Dwarven Defender: Dwarven warrior tradition developed in the Drow Wars. Common among all dwarves.

Master Samurai: Hail from the Ceslestial Imperium.
Ninja of the Crescent Moon: Nippon ninja house that migrated to Gradsul 500 years ago. It has spread a couple chapters through the lower Sheldomar.
Order of the Bow: Spiritual movement common in the sheldomar, especially the Dim Forest.
Ravager: Favored warriors of Erythnul.
Red Avenger: A monastery of the Celestial Imperium.
