Biography: Originating from the continent of Karillis along with the Viziers and the extinct Kaamos, the Centurions are brutish, barbaric and would have never been able to unite under a single leader unless an outside force helped them.

Many teachers from the Viziers had arrived at the Centurion lands, teaching them the concepts science, diplomacy, martial arts and magic. Although the Centurions were a bad union, they were certainly good learners, As they learned everything the Viziers had taught them. However, when the Centurions had finally managed to unite, it became clear that they wish to use their newfound knowledge for conquest and domination. The Centurion army had assaulted it's neighbor races, the Viziers and the Kaamos at the same time. The Kaamos proved no match for the Centurions, and the Emperor of the Centurions ordered their extinction, the Centurions had slaughtered every single Kaamos on Karillis. Fearing they would be next, the Viziers had fled from Karrilis through the sea. Seeking the extinction of the Viziers also, the Centurion Emperor commanded it's entire population to chase after the Viziers.

Biography: Viziers are an ancient race from Karillis and quite possibly the most ancient civilization in the history of Karillis. The Viziers, with their ability to innovate and unite, have became the dominant species of Karillis generations ago. The Viziers are experts in all forms of magic, even the dark ones. Including, fel and unholy magic. However, they had preferred spiritual magic above all other magic forms, regarding the spiritual magic as the purest and the least corrupted form of magic. The overall attitude of the Viziers were kind, peace-loving and helpful to the lesser races. But their helpful attitude soon became the end of their generations-long legacy on Karillis. The war against the Centurion was a costly one for the Viziers. The boastful 60 million population of the Viziers were reduced to 20 million from the skirmishes. Realizing that the victor of the war is inevitable unless they flee, the Prophet Morlesque decided to take his people across the seas to the nearest continent available, leading the Viziers to Terranael. Obviously seeking no conflict at a new land, the Viziers decided to hide themselves from the sight of the Humans. However, the secrecy of the Viziers were soon revealed by certain careless civilians. However, instead of declaring war, the Humans welcomed them with great interest. The Viziers had set up a very stable civilization in a short time before the Centurions invaded. The Viziers loved Terranael, they wanted to continue their legacy there. But, the invasion of the Centurions and the betrayal of the Humans had pulled them to the sorrows of war again...
The Legion of Ohmus
Government Type: Psycharchy

Magical Preference: Unholy Magic

Biography: The Ohmus are in a way, the "descendants" of the extinct Kaamos. Albeit a gruesome one. When the Centurions led the Kaamos to extinction, the strongest necromancers of Kaamos have managed to escape from their clutches. Seeking revenge for their people, the necromancers used their might to revive every single Kaamos that had fallen against the Centurions into undead. Forming an army of undead counted by millions, the necromancers had led them to against the Centurions in an ambush attack. The Ohmus had destroyed 3 Centurion cities, expanding their army from the fallen cadavers of the Centurions. The Centurion Emperor who had realized the Ohmus will destroy them at this rate, decided to escape the Ohmus while chasing after the Viziers at the same time. But the necromancers wouldn't easily give chase to the Centurions. The necromancers directed the Ohmus to follow the Centurions underground, hidden from their eyes. As an undead requires no air to breathe, the task was rather easy for the Ohmus. The Centurion ships had no idea that an army of corpses were stalking them from the underground, the thought would have been scary to imagine. 3 days after the Centurions landed at Terranael, the Ohmus ambushed them again. Managing to inflict massive casualties again, the Ohmus took themselves back to the sea, waiting to ambush the Centurions again from where they don't know, but this time would be the last...
