The Shadow Army is a force which hails from the land of Northẻstnẻs who have recently appeared to threaten life in Hyalica. They destroy farms, villages, and ruthlessly pillage the landscape. They are commanded by their leader Sir Sirion Fleet, an ancient knight of Kalkin Kingdom. His high ranking subordinates consists of six knights, also knights of the Ancient Kalkin Kingdom. And altho the Army has been silent for quite a while- with only minor apperances from time to time, their reason for reyurning in such great masses has yet to be determined.


How The Army is Organized

The Shadow Army is comprised of one commander, six sub-commanders, and a variable amount of undead warriors, archers, and Terra warriors. The entire Army is lead by the General. He is control of every solider in the army. Directly under him in the chain of command are the six commanders. They are in control of anywhere from one to a thousand undead, Terras, Fire Bows, and the rest of the warriors. The commanders lead separate raids and attacks at different times. If great strength is needed various commanders can combine forces to create a formidable force.

Name: Sir Sirion Fleet Age: Unknown Height: 7' 0" Position: Leader of the Sahdow Army of Sülon Birthplace: Unknown Weapon of Choice: Chaos Blade of Legend Background: The name Sirion Fleet once struck fear into the heart of all whom heard it. Many centuries ago, his band of Knights was in charge of King's protection and keeping the public of Hyalica in line during the terror reign of the Sorcerer Midron over five hundred years ago. Legends speak of the Sir Sirion Fleet swooping down upon villages and cities like a black shadow, killing everyone in the town, and leaving nothing but devastation and despair. Sirion disappeared after the destruction of Kalkin Palace five hundred years ago, and all believe he had perished. Only recently has Sirion reappeared, a forgotten nightmare, come to life to haunt reality. Character: Not much can be said of Sirion's character. He rarely speaks, and shows no emotion from behind his helmet. Sirion does possess minor magical abilities, but has never shown them in one-on-one combat. He prefers to give his opponents at least a fighting chance before they are eliminated. His objectives in Hyalica still remain unknown, but regardless of what they are, he is a terror to all unfortunate enough to cross his path.

Name: Gakar Age: Unknown Height: 5' 3" Position: Necromancer Birthplace: Unknown Weapon of Choice: Undead Background: Gakar's background is unknown. He now works under Sirion for an unknown reason other than his powerful necromancy skills. He resides in an unknown location, and creates all Undead warriors, Firebows, and Terras for The Shadow Army, giving them an infinite number of soldiers to do Sirion's will. He is rarely seen during the raids and attacks and many think he is afraid of being killed. Only when magic is needed, is he seen. Gakar is unable to die from age, but he is not invulnerable to physical and magical attacks. Character: Gakar is vile and wicked. He will personally kill to fill his army of undead. He likes to weaken his victims with spells and curses that slowly kill them off over time. Only those with magical protection can with stand his powerful magic.

Name: Sir Mallivous Age:Unknown Height: 6' 4" Position: Captian of the Army Birthplace: Unknown Weapon of Choice: Sword of the Ancient Spirits Background: Sir Mallivous is a very mysterious Commander. Before the Sorcerer Midron was killed, and the Knights of Kalkin was the most powerful fource in the land, Mallivous was always seen on Sirion's right side. His sword's power has never been observed, but it is known to give him an unseen power. Character: Of all the sub commanders in The Army of Sülon, Sir Malliovus is the most cunning. His knowledge of Hyalica and the surrounding lands has helped him make, strong and effective attacks on the country side.

Name: Sir Ziken Age: Unknown Height:6' 5" Position: Commander Birthplace: Unknown Weapon of Choice: Sword Background: Sir Ziken was once a knight of the Kingdom of Kalkin. Nothing other than that is know about this knight, although it was thought he had come from a land far past the Gulf of Kalkin to join the elite knights. Character: Ziken is a powerful warrior on the battlefield. He chooses to use his battalion of to target small farms and villages other than cities. He seems to focus all his attacks on the land of Lintop.

Name: Sir Dogred Age: Unknown Height: 6' 5" Position: Commander Birthplace: Unknown Weapon of Choice: Sword Background: More of a siege captain than a battle commander, Dogred creates ingenious siege machines that are unlike any before seen in Hyalica. Unlike many knights he was well educated in the art of gunpowder, an advancement far beyond his time. He chooses his Sword of the Ice over a gun, but he is known to supply a few to specially trained undead in his battalion. Character: Sir Dogred is not seen often. He is only seen during sieges, and then he is at the back of the siege lines, or or far away on a hill surveying the area. He seems to strive for absolute perfection, and has been seen destroying numerous of his soldiers that fail him.

