The Red Embers

The Red Embers are a group of people who hail from Misbah's desert region. Most of them are mercenaries by trade and conduct business across Aurelia and certain parts of the world.
==Overview==
The Red Embers hail from an ancient civilization in Misbah's vast desert. They are split into multiple factions, each with their own beliefs and code of conduct, although some Embers may travel between different groups and these factions are not mutually exclusive. Strife sometimes erupts between different groups, which is why consultants and advisors are appointed by Marie Carmichael to facilitate communication.
Most scholars from Harpeia, have a negative perception of them and describes them as "true soldiers of fortune who will do anything for money," and goes on to state that some of its members wield "bizarre yet formidable powers." Appan-Il, an Ember tribesman with access to such powers, mentions that these powers are borrowed from ancient spirits that can manipulate the elements, and are not inherent to the Embers.
