Fairies– The fairies left Sheorae millenniums ago, after bestowing gifts upon each of the Seven Nations which ripped their peacefully united existence asunder. Only the fire fairies stayed behind, but they stay hidden as much as possible.
Origrins– These are a cross between the ogres & the goblins. They inherited the rock-hard skin and ability to withstand daylight from the ogres while gleaning the stealth and nasty personality from the goblins.
Rectors– Rectors are the ungodly creation of Drokmar’s dabbling in the black arts. These resurrected villains are ruthless killers, living only to serve their master and inflict carnage.
Dalphene– The dalphene are Drokmar’s special band of mercenaries. Shape-shifting cohorts bound to him through an evil ritual that enables them to use his powers, yet he knows every attempt they make.
Miscellaneous creatures: unicorns, fire mares, jauquists, moon shairns, braidocs, gryphons, warvels, and many more.
The Blades were forged by Drokmar, himself, from the ancient arts left behind from the dwarves. When his lust for power grew uncontainable, the Blades sought out their own path to fulfill the measure of their creation. Though for centuries the Seven Nations have fought to wield the legendary swords, the Blades knew their destiny and moved heedlessly to accomplish their design.
The blade alone was a good three feet of steel that rippled upon itself, even in this lighting, due to the folding and refolding process needed to give it its power and strength. Gold-flame ornamentation decorated up its length where the dual-edge met. The razor-sharp edges winked a deadly gleam. The duel-gripped handle added another ten inches to the sword’s length, but still it remained surprisingly well-balanced. The hilt was topped with two perfect rings, kissing either side of the blade. The guard then curved out and ascended, like bronze flames licking upward to praise the majesty of the blade. A golden drac’s head lay in the middle of where the flames began. The dragonesque body twisted its way along the handle, embedding there, so as to provide grip but not discomfort. The eyes winked a menacing ruby red with a fire of their own.
Its blade reached two feet in and of itself, elaborately decorated on the bottom four inches with gold and bronze. A mere palm-width across, the hand guard was tipped on either end with small dragon heads. The gleaming sentinels flanked a thumb-sized sapphire centered on the hilt. The handgrip was a gently curving hourglass of ivory, with two opal orbs making the curves. Gold inlaid steel tapered down from the hourglass, extending and expanding to encase another large sapphire as the pommel.
