Fahim.
For a long time, the name of this young man was well-known to all the teachers of the advanced courses at the Al-Safir Academy of Magic. The boy was called a genius, an indigo child; he was particularly receptive to the spiritual side of the world and could easily embark on a journey into the spirit world. Fahim absorbed new knowledge incredibly quickly, and soon he grew tired of the academy's libraries. By nature, he was restless and craved other ways of learning, faster and less boring ones. Fahim became a famous archaeologist, discovering many ancient ruins of Shantir. From each of his expeditions, he brings not only memorable souvenirs but also new spells invented by the priests of the ancient civilization.
Farid.
Oppressed in his homeland, an unrecognized stonemason and sculptor decided to move to the Silver Cities, where a person is judged not by the degree of his faith, but by his own skills and abilities. Farid faced another disappointment; the mages only made fun of the unfortunate sculptor, who had to waste his hidden talent on toys and building ornaments in order to earn a living. The life of the stonemason changed dramatically when he was lucky enough to find a genie's lamp, which he picked up by chance at the market. Farid befriended the spirit of magic; it showed an incomprehensible sympathy for the man and even taught him the basics of magic, which came in handy for the sculptor in his work. Unfortunately, during an organized rebellion of the necromancer sect, the genie died, saving his master from the deadly spell of the death priest. Farid vowed to find this necromancer and make him pay. And these were not empty words. Now Farid has his own army – an army of obedient gargoyles, of which he has become a master, finally revealing his gift.
Iona.
Iona is a genie, an elemental of magic, and one of the most powerful of her kind. She has survived many wars, including the civil war with the necromancers and the War of the Broken Staff; she witnessed how Erish turned into a barren plain, where there is no place for life. And the reason for this was the monstrous spells that the mages unleashed on the innocent land. Iona became disillusioned with her mage allies, who thoughtlessly used destructive magic of such power to defeat their enemy, as it cost many sorcerers their lives. She began to actively promote the ideology that the knowledge of a mage and his magical skills must be in balance; it was forbidden to use spells that were beyond the mage's control, or to squeeze out the last remnants of mana to create spells. Iona decided to start with herself and became an infectious example of combining strength and reason for others.
Ksuda.
The fifth High King of the Elves, Alaron, led his kingdom towards other peoples of Ashan, deciding to restore old ties. Under him, trade with the elven border became very profitable for merchants from distant lands, and after the elven army supported the mages in the war against the necromancers, the Silver League sent its embassy to the forests of Irollan. The strangers were received cautiously but hospitably, and since then strong relations have developed between the two countries. Ksuda became a member of one such embassy. During her stay abroad, she met a young and ambitious elven scout who possessed unparalleled search skills. Before the seasons had time to change, the two became lovers and soon married. Unfortunately, the dark elves caught the scout by surprise and killed him. But his work lives on in Ksuda, who inherited her husband's phenomenal tracking skills.
Kubera.
Kubera is an example of how, thanks to an army, a girl of low birth can achieve unprecedented heights and become famous throughout the country. As a girl, she loved to sneak into the training grounds of the rakshasa, whom she admired. As she grew older, she gathered the courage to follow the rakshasa on training hunts. The beastmen, of course, sensed the girl and had time to become attached to her constant peeking at the training sessions, and decided to joke a little with the girl and see what she was made of. For an entire day, she managed to hide in the canyon, remembering all the techniques she had seen day after day for so many years. In the end, she managed to break away from the pursuit thanks to a lucky coincidence: a landslide blocked the path of the rakshasa. The warriors found the exhausted Kubera at the bottom of the canyon and pulled her out of there. Excessively offended, but at the same time proud that the young girl had managed to outwit the elite of the mage army, the rakshasa recognized her supremacy over them. Soon, Kubera earned not only the respect of the beastmen but also the mages, who did not understand how she got along with the "wild cats."

Constructive (and not so constructive) criticism is welcome. Timkhana will not be available yet; I intend to write a separate, thorough biography for him (longer than the biographies of the heroes described above).
