### Holy Warrior Sieg Pholia (Lawful)

###

### Ground Squadron

Flag | HP/MP | Magic
--- | --- | ---

72/36

#### Level 4

Earth

Fire

Mind

The young king of the Pholia royal line, keepers of law and order of Bahamut for the last 2,000 years.

Following in the footsteps of his father, King Bakh, he seeks to restore the royal line and bring an end to the Age of Darkness, restoring peace to the continent. He is assisted by his loyal retainer, Sir Raymond.

Having trained in the art of the sword from an early age, he has already earned the title of Holy Warrior. His skills are comparable to those of Sir Raymond himself. He is also skilled in the use of spears.

### Berserker Vastral Bindout (Neutral)

###

### Ground Squadron

Flag | HP/MP | Magic
--- | --- | ---

86/0

#### None

Before the beginning of the Age of Darkness, there was a barbarian empire which rose up against the Pholian royal line.

Though Emperor Bormann was killed by the Pholian army, a few survivors managed to hide a baby in a secure location. That baby was Vastral, the only descendant of the Emperor. After coming of age, he found out the truth of his origins and swore to restore his empire. Taking advantage of the Age of Darkness, he managed to raise an army, and now opposes Sieg directly.

### Great Sorceress Shelpha Freja (Chaotic)

###

### Ground Squadron

Flag | HP/MP | Magic
--- | --- | ---

32/98

#### Level 4

Earth

Water

Fire

Wind

Dark

Mind

A sorceress of chaos who showed up out of nowhere as soon as the Age of Darkness began. She is the leader of the Sorcery Sect, descendants of the sorcerers suppressed by the Pholian royal line in the past.

It is rumored that her goal is to establish the Eternal Sorcery Kingdom, but nobody knows whether this is true. Everything about Shelpha is shrouded in mystery, including her lineage. Some say she might not be human at all, but an avatar of the Devil.

### Ell Moir (Lawful)

### Elves

### Ground Squadron

Flag | HP/MP | Magic
--- | --- | ---

60/68

#### Level 3

Earth

Wind

Mind

The hero of the elves living in the easternmost forests of the continent since ancient times. His skill with the bow and magical talent are second to none among the elves. The Elven Council tasked him with stopping the evil and chaos of the Age of Darkness; thus, he set out of the forest with his army, his beloved sister Ell Wynn at his side. The elves are confident that the two siblings will be able to save the world.

### Gailum Grindam

### Giants

Regen

### Ground Squadron

Flag | HP/MP | Magic
--- | --- | ---

96/0

#### None

The Giants always had a motto: "We are the heart of the world". Lacking any particular ambition, they were content to defend their own domain. However, the Dwarves, who had their eyes on the Giants' resource-rich lands, deceived the Pholian royal family, who proceeded to seal the Giants deep underground. This was the trigger for an undying hatred of the Dwarves and the humans. Now, the Giants have returned, and no one can quell their fury.

### Great Dragon Velfraim

### Dragons

Regen

### Flying Squadron

Flag | HP/MP | Magic
--- | --- | ---

80/40

#### Level 3

Fire

Wind

The Queen of the Dragons, who once lost her life at the end of a fierce battle against Devil King Klimt. With her dying breath, she cursed Klimt, swearing revenge—and now, called back by the dark powers of the Age of Darkness, the Great Dragon soars the skies once again.

### Devil King Klimt

### Demons

Regen

### Flying Squadron

Flag | HP/MP | Magic
--- | --- | ---

78/48

#### Level 4

Fire

Dark

Mind

The king of the demons, who has roamed the continent since time immemorial. With his dark powers, he was once able to subjugate the entire realm before suffering defeat at the hands of Sir Balmer, the hero of the Pholian royal family. But now he, too, has been resurrected by the evil powers of the Age of Darkness, and his only goal seems to be slaughtering every other living creature.

Some theorize that the mysterious dark power and Klimt himself share the same origin.

### Sir Balmer

### Undead

Regen

### Ground Squadron

Flag | HP/MP | Magic
--- | --- | ---

50/68

#### Level 4

Dark

Mind

After giving his life to defeat Klimt, Balmer Pholia, the founder of the Pholian royal family, was laid to rest in the catacombs of the royal castle, alongside the magic sword Betharusnega. However, the evil powers of the Age of Darkness brought him back... as the undead. Leading an army of the living dead, he is now set on destroying the family he once swore to protect.

With that said, nobody knows his true intentions.

## Tacticians:
The Advisors of Sieg and Vastral

### Sir Raymond

A great hero who has contributed to the prosperity of the Pholian royal family since the times of Sir Balmer. Apparently, his mastery of the white powers of Good gives him eternal life, but no one but him knows the truth behind this power.

### Dean Restia

Vastral's stepbrother, who seemingly had a complete change of personality at the very beginning of the Age of Darkness. He is most likely superior to Vastral in terms of talent, but for some reason has chosen to serve him as his advisor.

# Heroes

When playing under Advanced Rules, powerful people known as "Heroes" will roam the continent. Once hired, Heroes can be assigned to a Squadron, adding their individual talents and making them that much stronger.

Heroes can be one of three alignments: Lawful (L), Chaotic (C), or Neutral (N). Neutral Heroes can be hired by any Master, while Lawful and Chaotic Heroes can only be hired by a Master of their alignment.

### Example

### Hero Name

### Yoma

### Alignment: Chaotic (C)

- MP: 36
- Can cast Level 3 Mind and Dark Spells
- Employable by the Neutral Vastral or the Chaotic Shelpha

Shelpha's Wizard Squadrons can usually only cast up to Level 4 Water, Fire, and Mind Spells. When this Hero is assigned to them, however, they will additionally be able to cast Level 4 Dark Spells, and their MP will also be increased (up to a maximum of 99 MP). Furthermore, they will also receive a bonus to their Attack, Skill, Armor, Speed and Magic stats. (Magic can reach up to 255.)

There are over 60 different Heroes in total. Keep searching until you find those who suit you the most.

Skeletons, the lowest Class available, can be hired even without another Squadron present; otherwise, one Squadron can Summon one other Squadron of the same Class or lower, while two Squadrons can Summon a Squadron one Class above theirs. However, Balmer himself is able to Summon any Squadron he has access to.

Skeleton | 0 SP
Zombie | 0 SP
Mummy | 18 SP
Vampire | 32 SP

## Monster Squadrons
