note: [unit_type]: id=Dwarvish Sentinel, race=dwarf [unit_type]: id=Dwarvish Masked Sentinel, race=dwarf
en: Champions among their fellow troops, the dwarven sentinels form the bulwark of their battle lines. Leading a direct assault against a line that they fortify, is often out of the question; it tends toward being suicidal, rather than merely ineffectual. These dwarves are masters of the melee, and can hold a patch of earth with the single-minded tenacity of an oak.

note: [unit_type]: id=Drake Arbiter, race=drake
en: Arbiters take their caste duty of enforcing order very seriously. In order to better execute their duties, they have abandoned the drakes’ traditional hand-mounted claws and traded their spears for the spike and blade of the halberd. In their minds, the loss of maneuverability is a fair price for the raw heft the massive metal head provides. The thick plate these drakes wear protects them well against weapons that could slip between their scales.

note: [unit_type]: id=Armageddon Drake, race=drake
en: Were it not for the armor they wear, certain drakes might be indistinguishable from true dragons, at least to the lesser races for whom dragons are but legend. The creatures known as ‘Armageddon Drakes’ are towering things, both immune to and possessed of a tremendous fire.

note: [unit_type]: id=Drake Blademaster, race=drake
en: Black armor marks the elite order of the Fighter caste: the Blademasters. Only a few manage to gain the skill and power necessary to be admitted to this highest rank without perishing in battle. Though other drakes may disparage the Fighter caste, they always check twice to be sure none are around; Blademasters fiercely protect their fellows’ honor, and no-one would dispute their right to do so.

note: [unit_type]: id=Drake Clasher, race=drake
en: The Clashers are members of a unique caste among the drakes. Their thick armor, while compensating for the drakes’ natural weakness against spears and arrows, is so heavy and restricting that they are not able to fly or muster enough breath to use their inner fire. They have embraced this handicap, completely encasing their wings to emphasize that they do not need flight to triumph in battle.
    
    This is also the only caste that is allowed to break taboo and fight with spears in addition to the drake’s traditional metal claws, which makes them particularly good at "resolving" territorial disputes with other drakes and enforcing the laws of their tribe.

note: [unit_type]: id=Drake Enforcer, race=drake
en: Not for Enforcers are the tactics of maneuver and deception; rather, they charge in wherever the melee is the fiercest. At close range, it matters little that their armor prevents them from spouting flame; all that matters is the power they’ve learned to focus in each strike. Drake leaders are careful not to besmirch the honor of the Enforcers, and generally call upon them to combat only the most pernicious of enemies.

note: [unit_type]: id=Drake Glider, race=drake
en: Many drakes enjoy the flow of air over scales, leading them to don the light robes of the Glider caste. The long forays to the far reaches of the tribal territory are their passion, though other drakes often wonder what could lead someone to take on the drudgery of hunting when more glory could be found on the battlefield.
    
    Most often, Gliders hunt larger game like deer, swine, or dolphins; the drakes’ ancestral ability to aim fire, hampered in other castes by armor, is invaluable for flushing and herding the quarry without harming it. If a Glider is called to the battlefield, he prefers to harass the enemy from a distance – and if all else fails, he will fight with his feet, keeping his precious wings as far from the enemy as possible.

note: [unit_type]: id=Inferno Drake, race=drake
en: Inferno Drakes are masters of the fire they breathe, respected and feared in their tribes nearly as much as the draconic ancestors themselves. They can prowl unharmed through a firestorm of their own creation, scales tinged red from extensive use of their inner flame, their sculpted red-gold armor enhancing the illusion that they are, in fact, dragons.

As leaders of the hunt, they are often away from their homes for long periods of time. Each tries to bring as much game home as possible, competing to gain the respect of their tribe.

note: [unit_type]: id=Drake Thrasher, race=drake
en: Instead of letting themselves be bound by their armor, Thrashers have learned to redirect its weight to supplement their bodies’ momentum, adding power to the blows of their short spears and hand-mounted claws. Equipment and body are one; even their thick helms and the thick skulls beneath them are weapons. A Thrasher will gladly fulfill his caste duties, as long as it can be done on the battlefield.

en: Wardens are set apart from the rest of the Clasher caste by two things: their ornate helms, modeled after their dragon ancestors, and the care with which they drape their armored wings in brightly colored cloth before reporting for duty. Though this mode of dress stems from the pride they feel for their role in drake society, it is far from ceremonial. Their cumbersome bronze plate is the strongest work from the Drake forges, and their halberds can cleave a human in half.

en: The Cataphract are eminent horsemen, amassing titles and accolades that are as distinguishing for them as the scrollwork on their armor. Having honed their skill with a lance in years of battle, the Cataphract are an unstoppable force of nature. Fleeing enemies swiftly discover that hills do not deter these riders in the slightest, and the displaced air of a descending mace is the last sound they hear.

note: [unit_type]: id=Dune Explorer, race=dunefolk
en: Explorers are often utilized as heavy scouts, no longer just probing the enemy but conducting raids on the supply lines or eliminating patrols. Often away from the main body of the army for long periods of time, Explorers have no issue pilfering these supplies, and so they tend to be more well-equipped than most.

