There's also a bit at the end of the Steam DLC page as well as the F.A.Q. page: "But this is not all. The Druchii possess a dark and powerful weapon.
When blood runs in rivers and the air is choked with Death, the chains will break and this monstrous secret will be unleashed."
People are guessing this is another unit that's not been shown yet, being a toss up between the Kharibdyss or the Blood-wrack Medusa. The first would seem more likely since it's similar to a Hydra however the Medusa is more thematically appropriate.
Some of the regiments of renown seem quite neat. There's a unit of Phoenix Guard who burst into fire whenever one of them dies, a unit of Dark Riders mounted on dark pegasi, a war hydra with frostbite and cold breath and a unit of shadow warriors that can fire while remaining hidden as well as an ability "Loec's Shroud" that increases their speed and reduces detection radius.

It's also interesting that Alarielle can recruit units of dryads, treekin and treemen, giving access to some of the Wood Elf units to at least her faction for the high elves.
Both Alarielle and Hellebron also have mechanics during the campaigns which affect their abilities.
Alarielle's strength seems to be tied to the amount of Chaos Corruption within either the world or Ulthuan (it doesn't really say) and also gains bonuses or penalties depending on whether there's enemies within Ulthuan or not.
Hellebron has a mechanic where she loses power unless you use the "Death Night" rite that also summons an indepenent army of Dark Elves you gain the post-battle rewards from.
