Lokan

Marsh Scourge

A cursed shadow looms over the Wailing Marshes

 

Few would call the humid air and acrid muck of the Wailing Marshes home, but those that do thrive in such an inhospitable environment. The creatures of the Wailing Marshes all possess some unique trait to aid their survival in the toxic fumes. Lokan’s strength lies in his unrivaled ferocity. Lokan can better channel his rage in battle, using it to regenerate himself whenever he wounds his prey.

Opes

Holy Fire Dragon

 

War Dragons - Opes

A radiant dawn soars high above the battlefield.

 

Far above the rest of Atlas lies the Spinal Peaks. Permanently shrouded by thick clouds, no one is entirely sure what lives up there. Atlas’s many taverns have no short of speculation, however. One popular tale speaks of a Dragon called Opes. It is said that Opes can command the very sun that shines on Atlas, channeling its magnificent energy to destroy its enemies.

Keth

Swamp King

 

None dare challenge the rule of this rotting, fungal horror.

 

The poisonous lands of the Wailing Marshes weed out all but the strongest of creatures. Some survive due to their cunning. Others survive with an unrivaled constitution. Keth, the Swamp King, rarely fights at all. Instead, he lurks, concealed in the murky waters, waiting for the perfect time to strike. When that vulnerable moment comes, none survive the attack to follow.
