In addition to their shy and lone nature (that makes them very skilled in hiding and ambushes), these warriors have in common the choice of the forest as their habitat; some forced to it, others for their own will. The members of this group are mainly legendary creatures, whose existence is still ignored by some. Indeed those who had met this army rarely had such a long life to be able to tell it! Many legends are told about some of them, wherein sometimes they are evil wizards who draw their prey where they can be lethal (into the wood), other times they are told as good creatures living a nature-friendly and cheerful life. However, wise travelers usually avoid those places where the shadow of the trees eats the light and thousands glittering eyes are seen in the dark: sometimes to reveal the hidden in legends arcane can be a fatal error."

| − | The Arendians are a nomadic culture, living in clans that move around following the herds of game animals which roam the Arendian plains, which lie to the north of the land of Lavinia. They do however have a few permanent settlements for trade reasons.<br>Despite their nomadic culture they have a king and royal family, whose origins came from one of their warriors of myth, who slew the greatest dragon to blacken the Old Continent's skies, Gresh. In achieving this he united the clans into one nation and founded Arendia as it is today.<br>The Arendians people are obsessed with honour and bravery, to the extent of throwing out people who break their word, commit adultery, or flee from battles, these lone wanderers roam the lands attempting to redeem themselves in the eyes of their people.

| − | When the Orcs first arrived in the lands north of Wesnoth, many Elves were forced to flee their ancient homes. While some crossed the ocean to the north of the Old Continent, most took refuge in the forests that have ever since housed the North Elves. Adjusting gradually to their new environment, these Elves survived and their descendants became quite adept at survival in the arctic wastes. They have become great hunters and skilled beast-tamers, and have developed some highly specialized units that maximize their snowy, icy environment.

Having to defend themselves against all foes they are as strong and hardy as any and fear is no barrier to them.<br>The Marauders' lone ally is the North Elves, and they are only allies because any war between them would be fruitless and a waste of lives, and because of their mutual enemy, the Wild Elves.

| − | The nation living in a few cities in the sky called flying Isles. These cities seem like clouds from the ground and are even magicaly hidden, so no flyers can come so near to the cloud, that they would be able to recognise them as cities. Their only enemy was the race of silver drakes (faction to be done after this one). These creatures found out the way to get through the magic barrier of the cities and found them a very good place to settle new nests. So the long fight began. Even with their excellent knowledge of magic the fight didnt seem to come to the good end. The high council of Eltireans decided to send some of the people to the surface to make new settlements in case sky cities will fall to the enemy`s hands. Eltire, patron of Eltireans, former mage of light, who possesed so incredible power that he became the half god in the form of pure light, agreed to use his magic to open the gate for the people to get to the surface. It was decided to send mostly young people lead by some of the patriarchs. They were given all the necessary equipment, weapons, food and scrolls containing knowledge of the nation and finally set for the long journey.
