Morana Mære (Lvl 90)
''Mære is one of the many scattered fragments, the faintest of echo of the eternal entity that awaits the end of the universe; a mere whisper of conscious energy of the power fated to grow stronger and stronger as the cosmos draw its final desperate shudder -and then full stop. Equilibrium, at last.''

Background:
Mære is a Primal Shard –a dev-designed raidboss-exclusive race of immense power– created to be the final and the most powerful raid boss originally guarding the Omnishield Observatory back when it was a raid dungeon; and, by extension, the single most powerful entity in the Observatory from then til now.

Mære is overspecialized in one element and it comes with insane synergy and perks. The ice element boasts defensive-inclination combined with frost-based crowd-control abilities, potent single target ice shards, massive AoE damage-over-time wintry conditions, and massive AoE blizzard of nukes. The crux of Mære’s might is [Glacial Citadel], which immobilizes and encases the Celestial in a near impenetrable crystalline structure, turning It into a magical turret, raising Its defenses and resistances and amplifies Its magical abilities, as well as Its ace: ramping up the values of what is possibly the most broken aura in all of YGGDRASIL: [Heart of Winter].

Appearance:
Mære appears as a levitating triangular pyramid, that is, a pyramid with a triangular base, with each triangle of the pyramid body an equilateral triangle with the lengths of each side at one meter. The pyramid is crystalline and transparent but when light shines through a side, it exits on other sides as almost otherworldly entrancing light, giving the Celestial Shard its sparkling appearance.

Active:

 * Ice Shard – fires a rapid concentrated stream of magically-conjured, supernaturally sharp shards of ice; deals physical damage and applies a slow debuff on hit.
 * Flash Freeze – instantly freezes every target in a medium AoE with the exception of the raid boss’ unique mob unit; frozen units have reduced physical and magic resistance; deals damage, via x% of each individual target’s maximum health, per second for as long as they are frozen.

Passive:

 * Contact Freeze – when hit by weapons and attacks that relies on physical contact, the gear the attacker used takes a hit on its durability and then a cold debuff is applied on the offending unit.
 * Fade Through – reduces all forms of damage the user receives by a considerable amount.
 * Winter Majesty – Mære's normal attack is a ranged magic bolt of pure energy that deals magic damage; this particular instance of magic damage is unique in that it is not reduced by magic resistance but it is also not boosted by reducing enemy magic resistance either; it only deals 100% damage, 100% of the time; it is also further balanced by the fact that the damage is not as powerful as a mana-costing spell anyway; each attack has an additional effect of eroding a target’s magic resistance by x% per second of constant hit; debuff stacks up to 10 stacks; every 2 seconds that the enemy doesn’t take damage from her bolt decreases the stack by one; when hitting a target with a max stack [Flash Freeze] debuff, the duration of the debuff is refreshed; while her normal attacks won't benefit from the additional effects of lowering enemy magic resistance, her other spells would.

Aura:

 * Heart of Winter – an extremely debilitating aura-based debuff with a massive AoE radius; slows down movement, cripples both health and mana regeneration, lowers enemy resistances in both physical and magical aspects, and imposes increased manacost and cooldown penalty on the usage of spells and skills.
 * Winter’s Murmur – deals continuous damage per second on all enemies in a large AoE centered on the unit; damage dealt is pure and based on a set percentage of each individual target’s maximum health value.

Special Trait:

 * Raid Boss Immunity – the unit is designed as a raid boss entity; it takes greatly reduced duration on all forms of non-channeled fixed-duration debuffs and status effects; all debuffs and status applied on it are reduced in potency; it is immune to all forms of possession and mind-control; it is immune to forced necromancy-type resurrection; it cannot be resurrected by a player-based resurrection spell; it is immune to all instant kill spells; it is immune to nearly all World Class items.

Inspiration:

 * Mære is the representation of the heat death of the universe.
 * Her name is a reference to Morana/Marzanna, goddess of winter and death (Slavic Mythology).

Gmalus Maximus (Lvl 90)
Even a mere bound manifestation of the great force that spans the vast universe is an inexorable ravager that threatens existence itself.

Background:
Gmalus is a Primal Star Elemental, a race renowned for their formidable physical and magic resistances, easily one of the highest among primarily magic-wielding races, and the powerful chaotic energies that empower their attacks.

The former raid boss of the Observatory isn’t the most powerful magical battery in the guild base’s arsenal. Its spells won’t decimate entire high level raid parties in seconds or burst one player down immediately. Its damage output relies on slowly accumulating over time, and the longer the encounter the more dangerous it becomes. It kites opponents while wearing them down with long cast-range, massive area-denial damage-over-time spells of the warlock classes, waiting for the perfect chokepoint and moment to chain [Vacuum] into [Meteor Storm] into [Cataclysmic Nova] into [Gravity Well] then some. It can wait. It has a whole Labyrinth to work with.

