Spoiler: Story
It's been centuries since D'Sparil was defeated. Mages have found ways of easily opening dimentional portals to other worlds, using the magic the Serpent Riders used to conquer their respective domains, and the people of Parthoris learned of the defeat of the other Serpent Riders. New threats came and went, but peace, generally, prevailed.
However, there are some that took advantage of this peace to increase their own power, and there were worlds under the heel of the Serpent Riders, conquered before Parthoris, that were not liberated so easily. An individual from one such world, later calling himself the LureMaster, one of D'Sparil's most promising diciples, culled knowledge, magic and treasure from many different worlds, and used it all to create his own personal playground: The Trials.
While never wanting to rule over any worlds, himself, the LureMaster craved combat. Not just pitting his magic against his own foes, but watching others battle to the death. He created The Trials to observe those epic struggles, and he even documents such battles in his own library. Many power or treasure seeking adventurers have come, but none have actually survived The Trials, and won the treasure.
And so the word of The Trials has spread, and many more continue to die, their own treasures adding to the LureMaster's horde, their souls serving in the LureMaster's personal army, and their stories documented in the LureMaster's library.

==Ranger==
Description:
After Corvus' triumph against D'Sparil and Morcalavin, he resolved to help his people defend themselves, and thus, spent his life training an order of warriors talented in both physical combat and mystical abilities. Knows as rangers, in deference to Corvus' wanderings, these talented Sidhe have mastered magic as well as any, and sometimes roam worlds defending those who need it, and hunting evil where they find it. Many rangers, however, roam specifically for the adventure and the thrill of danger.

==Knight==
Description:
The Order of the Sun was established centuries ago, to wipe out the remaining monsters and servants of the Serpent Riders. Several of its Knights have even challenged the Luremaster over the centuries, but none have yet succeeded. These Knights are hardier and more proficient with martial fighting than most, and some have magical talent gifted by their chosen diety.

==Savant==
Description:
The Savants are an order of wizards tasked with gathering knowledge from the corners of the universe. Their stronghold is more a library than a fortress, and while suited more to their libraries, Savants are still powerful and skilled magic users. Sometimes, Savants are sent by the ruling council to gather information, specifically, and the Trials are as good a store as any.

==Entropist==
Description: Entropists are a special sect of necromancers that live by a single rule: Nothing lasts forever. They specifically seek to hunt and destroy undead and others who cheat death by attaining immortality by any means. While considered mostly harmless by ordinary folk, Entropists are often shunned for their practice of necromancy, despite their intent, though they are always welcome when a lich tries to raise an army. Through his mastery of immortality, the Luremaster has earned the wrath of the Entropists.
Ability: Can summon a spectral knight that lasts 30 seconds.
