The Homelands
The spirits populating your kingdom are divided into classes, or colors, based upon the terrain type from which the spirit comes.
Each class of spirit has an associated terrain type, color and unifying traits and characteristics.
A complete understanding of the nature and capabilities of each spirit can require years of study. As new spirits migrate to your kingdom, and the spirit population of Valhalla grows and expands, the exact capabilities, limitations and strengths of each spirit class and homeland reveal themselves to be illusive and evolving in nature.
The ever-changing nature of Valhalla requires an adaptive approach to both playing style and strategy.
The definitions below are designed to provide some initial guidelines to aid you in the study of spirits from the various homelands.
It is important to know the nature of the homelands when choosing which spirits you wish to use in dungeon.
The better you understand the strengths and weaknesses of the homelands, the more effective you will be in creating dungeon definitions that will lead to victory.
It is equally important to study the nature of opposing spirits in order to plan adequate defenses against the diverse range of opponents you will face on the field of battle.

Cursed Lands | |
| There are locations on some maps that are off limits to all spirits. These cursed lands can not be occupied or used by either player. A terrain location that has been cursed by a spell, it can be restored by having that spell removed. If, however, the terrain was cursed in the initial map definition, it will remain off limits during the current game. (If a piece of terrain is cursed by a spell during a game, any spirit occupying that location at the time is automatically destroyed; unless, of course, it has the ability to be resurrected.) |