The Luminiferous Labyrinth is an especially tricky area: three large floors worth of a three-dimensional maze with perfectly transparent randomly shifting walls and multiple chutes to frustrate progress. It's the masterpiece cornerstone defense of the guild base.

Appearance:
Normally, Star Elementals are amorphous pitch black creatures dotted with small luminous spots and streaks of reddish-violet like the universe is painted across their bodies. The raid boss Gmalus, however, belongs to a rare variant of the Star Elemental racial line, one armored in celestial shards that gave It a vaguely humanoid hulking shape.

Racial Classes:

 * Star Elemental Level ?
 * Elder Star Elemental Level ?
 * Primal Star Elemental Level ?

Active:

 * Cataclysmic Nova – the area of the spell’s AoE is subjected to a cascade of chaotic energies, dealing considerable damage per second in pulses.
 * Chaos Blast – basic single target nuke; deals initial damage and stun before [Daze] and a small damage-over-time.
 * Chaotic Burst – the user unleashes a powerful blast of energy centered on him that knocks back all targets caught outwards.
 * Chaotic Upheaval – a long duration AoE spell that deals small but constant percent-base damage-over-time.
 * Gravity Well – the user greatly slows down enemies caught in the AoE area for a couple of seconds, crushing them down and dealing a small amount of percent-base damage based on the maximum health of opponent(s).
 * Meteor Storm – rains down several meteors into an area, damaging and stunning everyone caught within the AoE.
 * Slipstream – the caster applies an acceleration buff to itself; increases movement speed and attack speed; reduces the cast-points and backswings of spell-casting to zero.
 * Starburst – an AoE spell that deals tremendous amount of damage in an area.
 * Supernova – a delayed AoE spell that slowly scours everything caught in the AoE before exploding and dealing considerable [Stun] then [Daze] and damage to targets.
 * Vacuum – an AoE spell that forcibly drags enemy units to the center of the AoE and stunning them upon collision when there are multiple units affected; zero cast point; interrupts enemy channeling spells.

Passive:

 * Pandæmonium Paragon – a huge AoE aura-based skill that continuously removes a small set percentage of the maximum health of all affected enemy per second; HP removal damage type.
 * Siphon Essence – the user continually drains small percent-base hit points per second from targets within a considerable AoE around the user, healing the user.
 * Void Dispersion – the user mitigates a small percentage of all damage received.

Special Trait:

 * Raid Boss Immunity – the unit is designed as a raid boss entity; it takes greatly reduced duration on all forms of non-channeled fixed-duration debuffs and status effects; all debuffs and status applied on it are reduced in potency; it is immune to all forms of possession and mind-control; it is immune to forced necromancy-type resurrection; it cannot be resurrected by a player-based resurrection spell; it is immune to all instant kill spells; it is immune to nearly all World Class items.

Inspiration:

 * Fundamental Forces: Gravitation
 * Gmalus, silent "g", is a reference to the genus Malus, which is a reference to famous apple story of Sir Isaac Newton

H’nehn (Lvl 90)
Even the ravages of Death and Time must struggle mightily against the incarnation of the tremendous force that binds the miniscule that is the very foundation of the universe.

Background:
The Naga nicknamed “Nen” was a dev-designed raid-boss set to join the first guild that managed to find and complete the long and obscure questline associated with it. The quest was long, arduous, and largely inefficient because the other rewards were insultingly subpar for the amount of effort they take but the reward at the end, H’nehn, was worth it. It is often regarded as technically the second most powerful NPC in the guild base due to its latent stats, attributes, and synergies. Its magical abilities are tremendously potent, except that they’re used for healing and not damage.

Its primary role as the guardian of the most important zone, the Repository, is to provide unrelenting heals, buffs, and revives to the powerful mercenaries amassed by the guild and assigned solely to the defense of the Repository at the expense of weakening all other zones bereft of such mercenaries and must make do with lower leveled ones. Nen’s zone is designed to be capable of repelling enemies indefinitely, until the guild can respond again or call its allied guilds for help.

