Factions

Anti-Mage Association

The Anti-Mage Association was a faction ironically named, started in Vorus City on behalf of Heir Couma’s public distrust of Mages. Its leader was Wenslo Hawkheart until he was murdered by Edward Price, after which the faction was taken over by Couma himself. It’s formation was largely undedicated, and remained mostly ineffective until its official disbandment by Couma’s death.

Gladiator Guild

The Gladiator Guild was created in Leo City in 300y. Klaus Wolfbane joined to restart his life after the Mage Confrontation, but its lack of fame after Klaus’ death caused its eventual disformation.

The Dragonbloods

The Dragonbloods was a secret society started by Eric Dragonblood himself. Its purpose was to collect those who wanted to better understand the nature of dragons. Occasionally blood magic was used to resurrect dragons as allies, which contributed to the conflict of the War of the Nine.

The Order

The Order began when Couma Wolfbane fled Vorus City following his conviction, and its participants carried out their tasks in secret. The Order is dedicated to total annihilation of Mages, The Royals, and traditional Elissians. The Order’s people can be recognized by yellow face paint and tattoos.

The Royals

The Royals started as the large group of Elissians who believed themselves to be superior to the rest of the human race because they were “blessed” with magic by Aro during his relatively short lifetime. When regular Elissian society denied their beliefs, they fled to Mount Carmel where they claimed the mountains for their own and built compounds and temples for themselves. They are very reclusive and believe in total dedication to the learning of magic and the superiority of The Royals. They believe no one but those taught magic directly by Aro and their generations should be allowed to practice magic, and preach the killing of wizards/wizardesses who have discovered how to utilize magic by their own means. Royals and Royal-empathizaers can be recognized by red face paint and tattoos, which usually garner severe reactions from witnesses. The Royals are traditionalist Elissians, and strictly believe what that entails. One can read more about The Royals at their dedicated page: The Royals.
