Algaia

The Algaia are the Children of the Goddess: spiritual, respectful of the land and driven with a passion to rid the world of evils that plague the good people of the factions.

Many among the warhost are seen as zealots; filled with the strength of The Goddess they oppose the unnatural in whatever guise it takes, be it demon, undead or other manner of strange creature. Some take this to the extreme and dedicate every waking moment to the path of the Goddess. Known as her Swords, these powerful warrior-priests are beacons of light against the darkness who rally the faithful around them.

Some are people of the forests or seas, scouts, sailors and rangers who venerate The Hunter, the noble protector that is son, father and husband to The Goddess. Those who know well the dark paths and deep shadows of the woodland, or treacherous coasts are well respected among the Algaia, for their guile and knowledge is invaluable to all.

Naturally drawn to the arcane, many of the Algaia turn to magic; studying the arts in scholarly institutes across the lands. Mages, healers and shamans hone their powers to master magics and turn their power against the enemies of the free peoples.

The magical forests of Lyonesse and Estragales are teeming with all manner of esoteric beings; satyrs and dryads dance within the magical woodland, their music luring wanderers from the paths; the Courts of the Fae continuously vie for power among each other in an eternal struggle, while trolls and beast creatures born of the land venerate the Goddess and Hunter in ways that may seem strange to many.
