"You owe me your living,
Strew my path with furs,
That I may tread barefoot through your soul,
Carve a throne of black obsidian in your heart
That I might be seated in the midst of your desires.
I will take your gold rings, your silver chains
Your crowns, your crosses.
...Your Soul.
The pain and damnation shall consume you,
'fore I take your soul..
of course, I can offer your reprieve, for a price.
Swim with the firstborn, embrace the dark. Enter the madness."

Clerics draw their powers from gods both devout, indifferent, and malign. Magi draw their power from the ethereal bonds between all life and matter. The Nephandi draw their powers from the Void that lies within the heart of men. They serve Infernal masters who condemn this world to ruin and waste. The Darkness of the Void swirled before the sun burned bright and will continue to swirl once the Sun is extinguished. The demons and the devils of the Void thirst for the end of Light. Their servants, the Nephandi, seek to hasten the End Times through the spread of depravity, temptation and corruption. Nephandi who forsake their Infernal Master renounce the source of their power. They possess only the base skill of a hedge magician and are too poorly skilled to defend themselves solely with the martial arts. Few Nephandi renounce the Path of Screams and maintain their evil alignment through the slaughter and corruption of innocence. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> The Nephandi relies mainly on wits and intelligence to deal with the Infernal. Failing this, the Nephandi must be prepared to deal in deceit or flee, hence a propensity to be dexterous. Forsaking the powers of the Gods and receiving little unsolicited aid from their Masters, Nephandi tend to be unlucky. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Nephandi are debauched members of the Human, Pixie, Gith, and Drow race. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> The Nephandi were introduced to the Realms through Jade. Through a twisted pact with an unknown Power, their abilities have been altered and magnified. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Bladesingers are the result of years of training and dedication in the art of swordplay. Bladesingers rely on edged weapons for combat, eschewing other weapons as inferior. Fanatical devotion to this form of combat creates a magical bond between blademaster and weapon. The Bladesinger may infuse his weapon with powers beyond the ken of normal warriors. In order to keep their disciplines honed, Bladesingers only follow the deadly path. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> The swordplay training of Bladesingers develops their dexterity to unimaginable levels. However, a strong blade in a weak hand is useless. As such, the Bladesinger's physical regimen also requires exceptional strength. The strict discipline and training of a Bladesinger leaves no room for chance. They do not believe in luck. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> A majority of the races are able to train as Bladesingers. Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Half-Ogres, Half-Trolls, Half-Orcs, Half-Elves, Gith, and Drow may all choose to become Bladesingers. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
VAMPIRE VAMPIRES . <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
No one holds command over me.
No man.
No God.
No Prince.
What is a claim of age for ones who are immortal?
What is a claim of power for ones who defy death?
Call your damnable hunt.
We shall see who I drag screaming to Hell with me.
Gunter Dorn, Das Ungeheuer Darin

