The Scorching

Four Factions. One Grief.

A thousand years ago a fallen star shattered a peaceful age into four warring factions — each frozen in a different stage of mourning. They have killed each other ever since. Every one of them guards the same four-pointed symbol. None of them will say why.

Verdant RotSurrender

A fungal hive-mind forest that chose to be absorbed rather than remember — peace through surrender of the self.

Iron HollowObsession

Forge-folk who hoard the old world in vaults of iron, every relic catalogued. They cannot let the past die.

Ashen CovenantRage

A fire-cult convinced the burning was holy — that the world must finish what the fallen star began.

Drowned CourtDenial

A sunken kingdom that pretends the catastrophe never came, holding court beneath the waves.

Champion Roster

March Under Any Banner

30 champions drawn from all five factions — tanks, DPS, controllers, and support. Train them in your Barracks and field them beside your hero.
