Now, I will describe a new hero class: the Headmistress of the Cloud Tower. There is only one hero in this class – Ilgdrassil. This time, I will follow the fair hero rules.

Main characteristics:

Attack: 1 (20%)
Defense: 0 (10%)
Magic: 2 (40%)
Knowledge: 2 (30%)

Army:
Ilgdrassil's Rank and File (16–22)
Sharpshooters (9–11)
Iron Warriors (0–2)

Racial Skill:
Soul Collection (10%). Ilgdrassil's unique skill, Torrenlavar. Allows her to collect the souls of slain creatures after a battle to increase creature growth in Cloud Tower cities. Basic: first 4 levels of creatures; advanced: five levels; expert: six levels; master: all levels.
Racial Abilities:
Relic Master. Ilgdrassil gains the ability to create the most powerful relic artifacts at a high cost of rare resources in the Torrenlavar Forge.
Ilgdrassil's Mark. This ability allows the heroine to bind enemy creatures with destructive magic. When a marked unit is hit, a random Chaos spell of 1–2 circles is cast on it. If there is not enough mana, or a physical attack or spell is cast by the heroine herself, the effect will not work.
Soul Sacrifice. There is a 20% chance that some of the souls will go to Ilgdrassil herself and increase her characteristics.
Death and Decay (absolute ability). At the very beginning of the battle, Ilgdrassil casts a super-powerful black spell, dealing 2000 damage and inflicting a curse for 5 turns, killing 10% of the creatures per turn. Requirements: Energetic Mentality, Dark Ballista, Soul Luck (in "Lords of the Realm" – Plunder, Shifting Mana, Inner Flame).

Special Abilities:

Attack (10%)
Dark Steel. This ability enchants the weapons of Ilgdrassil's army, so that her units deal an additional 10% damage and have a 10% chance to cast a random Darkness spell of the first three circles on the target. Requirements: Battle Frenzy (in "Lords of the Realm" – Curse Master).
Hypersonic Duel. At the beginning of the battle, one of the units in Ilgdrassil's army gains the effect of the "Knightly Charge" ability, enhanced by a factor of two, and moves across the entire battlefield. It only works once per battle and disappears after an attack, the "Defense" command, casting spells, etc. Requirements: Dark Steel, Radiant Speed (in ToE – Battle Frenzy, Tactics).
Defense (8%)
Dancing in Twilight. Ilgdrassil has excelled in the art of dodging enemy arrows. All her troops receive only half the damage from ranged attacks. Requirements: Dodge.
Serpentine Agility. Ilgdrassil has reached the highest level in dodging arrows and projectiles. Creatures have a 30% chance to avoid shots fired by the enemy. Requirements: Dancing in Twilight, Relic Master (in the second expansion – Dodge, Endurance).
