	Of course, having so many potential races to play does raise a natural question: what the heck do they think of each other? Whilst mono-racial or at least mono-factional Bindings do tend to be the norm, depending on what the gods will, a Binding can have some really damn crazy mixes and so that means that sometimes, people just need to play nice...

	The corebook offers Human, Duardin (Fyreslayer or Kharadon Overlord), Aelf (Dark Aelf or Witch Aelf) and Sylvaneth races. ''Star and Scales'' added Seraphon, and ''Champions of Order'' added Aelf (Lumineth). ''Champions of Death'' added Ghoul, Vampire, Wight, Nighthaunt and Ossiarch Bonereaper. ''Champions of Destruction'' added Orruk (Bonesplitter, Ironjaw, Kruleboy), Grot, Hobgrot, Troggoth and Ogor.

	'''Scinari Cathallars''' tend to place themselves in charge of a Binding's emotional well-being out of sheer habit - after all, it's the role they fill amongst the Lumineth, and they must periodically return to their people to aid them. But what many come to realize is that the intertwining of souls means that their Binding can ''ease'' their burdens, not just add to them. The idea of having fellow souls to act as a source of stability is a strange one, but one that the Scinari can become quite appreciative of.

	'''Vanari Warriors''' who become Soulbound are typically misfits or outcasts - the ones who disobeyed their commander at a pivotal moment, or aetherquartz addicts. That's not to say that there aren't Bindings whose Vanari are exemplary veterans assigned to help hold their disparate and unruly group together through their spiritual embrace of unity, it's just that most Lumineth who are sane and well-fitted into their society would rather not subject themselves to the eccentricities of traveling with a mixed race group, never mind merging their souls.

	Of any force of the Lumineth, the '''Scinari Loreseekers''' are the most suited to become Soulbound. Their role typically sees them away from typical command structures as they seek any sort of lost or forbidden knowledge, whether it is to seal it away or weaponize it.		Similar to their Alarith brethren, the '''Hurakan Windchargers''' also act as a link between their binding and their air aelementor patron, but this bond is threefold considering they also have their pet treerunner as well. Surprisingly, the Windcharger and aelementor are both usually open to such bindings, usually looking for new experiences, rather it is the treerunner who tends to have the most difficulty adjusting. It often takes extensive training to temper the normally skittish nature of the creature before it can comfortably go on scouting the mortal realms and interact with the many inhabitants.

Their role typically sees them away from typical command structures as they seek any sort of lost or forbidden knowledge, whether it is to seal it away or weaponize it. However, many prefer to keep to their isolation, with those that accept the ritual of binding being the ones in pursuit of some lore or artefact that would otherwise be impossible to retrieve alone.

	Nobody is quite sure ''why'' Alarielle sometimes adds a '''Spite-Revenant''' to a Binding - and even less sure why they accept! Usually, they are only added to Bindings united by hatred of a greater enemy, because Spite-Revenants tend to be highly unpleasant traveling companions, even compared to Daughters of Khaine, Idoneth Deepkin, or Lumineth Realm-Lords. In fact, some Bindings might actually ''prefer'' to be travel with a Soulbound undead, orruk or grot. Mischievous, cruel and deliberately creepy, Spite-Revenants are outcasts to their very souls.

			'''Warsong Revenants''' are dedicated to filling the realms with all sorts of magical song, and this leads to the revenants to become Soulbound more often than not. Due to only recently forming after Alarielle's Rite of Life, they lack the lengthy collections of memories other Sylvaneth tend to hold. However, their value is just as significant and thus she will only assign one to a binding when she knows that others will bolster their musical skill far more than their native groves.

	It might seem unthinkable that a '''Khainite Shadowstalker''' would ever need to be Soulbound, since they are the most fanatically devout of their kind, but it has happened that they have displeased their cruel mistress enough that she has exiled them from the Sisterhood in this fashion. And even rarer still, some have actually sought to be Soulbound, perhaps having come to realize that their dark mistress is not worthy of their devotion.

	Typically speaking, the concept that a '''Melusai''' or '''Khinerai''' could even be considered for a Binding would be considered insane - after all, both of these are the results of Morathi ripping their souls out of Slaanesh's gut and their corruption is clear to see. Without extensive illusionary magic, they likely wouldn't even be accepted outside of temples of Khaine.

Without extensive illusionary magic, they likely wouldn't even be accepted outside of temples of Khaine. However, such Soulbound do exist, their true nature typically hidden before Morathi's ascension. With the increasingly tense alliance between Morathi and the forces of Order, several more loyal Scathborn have been sent to become Soulbound in order to ensure her loyalty. This has served a double-sided boon for her, as while they cannot be exclusively hers, Morathi can still use them as a secret police, hunting down her enemies.

	The '''Excelsior Warpriest''' is the [[Cleric]] of the Archetypes, representing the roving militant priest who believes in fighting the enemies of their gods with courage, faith, and a big fucking hammer. Most are devotees of [[Sigmar]], but there are fledgeling orders arising in the names of other Gods of Order, such as Alarielle and Tyrion. Weirdly, despite this, the archetype is officially Humans Only. Ironically, despite being Soulbound requiring the direct approval of a deity, a Warpriest usually views it as being as much burden as honor - after all, whilst it is a direct blessing from their patron, it also condemns their soul to never join the faithful in the afterlife. They are typically selected from the strongest personalities and those with unbreakable faith.

