Chapter Three

The Factions of Tikor

The hands that move the world. Royal orders, pirate fleets, secret councils, and one or two crews you really don't want to cross.

The Divine Order of the Phoenix

Garuda's ruling coalition — the Ring of the Chosen, the Kasaii, and the twelve Divinity who founded a nation around the Eternal Flame.

The greatest heroes in the land — shield-wearing guardians trained in the Sigil Temples, elite protectors of the Divine Order.

The largest pirate armada in all of Grimnest — born from five slum kids, now ruled by Nubia, feared across the Grand Divide.

A rag-tag family of outcasts and orphan thieves — Grimnest's safety net for the ones the godless nation couldn't catch.

The secret council of Crystal Priests who actually run Teslan — Xan'dar's small, dedicated group behind Druse Academy.

Ramnos's living wall — elite monster-hunters who walk the Isfet Mountains so the kingdom behind Ptah doesn't have to.

The first families of the Mali-Kar — eight noble lines created by Temu, rulers of Ramnos whether the people like it or not.
