**The Esmeray** is a large organization consisting of magic folk. The organization's goal is to rebel against the mandate and take back what The Founders lost in The Great War. They are led by Hesperia Acim and are allied with The Order of Themis.

## Description

Similar to the Amalthea, the Esmeray is composed of various magic-folk. However that’s about all they have in common. They run a tight hierarchy and are very strict with their operations. Although, their rigidity makes them incredibly efficient. Additionally, they are much larger than the Amalthea and tend to “advertise” their group more. Many people suspect that the Amalthea is under the control of the Esmeray, however no one has been able to confirm that theory. The Amalthea claim to have no part in the Esmeray’s affairs, however the Esmeray argues that they have plenty of a hand in their group. No one knows which is true.

The Esmeray’s end goal is to right the wrongs committed against their ancestors from long ago. They believe that the gods just couldn’t stand such a low species as humans possessing rivaling power as them, and unjustly took it away from them without any good reason other than fear.

## **Hierarchy**

Each lower class must report to the one directly above them. Each person must wear a bracelet on their dominant hand. The color of beads indicates their rank within the club, however this bracelet appears as a tortoise brown unless activated by the correct user. One of the Co-Assistants or higher must check in each person to meetings. In order to rank up, one must receive approval by Hesperia and all of the Co-leaders. Each level is given a different test/procedure one must go through in order to move to the next level. Some of these things may prove questionable… it all depends on how much power one wants, and how badly they desire it.

The follow are all the ranks within the association and the corresponding color to each rank.

### Leader - Gold

Calls all the shots, oversees everything and everyone within the organization. Everyone *must* report to them before doing anything significant.

### Co-leaders - Silver

The main assistants of the leader. They help make decisions and suggest new ideas, in addition to helping to ensure everyone is doing as they should be. They also help gather useful information.

### Assistants - White

They assist the co-leaders in guiding their decisions. This is where a lot of mentors stand in the hierarchy. Additionally, they oversee and devise the tests issued to the newer members.

### Co-assistants - Black

Help newer members integrate into the organization. They also keep an eye on new members, making sure they aren’t traitorous, suspicious, etc.

### Helpers - Navy Blue

Assist in lesser activities such as research, dealing with small squabbles among members, issuing meeting times, keeping attendance, etc.

### Insiders - Midnight Purple

Know the ins and outs about the organization and are fully initiated within it. Not well trusted enough to become a Helper, but do occasionally assist the Helpers and eventually become one. Invited to attend all meetings.

### Newbies - Dark Fuschia

Fully initiated within the organization (point of no return). Invited to attend some meetings

### Outsiders - Dark Gray

Have met in person with Hesperia and received approval to be within the organization. Invited to attend little to none of the meetings. Have yet to be fully initiated. Will be observed and watched carefully

### Followers - None/Light Gray

People who have just accepted the invitation or have sought out the organization and received a reply.