Active:

 * Breath of Life – a powerful mass resurrection spell that brings back allied units to life in fighting shape with full health and mana, without penalties; 24h cooldown.
 * Cleansing Wave –
 * Darkest Before Dawn – the caster applies an undispellable short-duration buff to all allied units nearby; the buff repeatedly heals the benefactor in five pulses (five times) and the greater the number of negative buffs the benefactor suffers from, the stronger the heal is; the fifth healing pulse applies a strong dispel on the benefactor; powerful, long cooldown AoE heal.
 * Mass Purification –
 * Mass Resurrection –
 * Purification –
 * Repel –
 * Resurrection –
 * Soothing Hymn –

Passive:

 * Dazzling Gleam –
 * Inner Light –

Inspiration:

 * H’nehn is a reference to both the nitrogen-nitrogen triple bond (N≡N) and a further derivation ([H-N≡N-H]2+) when the triple bond is read as “E”, and hi-nehm, a word of power in Rick Riordan’s Kane Chronicles which means “join”.
 * The naga of mythology with a touch of Dungeons & Dragons’ snake-but-with-a-human-visage is the chosen race for Nen due to:
 * 1.) the Naga’s divinity and benevolence;
 * 2.) the single snake in Rod of Asclepius, the symbol of Asclepius, the Greek God of Medicine; and finally, and most influentially,
 * 3.) Ouroburos.

Kobayashi Dreadnaut (Lvl 90)
The Dreadnaut is a stalwart sentinel of the Great Ones and its scrutinizing gaze scour ever outward, into the long dark night beyond light, alert for the first stirrings of the void.

Background:
The Dreadnaut is a copy of the original dev-designed raid boss, one of the rogue mechanical “clock-themed” constructs said to help maintain the great machinery of Time –according to its flavor text at least. This copy was awarded to the guild after they achieved the fastest (and only) kill of the Dreadnaut in its opening day debut. It helped that the patch that introduced it got delayed and was introduced only three hours before the daily cycle resets.

The clock-themed golem was designed as an aspect of time and time is its greatest asset. It is overspecialized into an extremely defensive build that deal limited damage. To compensate and deal damage, it utilizes a unique array of skills, a continuous damage-over-time aura that can span the entire zone, and fixed damage-over-time AoE attacks.

It is overspecialized into an extremely defensive build that deal limited damage. To compensate and deal damage, it utilizes a unique array of skills, a continuous damage-over-time aura that can span the entire zone, and fixed damage-over-time AoE attacks.

The Dreadnaut forces invading players into a long, frustrating battle of attrition that continually threatens their squishier supports, DPS, and healers, forcing them to drain consumables and mana to stay healthy and in fighting shape, as well as exhausting their mental reserves, in hopes of stressing and tilting them out. The longer the battle goes on, the greater the stress and the greater the chances of mistakes that will cost the invaders dearly.

It's the anti-fun. Win or lose, it's designed to make its enemies reconsider their choices and to rid them of any sense of accomplishment or euphoria in their victory and replace it with a desperate desire to go to sleep and scream into a pillow, drained and lifeless.

Racial Classes:

 * Golem Lvl ?
 * Colossus Lvl ?
 * Titanforged Lvl ?

Active:

 * Burst of Resolve – the user releases a percent of its physical damage in an AoE; low cooldown spammable physical-damage spell.
 * Defensive Stance – the user enters a defensive stance which temporarily lowers its evasion, movement speed and attack speed while raising its physical and magical defenses.
 * Great Stomp – the user stomps the ground and stuns all nearby enemy units for a couple of seconds; deals damage based on a percentage of the user’s Strength.
 * Resolution – the unit casts a basic self-dispel; removes most dispellable negative buffs from itself.

Passive:

 * Backtrack – every 20 seconds, the unit automatically undoes all the damage and debuffs it received in the last 4 seconds.
 * Colossal Resolve – the unit passively casts [Burst of Resolve] and [Resolution], without costing anything or putting the active spells on cooldown, whenever the damage the unit receives exceeds a set amount within a six second window; damage counter resets every six seconds; ensures that trying to unload maximum damage to burst down the unit is extremely detrimental.
 * Greater Autorepair – the construct passively repairs itself, regenerating HP, even in combat.
 * Impervious – provides very potent damage block, reducing the auto-attack damage the unit takes by a set amount.

Aura:

 * Time Dilation – toggle on/off; the unit slows down the movement of all enemy units caught within the wide aura centered on the user; it also speeds up the unit and nearby allies; since it’s a chronomancy type magic, it affects both organic and non-organic as well as ethereal units without fail.
 * Time Grind – toggle on/off; the unit embodies the unrelenting ravages of time; large AoE radius aura that causes affected enemy units to lose a small percentage of their max health over time.

Special Traits:

 * Raid Boss Immunity – the unit is designed as a raid boss entity; it takes greatly reduced duration on all forms of non-channeled fixed-duration debuffs and status effects; all debuffs and status applied on it are reduced in potency; it is immune to all forms of possession and mind-control; it is immune to forced necromancy-type resurrection; it cannot be resurrected by a player-based resurrection spell; it is immune to all instant kill spells; it is immune to nearly all World Class items.

Inspiration:

 * Kobayashi Maru, the eponymous ship of Starfleet's no-win scenario trial designed to test character (Star Trek).