Vampirism, in most legend, is a curse bestowed upon one individual by another already damned to exist as a Vampire. Vampirism in the Realms appears to be a curse of creation, for all those who subsist on blood are born to their existence. Fed and nurtured with blood, the Vampire learns early in unlife the ways of the predator. While a Vampire may drink from blood on the ground, such cool and congealed sustenance does not compare to warm and rich life stolen from the veins of a victim and stored within the Vampire. It is measured in blood points (bp). These blood points may be expended in the casting of spells or the use of vampiric abilities. A severely wounded Vampire will also intuitively draw on the power of the blood to heal themselves during battle. A Vampire will also instantaneously expend blood to remain functional during the daylight hours. No such expenditure is needed in the evening hours. During the twilight, a Vampire also gains a bonus to their armor class and the ability to transport themselves through mist once they are sufficiently skilled. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Fueled by the powers of their blood and the might of their inner Beast, a Vampire is amazingly quick and agile. Dexterity is their prime trait. However, their immortality affords them the ability to improve their mental attributes over time. This natural intelligence is a useful secondary attribute for the Vampire. Unlike other classes, the power of the blood enhances every attribute a Vampire possesses. A Vampire is deficient in neither mind nor body. Vampires are unduly affected by holy power, but resistant to unholy powers. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> The curse of eternal life may be levied on Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, Half-Ogres, Half-Orcs, Half-Trolls, Half-Elves, Gith, and Drow. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
FATHOMER FATHOMERS . <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking, And the gray mist on the sea's face and a gray dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied.
John Masefield, Sea Fever
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Conquerors of many seas and ships, Fathomers are adepts at both battle tactics and the realm of storms. Having spent so much time at sea, they tend to lead solitary lives. Through the many raids they lead and take part in, Fathomers quickly learn the art of war. The nature of their pirate descent keeps them mostly on the defensive. However, as the Fathomer grows in age and experience, they become adepts with the elements of water. While they also have a limited ability to manipulate air, it becomes twofold when coupled with their reign over the oceans and seas. Stealthy yet bright, Fathomers not only evade most attackers, but are also quick to assail from shadows or feign their movements. Having spent so much time at sea to advance in their arts, Fathomers are limited to medium sized races with sturdy frames. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Forced to contend with rough seas and thin yardarms, Fathomers are often well balanced and nimble. Dexterity is the foremost requisite of those who ply the seas. However, the Fathomer is not as base as his scurvy pirate ancestors. The Fathomer is adept at manipulating the water and wind. In order to maintain their repertoire of spells, a Fathomer must possess a keen intellect and be sure to never neglect his intelligence. Due to poor conditions and the hardships of a life at sea, Fathomers are often in ill health and lack in constitution. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> The seas teach their song to Humans, Half-Elves, Gith and Sea-Elves. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
BARBARIAN BARBARIANS . <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
The question is not whether we will die,
but how we will live.
Joan Borysenko
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
A beast who is idle will not long survive. A beast that takes more than it needs to live will soon find it has wasted what it needed to survive. The barbarians, who live as the beast does, know this as fact. They fail to comprehend how the towndwellers, with their bizarre magics and supposed book-wisdom, can not understand. To the barbarians, the decadence and selfishness of the towndwellers seems foolish. A life where the best interest of the individual surpasses the survival of the tribe is unthinkable. Though towndwellers would consider the barbarian life uncivilized and crude, it is a simpler way of life based on tradition, honor and duty to the spirits. The strength, courage and hardiness of the barbarian is honored only when it serves these beliefs. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Barbarians live in a daily struggle for survival. Strength is their foremost requirement, but constitution to endure long hunts and harsh living is a close second. Barbarians do not waste their time on idle pursuits like study and are deficient in intelligence as a result. As such they are unable to read or recite scrolls. Their superstitions concerning magicks render them highly susceptible to spellcasters and unable to use magic items. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> The hardiness required for the barbarian life allows Humans, Half-Elves Half-Orcs, Half-Trolls, Half-Ogres and Dwarves to follow this lifestyle. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
RANGER . <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
"I wander o'er green hills through dreamy valleys
And find a peace no other land could know
I hear the birds make music fit for angels
And watch the rivers laugh as they flow."
Richard Farrelly, "Isle of Innisfree"
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
A Ranger is an outdoorsman and adventuresome spirit in a time of troubles. A self-sufficient person, the Ranger is adaptable and can survive in almost any locale. Skilled with weapons and able to utilize some of the finest armor available, a Ranger is physically skilled enough to take on most any foe. However, for especially hardy opponents, a Ranger also can cast many useful spells to both hinder his opponent and aid himself. From minor curative magicks to blinding his enemy, the Ranger is one of the classes most adept at surviving on its own. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> A Ranger typically travels light, but he has attained a strength equal to any Warrior if he should be required to carry more. Years spent surviving in the wilderness easily equal the strength training of a Warrior. A Ranger is served not only by his physical strength, but also his wisdom and knowledge of nature. Their solitary nature leaves little time for social skills among Rangers, and they are often seriously lacking in charisma. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> The way of the woods may be learned by Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, Pixies, and Half-Elves. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
DRUID DRUIDS . <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
"I believe in the way of an older law
When we used to dance to a different drum
And we are changing our ways
Yes we are taking on different roads
Tell me about the forest you once called home."
Dead Can Dance, "Tell Me About The Forest"
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
The Druid is a lover and protector of the natural land. Be it the forests full of centaurs and deer, the streams full of fish, or the bug-infested swamps, a Druid always strives to protect and preserve nature. Wielding spells drawn from the might of nature, druids are vigilant and dutiful. A Druid possesses spells capable of both healing and harming. They can soothe the pain of combat and provide sustenance for the weary. In times of combat they can quake the land and split the sky. The Shattering of the Realms, while devastating, has brought the druids more in tune with the world surrounding them. Their mastery of elemental skills has been greatly enhanced beyond their capacity in previous years. While not exponentially more powerful, the druids are certainly more diverse and stand ready to guard their shattered world. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> A Druid is blessed with wisdom to aid in wilderness survival. Survival does not owe solely to wits. A Druid must be strong in body as well as mind. Dwelling in the bowels of nature has made the Druid exceptionally hardy. They possess extraordinary constitution. However, their time spent in the woods among the creatures has done little for their social graces. Druids tend to be gruff, blunt and occasionally odoriferous. Charisma is not their strong point. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Nature teaches her lessons to Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Pixies, Half-Elves, Sea-Elves and Gnomes. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

HALF-OGRE HALFOGRE URUK'HAI |.|.|----------------------------------------------------------------|.|.| /././ Half-Ogres [Uruk'Hai] ..\ ..----------------------------------------------------------------/././ /././ ..\ ..\ The Half-Ogre is a result of forced breeding in the dark time /././ /././ with Humans, when pure-blooded Ogres were known for raping ..\ ..\ and looting Human villages.
