- | === Oxis Alliance | + | ==== The Cerulean Moon ==== |
+ | The Cerulean Moon cannot be easily defined, since they have no formal structure or tenets. Instead, they are bonded together by their respect and protection of nature and the magic inherent in the natural world. Local chapters form on their accord and organize however they wish. These chapters are mostly found in the countries of Buyuk Vahsi, Dahabu, Vervand, and the forests of Nahrūl, where the forces of nature can be felt the strongest.

- | The members of this faction generally guard the creatures of the land or sea against the unnatural forces of industrialization and exploitative magics. Their methods can vary between peaceful defenders, to militant vigilantes. They generally lack any formal training or fine crafted equipment, instead utilizing the environment to their advantage. Their lack of formal leadership on one hand limits them, but on the other hand makes them very difficult to quash. | + | Wings agents include sophisticated troubadours, |

- | === The Kinland Order === | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The Kinland Order is a relatively new organization dedicated towards upholding the code of honor and integrity inherent to the martial schools of Ruefang and the arcane schools of Ulos. The Order views evil as the embodiment of lacking honor, and its members act on their own authority to venture out and destroy these evils. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Since the honorless are found in the shadows and dark, the Order journeys to the most dangerous dungeons to rid them of evil and darkness. They also believe that the path to evil exists within everyone, and that memorizing and upholding the tenets of honor is the key to striding the righteous path. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The code of honor limits the members to striking only in defense of self, those who cannot defend themselves, or striking those who are committing evil deeds. They also believe that individuals must follow the Order’s code by their own volition, but know that some may need encouragement and support to do so. | + | |

- | + | ||
- | To the Ystervius, wealth and political influence is true power. Its agents know that the world and its people are sustained by rivers of silver. Wealth can speak louder than a thousand troubadours. Agents of Ystervius brandish the finest weapons and armor, sparing no expense. When hirers seek out adventurers, | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The Iron Fist encourages individual drive and ambition, but only when it conforms to its incredibly close-minded ideals. A fine line must be walked between standing out by individual achievement and innovation and keeping one’s head low to keep it on one’s shoulders. | + | |
