EVERFORGE LEGACY
Chapter 1 has 15 story characters you can recruit as Trusts, five on each path. Finish their quests, call up to two to your side, or go alone. They join skillchains and magic bursts, and fights stay balanced for one hero. The line under each name is what they say when you call them.
Warrior · Tank
One of your oldest friends on the Highland Plateau. Thirty years at the same work and proud of it, Haldrek is also the first to ask for help when something is wrong beneath the stone.
“Like old times, then. What needs fixing?”
Monk · Melee damage
A Dwarven brawler posted on the far side of the Highland Plateau to watch the road to Silkfallen Cavern. He keeps count of everything, and he hates waiting.
“Finally. I was sick of waiting.”
Red Mage · Support
Archivist of the Highland Plateau's memorial hall for thirty-one years, and the living authority on the Forgeborn. She came to check one footnote and never left.
“One footnote, then. I'll keep the record.”
White Mage · Healer
A human mercenary from an outpost in the Corrupted Waste, sent ahead to the Highland Plateau to be capable on the ground. Cassia Wrent is the name she uses here.
“Cassia Wrent, at your service. For today, anyway.”
Thief · Melee damage
A Dark Elf tracker who has been the Dwarves' eyes and ears in the Blackgrim Wetlands. Since the trolls took Thessaly from him, he watches the marsh for one quarry above all.
“I'll take point. I know this kind of ground.”
Black Mage · Caster
A junior priestess of the Silvercrest Enclave who stopped praying after something in the Grove spoke her name. The prayers went quiet. The other spells did not.
“The prayers have gone quiet, but the fire still answers. Let's go.”
White Mage · Healer
A priestess of the Silvercrest Enclave who tended the graveyard flower beds until the dead came up through them. She is frightened and apologetic, and steadier with a wound than with anything else.
“Sorry, I'm here! I'll keep you patched up.”
Warrior · Tank
Ranger General of the Silvercrest Enclave and the Grove's sworn protector. She keeps a soldier's records and a soldier's habits, and she has assigned herself to you.
“Silverleaf, reporting. Give me your orders.”
Thief · Melee damage
An elven thief who haunts the Silvercrest Grove. Ki prefers to be behind whatever you are facing, and he pockets anything that glitters on the way.
“I've been behind them for a while. You didn't notice?”
Red Mage · Support
A red mage posted to the Elven outpost in the Tutik Rainforest, where there are too many things that bite and too few people to stop them. Practical about rations, and about recruits.
“Fine. Bring rations, and try not to get bitten.”
Paladin · Tank
Leader of the Ironrise, though she would never claim the title. A Drift Dwarf paladin who makes decisions quickly and stands behind them. Her arm still remembers the Frozen Cliff.
“The Ironrise is with you. Tell me where to stand.”
Warrior · Tank
The Ironrise's warrior. Broad, dependable and short on words, he held a ruined waystation in the Miram Drift alone for two days rather than give it up.
“I'm here. Point me at it.”
Black Mage · Caster
The Ironrise's youngest, an elven black mage with more raw power than confidence. The Frozen Cliff shook him badly, and he is still learning what he can do.
“I'm ready, I think. Let's go before I change my mind.”
Thief · Melee damage
The Ironrise's thief: quick, sardonic and always taking notes. Rowan records exits, layouts, faces and debts owed, and he sketched the Frozen Cliff while pinned behind a fallen pillar.
“Exits noted. Let's see what you'll owe me this time.”
White Mage · Healer
The Ironrise's white mage. Quiet and careful, Senne notices what others dismiss. She heard the witches singing in the Frozen Cliff before anyone believed her.
“I'm listening. Stay where I can reach you.”
Trusts from later chapters are planned. I will announce them in the patch notes.