Majestic at rest, a Piercer at the charge with lance in hand is often impetus enough to break men. On the rare occurrences that their charge fails to rout their foe, the Piercer ride into the resulting melee with their maces in hand, trusting their armor to keep them safe.

note: [unit_type]: id=Dune Ranger, race=dunefolk
en: Rangers are the elite of the Explorers, engaging in constant hit and run attacks against an enemy army. Nimble as a goat and strong as a ram, they prefer to coordinate multiple attacks at the same time, sending foes running from their arrows only to be cut down by their axes. Given their penchant for taking on only the most daring missions, Rangers are often heroes to the common troopers, an image they do not try to dissuade.

note: [unit_type]: id=Dune Rover, race=dunefolk
en: Rovers in many ways represent the ideal Dunefolk unit; flexible, mobile, equally effective in defense and offense as well as in ranged or close combat. They are most comfortable operating in terrain and environments common to them; the deserts and hills of their southern lands. Moreover they fight best at dawn or dusk, corresponding to the time when desert temperatures are the most reasonable.

Using only the equipment they carry, they can range for months around the forests and mountains looking for new seams of ore and deposits of minerals. Whilst their skill in a melee is less than some other dwarves, they are unmatched with throwing axes, having practiced this skill hunting in the mountains. Their maneuverability makes them dangerous and tricky foes.

note: [unit_type]: id=Dwarvish Scout, race=dwarf
en: Although the dwarves cannot match the taller races in a sprint, when unencumbered by heavy armor their tremendous stamina and endurance allows them to match all but the fastest on foot. Dwarvish Scouts use this to their advantage, ranging ahead of the main force and reporting back on troop movements and dispositions, or securing important objectives. Outside of battle, they are often used to relay messages between dwarvish communities. However, they pay for their speed with the poorer protection provided by their lighter armor.

note: [unit_type]: id=Elvish Avenger, race=elf
en: The curious name of the Elvish ‘Avengers’ comes from a tactic often employed by these master rangers. The enemy is allowed to break through a feint defense and when the vulnerable troops behind the front line follow, these archers break cover and attack, cutting supply lines and surrounding the enemy in one fell stroke. This has, at times, been interpreted as a form of vengeance for their brethren lost earlier in the battle. While not so base in design, it is not at all inaccurate.
    
    Even more than other elves, Avengers are a part of the realm of the forests, spending most of their time living among the arboreal creatures and learning the hidden secrets in the woods. As the keepers of nature, these elves have the propensity to explore the wilds even beyond the boundaries of the forests and are adept at traversing rough terrains like mountains and deserts. Even in such unfamiliar territories, Avengers are already powerful combatants; in their homes in the trees, they are nigh unassailable, capable of assassinating enemies from the shadows with little chance of retaliation. It is this ability which instills the most fear into any invading army, for fighting a force that can barely be tracked or seen in the forests leaves very little room for counterattack and customarily results in crushing defeat.

en: Elvish captains usually lead patrols and command garrisons that stand guard over the vast forests in elvish territory. Unlike leaders from other races, they are mostly proficient at navigating small skirmishes rather than large-scale battles, and are especially skilled at defensive maneuvering. Captains typically command small units that remain together for extended periods of time, allowing them to personally mentor and befriend their troops. They are often observed to lead through camaraderie and amicability, but still command great respect from their kin.

However, there are some elves who revel in the glory of battle and deliberately seek combat—purposeful or otherwise—for their own enjoyment. Naturally, most of these warriors live short lives devoted to honing their swordsmanship in an effort to conquer the battlegrounds: only the most talented thereof are capable of surviving constant combat and earning the title of ‘Champion’. Having spent their whole lives refining their prowess with the blade, these elves are exceptionally dangerous and should never be underestimated.

en: Among elves, swordplay is most commonly practiced by rangers and border patrols, who serve primarily as guardians of the forests and more occasionally as small squads for intrusions into other territories. Elvish swordsmanship is known for its emphasis on swift, agile strikes, generating less power than human or orcish warriors, but also leaving less time to react and counter. Most elves can learn the basics of swordplay relatively quickly and will readily pick up the blade when confronted with battle.

