Groups and Factions

Saber Knights

Governing Deities: Saber, Black Saber

Headquarters: Fourth Realm

Description: A group of knights sworn to protect the ideals of knights, chivalry, and justice. Combat style modeled after legendary Saber herself. Two divisions exist within the Saber Knights. The Holy Division is dedicated to the normal Saber and uses Holy/Ether-based weaponry. The Shadow Division is dedicated to Black Saber and uses Shadow/Demon-based weaponry.

The Mage Guilds

Governing Deities: Zelretch

Headquarters: Second and Fourth Realms

Description: Various groups of mages that originally banded together for shared benefits in their research and other endeavours. Ranges from prestigeous traditional Houses to small guilds that form teams to take on various offered jobs. All guilds are required to register with the Guild Comittee located in their realm and adhere to the rules set. Almost all guilds based in the fourth realm offer a job service for their members, where people wanting to hire mages can post up a job offer at a guild's hall and wait for interested parties to contact them. These are especially popular among mages who prefer adventure or profit more than doing research in closed labs and libraries. Unfortunately, there are also guilds secretly violating the rules by accepting illegal jobs like assasinations and theft. Once discovered, such guilds are outlawed and their members put to trial.. but some illegal guilds do manage to escape and evade the authorities to continue their dangerous trade.

The Guild Comittee of both realms often meet at the Yurifish Meeting Hall located at the border of the Second and Fourth Realms.

The Underworld

Headquarters: Throughout the Fifth Realm

Description: Various gangs, families, groups involved in crime that are powerful enough. Illegal black market trades live off the thriving Underworld. In constant conflict and feud against each other. They often form and break alliances, stab each other in the back and crush smaller associations before they have a chance to grow into what they consider a threat. And make rules that they all agree to abide and break them on the fly. Play a bit of a territory game around the place. Consider the Pleasure Bastion a mutual threat to business but haven't been able to do anything about it. Despite all that, they generally don't go for more than mutual wealth and profit for their own people and territories.

It seems that recently, an outside force has been secretly attempting to influence a few of the bosses for resources and the general consensus of the Underworld is that they're not going to tolerate it..

The Court of Justice is spearheaded by elite agents known as Prosecutors and are supported by highly-trained combat Executors. While they often see little action in the field, Prosecutors from the Court of Justice hold a high position in the Inner Realm's defense affairs, giving them as much authority as a commanding General has in the Outer Realms. While there are representative Prosecutors in every realm, they tend to prefer assisting the government in administration to actual fieldwork.

Blood Knights

Governing Deities: Altrouge

Headquarters: Sixth Realm

Description: Warrior group that protects, oversees and manages Altrouges' Shrine, currently disintegrated. Entrusted with the conceptual power of contract. Its former leader was able to make any kind of contract in exchange for something else, most commonly blood or soul. Less skilled members can create lesser contracts only by blood. Although a pacifist group, there have been incidents of sudden attacks to towns with no apparent reason. The smell of blood and the lack of information about the Blood Knights attract few visitors to the Shrine. Those who come usually do it to get more power in exchange for something else.
