Hosts are a melee-focused martial class that rely on turning their once deadly sickness into a powerful boon. More than most classes, the subclass you choose heavily influences the playstyle of each Host.
Veneon Class – The Host
Playable Race – Dwarf (Frost Elf)
The Dwarves of Frostwoods (also known as Frost Elfs) are tall, imposing crafters and arcane experimenters. Unlike the Dwarves of the Hammerlands, the Frost Elfs live high upon the Snowpeak Mountains in the blistering cold.
Playable Race – Half-Jotun
Half-Jotun are the distant offspring of the mighty Jotun. They retain a fraction of the size of their Jotun ancestors, yet still tower over the majority of other races. Incomparable strength and an affinity for ice make them a terrifying physical opponent to face.
Druid Archetype – Circle of the Snowstorm
Circle of the Snowstorm druids excel is turning using the power of the cold to punish and wound their enemies.
Rogue Archetype – The Illusionary
Illusionary rogues are infused with innate illusion magic which can allow them to use tricky magic and powerful phasing.
Playable Race – Fenfir
The Fenfir are the offspring of the mighty wolf Fenrir. They are powerful wolf-like humanoids and are often mistaken for werewolves when travelling foreign realms. While they are perfectly capable of using weaponry, many prefer to rely on their sharp claws in battle. Bestial and Cunning Fenfir are tall, lithe wolf-like humanoids. They stand just...

Barbarian Subclass – Path of the Burnt

Paladin Archetype – Oath of the Punishing Sun
As the enforcer of Ra's justice, Oath of the Punishing Sun paladins use heated chains to capture and scorch those that deserve a god's wrath. They excel in locking down multiple enemies and burning those who are foolish enough to let them close.
Sorcerer Archetype – Kraken Bloodline
Sorcerers imbued with the fearsome might of the Kraken can take on terrifying forms with which to inflict great pain onto their enemies. Through unrivalled mastery of cold-based magic and terrifying tentacle attacks, a Kraken Bloodline sorcerer can become a terrifying foe in both melee and magical situations.
Playable Race – Harpy
While most races within the Oceans of Contest live in near-constant conflict, the Harpies keep comparatively peaceful lives within the jungles of the realm. They choose no side in the wars of the realm, instead helping or hindering as they see fit. Some Harpies do of course leave their nest and find a more permanent place in the societies of humanity, but for the majority, the jungle territory of their small community will be a permanent home.
Playable Race – Human (Herculean)
While the Western lands of the Oceans of Contest are home to piracy and lawlessness, the Northern and Eastern territories are ruled by the Herculean Humans of Athens. Order, intellect, and democracy are the guiding principles of this proud race of scholars and warriors.
Mounts of the Floodplains
For the people that live in the Floodplains, the most common form of vehicle is either a simple wicker raft or a small boat. There aren't many beasts that could be easily domesticated on a large scale to act as mounts. This doesn't mean, however, that a brave (or foolish) adventure cannot tame one of the many powerful creatures of the Floodplains. Mounts are rare, but it's not unbelievable to think that the bravest heroes of the realm could be sighted astride a fearsome beast.

Bard Archetype – College of Sea Shanties
Bards of the Collage of Sea Shanties are practiced in motivating their crewmates to performing their best and being troublesome annoyances on the battlefield. Through singing well-known shanties, they can give their allies the chance to join in and receive the benefits of comradery and courage.
Creatures of Veneon – Aquatalis
Aquatalis come in innumerable forms, each cursed with the features of aquatic fauna. This can manifest in varying degrees of intensity. One Aquatalis may appear predominantly human aside from a large swordfish blade in place of their hand, another however may have lost its limbs entirely, instead sporting a hollow torso that houses a large eel. The scale of an Aquatalis is dependent on the creature it has been merged with. A whale-based Aquatalis might grow to monstrous heights while a shrimp-themed Aquatalis never grows more than a handful of feet tall.
