Ogres

Ogres are great warriors, and are notably the masters of the swamps. They lure children of blue light, known as Lapis Children in order to source the energy needed for their survival. They can only attack at night time and are intelligent. They lure children with ruses and enigmas, and can shapeshift into elements of the swamp at will.

Nephilim

Nephilim, known as fallen angels, were once in the Kingdom of Heaven but dared to share the secrets of magic to humankind. With them came the Artifact, an esoteric device capable of controlling spirits, which was then discovered and harvested by the Urybogr Sect. The Nephilim were almost decimated after the Urgyborg Sect took control of the Artifact, there are only 7 fallen archangels that remain to this day. They master the elements of time and can be found close to desert caves.

Urybogr Sect

The Urybogr Sect found its origins in the 7th century BC in Southern Sweden after Olaf the Blind prophecized that a Bohemian King would once bring the return of the Fallen Kingdom and the golden Era of the Dark Horde. The Dark Horde was the armed branch of the Nephilim and revolted after a scission of power. Having stolen the Artifact from the Nephilim, they took control of the main kingdoms of the Dream Realm and managed to decimate their enemy.

There are however few of them on Earth, and can communicate through a few priests. They will be unleashed when the Artifact is activated and the Urybogr portal (a multiverse portal) finally restored.

Ordo Regalis

With the dark horde pest being spread out all around the globe, the Ordo Regalis (Royal Order) is the last wall to prevent an all-out infection. Being the last remnants of the close King's guard, they are known for being battle hardened. They have developed a belief of de-orcification dating from the Great Turning era. If you stumble upon them, run. They strongly believe that, by harvesting an inner energy from healthy subjects, they will be able to create a cure for the dark horde. The harvesting must be done in a way that the subject feels the most pain possible in order to fully extract the energy to its full potency.

Hoarders

Hoarders are humans possessed by the Uryborg Sect and that are roaming the borders of the conquered lands of Earth. They walk on all-fours and resemble the undead. Their putrid smell and appearance can be recognised from far-away, and are easily avoidable. They will not go without a fierce fight, avoid at all costs, unless you are a Titan.

Sinkers

Sinkers are the souls of tormented sailors, fishermen and navy soldiers being brutally murdered by the Dark Horde and left to rot at the bottom of water sources. Their realm is water. They can be found in rivers, lakes and shallow seas. Sinkers are undead people, they can still communicate and will drown anyone that attempts to get close. They use their female counterparts, the Sirens, who can shapeshift into pleasurable appearances only to brutally sink you down.

Jinns

Jinns are metaphysical bodies of energy that can travel through time and space, and can bend any laws of physics. They are able to get into thoughts, possess bodies but are vulnerable to those who do not fear them. Their true form are slender bodies that float, but they often take the appearance of felines, or Succubus demons (think, lustful females). They guard treasures, abandoned homes, can be evil or good. They are slaves of the Urygorg and the Nephilim, and often do their bidding, since they do not possess a sense of will.

Batgors

Batgors are sworn enemies of the Ordo Regalis. They were once human but have been mutated due to an Orc gene mixed with bats. Legend wants that a famous Orc commandant would consume so many Bats and human prisonners that once performing natural obligations with his concubine, her offspring's DNA was altered and gave birth to the first Batgors. Being swifter, smarter and more collaborative than Orcs, they prove to be a very efficient army at spreading chaos amongst human settlements. They fear fire and cleanliness.

Warpers

Warpers are the guardians of the Dream Realm. They guard Artifact beacons, which are devices that maintain prisonners into a dream-like state in an alternate reality. Warpers are skeleton/ghostly slender figures that were once human.

Titans

Titans are sons of the defunct Uranus and Gaea and ruled Ryn for milennias until the first Great Nephilim War. Titans are powerful, ancient beings that are said to have shaped Ryn itself. They are massive in size and possess immense strength, and are often depicted as being humanoid in shape with stone-like skin. Some Titans are revered as gods by certain Rynian cultures, while others are feared for their destructive capabilities. It is said that they are immune to the passage of time, and that they will one day return to the world to shape it once again. Despite their god-like powers, Titans are also said to be locked in a never-ending battle with one another, as they each seek to assert their dominance over the others.

Lapis Knights

Lapis Knights have long been prophecized to awake prisonners of the Dream Realm in order to take back control of the Earth from the Dark Horde. They are recognizable by their tall build, eerie appearance and piercing eyes. The Uryborg Sect pays a close attention to newborn sharing these characteristics, with them being the victims of infanticides to prevent the unavoidable.

Valak Companions

The Valak Companions are an order of humanoid and non-humanoid entities working alongside the Urygborg. They are more commonly known as Daemons and possess psychic abilities on top of their repulsive and intimidating appearance. The Valak Companions dwell in humid and dark places, do not tolerate light, and operate through the Somnia Mundi.

Church of Morphea

The Church of Morphea is dedicated to the cult of Morphea. Shortly after the First Great Nephilim War, the Artifact went on to dwell for centuries and confered a spirited power to the Sacred Tree, where Morphea resides. This in turn transformed diverse elements of nature, as well as animals into humanoid figures. They possess an innate sense of intuition, can connect with the elements of earth, water and fire, and can shape shift into their original form. Follwoers of the Church of Morphea are dedicated to protect their environment and are highly hostile against any non-Morphean entity.

Bloaters

Bloaters are heavily-mutated human prisonners from the Kingdom of Chyran that have been infected with the cordyceps fungus, which causes the body to balloon in size and produce large amounts of spores. Bloaters are slow-moving but extremely dangerous, as their spores can infect other humans and their large, spiky bodies make them difficult to defeat.

Kardora Astram

The Kardora Astram, more commonly known as Abominations, are the last class of deformed combattants of the Dark Horde. They are the subject of experiments conducted by the Urygborg while attempting to breed Ogres and Orcs together. Their strength is not comparable to the latter two. They only respond to Margila (a Urygborg priestess), whom they see as their Mother, and are oblivious to anybody else. Their inability to cooperate nor control them (except for Margila) makes them a scaringly-dangerous breed, which is only to be used as a last resort for chaos. They are contained in Somnia Mundi.

Goblins

Goblins are small, mischievous creatures known for causing chaos and trouble. They are often depicted as physically grotesque, with twisted, distorted features and a cruel, malevolent expression on their face. In many realms of Ryn, goblins are feared and reviled by other sentient beings due to their selfish, greedy, and manipulative nature.
