Lord of Fazeem and the Shadow Armies
The once strong ruler of Arad Alhadad, who now calls himself Fazeem out of greed and malice, became twisted and tormented by the power of the black dust. Hence, he no longer was a man but a creature, a being driven by hate and avarice, a being of pure energy. Hearing of the power possessed by the Mudaris, he desired to have it. He believed that if it were united with the black dust, it would make its wielder very powerful, possibly pure energy of untold compositions. Thus, he stole the Shard from the Mudaris and retreated to Arad Alhadad. There he created an army of monsters called the “Beasts of Shadows,” and there he fed off the Shard to become a mixture of both light and dark energies from the great cosmic star.
Vardan and the Oshayar 'People of the Tremor'

They are a culture of nomads raiders, pirates, traders, explorers, colonizers and warriors. Many of them got rich off human trafficking. They would capture and enslave women and young men while pillaging various settlements. The Oshayar were legendary for their brutality and fearlessness in battle, child sacrifices and rape. They were the most feared people in all of the eastern coastal lands of the continent.
Annaza, Spawn of the Black star
The Annaza is his special force of elite soldiers, who keep their identities secret and distant. Their exact numbers are unknown, but they serve as assassins, warriors, and spies for Rathamun. His eyes watch through theirs as they do his bidding while dressed in their black and red garments and turbans and with a veil across their face, only revealing their eyes. Some of the Annaza are able to shape change, taking on the appearance of humans, blending in to their surroundings. They ride upon dark camels, but unlike any other camels, these are the fastest and most resilient ever to be found. Their deep mahogany color and spooky white eyes strike fear in all who look within them.
Sekmet and the Children of Ra
The Children of Ra are ancient Egyptians (Khemites), that were affected by the powers of both the white and black dust. However, Ra himself, would collect the whitedust children and make them servants of the darkdust. Their powers and gifts vary. Sekmet is Ra's eldest daughter and chief protector of the realm of Khemet. She is savage in her duties and mercy is rarely shown.
Lord of Antaneen
He is the unnamed, the lord over the vampires known as Antaneen, the blood grifters. The Antaneen are an ancient race of vampiric women, that were collected from the daughters of men to serve as heralds and assassins. All the women have pale white skin, with straight flowing hair of various hues. Their pale skin is a result of their parasitic behavior and the absence of melanin. The women themselves possess elevated strength, agility, and endurance above normal humans. Their carnassial teeth are pronounced like a cat, both upper and lower and they also have retractable claws. These features are adapted to their carnivorous diet of White or Black dust users. They feed on the energy possessed by the dust users, though they are also known to have drenched in the blood of humans as well. Their master, only known as Lord of Antaneen, himself is a dust user that feeds off the energy his women of Antaneen feed on. Thus, increasing his own powers.
