===Pathwalkers===
There is a cry across the shattered land of Eredane, one that cannot be heard by mortal ears. The spirits of the land itself are wracked by the pain of Izrador’s triumph and by the vampiric lust with which he drains the magic from the world. Some say that Aryth herself is responding to the Shadow’s rape of all life and energy. She cannot do so directly, they say, and she has therefore chosen messengers, warriors and champions of her cause. <br> Others suggest that these adventurers simply come to the forefront via fate, luck, or determination. These have the blood of angels and devils in their veins or can trace their ancestry to giants, lycanthropes, or any number of other magical creatures. It is only natural, these storytellers say, that such exceptional folk will come to the forefront of the fight against the Shadow.  <br> Regardless of the source of these powers, each person follows her own path, one determined by the unique expression of her abilities. Some may choose to follow their destinies, while others will deny the gifts they have been given. However, these are not professions, religions, or skills . . .  <br> they are part of who the character is. It is these powers, and the choices and responsibilities that come with them, that set the PCs apart from all of the other individuals in the world of MIDNIGHT. And it is those choices and responsibilities that define the PCs, for good or ill, as heroes. <br> Heroic paths are one of the few edges that characters in MIDNIGHT have, but it is a potent one. Some hone their skills to best utilize their path; for instance, someone born to the naturefriend heroic path is quite likely to find himself becoming a wildlander. On the other hand, some heroic paths can have surprising effects on a character; the most peaceful channeler may suddenly find herself directing seasoned warriors in combat.
====Pathwalker: Seers====
Seers are gifted with second sight, an ancient and mysterious
gift. Visions come to them in their sleep, as they fill
their canteens in clear, reflective pools, and in self-induced
trances. Seer characters are often introspective, searching
always within themselves for the answers they cannot glean
from their visions. <br> '''Sight''': The seer can divine information from
an object, place, or person that she is touching.

Magic is as much a part of the world as
wood and earth, water and air. Just as felling a
tree or carving a stone requires the sweat of labor,
so too does the working of magic tax the craftsman
who would wield it. Whether one would learn and
master a magic, harness that magic in the casting
of a spell, or bind the magic in the enchantment of
a material object, the sorcerer must always invest
some of his own essence and vitality in his art. The
student of magic must learn that a true channeler
does not master a power or force outside himself,
but rather one that comes from within. —'''Suruliam of Caradul''', The Art of Magic

===Aradil’s Eye===
The Witch Queen of Erethor watches over the face of
Eredane from her scrying chambers in the heart of the Arbor.
With the war against Izrador closing in around her, even the
queen’s legendary powers have been taxed, and she has been
forced to rely on more mundane methods to gather information.
This has led to the creation of Aradil’s Eyes, an elite
organization of elven trackers and spies who can go to all
corners of Eredane in search of information about the Night
Kings and their forces. 

===Mysteries of Magic===
From the ancient wisdom of the elves, we know
that magic flows through all the world. Our world is
made up not only of things that we can easily grasp, but
also of forces that are often concealed from our view
and apprehension. These things, too, are touched by the
magic of Aryth. This magic flows through time, through
the long history of the world, and it colors and even
guides the lives of men and the course of nations. This
is the magic of fate. <br> The world of Aryth is not just the ground below
us, the sky above us, and all things in between, it is the
thread of destiny that leads us from our past, through
our present, and into our future. And just as the magic
of Aryth seeks a just and proper balance in the natural
world, so too does it seek order in history. The world
has a destiny that is right for it, that belongs to it, and
the magic of Aryth is always searching for this destiny,
reaching for it, blindly but with great purpose. The rare
men and women who stand at the crossroads of this
magic, who shake the foundations of kingdoms and turn
the course of events, we call heroes. When the Shadow
in the North corrupted the Night Kings, it was not merely
a corruption of mortal men, but a corruption of the
magic of fate and destiny. <br> But the magic of Aryth has not been stilled. Even
in this dark time, it strives to find its proper course once
again. Just as the mortal vessel battles the disease that
smothers the spark of life, so too does the magic of the
world struggle against the dominion of the Shadow.
New heroes will arise, driven by fate, to lead the world
out of darkness and herald the coming of a new dawn.

Last Age”



===Elven Raiders===
Driven back into the dark shadows of their forests, the
elves have suffered grievously under the iron fist of Izrador.
Most hated of all the Shadow’s enemies, the elves have battled
valiantly against a rising tide of darkness. Though their
numbers are limited and their options few, the elves never
hesitate in the battle against the darkness.
Trained to haunt the wilderness with stealth and deadly
accuracy with their bows, the elven raiders patrol the borders
of the elven forests, constantly searching for the agents of
Izrador. When they need supplies or equipment they cannot
get for themselves in the forest, the raiders steal forth to
attack the goblin and orc encampments, laying waste to their
hated enemies and stealing what they can before fading back
into the wilds.