Prima Reina (Lvl 90)
 

Background:
Prima Reina is located in the Serenata Sanctum, a room located inside the Luminiferous Labyrinth, where she utilizes the insane variety of buffs and debuffs of the bard classes to boost the combat capabilities of the mercenary units within the zone. It is an entirely optional encounter that forces invaders into a Sophie’s Choice: attack and waste time in the Serenata Sanctum within the Labyrinth or leave Prima Reina casting her primary songs that covers the entire Labyrinth.

The primary songs, aka the centerpiece songs, are weaker than the bard classes’ secondaries but they have the advantage of a very massive AoE spanning almost the entirety of Labyrinth, one that doesn’t rely on a line-of-sight to take effect. Prima Reina could be safe and protected inside the Sanctum and still apply buffs to allies and debuffs to enemies within the Labyrinth, undispellable at that.

For a bard this level (and a developer-designed raid boss no less), five primaries can be at play at any one time. Primaries are continually channeled aura-like spells that only end when the bard chooses another primary song to play while exceeding the current limit of songs being played or Prima Reina turns the songs all off. As such, they are continually re-applied during the duration of the cast that they practically cannot be dispelled. Invaders who ignore the optional encounter are forced to fight Gmalus and other units defending the Labyrinth with the primary songs on. Invading the Serenata Sanctum however, runs the risk of giving the guild more time to gather and prepare.

Should invaders opt to take the bard down, the secondaries, short range but more potent songs with effects that are dispellable once the songs end, are in play within the Sanctum. Here, Prima Reina is propped into a chandelier-like stage hanging from the ceiling, which offers a measure of protection from (debuffed) invaders approaching below, meaning they can’t directly attack the bard and must contend first with the powerful mercenary summons and Prima Reina’s personal mob units being buffed by songs left and right.

Appearance:
Standing at 150cm, Prima Reina is a beautiful and hauntingly delicate figure with eyes of emerald, pale white skin, and platinum white hair. She wears an immaculate white unadorned sundress that reaches to her knee. A veil of white silk obscures her face and at her neck lightly rests a lustrous gray torc. Various bracelets adorn her arms, while her feet are bare, as is typical of cloud nymphs.

Classes:

 * Racial Classes:
 * Half-Blood (Stone Giant + Cloud Nymph):
 * Storm Giant Level 8 –
 * Cloud Nymph Level 7 –


 * Job Classes:
 * Orator Level 15 –
 * Empath Level 15 –
 * Bard Level 15 –
 * Concertmaster Level 10 –
 * Balladeer Level 10 –
 * Laureate Level 5 –
 * Dreadminstrel Level 10 –
 * Tremor Trobadour Level 5 –

Phantomime Sparktacle (Lvl 90)
Space is an illusion

Background:
Phantomime Sparktacle relies on constantly spamming shadowy minions in its image –its illusions containing the barest fraction of its strength- to overwhelm its enemies. Its greatest strength is in the chaos it creates as it blends seamlessly in the ranks of its illusory minions.

Appearance:
Phantomime’s appearance resembles the early 21st internet creepypasta Slenderman. It sports a spectral shadowy long coat and a more substantial top hat –in fact the top hat is the most substantial part of Phantomime. In its left hand is an ivory cane that transforms into a shadowy spear when it enters combat.

Phantomime and its illusions in their default forms trail eerie afterimages.

Racial Classes:

 * Doppelgänger Level 15 –
 * Greater Doppelgänger Level 10 –
 * Elder Doppelgänger Level 5 –

Job Classes:

 * Illusionist Lvl15 –
 * Kabuki Lvl 15 –
 * Magician Lvl 15 –
 * Prima Actor Lvl 10 –
 * Illusionist Adept Lvl 10 –
 * Grand Phantasm Lvl 5 –

Active:

 * Mirror Image – the caster creates four illusions of itself; each illusion cannot cast active spells or use item actives; each illusion deals only a small percentage of the caster’s base damage and takes amplified damage from enemies.
 * Mirror Mirror – the caster creates illusions of enemy units caught in the AoE to attack them; each illusion deals only a small percentage of the target's base damage and takes amplified damage; lasts 5 seconds or until killed.
 * Morph – the doppelganger mimics a unit; when [Mirror Image] is used while the caster is morphed into another unit the illusions created are based on the morphed unit’s stats and abilities.
 * Stardust – the caster releases a loud explosive spell in a small AoE; confuses enemy units caught in the explosion; spammable spell.

Passive:

 * Master of Illusions – the unit covers itself in a veil of illusions where nothing is ever what it seems; shrouds and shifts the unit's hitbox; an enemy slashing at the arm for example could very well be slashing smoke if the unit's hitbox shifts to the empty space outside his arm.
 * Phantasm – the unit always has 9 illusions of itself; when one illusion is destroyed, another one immediately spawns; each illusion cannot cast active spells or use item actives; each illusion deals only a very small percentage of the caster’s base damage and takes massively amplified damage from enemies; the illusions take and immediately adapt into whatever form the unit takes.

