Men Among Gods

Within the Kingdom of Dremonia live the deceived humans. 

King Tymalthus Eldraz: Blessed by the gods, Tymalthus was lowered down from the heavens for all to see. With his compassionate and powerful nature, Tymalthus won the hearts of thousands across Mallencia. Worshiped and described as a god, Tymalthus was thought of as the savior of all Mallencia’s people. None was more respected than he. The day the divine ruler was slain by Knold, the Lord of Blood, has left a scar amongst all of Dremonia’s inhabitants… especially his children.  

King Zorick Eldraz: The first son of King Tymalthus, Zorick was next in line for the throne. The day his father was murdered, Zorick made a silent vow. A vow promising to do whatever it takes to achieve the goals his father failed to. From the moment Zorick held his father’s corpse in his arms, the young man stayed determined to conquer Mallencia, and never let anyone go against his rule, for that is what’s best for his people.   

Silvos Eldraz: The second son of King Tymalthus. Silvos was a loyal and renowned warrior beside his older brother, Zorick. Once his brother took the throne, they shared disagreements about what was best for Mallencia. Believing Zorick was corrupted by his own mind, Silvos explained his discontent. After an altercation, Silvos fled Dremonia. After years of being hunted by his older brother, he was finally found. Zorick received confirmation of his brother’s death, securing his permanent position of power. 

Queen Margret Eldraz: The first wife of Zorick Eldraz and mother to six of his children. Margret was greatly loved by her husband, children, and people of Dremonia. She was a beautiful woman with a nurturing soul. Upon her death on orders from Knold, Zorick and all of his children began their downward spiral toward misery and revenge. 

Queen Sorina Eldraz:  The second wife of Zorick Eldraz and mother to four of his children. Queen Sorina found herself handed to King Zorick by the king of Havenfall, her older brother, King Tybalt Noraster. Trapped in Dremonia and married to a king with a decaying psyche, Sorina wishes her life had taken a different path. The only love she contains is for her children, especially since they receive very little from their father.  

Okkin Eldraz: The second son of King Zorick and Queen Margret Eldraz. From his mere size, some speculate Okkin was descended from giants. No man in Dremonia has ever seemed more intimidating than him. After experiments conducted by his father, Okkin has achieved something no man ever has. Abilities to melt steel with his bare hands, thicker skin, and immense power. Okkin has become the perfect soldier for Zorick. However, behind the red burning eyes of the perfect soldier, is just a man wanting nothing more than to be a commoner, but cursed to serve by the duty of an Eldraz.   

Lucaria Eldraz: The second daughter of King Zorick and Queen Margret Eldraz. Everyday Lucaria peers out her window, looking over Dremonia and out into Mallencia. She wishes she could have a life outside the palace walls, but fears that day will never come. Zorick holds her inside the Eldraz Palace to ensure her safety, along with his own. If his enemies learned of what Lucaria can do, they would stop at nothing until she is in their clutches.  

Sammiel Eldraz: The fourth son of King Zorick Eldraz and Queen Marget. The day of Margret’s death, Sammiel happened to also be unfortunate enough to be caught in Knold’s plan. At a very young age, the Eldraz child never got to grow and become a unique specimen of Mallencia, like the rest of the dominant Eldraz children.  

Beatrice and Briana Eldraz: The first and second daughters of King Zorick and Queen Sorina. Twins at birth, Justine and Juliana learned to fight as a unit. The twins are a special and powerful duo, destroying enemy compounds and plundering troublesome territories. With each outing, the two seek their father’s approval. Even with their success, they rarely receive a loving gesture from him.  

Dakken Eldraz: The second son of King Zorick and Queen Sorina. Strong but emotional, the young warrior Dakken has won his fair share of battles. Outshined by his older half-brother Okkin, Dakken holds resentment towards him and most of his siblings. At only 20 years old, Dakken looks for war wherever he goes.  

Ebion Trillit, the Royal Sentinel: One of two of King Zorick’s royal sentinels, Ebion is tasked with being a commanding officer in his army. The weight of his king’s demands and expectations takes a toll on the sentinel, as he does not agree with all the decisions given to him. However he goes on and participates for one reason, the love he has for the king’s daughter, Lucaria.  

Simmot Rollen, the Royal Sentinel: One of two of King Zorick’s sentinels, Simmot is capable and willing to do whatever his king asks of him. He strongly believes Zorick is a rightful god and is doing everything he can to save his people.  

Within the Kingdom of Glades live the flourishing tree elves. 

