Which faction do you like the most?

The dark elves will be almost a copy of those by R.A. Salvatore! I wonder, will they have a spider queen-goddess, Los?

No, instead of her, there is Malassa - a dragon of Darkness. But matriarchy is present - men fight, while women hold political and religious power.

And in the world of Heroes 5, necromancers worship the Mother-Spider, they even have spider tattoos :)
