3. Beastmasters
Officially a chapter of the Druidic Order, the beastmasters make their home far from the deep forest where their druid brethren worship, opting instead for a life on the steppe in tune with the hunting animals. Allies of bears, wolves and panthers, they watch over the balance of wild nature. The army of beasts has good basic stats apart from armor, and is almost exclusively oriented towards melee and physical damage.