King Charden Gladeheart: The first son of King Zorick and Queen Margret Eldraz. At his birth, Zorick was certain his child would become a powerful ruler. As he grew up Charden found his life within Dremonia stressful and taxing. Constant training, expectations, and abuse eventually turned Charden against his father. Upon his mother’s death he knew nothing would protect him from his father’s insanity. Even with the love Charden held for his siblings, he chose to flee his home, in search of a better life. After running across Mallencia, Charden found himself in Glades. Not too long after being accepted into their community, Charden fell in love with the princess of the kingdom, Salienna. Years go by and eventually, he marries Salienna and becomes king of Glades. Today they rule side by side, working to make Mallencia a better place for all.  

Queen Salienna Gladeheart: The current queen of Glades and wife to King Charden Gladeheart. Salienna’s family has ruled the Kingdom of Glades for generations. The love she has for the tree elves of Glades is unlike any ruler. Allowing her husband to take control of the military and diplomatic issues, Salienna chooses to be more involved in the domestic politics to be there for her kind.  

Princess Sepharia Gladeheart: The only child of King Charden and Queen Salienna Gladeheart. As one of the most compassionate individuals, Sepharia walks through the streets of Glades learning all she can about her people. Even as only half elf, Sepharia is loved by all the inhabitants of Glades, as her presence brings a smile to all those she comes across.  

Sir Lawrence: The head advisor to Charden Gladeheart, Lawrence has always been his most trusty companion. Whenever Charden needs a second opinion or a favor of any kind, Lawrence has and always will be there for him. 

Within the Kingdom of Mastos live the dwindling mastonians. 

King Utterack Stormfoot: King of Mastos during Blood War against Knold. Beloved king by all mastonians who are referred to as giants for their large size. After becoming surrounded and terrorized by Knold, Utterack had to back out of the Blood War which left Tymalthus and Dremonia vulnerable, leading to Knold’s raid and his death.  

King Ulrich Stormfoot: Son of King Utterack Stormfoot. Ulrich fought against the Eldraz during Zorick’s reign. He was forced into the war by Zorick, as the king of Dremonia seeks the death of all mastonians. Inevitably he fell to Zorick as the strength of the Eldraz overcame Ulrich and his people. Today, he sits in Zorick’s dungeon as his execution grows near.  

Prince Rackon Stormfoot: Son of King Ulrich Stormfoot. The sole survivor of the Stormfoot family. After watching King Zorick destroy his home, massacre his people, and kill his mother and sister, Rackon truly is alone. On the run, Rackon believes he has a sense of where to go and what to do. However, he is not certain on the best path to his goal. He will do whatever he can to save whatever remains of the mastonian race and achieve vengeance for his family.  

Within Knold’s castles lie the bloodthirsty vasgoths. 

Knold, The Lord of Blood: Knold’s origin is unknown to all, for he has been lurking in Mallencia for hundreds of years. He stands over six and a half feet tall, with massive bat-like wings, long sharp and unbreakable claws, long ears stretched to the back of his head, gray skin, a large head, and bright yellow eyes. With a single bite, Knold can infect anyone with his curse, transforming them into one of his children. If the vasgoth gene is accepted, the victim will turn into an ascendant, as they grow claws and fangs. Knold, along with all vasgoths, must consume flesh and blood to survive. The feeling is more powerful and euphoric than any drug. Knold’s army typically willingly serves as they are grateful for the power he has given them. Along with his ability to turn anyone into a vasgoth, he also can telepathically communicate with any being. While his motives are uncertain, Knold never allows any ruler to become too powerful. He says, “Mallencia requires balance.” Whatever balance Knold seeks, he will do anything to achieve.  

Jace Eldraz: The third son of King Zorick and Queen Margret Eldraz. Angry and troubled from birth, Jace has always held resentment toward his father. He cared for his siblings and mother greatly as a child, but upon Margret’s death everything changed. The abuse from Zorick got worse toward Jace, and once Charden left, Jace was targeted even more. He eventually fled Dremonia as well. However, Jace ran down a much different path than his brother Charden. One that boils Zorick’s blood as he no longer sees Jace as his kin. 

Vurrack, former warrior of Redmaw tribe: One of two of Knold’s disciples. Vurrack is a large orc found in the plains of the Middle Lands. Knold noted his brutal fighting capability and watched him rise in his ranks. Today, Vurrack is trusted in ruling one of three of Knold’s castles, Castle Moark.  

Velcar: An ascendant woman who has proven herself as a renowned warrior inside Castle Veronica. She does her master’s bidding whenever he calls upon her. Her thirst for blood has made her vicious on the battlefield, as none has withstood her brutality.  

Within the Kingdom of Lykos live the skillful lykosians. 

