Jonas Schneider was a great man of his time, and although his methods could sometimes be called vile, dishonorable, or even inhuman, he followed the right path for the sake of achieving stability and peace among people. At least, that is what he sincerely believed. It was difficult to determine how it actually was, but what can be said for certain is that this man left a great mark on history. He considered the Emperor of the Ataraxian Empire true evil and wished to "free the Ataraxians from slavery and the influence of a lying sorcerer who called himself a god." When he achieved his goal and became the leader of two kingdoms — Vironia and Helligkait, the war with the Ataraxians did not end and continued for another year and a half until the Emperor mysteriously died. No one knows how it happened or what caused it, but there is no doubt that Schneider himself had a hand in it. He himself died a month later from an unknown illness that tormented him for several weeks. Nevertheless, all kingdoms celebrated the victory over the empire.
But what can be said about the "liberated"? For them, strangely enough, everything turned out to be far worse than one could have imagined. Without a single leader, the empire collapsed into numerous independent city-states, and its inhabitants were met with chaos, war, fear, hunger, moral decay, and senseless violence. But within all this was something even more terrible. For millennia, the Empire had protected ordinary mortals from the Abyss and its inhabitants, and although the state collapsed, the warriors did not leave their posts, but now they had nowhere to expect resources or new recruits. Fifteen long years passed before the last of them stopped breathing.
By this time, significant changes had occurred in the world again. A representative of the old Tirian dynasty freed his people from the influence of the Dungeon, and then united all nine kingdoms under his banner. And when the last of the kings was overthrown, he received news of the spawns of the abyss, and now he had to stand against its full power...

Yakov Rosenstein
This man was the treasurer under the previous king of Helligkait, and in any matter involving a coin, he showed extraordinary talent. After the events in the Haven of Valkyries, he agreed to accept the Ataraxian faith, to which emissary Aniruddha replied that he saw no sincerity in his soul, and told him to rethink his worldview and return to him a few days later. That same night, Yakov gathered all his savings and headed north, where he appeared before the king of Vironia. In response to an oath of loyalty, Vironis called him a prostitute, ordered him to be whipped, have his tongue cut out, and be put in stocks. When Jonas Schneider liberated Vironia from its king, he also saved this man. Seeing talent in him, he appointed him to his council. And now, years later, this man has become the treasurer for the new king...

Mariet
Also known as Queen Mariet. The Clans of the moon's chosen always feuded with each other and the land of the children of the sun, and this always saddened this woman.

After losing all her ties to the order, she directed all her strength toward creating a stable peace, and over time she succeeded. The moon's chosen and the children of the sun united under her leadership. When news reached her about the invasion of the forces of the Abyss, she decided to help King Vsevolod, as she understood that if the horde won, her people could be the next victim.

Karl von Liebenberg
Over the last twenty years, the noble dynasties of Helligkait have lost all influence, and therefore few remember this man. His father was the first warden of the Order of Black Ice, and he was a pupil of the Count of Red Cliff. One died in the line of duty, while the other was executed for treason. Karl was also wanted, then still for relatively minor crimes, but he never let himself be caught. Now, no longer just a blue-blooded youth, but a man, he represents a much greater threat than before.
