ZCE / Square Peg Round Trope. Lightning Bruiser is tough, Fragile Speedster is fragile. Can\'t be both. Ditto FS and Jack Of All Stats, they\'re mutually exclusives (can\'t be good at speed and bad at defense while being average at everything).

A notable Vellond subfaction are the '''Kaedes'''.
to:
The first nation in Bersian history to unite the warring darkelf city-states. Founded by the Vampire King Valdemar, Vellond is a fast-growing multiracial hegemony held together by liberal use of the GenghisGambit. At the top, vampires and half-vampires serve as the ruling caste, providing high-ranked generals, officers, aristocrats and territorial '''Overseers'''. The matriarchal darkelves compose most of the population and fighting force, as well as the elite Yenicheri bodyguards. Orcs and ogres of Hexter are a recent acquisition, see Hexter Itself for details. There are also humans living in Vellond, perpetually in fear of their vampiric overlords. A notable Vellond subfaction are the '''Kaedes'''.
'''Kaedes'''. This Anti-Vellond darkelf nationalist faction is intent on overthrowing the vampiric rulers of the realm and restoring darkelf self-governance. What they lack in power, they make up for in stealth operations and by supporting Vellond's enemies. In the end, the Vampire King's manipulations fail him and the Kaedes reach their goal as he is abandoned by more and more of his allies while Encablossa comes down on him, leading to his death and the dismantling of the Vellond Empire as we know it.

More of a geographical region than a nation, Hexter is inhabited by many independent tribes of orcs who are traditionally lead by ogres as their chiefs. Though feuding one another, the tribes are fairly united in their beliefs and traditions, until Vellond sees an oppurtunity to expand and begins "pacifying" Hexter by supporting some of the weaker tribes with war materials. The most notable of these tribes is the '''Darokha Tribe'''. This effectively splits Hexter into the Pro-Vellond and Anti-Vellond tribes. Besides the Darokha, the most notable Pro-Vellond faction turns out to be the otherwise independent-minded '''Jurai Tribe''', led by Chief Jubal, while the Anti-Vellond faction is led by Chief Urukubarr of the '''Gorzanik Tribe'''. Managing to get the Darokha to switch allegiance, Urukubarrs Anti-Vellond movement eventually succeeds in driving out most Vellondians. This in turn causes King Valdemar to send Regnier to pacify and regain the area, but Regnier has his own plans. Gaining the allegiance of Urukubarr and thus the whole movement of free orcs, as well as the support of Valdemar's own son Leinhart, he begins quietly consolidating power of his own until eventually breaking away from Vellond altogether, causing them to go to war with his newly-founded '''Hexter Commonwealth'''.

While dressing in a revealing style, she never seems to try using seduction on anyone, though she might flirt a bit, and her actual in-action persona is incredibly serious, stoic, devoted and thoughtful and while ruthless and brutal to her foes, she might be one of the most idealistic-hearted characters in the game when it comes to her nation.
