 Another is "Dark Dagger" - the assassins. They are hired for sinister purposes by anyone who has the money to pay for it. In the cities, people have a legitimate fear of the dark - you can at any time be taken out by a Dark Dagger member. Either if you have a wealthy enemy without scruples or if you have offended a member in some way. They are rumoured to be Kraagh and Mestronorpha worshippers.
 Then there are the thieves, known as "The Cloaks". They are the thieves’ guild and function truly as a guild. Anyone who tries to operate as thief without their consent are paid a visit and "convinced" to become a member - or scram. Many thieves are not in the guild, so the Cloaks have a backlog of "roamers" to handle. Some are Calah, although the Cloaks usually leaves them alone. There is a link between the Cloaks and some group of magicians and who deploy them for special purposes. The Cloaks are mostly Tzankili worshippers.

She is rumoured to have strange magickal powers. Some say she is grey at best. This may be the answer to the constant bad weather covering the city. Others claim she is the target of jealous competitors for her title... her brother, and that this fight is burdening the city.
 The use of magick is prohibited inside the city walls. There are very few exceptions made to this policy, one of which is the notorious Perception wizard Kiro.

	In the mountain north west of the kingdom lives Origo, an ancient Dragon. He is a very selfish creature, obsessed with the collecting of treasure and magick. There are no other dragons here. None that will try taking any of his treasure. There are the wyverns, though, but they seldom dare to challenge the grand dragon.

 The fay people are mostly on the western forests. They are however to be sporadically found just about everywhere else - where they are not unduly disturbed. Some faeries like the company of humans and tend to live near villages or other small human settlings.

 Anashina once found a way to cheat death, she cut Kraagh's cycle of birth-life-death-birth for her worshippers. It was her gift to them for helping her protect nature. But Kraagh just happened to discover her cheating, although not soon enough to avoid it. He did however manage to throw a curve in her plan: he killed the feelings and creativity of her worshipers. This explains many of the more troubling sides of faeries.
 When Anashina worshippers die, they may go to the Otherworld and become faeries. They can then cross over into our world again - as faeries.

	The rulers of the central forests are the Trolls. Huge, ugly and ever so powerful, they thrive on hate and love to harass the Araxi. They are fearsome creatures and humans are well advised never to strike blades with any troll. Trolls are lone creatures and seldom live in groups of more than five. Often they live in a cave by themselves with a hundred or more Araxi in the nearby forests. These Araxi are kept close to the troll by terror. Whenever the troll discovers that an Arax has escaped, it immediately tortures or kills its friends and family. And the trolls have '''very '''keen senses.

 == The dwarves ==
 Man Peggon once had a child with Anashina, the goddess of nature. His name is Mon Saran. A giant like his father, but much less mature in thought and action. His father and Mestronorpha have been in several battles over the year. One day Man Peggon was injured and got a scar on his left chin. At that time, Mon Saran was just growing up to become an adult. He wanted to prove himself to his father and challenged Mestronorpha with an army of followers. Mon Saran had handpicked warriors among his human followers. And they were all marching towards Mestronorpha’s castle in Hell. But Mon Saran was no match to the Dark Overlord. He looked at them with half an eye closed and cursed the whole lot. They were shrunk to almost half-human size. Mon Saran was 3 meters tall. Now he was only 1.30. He realised he could not take on the Devil as a dwarf and retreated.

 Long since, upon discovering their skills in mining and with minerals, the dwarves became very greedy and stingy. They are hard bargainers and never give anything for free.
 The dwarves hates the Araxi. They hate the trolls even more intensely. The trolls are thought to be the very opposite of the dwarves, a sort of anti-dwarf. They instinctually hate each other.