Inspiration:






Gu, the Great Unmaker (Lvl 90)
''Gu is but a droplet of the one true Eternal Unmaker. Bound to the service of the Great Ones who sought to nurture creation, in the capacity of a correction –err fluid to be precise– there’s not a thing in creation Gu can’t unmake. Innocent and goofy looking in its non-combat state, Gu still exudes decay and, when called to battle, it assumes its true form: shapeless, eternal cosmic ooze that engulfs the enemy in a swift tidal wave that rends all bonds and devours all hope.''

Background:
The great slime Gu specializes wholly in plague and poisons and, while counters, resistances, and immunities to plagues and poisons may be the easiest –comparatively- to come by, an Elder Ooze on the classification level of [World Blight] can overpower almost everything. Gu fights with noxious fumes that burn like acid and diseases that infect and corrode even steel. Immunity or not, nothing can survive being seared from the inside out. On the defensive, Gu relies on corrosion debuffs, paired with the slime trait of being highly resistant to physical weapons, to discourage contact-based weapons and fighting styles.

Inspiration:

 * The name Gu is both a wordplay of the epithet "Great Unmaker" and the gu poison (Chinese mythology).

Memento Mori (Lvl 100)
''The Eye of Lucemine is the manifestation of the Magna’s righteous might and the indomitable enforcer of her will. Endless in scrutiny, with its light all-pervading, the Eye scours the land for evil and snuffs it wherever it may be. All evil must rush to flee or perish in heartbeat, for the Eye isn't the typical watered-down modern image of angels. It is the angels of old repute come again: indomitable, immovable, all-powerful –an absolutely fucking terrifying physical manifestation of righteous might on Earth. Its countenance is a reminder to all those who bear witness that the Light is not just some soft, benevolent force. It is a primordial force of vast power and great indifference. It will not suffer being trifled with.''

Background:
The Eye of Lucemine follows the paths of the Templar and the Inquisitor, counterparts of the paladin class with more inclination towards dishonorable means. While less powerful in a vacuum compared to the Path of the Paladin, they have less restrictions and wider array of strengths.

Mori boasts high status resistances and magic resistances, combined with self-healing, high regeneration, powerful damage steroids, and near-perfect race and class synergy to create a terrifying, nigh unstoppable holy warrior that all enemies (especially negative karma beings) must simply tuck tail and run away from.

When called to battle, Mori can alternate between two weapons designed for different opponents: [Triumph of Heaven] is used against physical-based classes because it bypasses physical defense and deals magic damage, while [Gáe Dearg] is used against mages which would have enough magic resistance but low physical defense.

Mori is the guardian of the Lumen Lattice and, therefore, indirectly guards the Repository, whose only point of access lies in the Lattice.

Classes:

 * Angel Lvl 15 –
 * Cherubim Lvl 10 –
 * Elder Cherubim Lvl 5 –
 * Holy Knight Lvl 15 –
 * Inquisitor Lvl 15 –
 * Templar Lvl 15 –
 * High Templar Lvl 10 –
 * Holy Inquisitor Lvl 10 –
 * Grand Templar Lvl 5 –

Gears:

 * Triumph of Heaven (Class: Artifact; Type: Energy Blade; Slot: Weapon) –
 * Triumph is an incorporeal blade of pure light energy: the blade can pass through solid objects and leaves no actual physical trace of its wrath, save for the bodies that either disintegrate or simply stopped moving like a puppet with its strings cut. It also can’t block or parry however.
 * Triumph deals holy-type magical damage on hit rather than physical damage and ignores physical defense but it is resisted by magic resistance.
 * Gáe Dearg (Class: Artifact; Type: Spear; Slot: Weapon) –
 * Gáe Dearg is a mage’s bane. It burns away a small set amount of an opponent’s mana both per initial hit and per second of contact afterwards and deal the amount of mana removed as bonus damage. The only small comfort a mage can take is that when there is no more mana to burn, it doesn’t deal any more bonus damage.
 * Empyrean Embrace V8EI (Class: Divine; Type: Plate Armor; Slot: Body) –
 * Lucemine had bestowed 8 different base armors to Mori, all of them named Empyrean Embrace. Variant 8A would be the final armor the Magna would bestow on her creation. The 8EI is the latest upgraded version of 8A that Eanki would implement to keep the armor highly competitive.
 * The item grants extremely high physical and magical protection. It also raises all of the user’s stats considerably.
 * Malleus Maleficarum (Class: Artifact; Type: Gauntlet; Slot: Hand) –
 * The Hammer of Witches is an artifact that would make any mage squirm. It has the ability [Seal Magic], which prevents a target from casting an active spell for three seconds. It also raises its wielder’s Constitution and Willpower and protects its wielder from a targeted single-target spell once every six seconds.

