The Familiars are cruel, evil allies of the Overmage. They look alien and bizarre and are not from this world. But they’ve been here before, and clashed with the Elves. There are many castes of them, each with unique body structures and powers, but all share the same mysterious markings, penchant for cruelty, and horrifying ability to rise from death with more power than ever.
The Overseers are the barbaric taskmasters responsible for forcing the Dwarves to excavate the Cinbri city, and they take pleasure in punishing their charges if they step out of line. They blaze with magical energy, and use that power to strengthen their other minions, making them temporarily impervious to harm.
