Biography
Khariseth was born from Murmurwoods’ first betrayal, formed from insects that gorged on mana in Taviola’s wake.
Exiled but empowered, they formed a crude collective, drawn to the Dragonfly King’s call. To wield their stolen magic, they needed an identity. Using a piece of knowledge taken from the forest, they adopted the name “Khariseth.” Now compressed into a humanoid form, they are a hivemind within the Hive, consuming and wielding stolen energies, forever hungry for more.
Specialization
They receive +1 level to all Primal spells, plus another +1 for every 10 hero levels. Casting Primal spells does not prevent them from using other spells of the same Magic School. Enemy hero cannot cast Primal spells.