Active:

 * Divine Providence – the user turns invulnerable to all damage types for 10 seconds; 24h cooldown.
 * Divine Shield – reduces all the damage the unit receives for the next 10s based on a set percentage of her Willpower and Faith Mastery.
 * Holy Light – single-target heal/nuke; heals a living unit or damages an undead or demonic unit; heal and damage values are based on a percentage of the user’s Willpower.
 * Holy Purge – applies a [Purge] on hit, dispelling every easily dispellable positive buffs the target has; deals bonus damage to summoned units; low cooldown.
 * Judgment – deals heavy damage, with the caster’s Willpower and Faith Mastery as damage multipliers, to all enemies in a large area around the caster; deals residual damage-over-time for 5 seconds afterwards; instantly kills all lower level demonic and undead non-boss and non-hero category units; greatly increases the caster’s threat/aggro level.
 * Mass Purification – applies [Purification] on all units in the spell’s AoE; does not put [Purification] on cooldown.
 * Purification – dispels negative buffs on self or ally; when used on enemies, dispels positive buffs.
 * Reckoning – forces a target to attack the caster for a couple of seconds.
 * Righteous Might – the user increases greatly increases her threat generation.
 * Silencing Gaze – prevent the target from casting any spells for 4 seconds; dispellable with any dispel.
 * Smite – a powerful single target attack that stuns the target for 6 seconds.
 * Taunting Light – forces all nearby enemy units to attack the user for a couple of seconds.

Passive:

 * Detect Evil – the unit gains true sight of any creature with negative karma values bar the most powerful forms of invisibility.
 * Divine Blade – the unit deals a bonus holy-type magic damage, with her Willpower as multiplier, on top of her regular physical damage every time she attacks.
 * Empyrean Emissary – the unit gains immunity to demonic and death magic and abilities Tier 5 and below and gains increased resistance to the ones that are Tier 6 and above.
 * Holy Zeal – the unit gains x% haste for every evil-aligned unit nearby; buff limit of up to 5 enemies.
 * Justified – the unit gains a small increase in damage the more negative the target’s karma value is compared to the unit.
 * Vanquish Evil – the unit deals heavy increased damage to non-hero and non-boss category undead and demonic units.

Racial:

 * Benediction – grants high health regeneration, an instant self-dispel every 12 seconds and an instant heal for a set amount of value every 7 seconds.
 * Take Wing – toggle on/off; allows the unit to take flight.
 * True Form – the unit becomes invulnerable to all magic for 5 seconds; applies a powerful self-dispel.
 * Wings of Liberty – the unit turns immune to all movement restriction effects for 4 seconds.

Inspiration:

 * Sekmeth, the Eye of Ra (Egyptian mythology).





Seven Who Are One (Lvl 50)
The Seven Ribbons of Memento Mori.

Background:
The Seven eschews attack power in favor of solid defenses and prodigious amount of mana and mana regeneration. They are each armed with the [Ribbon of Hathor], an artifact class scepter that allows them to perform a channeled stun by shackling the target, which only ends once they either stop the channeling, they run out of mana, they get interrupted/killed, or when the target dies. When the seven [Ribbons of Hathor] are used together, they have the added effect of being able to shackle even a raid boss for as long as the casters have the mana to maintain the channeling spell.

The seven look the same and the only way to differentiate between them is their slight coloration tints in certain edges, matching the colors of their respective Ribbons (red for Valor, green for Viridis, yellow for Vividus, blue for Virtous, orange for Vigil, violet for Verus, indigo for Vertere). The different colors of the Ribbons are merely cosmetic effects added by the guild and serve no other purpose.

Classes:

 * Angel Level 15
 * Priest Level 15
 * Channel Level 10
 * Adept Level 10

Gears:

 * Ribbon of Hathor (Artifact Class; Scepter) – a powerful item said to be used in binding and banishing evil.
 * Erudite Circlet (Relic Class; Headgear) – provides high mana regeneration and high raw mana.
 * Pendant of Possibilities (Legendary Class; Amulet) – provides high raw mana points to the user.
 * Spidersilk Sandals (Relic Class; Footwear) – greatly enables unhindered movement.

Inspiration:

 * The seven colors of the rainbow
 * The seven metals of antiquity
 * The ribbons of the Seven Hathors, priestesses of Hathor, the kinder aspect of Sekmeth, the Eye of Ra (Egyptian mythology).

