Heroes of the Dungeon faction

Edit Summary: Heroes of the Dungeon faction in Heroes 5
Erin Witches' Sabbath Twilight Witches and Shadow Matriarchs have a chance to make an additional shot at the hero's target. The higher the hero's level, the greater the chance. Erin is a true daughter of the legendary Queen Tuidhana. Although Erin herself is not very proud of her lineage, preferring to be judged by her impressive abilities, the Twilight Witches and Shadow Matriarchs in her army support attacks with the fury of true fanatics.
Elaiya The "Dark Ritual" ability is enhanced, allowing the hero to absorb more mana than they normally could. The amount of additional mana depends on the hero's level. Elaiya is a Keeper of the Law for the dark elves in the Shadow-Branded clan. Therefore, her life is defined by levels of religious service, piety, and training in the art of dragon magic. A respected lady invested with power, she is devoted to her dragon goddess Malassa. Elaiya has no experience in military command; however, she relies on the reliable support of her sisters — the Twilight Witches and Shadow Matriarchs of Igg-Shaila.
Kifra Slave Owner All Minotaurs and Minotaur Guards in the hero's army receive +1 to defense and attack for every two levels of the hero, starting from the first. Kifra is one of the wealthiest heroes of Igg-Shaila. The reason for her wealth is a secret to no one — numerous minotaur slaves. They are not only the guarantee of her prosperity but also the foundation of her army, for which Kifra selects only the strongest and most ferocious warriors who have passed through the harsh school of gladiatorial combat.
Letos Poisoner Each enemy unit may enter battle already poisoned. The higher the hero's level, the greater the chance of such an outcome. Letos became famous for his ability to defeat the enemy before the battle even began. During the war for the Dungeon, many enemy warriors fell from diseases sent by Letos. Now, in peacetime, he has lost some of his abilities, but there is no doubt that, once again leading an army, he will be able to reclaim his deadly power.
Railag Terrifying The higher the hero's level, the more the initiative of enemy units in battle is reduced. Railag's past is shrouded in darkness. And although he is consistent and ruthless in battle, his plans and tactics are kept as secret as his personal history. Since he often anticipates the actions of his opponents, the latter hesitate when making decisions upon meeting him in combat.
Shadia Twilight Dancer Ranged attacks deal less damage. The amount of reduction depends on the hero's level. Fate was not kind to Shadia, the last survivor of the wars with the Hard Hearts clan. She dedicated her entire life to revenge. She studied every art that could aid her vendetta, disappearing for months, appearing only to cross paths with another enemy. Alone against hundreds, Shadia excelled in the arts of infiltration, evasion, assassination, and agility.
Sinitar Catalyst The amount of mana consumed for empowered spells is reduced by 10% + 2% per hero level. The Warlocks of Igg-Shaila are dark and gloomy sorcerers, and Sinitar stands out even among them. His power comes not only from the ability to cast spells but also from his skill in spending significantly less energy on them. No one is sure how he acquired this ability, but the ugly scars on his face speak of some cruel agreement with dragons.
Sorgall Lizard Breeder The "Lizard Bite" special attack of the riders deals more damage. The higher the hero's level, the greater the damage. The secret to Sorgall's numerous victories lies in his same treatment of the lizards that carry dark elf riders on their backs. Before every battle, Sorgall starves them, and the lizards, accustomed to raw meat, viciously bite nearby enemies, dealing additional damage.
Iranna Blood Lady Beasts and Furies in the hero's army receive +1 to defense and attack for every two levels of the hero, starting from the first. Wherever Iranna appears, she is always followed by a retinue of admirers praising her beauty. But behind the beautiful exterior hides a sophisticated mind that does not hesitate to use attraction to achieve its goals. And although Iranna has more than once sent hundreds of her followers to their deaths for the sake of victory, this has not weakened the loyalty of her warriors.
Vaishan Black Hand Scouts and Assassins in the hero's army receive +1 to defense and attack for every two levels of the hero, starting from the first. Vaishan is known for his reckless raids into Irollan, where he amuses himself by hunting his light-kin. His pride and joy is a necklace of elven ears that he wears around his neck. The reason for his hatred is unknown, but his warriors share it. Going on a hunt in the lands of the elves with Vaishan is a great honor for dark scouts and assassins, who bend over backwards to earn their commander's favor.
Irbet Dark Mystic The "Dark Ritual" ability is enhanced, allowing the hero to absorb more mana than they normally could. The amount of additional mana depends on the hero's level. Irbet was a child possessing a capacity for focus that children of her age should not have had. Like many of her kin, Irbet was trained in the art of killing, and her ability allowed her to accumulate more magical energy than ordinary mages. The night before an important battle, Irbet often spends without sleep, instead spending hours in meditation.
