The Order of Atrum Veneficus

Atrum Veneficus, once a proud nation of magis and warriors, now a group of survivors running from a burning land. Along with the beaten nations of Arian and Kyanon they scoured the world for anew land to call thier own and they found Elysium. Many of thier leaders are dead but Sorac and his brother Karos still live. Along with the economic adviser Otoen Nightseer and High Lord General Rictas Konyn.

The government has taken quite a hit as most of the advisers of atrum venenficus were kill in the war with lux lucis on spero. The government has been re arranged to have four orders that take care of aspects within atrum and they all report back to Sorac Ivory-Wolf. Each of these orders is headed by a surviving adviser of important person within Atrum Veneficus.

The Order of Shade
Headed by Otoen Nightseer, now known as the Lord of Shade ,the Order of Shade takes care of the infrastructure of Atrum Veneficus, schools, roads, public places such as temples and library's, and housing. They also closely handle the economy trying to find a way to kick up atrum's old power house industry, the mining of precious metals. Being right near the mountains aids in this but without technology and because many magis were killed finding the ores has become more difficult than before. Progress is being made on this front though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoMrkPLBuCs&feature=related

The Order of Flame
Headed by High Lord General Rictas Konyn, now referred to as the Lord of Fire, this is the main military order. All of the branches of military come under this order. At the moment the military is not large so he doesnt have much to take care of but because of the recent discovery in ancient texts under study by priests in the order of Mahere the amount of summoner spells has increased and the military is now training many of its summoner to be able to summon larger strike forces to make up for the lack of military power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBy7R8QNQSY

The Order of Dragon

Headed by Aisha Clan Clan, now known as the Lady of Dragons, this is the order dedicated to the security of the Novus Atrum. They are the homeland security division and will be rarely called to battle outside of the cities defense. Unlike the name suggests this is not the main branch that dragon riders belong too, but the Dragon symbolizes Atrum and its protective friends and steeds so the order was named after them, honoring those that died defending Atrum with everything they had. Such as Hell Stinger and a number of others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srksyQmMCag&feature=related


The Order of Retribution
Headed by Karos Ivory-Wolf, now Known as the Lord of Retribution, is the main group for the Elite Night walkers, the Umbra guard, the four surviving perseus soldiers that reside in atrum ,and the remnants of the Brother Hood. This group is mainly secret service and more undercover strike missions. This group also will cater to the few sword magis who have the berserk power, they are used as super soldiers, sent in leading groups of legio or summoners to annihilate enemy threats with extreme prejudice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHWPJbn9na0

There are many spells in atrum veneficus, many different types of summons, and many different effects caused by such creatures and spells. Below listed are some of the more well known spells of atrum veneficus, and their night chants ((spell names are in bold, if it has a specifics name, pictures soon to bed added))

Hounds of Noxia rise forth, Hounds of war rage onward, dealers of bloodshed sharpen your claws: Summons a pack of the Hounds of Noxia

Demon of flesh, incarnation of flame, burn the templars in our way, in the night, your wings take flight. Bring the darkness, destroy their light: Summons a Nexio Envoy

In the night and flames forever flow, is there anything more beautiful than a death for show: creates a river like flow of darkness and fire than will engulf and tear apart and/or burn the target

to suffer and die the fate of men, to whither and lie, for in their hearts, fear does reside: sends a person into a frenzied state of irrational fear or insanity

Truth and temperance, upon this sinful wall of dreams unleash the wrath of your claws: pretty much a magikal truth serum

Inferno and pandemonium, the night barrier surges, march on to hell: creates a sphere of black fire than engulfs an area and spreads when water placed on it, it goes out at the command or death of the caster.

Black dog of hell, look upon yourself with hatred and claw at your own throat! *no name just chant*: causes insanity in some of the people who walk on top of cursed ground.

Black dogs of hell, look upon yourselves with horror, and drown in your own blood! *no name*: causes paralysis and massive amounts of pain, may cause internal bleeding

Wayward souls be caught in torment, Umbra Flamma Cannon! : Sends out a burst of black energy that resembles fire, with chant, incredibly powerful, without lower level spell. Power depends on strength of caster

Hounds of the shade, Rise up, and let your packs run wild: summons pack of Shade Hounds

Wolves of the shadow, rise up, let your howls pierce the night, and your jaws rip the light: Summons a pack of Shadow Wolves

Living Inferno, emissary of the king god pyliel, burn a path for his children of eternal night: Summons a Fire Emissary

Reapers of the souls, rise from the grave, farmers of the spirts raise your sickles, herders of the shades raise your heads, Dark reapers come forth: Spells summons ten dark reapers

The demon twelve the hell hounds Our name is legion, for we are many spirits in one to bring a land of chaos straight forward from the abyss Our name is legion, and we bring destruction and death: Summons the dreaded demon twelve, or the hell hounds, also known as legion. Arkenfel is the only magis known to be able to summon and control them. This summon, many kyanites may have come to fear.

Sorac and Karos will also one day write the next chapters in the book, telling of thier struggles and the blessings of the Night Gods.

The Book of Karasen

((more to come))

A group of five high level magis with the aptitude for high level summoning and necromancy were picked from the ranks of atrum veneficus and taught by arkenfel himself the arts of controlling the creatures of out-world and bringing the dead back to life as your servants and soldiers. They are known as the mortuus ludicer or Arbiters of the Dead. They are under the command of Karos Ivorywolf and the Order of Retribution.

Lelna Ice-Flame, leader of the Mortuus Ludicer
Lelna is from a lesser known clan, completely without noble or royal blood ties. She was a low ranking Legio soldier in a understaffed support legion, so her skills were of not known of in any corner of the small empire. During the Lux Lucis invasion of Spero, now known in the empire as "secundus pello" or second exile, her legion was nearly wiped out trying to hold the defenses on spero's closest coast, but her and one other magis along with a team of 6 drui held the beach for 4 days against incoming legions of Lux Lucis forces, covering atrum's retreat into drui territory. Once the nations left spero and got to the new land of elysium, her name was known by the survivors as the "Archer of Cold Fire". She was sought out by Karos Ivory-wolf as he organized a elite squad of warriors.


Akada Blood-Blade, Warrior mage of Mortuus Ludicer
Akada was the youngest girl of a noble family close to the Ivory-Wolfs in blood, but far enough so she was far from being assured enough power to become a government official. And being the youngest her place in the family was not very influential. So she spent her time perfecting the art of physical magic and the sword arts, and one day she left her families estate and joined the 501st legion. Under the command of Lord General BattleShade she became a powerful and feared warrior. During the invasion she was stationed to help a small unknown legion hold the beach nearest to atrum to cover their retreat into drui. Once the nations left spero and got to the new land of elysium, she became known as the "Bloody Dirge". She was sought out by Karos Ivory-wolf as he organized a elite squad of warriors.

Nitak Flame-Grave, Necromancer of Mortuus Ludicer

Nakadrah Shadow-Falcon, Summoner of Mortuus Ludicer

Four perseus soldiers are living in atrum, under the command of Azero they act as special forces.

"Perseus soldiers are never 'killed in action' just missing."

leader of the perseus squad

perseus squad scout expert

perseus demolitions expert

perseus heavy weapons expert

Though there are a small group of Drui living inside of Atrum right now, only two are very notable to the world at large, Cloch, and Lasain.
