Death Knight
Once upon a time, there was a sorceress in Oberon's court whose power made the king of the fairies afraid. With the excuse of her being a user of Shadow magic, she was cast away to the deepest part of the Rotten Forest, a place inhabited by all kinds of horrifying spiders. This would've been a certain death for any other fairy, but not for her.
Using her dark magic, she was able to transcend death by becoming an Undead hybrid between a spider and a fairy, being reborn as Arachne, the Spider Witch. She then rose an army of Undead fairies known as the Rottenberry, hellbent on burning Mycropia to the ground.

Demon Hunter
The forests and wastelands around the Kingdom of Mycropia are wandered by solitary fairies who have chosen the life of a hunter. Some of them were expelled from society for crimes they may or may have not committed. Others chose to walk away from this corrupt society on their own volition. And a few of them have been born into this life, with no choice of their own.
These pariahs are believed to have the soul of a scorpion and, in fact, many of them have chosen this ruthless animal as a companion in their hunt. In any case, you don’t want to be picked as their next prey…

We define eusociality as a set of behaviors some species of insects display, characterized by a complex social structure. Eusocial insects build sizeable nests, in which thousands of individuals live, each with their own role and specialization. Among all of them, there's one who stands above the rest: the Queen.
There are three eusocial species that inhabit the proximities of our home, the mighty Kingdom of Mycropia: the Lightjaw Ants, the Deadwood Termites and the Nectarsting Bees.

Welcome to Oberon’s Royal Garden! The few noblefey invited to visit this paradise can relish sightseeing the most beautiful and awe-inspiring invertebrates in the whole world, have fun betting for their favorite racer in the Arthropoda Derby or simply enjoy a stroll around these tastefully curated gardens.
And, of course, no one should miss the opportunity to watch the crown jewel, Gallan the Gorgeous, a magnificent beast of stunning plumage and colossal size. Capturing this monster and building its cage were both massively costly endeavors; but after watching it in all its glory, I’m sure you’ll agree it was well worth it.

Few things are more devastating for fairies and insects alike than fire, a destructive force that can easily engulf the forests they inhabit. However, there is a particular Mycropian known as Flamecaller Ember who learnt to master this dangerous element and become immune to its flames. This wasn’t an easy feat, though, as her body became surrounded by fire and her mind was completely consumed.
Unlike other pariahs of the Kingdom of Mycropia, Ember doesn’t hold a particular grudge against King Oberon. But make no mistake, if she gets angered, the few things able to escape the blazes she conjures will surely succumb to her army of elementals and dragonflies.

Perhaps, an even more perplexing case of eusociality is that of the Lightjaw Ants, which, despite their simple-mindedness, display a natural affinity to the Holy Light. There are many theories trying to explain this odd behavior, but the leading one is that their conviction to protect their Queen and expand their colony is akin to the faith of the most devout Paladin.

Priest
Polite, delicate and experts in all sorts of etiquette, the Nightglow lunar priestesses serve as both the religious and diplomatic elite of the Mycropian court.
They’re led by Moonspeaker Selunia, whose soft voice can alleviate even the tensest situations. In fact, her persuasive skills are so good she’s said to use mindbending spells to achieve the mysterious goals of the Nightglow.
Another discipline the Priestesses have mastered is taming butterflies and moths of all kinds. Reigning among them is Senulia's personal pet, an atlas moth known as Silverwind whose wingspan can put many birds to shame

One is safer in the battlefield than between the palace walls. ~ Mycropian adage.
With the absolute power Oberon holds, many ambitious fairies are willing to do whatever it takes to be as close to the monarch as they can. Complots, conspiracies and murders involving Centipede Poison are commonplace in this environment where you could be the top dog one day and be beheaded the very next one.
One of the strongest players of this political game is Lady Elytra, a relative newcomer who has gained a lot of power in a very short time, coinciding with the mysterious death of several important courtiers. Rumors say she’s actually a Rottenberry Undead plotting to assassinate the king himself, and that she hides her stench using floral fragrances. But, of course, that must be an ill-tongued rival envious of her position…
Clarification on Lady Elytra: Poisons with an effect that triggers when your hero attacks will instead trigger when the Assassins attack instead.

Welcome to the Murky Pond! Located in the vicinities of Mycropia, this unassuming spring hosts an incredibly diverse ecosystem where insects, Elementals, tiny Murlocs known as Sea Monkeys and other kinds of creatures coexist in harmony.
This harmony is far from peaceful, though, as creatures sport a hierarchy of prey and predator, in which the aberration known as Urpa, Terror of the Pond, reigns supreme.

Our final case of study is the Deadwood Termites. These animals have developed eusociality in isolation, as they are more closely related to cockroaches than they are to ants or bees.
But, of course, their most defining trait is their seemingly infinite hunger, as they will consume whatever gets in their path like an unstoppable force. In fact, the war they wage against the Lightjaw Ants might be our only saving grace: if this delicate balance was to be broken and either of them emerged victorious, Mycropia, even in all its might, would not stand a chance.

Masters of their craft, the Artisan Fairies are highly valued by Oberon's court, as their fine weapons are key to maintaining Mycropia's military supremacy. Some of them, however, are secretly against the regime and use their privileged position to smuggle their fine creations to opposing factions.
The most predominant of these is the Shapbranch Militia, a group of scarab-riding freedom fighters led by the fierce Captain Koleos. It's said that, when battling in their forest, not even the whole Mycropian army could defeat them...
