Durthu
Even the wisest, most ancient of gentle spirits can be bent to violence by savage, unrelenting war.Durthu is an Elder of Athel Loren, a Treeman so ancient that even Ariel's millennia-long existence pales in comparison. It was he who first forged a union between Elves and forest, and who argued with his fellow Elders that the binding be made permanent. In those days, he was ever a friend to the Children of Isha, always willing to help them broaden their understanding of forest and Weave. Alas, those days are long gone. Centuries of destruction and carnage have taken their toll on Durthu's valiant spirit. He bore witness to the rapacity of blooded life, and of the wanton destruction it has heaped upon his homeland. He has seen untold acres of trees felled for kindling or from simple spite. He has watched, time and again, as the Elves have invited calamity on the forest through an inability to sever their connection to the outside world. Worst of all, he has seen his fellow Elders fall, one by one; some slain by their own foes but most destroyed by the enemies of the Elves.

There are those who wish nothing more than to be at the heart of battle, seeking foes to vanquish. - Frenzy
Some warriors care not for their own personal safety and so work themselves into a whirlwind of destruction and mindless violence!

Strengths & Weaknesses
- Spellcaster
This unit can cast spells. - Forest Spirit
The spirits of Athel Loren are able to shrug off most mundane attacks and gain accuracy benefits when fighting in forests. - Armoured
Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage. - Armour-Piercing
The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