Name: Sir Yerald Age: Unknown Height:6' 3" Position: Commander Birthplace: Unknown Weapon of Choice: Sword Background: Yerald was once a mighty mage, recruited by Midron to be a knight at Kalkin Palace for his powerful magic and evil mind. He was the only Kalkin Palace knight to ever be killed during duty, and so he himself is an undead. He wears the armor of a Kalkin Mage, and it differs greatly from that of a Knight. Character: Even in his undead state Yerald still possesses great magical abilities, although they have weakened over time. He is a ruthless leader to all he fights, and has never taken a prisoner. It is only a rumor, but those who have seen him with his undead battalion say he actually cares for them.

Name: Sir Extor Age: Unknown Height:6' 7" Position: Commander Birthplace: Unknown Weapon of Choice: War Hammer Background: Sir Extor history is unlike any other member of the Knights. He named is mentioned in old manuscripts, and there is even a ruined manor which has been said to have been his personal residence before his career in the Fleet. His war hammer is amazingly heavy, a sign of his great strength, and it has the power to create fissures in the ground and, when slammed hard enough, can create minor tremors. Character: Demonically strong and equally cruel, Sir Extor is a fearsome foe on the battlefield. Unlike the other Commanders, Extor cries and roars while on the battlefield. His cries are compared to that of a hideous monster, and many of the opposition flee with terror when they hear them.

Name: Sir Waxar Age: Unknown Height:6' 4" Position: Commander Birthplace: Unknown Weapon of Choice: Spear Background: Sir Waxar is a new knight to the ranks of the Fleet. He was chosen to fight for Midron after Sir Yearald fell, but never had the chance to fight in a Fleet battle; Midron was killed soon after, and he disappeared. His spear of the wind in incredibly light, and can be thrown close to the speed of an arrow. All who fall from it never see it comming. Character: Sir Waxar is swift and deadly. He seems to strive for battle. He is always at the front line of his Battalion and charges with unrelenting courage.

Name: Firebow Age: Unknown Height: Variable Position: Shadow Army Elite Archer Birthplace: Unknown Weapon of Choice: Bow with Fire Arrows Fire bows are the spirits of dead archers. Some have kept their physical bodies, but others are ghost-like in body. They are extremely powerful attackers, and their arrows can quickly wither away an enemy army to nothing. They must be kept, far from harm's way, for they have no hand-to-hand combat weapons or armor, and are an easy foe to defeat. Character: Fire bows are the smartest soldiers of The Shadow Army. Their ability to hit any target makes them the backbone of the army. They are quick on their feet, and can move to any place on the battlefield in moments. But what they gain in brains, they loose in courage. Firebows will run from an attacking army, or trade sides, and sometimes attack their own sides. Most must be destroyed by their own creator after a battle.

Name: Terra Age: Unknown Height: 5 to 6 feet Position: Fleet Melee Soilder Birthplace: Unknown Weapon of Choice: Variable Background: Terras are soldiers created from the Earth itself tightly packed together. On the outside they are protected by a hard outershell of rock hard earth, making them almost invulnerable to arrows. Only the strongest blows can destroy them The inside of terra is comprised soft dirt, soil, and small rocks. Because they are made of the Earth they are easily created and moved. They are only weakness, is their severe weakness to the forces of water and ice. Character: Terras are the strongest soldiers found in The Army. They are able to wield battle axes and war hammers with the utmost ease. Their strength allows them to destroy walls and rip doors off their hinges. Terras are always seen during Fleet sieges. They are quite stupid though, and must be given specific orders, or they will walk around aimlessly.

Name: Undead Age: Unknown Height:Variable Position: Shadow Army Foot Soilder Birthplace: Unknown Weapon of Choice: Variable Background: The undead are the bulk soldiers of the Army. They are the bodies of dead brought back to life by the power of necromancy. They have lost almost all their ability to think for themselves, and only follow the commands of their leader. Although any type of undead can be used for battle, deceased warriors are best because of their previous training in weapons handling. Character: Undead are stupid, unthinking, warriors whose only purpose is to follow the commands of their master. Their inability to fear, feel pain, and think for themselves, make them the greatest of all soldiers.
