Heroes
- Noble
The basic Wood Elf Hero Choice. He is similar to a Highborn, but with lower status, both on the battlefield and off. He can also choose a kindred for an additional points cost, but he cannot be mounted on a dragon, and can't take as many magical items or spites as the Highborn. However, he is still a valuable addition to an army. Also, he can be chosen to carry the army battle standard, becoming a beacon for the elves in the near vicinity.
- Spellsinger
The Spellsinger is the basic wizard in the elven ranks. They can, like the Spellweavers, take the Glamourweave Kindred. Unlike the Spellweavers, the Spellsingers are limited to the Lore of Athel Loren. For an extra point cost, the spellsinger can be upgraded to a higher level wizard.
- Branchwraith
Branchwraiths are the most powerful dryads. They are only slightly more proficient than dryads in combat, but they can be upgraded to low-level wizards, making them an expensive, but much more durable alternative to the spellsingers. They have the added advantage of being a hero, allowing them to purchase spites (but like the treeman ancients, Branchwraiths may not wield magical artifacts.).

Famous quotes containing the word heroes:
“Resistance is feasible even for those who are not heroes by nature, and it is an obligation, I believe, for those who fear the consequences and detest the reality of the attempt to impose American hegemony.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“The heroes and discoverers have found true more than was previously believed, only when they were expecting and dreaming of something more than their contemporaries dreamed of, or even themselves discovered, that is, when they were in a frame of mind fitted to behold the truth. Referred to the world’s standard, they are always insane. Even savages have indirectly surmised as much.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What is our task? To make Britain a fit country for heroes to live in.”
—David Lloyd George (1863–1945)