Nexus (Lvl60)
Knowledge is security

Background:
Essentially just a flavor NPC to "manage and care" for the guild's massive stockpile of data, it now acts as a repository of knowledge for the New World and the old, a chief assistant researcher, and the primary counsel in matters of academe, diplomacy, and security. Its primary job is overseeing the collection and compilation of stories in the New World in the hopes that they will provide insight into the many cultures and races, a clearer picture of the progression of their social, political, and economic aspects, as well as gathering information from the myths and legends to paint a rough canvas of the capabilities of this world.

It leads and manages the Archive, the Observatory's primary ground-based intelligence network in the New World.

Classes:

 * Automaton Lvl 15
 * Android Lvl 10
 * Runedroid Lvl 5
 * Scribe Lvl 15
 * Scholar Lvl 10
 * Luminary Lvl 5

Background:
The six intelligent NPCs were designed to “lead” the Omnishield’s security forces, for flavor reasons back in YGGDRASIL. They fulfill this directive well in the New World, to a point where Eanki is confident enough to entrust to each General an entire army and a zone of operations.

Classes:

 * Automaton Lvl 5
 * Android Lvl 1
 * Commander Lvl 9

Gears:

 * Erudite Mantle (Class: Relic; Type: Ceremonial Cloth; Slot: Armor) – increases intelligence stat.


 * Galvorn Pickelhaube+ (Class: Relic; Type: Pickelhaube; Slot: Head) – production item enchanted to increase intelligence stat; provides head protection.
 * Threadbare Cloak of Invisibility (Class: Relic; Type: Cloak; Slot: Back) – when used, turns the wearer invisible; the unit is permanently invisible unless it is attacking or casting spells which break invisibility; fade time is 9 seconds so when the unit does not attack or cast spells for 9 seconds, it automatically turns invisible again.

The Three Kveldriða (Lvl 15)
Courtesans are basic courtesy.

Background:
Funny story. During the glory years a guild member was off to get married to another member of the guild and a surprise bachelor party was set to occur within the game itself. Shenanigans were planned, money was spent, three NPCs were created for the occasion (and in anticipation of future occasions), and a groom was thoroughly embarrassed.

In the New World however, they are the only available custom NPCs Eanki could use to form an adventuring party that would not draw any undue attention, either through appearances or power levels, and so they take on new roles: fighters and adventurers.

With it come new items Eanki had chosen or ordered to be crafted for their personal use.

Classes:

 * Homunculi Lvl 5 [Racial] –
 * Courtesan Lvl 5 [Basic]

 * Black Netherdrake Choker (Class: Rare; Type: Leather Choker; Slot: Accessories)
 * The Black Netherdrake Choker is a bizarrely comfortable as a light breeze and hauntingly beautiful pitch black dragon-leather choker with faint shimmers of purple and blood red winking in and out of existence on its surface. It is crafted from the alchemically-treated leather taken from the throat area of a [Black Netherdrake].


 * Shimmersilk Slippers (Class: Uncommon; Type: Slippers; Slot: Foot)
 * The Shimmersilk Slippers are extremely comfortable, durable, and fashionably elegant and simple footwear crafted from the shimmering silk threads of the caterpillar stage of the [Matriarch Butterfly].

Gears (Adventure Persona):
All three sisters have the same five items on top of their personalized adventurer panoply.
 * Emberwyrm Boneblade (Class: Legacy; Type: Swordsword; Slot: Weapon)
 * The Emberwyrm Boneblade acts as their backup melee weapon. It deals an additional instance of elemental [Fire] damage to its attacks and has a simple enchantment that raises the user’s proficiency with one-handed blades slightly. It cannot raise the user’s proficiency with one-handed blades beyond the max value cap set by the game.


 * Iron Will (Class: Artifact; Type: Magic Ring; Slot: Ring)
 * Iron Will is a simple mithril ring adorned with an enchanted schist obtained as a quest reward from the Goddess Geyfun.

 * It increases the user’s Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, and Willpower.

Abby:
Abby your crying shoulders.

Appearance & Traits:
Abby is a pale-skinned freckled beauty with piercing blue eyes and auburn hair. She is typically the most level-headed and focused of the three, though she’s prone to fits of rage when things don’t go her way.

Gears (Adventurer Persona):

 * Runic Dreadwood Dueling Shield (Class: Legacy; Type: Dueling Shield; Slot: Two Hand Weapon/Shield Hybrid)
 * Abby’s primary weapon is a beautifully decorated dueling shield made from dreadwood enchanted with protective and strengthening runes and tipped on both ends with wicked 25cm long [Adamantite] triangular spikes.


 * Favored Gladiator’s Practice Gauntlets (Class: Uncommon; Type: Gauntlet; Slot: Hand)
 * The Favored Gladiator’s Practice Gauntlets grant the user five temporary levels in the Gladiator class as long she has it equipped. In exchange, she must temporarily give up five levels from one of her job classes, which will be returned once she takes the gauntlets off.


