Heroes of the Haven Faction

Edit Summary: Heroes of the Haven faction in Heroes 5
Dugal Archer Commander All archers and crossbowmen in the hero's army receive +1 to defense and attack for every two levels of the hero, starting from the first. Long years of military service have taught Dugal that the most important thing in war is the soldier's life, and ideally, that the enemy dies before they can deal damage to the warriors of the Griffin Empire. This is why he grew so fond of archers and dedicated many years to their training and equipment. The marksmen justify his hope, firmly believing that under Dugal's command, very little threatens their lives.
Ellaina People's Favorite All peasants and militia in the hero's army receive +1 to defense and attack for every two levels of the hero, starting from the first. Additionally, all peasants bring +1 gold daily to the kingdom's treasury beyond what is allowed by the "Taxpayer" ability. Ellaina served with honor in the imperial army during the Eclipse War and then returned to her family estate. Although she was not very skilled in management, the estate grew and prospered. Now Ellaina has returned to war, but the peasants remember her good deeds and show wonders of bravery on the battlefield under her command.
Godric Perfect Knight The effect of "Prayer" increases as the hero's level grows. Mana used to cast Light magic spells is reduced by 1 unit. Godric is rightfully considered a model knight and an example to follow. Flawless service over many years and fervent faith in the ideals of good have earned him universal respect. The troops under his leadership believe sacredly in their luck, as if Godric's mere presence on the battlefield is enough to guarantee them victory.
Iris Griffin Trainer All ordinary and royal griffins in the hero's army receive +1 to defense and attack for every two levels of the hero, starting from the first. Ordinary griffins gain the "Dive" ability. Iris's first memories are of griffins, which is not surprising as she was born into a family of griffin breeders. Iris grew up knowing everything about these proud beasts, and when the Empire called to arms, she gladly offered her knowledge and skills where they were needed. Griffins fighting on Iris's side are always healthy and obey commands well.
Isabelle Suzerain The hero donates 250 gold to the treasury daily, in exchange for which the cost of troops trained in Haven cities is reduced by 2% with each new level of the hero. Isabelle is the sole descendant of the ancient and wealthy Greyhound line. She was raised far from wars and martial feats, surrounded by numerous nannies and servants. The outbreak of war gave the young queen a chance to try her hand at a traditionally male profession. To achieve success in this field, Isabelle without hesitation uses the little she has — wealth and her high position.
Axel Knight Captain As the hero's level increases, knights and paladins in their army receive additional benefits. The effect of the "Supervision" ability increases. Axel always dreamed of winning a knightly tournament, but his low birth did not grant him such an opportunity. Therefore, when the knight whose squire he was caught a fever and could not enter the arena, the young squire, without much thought, donned his armor and competed under another name. The victory won at the tournament forced Axel to reveal his deception, but instead of the expected punishment, it brought him a knightly title and respect.
Laszlo Man-at-Arms Commander All men-at-arms and swordsmen in the hero's army receive +1 to defense and attack for every two levels of the hero, starting from the first. Laszlo fought his way up from the very bottom with grim determination, and the trials he faced hardened his heart. Scarred, stern, and ruthless, he cuts through enemy ranks like a force of nature. Laszlo's infantry, who proudly call him the "king of the battlefield," often have no choice but to follow their commander and, often accidentally, demonstrate extraordinary examples of bravery.
Mieve Windrunner The effect of the "Haste" spell increases by 1% with each new level of the hero. Mieve is a ruler devoted to her people, working desperately to prevent her doomed empire from slipping into the abyss. Trying to save the future of the collapsed Empire of Falcons while repelling an infernal invasion, Mieve has nothing to rely on but her own loyalty to the ideals of chivalry and unwavering faith in the Dragon of Light.
Rutger Wayfinder The hero's movement range increases by 1% for every two levels of the hero. Before the call to arms brought Rutger into the military ranks of the Duchy of the Wolf of the Griffin Empire, he was known to most as a vagabond and traveler. Using knowledge acquired in his more carefree years, Rutger leads his troops along familiar paths to increase movement speed. For the sooner he ends the war, the sooner he can return to the roads that seem to call him.
Vittorio Siege Engineer Ballistas receive +1 to attack for every two levels of the hero. The chance of a catapult hitting a wall increases by 2% for each level of the hero. A veteran of many clashes with the noisy Free Cities along the southeastern border of the Griffin Empire, Vittorio has excelled in the art of siege like no other. He spent years perfecting the use of siege engines, firmly believing that this could save countless lives of Griffons. Although his original designs sometimes provided unexpected surprises for the squads, indeed no one was able to surpass them.
