The Betrayers
They are a group of individuals who chose
the path of betrayal, forsaking their
countrymen in the lands of Herja.
They hail from various Herja kingdoms, but for reasons ranging
from ambition to desperation, they betrayed their homelands
and joined the ranks of the Disciples. There are quite many of
them, so I am sure I will not cover all the groups you can find
there, but let me talk about a few of the most famous ones.
Kala the Fallen Queen. Kala, the late queen of one of the Herja
kingdoms, mysteriously disappeared before the onslaught of the
Disciples. Her motivations for siding with the enemy remain
unclear. Her choice might have been driven by a desire to protect
her people or, perhaps, her ambitions and thirst for power led
her down this treacherous path.
The Corrupted Mages. Many young and brilliant mages with
a thirst for power found themselves ensnared by the temptations
of Chaos. Eager to wield dark magic and attain unimaginable
might, they fell victim to the allure of the Disciples. As they delved
deeper into the forbidden arcane, their once noble intentions
twisted into malevolence. They wield the dark arts with an
understanding of both the destructive and the manipulative
aspects of magic. Their combat strategies are often characterized
by an amalgamation of spells from both their previous countries
and the ones they learned from their new friends—curses and
strange enchantments. Overall, it makes them unpredictable
and deadly on the battlefield.
The Corrupted Knights. They were once honorable knights
from distant realms, but corruption swallowed their souls.
Now, they serve the darkness they once fought. Endowed with
tactical and battle experience, they often act as the commanders
of the Goborc Troopers, complementing the mages' and Kala's
destructive powers with strategic brilliance on the battlefield.
When they need to fight, they become impenetrable shields for
the marching troops, making it close to impossible to penetrate
their frontlines.
Goborc Troopers. Their ranks are filled with the members
of a hybrid race created from the goblins and orcs captured on
the Herja. It might sound weird to include them here, but from
my knowledge, it was actually the ex-royal mages from these
kingdoms who created them—the Goborc Troopers have come
into existence through unnatural means. The fusion of orcs
and goblins might typically result in the birth of dead offspring.
However, wielding the magic of the god of Chaos has defied the
laws of nature. It seems corruption by Chaos doesn’t need lots
of time.
