Thrrasir Factions

## Auntie and The Grung

The grung are small, poison-skinned frog-people who arrived in Alu Lyth shortly after the cube was activated by Reed at the start of the campaign. They have access to extremely large marine or marine-adjacent life, including crabs and osprey, and can mind-control these animals. The grung are led by Auntie, a mysterious and powerful magic-user eventually revealed to be a sea hag.

The grung are in fact descendants of the remaining sea elves. After the cataclysm, the sea elves agreed to a contract with a sea hag in order to protect the cube containing the Diadem of Onkiichir - the agreement requires the sea hags to protect the cube in exchange for the sea elves' service. The sea elves are now able to (or possibly forced) to take the shape of grung (it's not entirely clear if only Srreerr can change shape at will).

The current lead sea hag, Auntie Gil, truly does want the cube back to prevent it from being opened or used, as she would also be in danger from a second Cataclysm. Srreeerr and presumably his fellow sea elves also don't want a second Cataclysm, and Srreerr takes the duty very seriously.

### Known Members

* Auntie - Auntie Gil, a sea hag. Member of a sea hag coven in the abandoned sea elf city.
* Srreerr - A sea elf, descendant of the leader of the sea elf who struck the initial bargain with the sea hags
* Morgana - The second member of the sea hag coven, whom the party has not met.
* Ancient Hag - The third member of the sea hag coven; incredibly old and doesn't have a name. She may have struck the original contract with the sea elves.
* Murry (former) - A giant spider crab; now in the care of the University.
* Heijan Odyva - Bronze dragonborn; began serving Auntie and murdering people in the Gallows to feed to the giant octopus Moe; through Auntie, gained the power to turn into a sea spawn.
* Moe (deceased) - A giant octopus, originally captured by the University. He escaped during the party's first adventure and escaped into the canals, where he proceeded to cause trouble (partially under the grung's command) until he was killed by the party (final blow by Alyx) after being used to try and kill Fen.

## The Peacemakers

Formerly known to the party only as "the Herald's," this mysterious group is in fact called the Peacemakers. They claim to work for the child of a god, whom they call the Herald - the Herald is, in fact, Igraine. The Peacemakers' mission is to destroy the world and create a better, more peaceful one, in its place.

The Peacemakers provided the Sun Trail Gang with materials and information to produce diamond dust, in exchange for information gathered by the gang from their customers. They seemed to be looking for the cube unveiled and activated by Reed during the magical exposition at the beginning of the campaign. They are not associated with "Auntie" or the grung, and in fact want at least the later dead.

The Peacemakers were revealed to have a lair under Alu Lyth's temple to Tuo, where they had summoned at least one demon, were storing hundreds of skulls, had tortured Ingway, and had, for a time, held the cube. The party arrived in time to confront Igraine in the midst of a spell, but were not able to stop her from unleashing a horde of flaming skulls on the city and escaping, along with the other Peacemakers and the cube. The party discovered a note that implies the Peacemakers - or at least Igraine - are working with the Brotherhood for the Restoration of the First Peoples.

The party was later told by Jingle that the Peacemakers masterminded the murder of Jingle's sister, a Guardian serving the god Tuo, about thirty years prior. Jingle, her brother, and Alaharel fought the Peacemakers, at the cost of Jingle's brother's life, and killed the Peacemaker leader. The group evidently didn't entirely disband as hoped.

### Note Found in the Sun Trail Gang's Hideout:

> Here’s your usual payment. We know you don’t like trading valuable drugs for what may seem like pointless gossip, but we assure you that everything you learn goes towards the advancement of the herald’s cause. No information is useless information.
>
> That having been said, we have a particular interest right now in anything you learn that may lead to the location of the missing artifact. None of these idiots have any clue what it is they’ve loosed, and a seal that old can only have so much power left. If it breaks, we’re all fucked. Ask all of your informants to be on watch, and start halving their helpings of diamond dust to motivate them. From what we’ve seen of the withdrawal symptoms, they’ll do anything you ask after just a few days, and this is too vital to leave to their own initiative.
>
> As to the grung that are sniffing around town, they’re also a threat to the herald’s mission. If you see one, kill it.
>
> Until the sun banishes the dark once again.
>
> - The Herald's

### Known Members

* Igraine - Also called the Herald. The leader of the group. Potentially believed to be the child of a god; certainly a genasi.
* The Herald's Shadow - A close servant to the Herald. An unknown woman whose first appearance to the party was speaking Primordial (not Aquan, presumably Ignan), and casting fireball on the barn over the Sun Trail Gang's hideout.
* A shoosuva - Not exactly a member; an infernal creature (a hyena who ate something with Infernal blood) set to guard the lair, though it was told it didn't have to fight the party. It doesn't seem to have any deep loyalty to the Peacemakers, but should probably be remembered.
* Summoner - fought and killed by the party in the Sun Trail gang's hideout. Name unknown.

## Sun Trail Gang

A gang of sun elves who sold diamond dust, a drug made from processed euphoria gas, harvested from faerie dragons. They held Marshmallow and her swarm captive for at least five years, harvesting the gas by force and brainwashing the babies and younger dragons to be loyal to them. The gang worked at least partially for the Peacemakers, who gave them the information and equipment in exchange for getting information from diamond dust addicts. Extremely disrupted if not destroyed when the party liberated the faerie dragons, and the Herald's Shadow set fire to their base of operations.

### Known members

* Ilquin - Sun elf; killed by the Herald's Shadow when she cast fireball on the building they were standing in.

## Odyva Mafia

A family of criminals based in the Gallows district. The Odyva family hails from Tsaltiui Shehad, a land of largely scalefolk, which at least one member left from for making a living through "less than honest" means.

### Known Members

* Urycis Odyva - A half-dragonborn, half-tiefling and a friend of Alyx.
* Wiotsonear Odyva - The leader of the Odyva family, and Urycis' grandmother. An elderly blue dragonborn missing several fingers. Acquainted with Doryen's "grandmother".
* Heijan Odyva - Bronze dragonborn; began serving Auntie and murdering people in the Gallows to feed to the giant octopus Moe; through Auntie, gained the power to turn into a sea spawn.
* Ettin - Kobold from Tsaltiui Shehad
* At least a few dragons are on their payroll

## Brotherhood for the Restoration of the First Peoples

A group of nobles who believe elves ought to rule as they did in the old days. Their sigil, a crown atop a stylized sun, was used to sign a letter to the Herald.

### Known Members

* Cyrellian Aretil
* Cornelius Silverhawk