King Rapho Daggenthaw: The proud ruler of the Kingdom of Lykos, King Daggenthaw is respected by all who encounter him. As a lykosian, he is much different than humans and elves and more closely related to wolves. The lykosians are humanoid wolf creatures who are very intelligent and just as capable as any other race. With the head, tail and claws of a wolf, lykosians are fierce warriors. King Daggenthaw has achieved being part of one of the four most powerful kingdoms in all of Mallencia with an impressive army of thousands of lykosians. With only losing one battle to the Lord of Blood himself, Rapho Daggenthaw has rarely known defeat.  

Prince Drit Daggenthaw: The only child of Rapho Daggethaw. After the queen died from giving birth to Drit, he only knew his father, Rapho, as being his caregiver. From a young pup, Drit has been trained to be just as cunning and skilled as his father before him. While having great respect for his father, Drit hopes to also become a great ruler of Lykos one day.  

Vargar Furcottel: A great general of the army of Lykos, Vargar is well respected throughout his kingdom. Unlike other lykosians, Vargar is a crossbreed between a lykosian and a human. His mother is a lykosian and his primary caregiver as he has never had a relationship with his father. Vargar, however, never let that tamper his spirit as he is one of the friendliest and also deadliest beings in Mallencia. Strangely enough, Vargar finds himself laughing while in the middle of combat, as he has fun in everything he does.  

Within the Kingdom of Havenfall lie the blinded humans. 

King Tybalt Noraster: An ally to King Zorick, Tybalt has become wealthy as he does Zorick’s bidding. While having his own kingdom, he would be nowhere without the Eldraz influence. Making a treaty with Zorick, Tybalt gave away his younger sister, Sorina, to be wed by Zorick in exchange for Zorick's daughter, Jadina, to marry him. Today, they rule the Kingdom of Havenfall together while also complying with all of Zorick’s demands.  

Jadina Eldraz: The first daughter of King Zorick and Queen Marget Eldraz. Jadina was trained at birth to become a warrior. Jadina always found herself to be able to combat anyone. As the little sister to three brothers, Jadina wanted nothing more than to be up to par with them. Today, she finds herself in a lifeless marriage she wished never began. But the extravagant life as a queen brings Jadina a sense of authority she always wanted.  

Within the Middle Lands of Mallencia lie the undesirables and commoners. 

Dice Thorenn: Living in a small village inside the Middle Lands, Dice has never traveled far outside his home. Orphaned as a child, Dice found a home with a loving man who lost his wife. Raised and trained inside the village of Cherrywood, Dice has come to love his tiny home and group of friends. Once something sneaks its way into Cherrywood, Dice’s world turns upside down as he finds himself thrown into a war he never asked to be a part of. Soon realizing what’s at stake, Dice will do anything in his power to stop Mallencia from being taken by those blinded by lies.  

Axle: A mysterious frost elf that never knows when to stop talking. Fueled by anger, Axle has traveled all across Mallencia seeking one target. He will do anything to find them. From a young age, he learned the tricks of thievery and the art of combat. Often referring to himself as the “greatest warrior in Mallencia,” Axle can be a bit too confident. Constantly arguing and on the brink of violent acts, Axle is a loose cannon no one asks for but can’t seem to get away from.  

Fenton Rothbottom: A simple man who loves nothing more than the art of butchery. As a heavy-set man, Fenton finds it difficult when any altercation or act of physical activity comes about. He is a happy-go-lucky man, spreading kindness wherever he goes. 

Sorokan Eldraz: The first son of King Zorick and Queen Sorina Eldraz. Disfigured at birth, Sorokan has never been accepted by his father. Zorick banished Sorokan as a child. He did not want his family’s name to be questioned by his heinous-looking child, so he sent young Sorokan out into the Middle Lands to die. Growing up on his own, Sorokan finds a home with a clan of orcs, in the compound of Grix. It does not take him long becoming their ruler, as he terrorizes the surrounding territory, feasting on orc and human flesh.  

Nora Roselynn: A woman fleeing the disastrous and corrupt state of Havenfall. Nora’s mother was known as a freedom fighter, who spoke out against Zorick’s rule, trying to open people's eyes. Once Jadina Eldraz got wind of what she was doing, she quickly put a stop to it. Nora had no choice but to leave her home, and seek shelter somewhere that was not completely blind by the horrific lies they were given.  

Karguk, chief of the Croth: A tall lanky orc, Karguk rules one of the deadliest orc tribes in Mallencia. His reign has been an ongoing struggle for both Lykos and Glades. They have had trouble not only defending themselves against them but also locating where they are coming from. Karguk has become a master of stealth and deception, and his reign seems as though it is only beginning.
