Dark Bard

(image)

Once great bards among the ice age clans, Dark Bards are those who allowed evil to control them, eventually becoming outcast from society. They have an incessant lust for power and revenge, and unleash their bitter anger upon all who oppose them. The most famous and powerful of all Dark Bards was Geannan, who used his powers to create the first orcs and undead ever seen on the Great Continent. While they appear to be little more than dirty old men, their staggering evil strikes fear or awe into the weak at heart.

Special Notes: This unit has magical attacks, which always have a high chance of hitting an opponent. Foes who lose their life to the plague will rise again in unlife, unless they are standing on a village. This unit’s arcane attack deals tremendous damage to magical creatures, and even some to mundane creatures. This unit can use one move to teleport between any two empty villages controlled by its side. This unit regenerates, which allows it to heal as though always stationed in a village.