 * Stalwart Heart (Class: Rare; Type: Brigandine; Slot: Body)
 * Stalwart Heart is composed of a durable [Felwood Spider] spidersilk cloth base lined with [Adamantite] plates and further reinforced with magical enchantments that also increases the user’s magic resistances, mental resistances, and HP regeneration on top of increasing her physical resistances.


 * Championship Belt of Veraxes (Class: Artifact; Type: Belt; Slot: Accessories)
 * The Championship Belt of Veraxes is a low-level artifact class item from a minor tournament held during some of the earliest days of the game when items like it were considered desirable by top-end players, before major game updates slowly pushed it into obsolescence.
 * It grants the user considerable Strength and Willpower.

Candice:
Candice be the feeling when you fall in love at first sight?

Appearance & Traits:
Candice is a pale-skinned and black-haired beauty with mischievous emerald eyes. She is a quirky and funny weirdo, a terrible flirt, and is positively brimming with energy and enthusiasm, even occasionally and randomly doing a little dance sequence that involves her shaking her hips and turning gracefully in place – a real genki.

Gears (Adventurer Persona):

 * Parabellum Peashooter (Class: Artifact; Type: Magic Revolver; Slot: Weapon)
 * The Parabellum Peashooter is a relatively common yet highly valued artifact item drop. It’s a magic revolver that never runs out of ammunition, although it has to “magically reload” for four seconds after six shots are fired. The drawback is that its magically-conjured rounds deal lower damage on average and the gun itself is saddled with a measly effective range of 100m and a middling tier muzzle velocity.


 * Hawkeye Rangefinder Goggles (Class: Rare; Type: Goggles; Slot: Head)
 * The Hawkeye Rangefinder Goggles is a treasured equipment crafted for shooting enthusiasts. It aids the user by increasing her proficiency with a pistol-type weapon even without investing levels in any of the ranger classes.


 * Choice Cotton Dress Shirt (Class: Rare; Type: Cloth Armor; Slot: Body)
 * Made from cotton harvest from the [Arboris Cotton] plant, this dress shirt provides increased greatly increased magic resistance and increased defense from range weapons. It is also enchanted to raise the user’s Dexterity considerably.
 * Eaglesong Bracer (Class: Rare; Type: Bracer; Slot: Hand)
 * The Eaglesong Bracer is a leather bracer made from [Sacred Bloodred Cow] leather enchanted with fluids from a magic vial said to contain alchemically-distilled saliva of a [Stormfury Eagle].
 * It raises the user’s Dexterity, mental resistances, and marksmanship proficiency considerably.

Joanna:
Joanna be my girl tonight?

Traits:
Joanna is a pale-skinned platinum blonde with light purplish eyes. She is a terrible tease when given the chance although most of the time she’s quiet and reserved. The thing that most describes her would be a curious teen who’s been cooped up in a tower all her life and learning and dreaming about the outside world through books, a reflection of her creator who was a frail and sickly child with extremely overprotective parents and non-existent social life outside her small circle of online friends.

Gears (Adventurer Persona):

 * Touch of Malice (Class: Legacy; Type: Magic Gloves; Slot: Weapon, Main Hand)
 * Touch of Malice is modeled closely after Eanki’s own magic glove, [Magus Apex], but greatly downscaled in power levels. It’s enchanted to fire a bolt of arcane energy (of comparable level to a level 35 mage casting the 3rd tier spell [Lightning]) at a target whenever the user casts a spell against said target, in effect acting as a second passive-cast offensive spell that doesn’t cost the user mana or generate increased threat levels. This allows the user, not a very high level mage by design, to deal considerable magic damage whenever she casts say a basic [Slow] spell.


 * Touch of Mercy (Class: Rare; Type: Magic Gloves; Slot: Weapon, Offhand)
 * Touch of Mercy is a magic healing glove that restores small amount of HP in pulses every second, through physical contact. The user needs to physically touch a wounded ally to start mending said ally’s wounds. This limits the glove’s effectiveness in hectic combat but it allows the user to perform healing tasks even without investing a single level in the healer classes.


 * Freya’s Gratitude (Class: Artifact; Type: Pendant; Slot: Accessories)
 * Freya’s Gratitude is a low level artifact item acquired as a quest reward from the Goddess Freya. It lends the user five temporary levels in the Enchanter class as long she has it equipped. In exchange, she must temporarily give up five levels from one of her job classes, which will be returned once she unequips the dress.


 * Trappings of a Faerie Queen (Class: Rare; Type: Dress; Slot: Body)
 * The Trappings of a Faerie Queen is a salmon-red simple short-sleeved knee-length dress made from a [Greater Fae Spider] spidersilk. It raises the user’s physical resistances, magic resistances, and mental resistances considerably