	'''Trade Pioneers''' are roving adventurer-merchants, willing to risk it all and plumb the dangerous depths of the Mortal Realms in the name of adventure, knowledge, profit, or any combination thereof. The only Archetype available to any race, they typically leap at the chance to become Soulbound, for the Binding only offers them a plethora of new powers and tricks with which to pursue their passions.

			'''Witch Hunters''' are servants of the Order of Azyr, Sigmar's special organization to flush out all sorts of corruption as his own plainclothes inquisition. Because of the many forms corruption and deceit take, this archetype is open to humans, aelves and duardin, and all seek the chance to become Soulbound, letting them become something more than mortal so they can face off even the worst of the God-Kings enemies.

	Typically deployed as envoys, heralds, diplomats and inquisitors, a '''Knight-Azyros''' is often assigned to a Binding to act as the "face" of the group, providing a more diplomatic option in contrast to the face-breaking skills provided by the rest of the group. Others seek out Bindings of their own volition in hopes of steering them towards some particularly difficult or involved assignment of the Eternal's own.

	'''~~Knights~~-Incantor''' ~~are~~ already compelled to wander the Realms in search of finding arcane lore that might help correct the notorious flaws in the process of Reforging. Whilst this mission may be occluded behind other, more public goals, it remains their true desire... and often gives them cause to travel with Bindings.

Whilst this mission may be occluded behind other, more public goals, it remains their true desire... and often gives them cause to travel with Bindings.

	A '''Knight-Questor''' is quite literally born to be an [[adventurer]], with a divine geas and literal god-backed authority to go wherever and do whatever it takes to fulfill their task. Knights-Questor are equally likely to be assigned the protection/assistance/monitoring of a Binding as they share a common goal with a Binding, either by chance or because the Binding was created specifically to be their backup.

	'''~~Knights~~-Venator''' ~~are the~~ advance ~~scouts~~ of the Stormcast Eternals, traveling far and wide under their own initiative to seek out evil to smite. As with the Knights-Questor, they frequently work alongside Bindings, and are as likely to have Bindings created to back them up as they are to be assigned to back up the Binding.

As with the Knights-Questor, they frequently work alongside Bindings, and are as likely to have Bindings created to back them up as they are to be assigned to back up the Binding.

	'''~~Kights~~-Zephyros''', given ~~that they serve~~ as the assassins of the Stormcast Eternals, ~~are~~ rarely given Bindings as direct backup and more frequently make common cause with a Binding who happens to share a common target ~~wit hthem~~.		A '''Knight-Zephyros''', given their role as the assassins of the Stormcast Eternals, is rarely given Bindings as direct backup and more frequently make common cause with a Binding who happens to share a common target with them.

	The '''Draconith''' are a species that are only allied to the Stormcast as they are the children of [[Dracothion]], the great star-drake who led Sigmar to the realms.		A '''Knight-Judicator''' is an expert marksman, capable of sensing the taint of the enemy and striking them down from afar with their greatbow, protected by a pair of gryph-hounds. As such they are perfectly suited for joining a binding that is also seeking out such foes, they also act as scouts for their chambers and for any Free Cities and Dawnbringer Crusades they come across.

			A '''Knight-Relictor''' takes to the field wielding relics holding the remains of venerated heroes. Though many view this as a macabre practice, their rituals, which include collecting the remains of the deceased heroes, serves a vital role in warding the souls of their allies from any form of corruption. This also leads to the Stormcast to holding an interest in various aspects of history, especially the faiths and cultures of the realms.

			A ''' Knight-Vexillor''' holds a position of renown, only being able to reach this role after triumphing as the last survivor of the Gladitorium, a coliseum hom to a grueling marathon of challenges against terrifying monsters, perilous environments, and even their own fellow Stormcast. For this skill and determination, they are gifted one of the magical standards of the Stormcast. Beyond mere icons to rally the morale of any Stormcast and attached Soulbound alike, these standards also channel magical power to support and destroy.

			The '''Errant Draconith''' are part of a recently awakened species that are only allied to the Stormcast as they are the children of [[Dracothion]], the great star-drake who led Sigmar to the realms. Due to their age and the fact that many of them were hidden away by the Seraphon in ages before even the Age of Myth, the Draconith are similarly unable to be soulbound. However, this new generation of Draconith are also very new to the ways of the realms and thus take to adventuring as soon as they can fly - some in hopes to prepare themselves for their futures as mounts to the Stormcast, others in search of allies and experiences to remember in the coming ages.

	The '''Idoneth Deepkin''' are rarely called to become a Soulbound, but at the same time, they find the offer incredibly enticing.

Also, a handy immunity to the intense paranoia caused by even slight exposure to aether-gold. True, it's a case of great rewards carrying commiserate risks, but to most Kharadron, that's only proper, and so they will happily make the bargain.
