Unfortunately, a civil war within the Paladins Order forces the character to seek out the Archenemy Evils in the West and defeat them once and for all.

Necromancer (A-Tier)
Necromancers study the “Greater Cycle”. As such, these magicians gradually honed the power to link life and death and death to life.

Druid (B-Tier)
Druids specialize in manipulating nature and wildlife. Despite being relatives of the barbarians, the druids have remarkable control over nature. They can gather the power of wind and surrounding plants and take the form of animals.
