Knight

Knights are always high ranking soldiers in a countries army and always come from Nobility, or at least a Units commander would be. Knights, being far richer then the standard soldier usually fight on horse back, and are trained in use of Sword & Shield (Hammer or Axe for Dwarves), lance, mace and usually bows or crossbows. Humans are very well known for their knights, while Dwarves keep many battalions that ride war ponies. Elves, prefering to fight from hidden locations and on foot for graceful movement, generally to not field something that can be called a Knight.
Knights, being lords and leaders, are loyal to a King of some sort (Or Kaizer for the humans). The Knights are broken up into Chapters, with the head of each Chapter being a Grand Master, the highest ranking Knight in each major city, who reports directly to his Monarch. Each Faction has a Major Chapter house, the humans being in Leuchtfeuer, the Dwarves in the city of Ironside (new chapter house's are set whenever Leadership of the Dwarves changes). The head Chapter House of each faction is usually referred to as the Major Chapter House, with other cities having Minors. Major Chapter houses, and as such the Order in general, are governed by a council of Grand Masters.

Mord-Sith

The Mord-Sith are an elite group of women warriors originating from Torundien. They were created to defend the Queen Dark Elf, from creatures or people with strong enchanting magic. A Mord-Sith has the unique ability to 'capture' others' magic and use it against them.
A Mord-Sith is selected from the gentlest and kindest girls in Torundien and is trained from a young age on three levels. Each time, she must be "broken." The first breaking is a time during which she is tortured to the point of obedience so strong that she would do absolutely anything her mistress tells her, without question or hesitation. This part of the training breaks her of her sense of self and personal desires. During the second breaking, she is forced to watch as her teacher slowly and brutally tortures her father to death. This is to break her of compassion. The third, and arguably the most difficult, breaking is when she is given the instrument of torture and must inflict pain and suffering upon her own Mother until she finally kills her. When she has completed this task, the Dark Elf Queen instills in her the magical ability to take the magic of anyone who uses magic against her. Once a magical being uses magic against a Mord-Sith, she can inflict intense pain upon him/her with by expending a fair amount of energy depending on the spell.
Mord-Sith wear their hair in a single, long braid and skin-tight leather outfits. They usually wear brown leather, but when they are training a captive, they wear red, because it hides the blood of their victims better. When a Mord-Sith has broken a victim, and has him completely obedient to her whim, she wears white. The leather uniform always has a crescent and a star on it, as the symbol of the Mord-Sith. The only weapon they carry is an Agiel, which has the power to inflict unbearable pain, or be used to beat their victim to death. An Agiel appears simple; It is a plain red rod, about a foot long, and about as thick as a finger. It also inflicts pain on the Mord-Sith in charge of the torture. Mord-Sith use the same Agiel that was used on them in their training. In addition to her Agiel, a Mord-Sith may wear armored gloves with spikes on the back when training a captive.

[/center]
Sorcerers are an order of male Wizards, headed by a Arch Wizard.

Once in a blue moon will Wizards allow women to join their ranks. These women are known as Sorceresses. This is so rare an occurrence because the women who have joined the order haven grown mad with their own power and left the order in favor of becoming siren, seducing men and taking their riches or in some cases their kingdoms or titles. Often women who do not become sirens have found that their magic drains them to the point of becoming an ugly hag Witch. Usually after they become witches their magic is weak, and they are unable to remain in the order of Sorcerers. After this they usually take to haunting small towns as a local magician or grow bitter hand take to the marsh lands casting spells on those they feel have wronged them.
