The balladier is, first and foremost, a storyteller and in every culture there is need of one. In some areas of Novendragos, like Daremia, the balladier takes on a more dominating role and defines a good portion of the culture. In Daremia there are even well known troupes that travel to various lands spreading mirth and tales of daring-do.

The militant is a master-at-arms. He wields his weapons with tremendous efficacy. Militants are common throughout Novendragos and many have taken various positions in their careers. Some have been soldiers while others have been mercenaries. Some have mastered unarmed combat while others have mastered pistols, rifles, and even carbines.
The psions admonished the power of the gods in the belief that man itself held power. They admonished too the power of the elements believing it an outside power to be manipulated rather than coming from within. Therefore they studied the power of the mind and learned to use what was within to manipulate that which was without. It was partially through their teachings that the battleminds turned against the Knights of Man and broke away from Gadorak. Naturally they are found largely in Nasivar.
