Queen Etheriea

Queen Etheriea is one of the selectable heroes in Epic War 5. She begins play with the Vampire and Centaurion units, and has the Regen spell. Her profile shows her with gray hair and purple armor, while her battle sprite reveals large purple bat wings with green webbing.

Etheriea is an immortal, who rules the Realm comprising the majority of the world in Epic War 5. The main exceptions are at the edges of the world, which she apparently has spies within anyway and militarily raids for rare items during the main plot of her scenario. Many remaining independent tribes are conquered in the process. There are a few remaining challengers such as the dwarven clans and traitor vampires during the extra stages, but this is only cursorily referenced.

She sacrificed her immortal husband to obtain immortality some point before the events of the game. Her husband cursed her, saying that if she pursued the Hellgate it would end her reign and potentially the world. Viewing it as a challenge and a shadow to defeat, she set out acquiring the means to access it once it was discovered. In Viegraf the Red's scenario, she instead releases Viegraf from her service for the duration of a quest in order to do the dirty work for her.

Queen Etheriea is obsessed with ruling everything for eternity, but does not care particularly much for the world she rules. She appears to leave the finer details of ruling to nobility and their dress-up games, considering the dregs of society and greedy wolves in the economy to be a regular process rather than doing anything about it. She delegates vampires to perform tasks for her such as building ships. She grows dissatisfied with her rule over a limited world (comparing it to a malformed bone for a dog and challenging it to destruction if that's all there is). She agrees with the voice from the Hellsgate at the end of the main scenario and steps through to begin conquering other worlds.

Ingame, Etheriea is a hero with a pierce attack. She hovers ominously and performs a short-range aerial lunge attack with her golden spear. She is strong against pierce.

Her first skill tree is Regen -> Ice Blast -> Giga Heal. Her second skill tree is Attack+20 -> Attack+20 -> Attack+100. Her third skill tree is Altar -> Health+500 -> Resist magic.