note: [unit_type]: id=Elvish Hero, race=elf
en: Accomplished Elvish warriors are sometimes called ‘Sárcan’, roughly meaning ‘one who has sacrificed in defense’ or ‘one transfigured by experience’. Often translated to ‘Elvish Heroes’ in the human tongue, this name does indicate some level of esteem and prestige, but is not used to glorify the position that these elves hold. Elvish Heroes are those who have survived numerous wars and have outlived many of their friends who fell in prior battles. They have seen all manner of atrocity committed by all races, be it orcs and humans ravaging the natural beauty of the forests, or even their own kind, other elves who are not above slaughtering innocent people out of pride and vengeance. Many years of fighting naturally make these swordsmen highly skilled in melee combat, but the hardships and destruction wrought by war take a great toll on both mind and body. While the Elves realize the necessity of military strength and honor the ‘Sárcanet’ as heroes for their service, such a status is not one often sought after by the majority of Elvenkind.

en: Elves have an intimate connection to the world of faerie, which innately imbues them with a small amount of magic and grants them highly acute senses. This, combined with years of hunting in the deep forests, makes the elves incredibly keen-sighted, a gift which contributes greatly to their mastery of the bow. An elf practiced at archery is capable of hitting a pinhole-sized target from hundreds of paces away and can shoot quickly and precisely enough to split falling branches. Of course, training the body to keep up with the eyes is no easy feat, and realizing this prodigious skill does come with the cost of weakness in close quarters.

en: Elves are not often the instigators of open war, but will not shy away when the time comes to do battle. Of course, blindly engaging in combat without any strategy or tactic is foolish, and so the elves maintain a small number of strategically-minded commanders at all times. Selected from the most talented captains, marshals undergo extensive training in various military styles, including those of the humans and orcs. They are brilliant, unorthodox strategists who excel at breaking down large battlefronts into smaller skirmishes, transforming ordinary campaigns into dispersed guerrilla warfare. Engaging elves in their own homes is always a daunting task for any invasion force, and it is precisely because of the skillful maneuvering of the marshals that manage the protection of their people.

note: [unit_type]: id=Elvish Scout, race=elf
en: Although the equines bred by the wood elves are much faster and far more agile than regular horses, they tend to be more fickle and harder to master. It takes many years to train an Elven pony, but once tamed, they are among the most loyal and devoted mounts. These unique horses allow Elvish horsemen to ride at extreme speeds through thick forests with nary a scratch and outpace most other cavalry on open ground. Though these riders possess some skill in wielding swords and bows, their greatest effectiveness comes from their ability to scout and outmaneuver enemy forces rather than engage in combat directly. Elvish scouts are most often used as messengers and support units and are adept at quickly transferring information between patrols and skirmish groups, whom they also reinforce when necessary.

It takes many years to train an Elven pony, but once tamed, they are among the most loyal and devoted mounts. These unique horses allow Elvish horsemen to ride at extreme speeds through thick forests with nary a scratch and outpace most other cavalry on open ground. Though these riders possess some skill in wielding swords and bows, their greatest effectiveness comes from their ability to scout and outmanoeuvre enemy forces rather than engage in combat directly. Elvish scouts are most often used as messengers and support units and are adept at quickly transferring information between patrols and skirmish groups, whom they also reinforce when necessary.

en: Though not a formal title, ‘Sharpshooter’ is the epithet given to the most gifted Elvish marksmen. These expert archers are capable of feats that, even by Elven standards, border on miraculous: they have the precision to split incoming arrows midair and can loose a second arrow before the first hits, all while maintaining enough power to damage steel armor. A single volley of their arrows is enough to bring down a knight on horseback, and even heavily-armored infantry will survive few additional shots. The sharpshooters of the elves have honed their art to its highest form and are the undisputed masters of archery.

    Merfolk often find themselves in a standoff with land-based enemies; the merfolk are too strong in the water, and are too weak to make any offense on land. Nets are a key bit of leverage; without nets, merfolk cannot give any effective chase over land, and are at a great disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat.

en: Fishing, as practiced by merfolk, is largely a matter of chasing schools of fish into waiting nets, where oar-like clubs are used to dispatch the prey. The improvisation of using these against soldiers proved very effective; most land-native creatures are already quite awkward when waist-deep in water, and getting caught in a net can render them nearly helpless.
    
    The effectiveness of this method led to the development of smaller, weighted nets, which could be cast through the air; these were useless for fishing, but were useful both in combat and in hunting game that came too close to shore. Clubs were used in combat with little or no adaptation from fishing, since they were already quite deadly.

However, even in a juvenile state, these scorpions can deliver deadly stings and are faster than most men. What's worse is that they can live in rather large nests, and angering a seemingly lone scorpion can lead to swarms of them crawling up from the ground — quickly turning the hunter into the hunted.
