Disciples III has three playable factions, each different from the other two. The human race is represented by the Empire, then there is the Elven Alliance and the last is the Legions of the Damned, lead by an Elven warlord turned evil. In addition to choosing a faction, you will also need to choose a class for your heroic or malevolent lord. Depending on your personal preference, you can play as a magic wielding Archamage, a powerful Warlord or a skilled spy in the form of Guild Master."
