret
  • Title: The Runic Sage
  • Class: Front Line
  • Faction: Magistrate
  • Release Date: 25th January 2017
  • Damage Per Second: 720
  • Occupation: Scholar and architect of crystal-powered technology
  • Health: 3000 + 2000 Shield
  • Movement Speed: 355

  As the ranking scholar and preeminent authority on runic lore at the Deepwerks facility, Torvald is one of the architects of the wave of crystal-powered technology sweeping across the Realm. Though he would much rather have his nose buried in a dusty old history tome or reach into a swirling vortex of magical energy using his enhanced stone gauntlet, he understands that the Magistrate is the driving force behind all his research and has joined their effort to put down the Resistance. Once the war is over, he can once more get back to work.
Tyra
What even is a gorlock?
  • Title: The Untamed
  • Class: Damage
  • Faction: Resistance*
  • Release Date: 20th December 2016
  • Damage Per Second: 1167
  • Occupation: Former soldier, now a hunter and beast slayer
  • Health: 2400
  • Movement Speed: 375

  Raised to shoot straight and survive the harsh winters of the frontier, Tyra signed on with the Magistrate army at a young age. After the Sentinels' disastrous final mission, she returned to her homeland to make a living tracking down the monstrous threats to the common folk that lurked beyond the fringes of the Realm. Her unyielding stamina and pinpoint accuracy with the rifle serve her well in her new role: helping the Resistance fight back against the Magistrate and bring an end to the war that rages across the Realm.

 *Tyra is a former member of the Magistrate.
Viktor
Why does he die so much?
  • Title: The Lone Wolf
  • Class: Damage
  • Faction: Magistrate
  • Release Date: 30th June 2016
  • Damage Per Second: 1350
  • Occupation: Soldier
  • Health: 2200
  • Movement Speed: 370

  The former commander of the Sentinels, an elite Magistrate military unit, Viktor lives in the shadow of his former glory. He took the blame for what happened during their final mission, was stripped of his rank, and reassigned to a lower position by Grand Magister Karne. Though disgraced, his training and skill as a soldier remains unmatched, along with his unwavering loyalty to the Magistrate. Determined to regain his standing, he pushes himself well beyond his limits in battle against the Resistance, striving to end the rebellion before the conflict truly rages out of control.
Vivian
Vivian, Vivian, can I compare you to a winter's day?
  • Title: The Cunning
  • Class: Damage
  • Faction: Magistrate
  • Release Date: 15th November 2017
  • Damage Per Second: 1429
  • Occupation: Ambitious scholar and planner
  • Health: 2200
  • Movement Speed: 375

  Rapidly rising through the ranks of the Magistrate, Vivian's clever, persistent scheming got her appointed to the Deepwerks facility, where she was the first to recognize the military potential of the research they were conducting. In the swirling chaos of the war with the Resistance, she sees only the opportunity to advance her station in life. Equipped with some of the most advanced crystal-powered weaponry ever created, she joins the battle not to prove herself or to follow orders, but to find and silence the lone witness of her true plans*.

  *By analysing her voice lines and Barik's lore, it's possible that the witness was Barik.
Vora
  • Title: The Harbinger
  • Class: Flank
  • Faction: Darkness
  • Release Date: Coming soon
  • Damage Per Second: 857
  • Occupation: Darkness harbinger
  • Health: 2000
  • Movement Speed: N/D

  Her entire life was once devoted to Io, the Moon Goddess. She was a member of a martial order tasked with protecting ancient seals, but even they did not know the extent of the chaos beneath. Betrayed by her Goddess and alone in an uncaring world, she has chosen to embrace that chaos. The Realm is on the path of self-destruction, and if that is what it desires, she is more than happy to oblige. Those who dread her coming are those who have any knowledge of the workings of the world beyond their own lives, for she is Vora, Harbinger of the End of the Realm, and they are not prepared.
Willo
What do Faeries eat?
  • Title: of the Summer Court
  • Class: Damage
  • Faction: Not-Aligned
  • Release Date: 3rd May 2017
  • Damage Per Second: 667
  • Occupation: Fighter of the Faeries
  • Health: 2200
  • Movement Speed: 375

  Though short-lived and even-tempered, the faeries of the Summer Court wage an endless war against the encroachment of modern civilization. Willo might only have three summers to her name, but her aggressive demeanor more than make up for her lack of experience. She charges into the fray with an eagerness and tenacity that worries the precious few remaining faeries. At a time when the fae should be regrouping to bolster their dwindling numbers, Willo has taken it upon herself to take arms against both the Magistrate and the Resistance.
Ying
Ying is heartless
  • Title: The Blossom
  • Class: Support
  • Faction: Resistance
  • Release Date: 7th April 2016
  • Damage Per Second: 900
  • Occupation: Spellcaster of illusions
  • Health: 2200
  • Movement Speed: 370

  A talented young spellcaster, Ying is a master of illusions and trickery, able to befuddle her opponents with bewildering misdirection. That same magic can also soothe the minds of her allies to ease their suffering and mend their wounds. She made good use of those skills to escape imprisonment by a bandit king* and during her time spent as an adventurer afterward. When the Magistrate began its campaign of conquest, subjugating the Realm in an attempt to restrict the use of magic by the common folk, she felt it was her responsibility to join the fight against their oppression.

 *Very possibly, the bandit king is Zhin.
Zhin
Zhin is an artist
  • Title: The Tyrant
  • Class: Flank
  • Faction: Thousand Hands Guild
  • Release Date: 14th June 2017
  • Damage Per Second: 750
  • Occupation: Leader of the Thousand Hands guild
  • Health: 2000
  • Movement Speed: 390

  Robbed of his noble lineage*, Zhin ruthlessly carved out his own throne atop the criminal underworld. By the time he was a man, he'd won the loyalty of enough thieves, assassins, and corrupt bureaucrats to build his own shadowy empire: the Thousand Hands guild. Anyone scheming against him has a tendency to vanish in the middle of the night, while those who confront him directly meet their doom at the end of his wicked flaming sword. He refuses to pick a side in the war, as there's more profit to be made playing them against each other.

  *Theories say that this was done by Lian's plans.

Absolutely great job!
linncod 16 Aug, 2018 @ 8:16am 
Oof, given the cold shoulder. This is pretty cool though, all this lore.
COWZYOV 25 Jun, 2018 @ 8:33pm 
Thing is, I still don’t get how you can say some characters are inherently evil. I can understand in some cases like Seris. What about Pip, Drogoz, Ruckus and Kinessa for example? The way I see it, you consider Pip and Drogoz to be evil just because they fight for fortune, not for an actual cause they’re devoting they’re lives to. What about Ruckus and Kinessa? Theyre also mercenaries; why aren’t they evil?

Same goes for “good” vs “neutral”; for example, why is Talus “good” while Viktor is just “neutral”?
Yang Xiao Lesbian  [author] 25 Jun, 2018 @ 6:26pm 
Had little discussions with friends, analyzed their lores and voice lines and also had a little help from this picture that a friend sent to me https://imgur.com/a/kd6xv
COWZYOV 25 Jun, 2018 @ 1:09pm 
How do you decide which champions are good, neutral, or evil?
