The Rimeconjurers are usually the smarts behind every Frost Dwarven expedition. Their magical talents are used to make, mold and unmake ice - and they use that to navigate difficult environments, fortify a camp, or freeze foes in their places. They're responsible for charting their progress and finding suitable places for settling in. Instinct: safely lead dwarves

• Endure adversity
• Encase foes in ice
• Disrupt the battlefield

Frost dwarves, when found outside their cities, are usually organized into small expedition groups. These expeditions look for artifacts, supplies and places to settle and expand their clan's hold on the snowy, frozen land or underground. Their usual weapon of choice is the flail, and such expeditions are usually clad in climate-appropriate scale or chain mail, with big shields covering their flanks. Instinct: to settle in frozen environments

• Endure adversity

The Frostcaster Kobold shaman usually leads the tribe, horde or group. It has innate magic abilities, probably from having stronger blood ties to actual dragons.

It uses its cold and frost magical abilities to keep melee attackers at bay, freezing the ground and making it slippery. Instinct: to please its master

• Lead other kobolds
• Lay a trap
• Freeze the environment
• Call the band

• Appear where most needed
• Charge as one
• Appear and disappear at will

The title of Giant-King is, perhaps, misleading; no Jotunn is bound by any law to obey. The real power behind the mantle of Giant-King is a connection with the Jotunnvael itself, the magical valley in which the Jotnar live. Druid-like and pensive, Jurzbog is always sure to deeply consider all options before taking any action. Instinct: To ponder

• Consider an idea deeply before taking action
• Beseech the Valley for aid

There is a belief common on the Orcish Isles, that the Orcs were once giants like the Jotnar. Drogo the Bloody believes that Orcs could be giants again.

• Act impulsively
• Rally a group around a cause

Johannes Embry, Arch-Curator of the Mirian Archeological Society, is leading an expedition into the ruins of the ancient Elven Kingdoms.

Instinct: To gain magical power

• Seek a source of power
• Exploit an ancient spell or item

The Crimson King has ruled the Elven kingdom of Eolar for longer than the history books can remember. Seemingly immortal, whether by the will of the Gods or his own arcane superiority, the Crimson King may very well be the oldest living thing. Instinct: To preserve Elven history

• Recall ancient history, long-forgotten by the world
• See glimpses of fate
