The official heroes despite their name represent important powerful beings regardless of their living or dead counterpart morality.  

Homebrew

  The immense popularity of Living Scrolls brought in a secondary market of unofficial of Heroes, Formats and Scenarios, those became called "homebrew" as they were popularized by large inns and taverns offering their own unique scenario to their customers.    Homebrew Illusion Beads can be crafted by any mage or enchanter, but due to the process being extremally intellectually intensive, as they need to conjure a perfect image of the Hero or Scenario and also to create more interesting designs, artists, enchanters, mages, and toymakers collaborate to create a new homebrew. A solo crafter is referred to as an Architect.   Homebrew Illusion Beads can be found in most markets, taverns and inns.
