Factions

A number of organizations have arisen and fallen during the history of Orn. These factions have very specific goals and methodology, most having no interest in ruling an area of land as a traditional nation would. Factions work across vast areas of the Crown through clusters of agents or sometimes a single agent to achieve their goals.

The Dreamcatchers
An order of mystic warriors and dreamshapers dedicated to fighting the Legion and those that would worship the world-devourers. They are extremely secretive, operating out of the shadows, silently watching over Orn.

The Green Conclave
Followers of the old gods and ancient naturalistic traditions, they seek to maintain a balance between the natural world and the civilized world.

The Grey Judges
A dedicated order of itinerant monks serving the will of Odath, paragon of Law and god of Death. They officiate over coronations and funerals. They can also be called upon to settle disputes when asked, however their Judgement is final and cannot be appealed. They are known to pronounce harsh sentences upon those that impose upon their valuable time.

The Iron Circle
A confederation of tradesmen, caravaneers, lending houses and merchants loosely collaborating with the goal of stabilizing trade and promoting commerce across borders. Individual rings may take more illegal actions than others. Often working closely with the church of Durgyn, most Iron Circle members keep a shrine openly in their public trading spaces.

The Seekers of the Spurned
A maniacal cult that have come to see the spurned as semi-divine beings. To become one of the spurned is the highest goal of its members. They see the eternal damnation inherent in the state as a blessing of immortality and are willing to do anything to achieve it. The Harrowmist is a particularly sacred site to these Seekers, many take a pilgrimage to the vale to join the cursed souls trapped there.

The Shadows
The assassin's guild is greatly feared across Orn. Little is known about  their organization; membership is such a closely guarded secret that none are permitted to leave once sworn into the service of the brotherhood. They are notoriously difficult to contact, usually reaching out to clients themselves after interest is shown.

The White Scribes
A sacred order of historians and chroniclers associated with the church of Arthicril. Bound by the Code of Arthicril, the Scribes are forbidden from speaking and writing falsehood. Scribes are often found in noble courts, chronicling their histories. Once based in the Imperial Collegium of Both-Grammal, the organization suffered greatly from the Shattering and many disjointed accounts of the Age of Heroes exist leading to a number of academic schisms.
