The Platinum Wish

> "It's hard to explain what the Platinum Wish are, as they encompass many things. They are the bearers of happiness, the forces that remove tyrants from their rules, the kind that give the peasantfolk within the world hope that change is possible in the world." -*Esarius, "The World Archivist"*

To people within governments across the world, the whistle and whispers of the Platinum Wish shows signs that change is needed. However, these whistles can also signal the start of the tides of rebellion within a nation. The Platinum Wish, which has it's influence on almost every continent, is mainly underground as people who openly and proudly follow this group are deemed terrorists and anarchists by almost every political identity in the world. However, they are not terrorists or anarchists by any means. They are just people who strive for change, and wish to give the common and peasantfolk the assets those that are above them have.

### Structure

The thing that makes the Platinum Wish interesting as an Organization is that there is no real defined leader. The group's main purpose is to be stealthy and make positive change from behind the scenes. Having no leader ensures that people can take the Platinum Wish's ideals to their own degree. People who proclaim to be leaders of the Platinum Wish are often looked upon with disgrace as it's a general rule that there are no leaders to the group.

### Titles Within the Platinum Wish

* Tier 1: Wishgivers - 1 Renown (Basic rank within the Platinum Wish)
* Tier 2: The Silenced - 10 Renown (Second rank given to Wishgivers who have helped out a local town dealing with strife and have local renown)
* Tier 3: Changebringer - 25 Renown (Third rank within the Platinum Wish, with which this rank has brought change to a wider area and region within a local space)
* Tier 4: Folk Hero - 50 Renown (Fourth rank within the Platinum Wish, this rank implies that these people are hidden within folk tales within Aedir. Whether it be a soldier who slain a tyrant king or a someone who brought peace between two warring factions, people above this rank are set in stone in these tales for time to come, making this faction permanent)

* Tier 6: Philanthropist - 500 Renown (The highest rank within the Platinum Wish, as this rank is given too government insiders who work for the Platinum Wish and try to strive for positive change from within)

### Public Agenda

The public agenda of the Platinum Wish is not so public. There really is no public agenda as they are an underground organization and there are usually 1 if not 2 members in a designated region. It's a general consensus that the "goal" of the Platinum Wish is that they wish to strive for positive change within regions, countries, settlements, any political entity. If there is a tyrant that runs a city, you better believe that the Platinum Wish is trying to figure out a ways to dethrone them in a peaceful way if possible. They make the goals almost seem like an ideal and a way to live life, as a way to make it hard to crush this way of thinking. They also wish to benefit the betterment of those in the lower classes. Leaving a stray gold piece on a table so that a peasant could eat at night, or helping a fisherman work for free so that he can obtain more wealth. The Platinum Wish's ways of accomplishing their goals and aspirations are extremely diverse and can be unique to each area in their own different contexts.

### Assets

No one really knows the depth of the Platinum Wish's assets. Do they have a million troops or is it one bard who can tell *really good stories*? No one really knows, which is what makes the Platinum Wish more than just an Organization but an ideal and a lifestyle itself. This has the inverse benefit of making it hard for governments to strike the Platinum Wish, as it would be incredibly detrimental to their regime to try and crush this ideology. So most governments try to subtly and quietly suppress this ideology, which rarely works due to the dubious workings of this faction.

### History

As stated before, no one really knows when this group was founded, however, bards speculate through various folk tales on how this group formed. One of the famous folk songs of this groups foundation is known as *"The Wish of a Lifetime"*, which is a simple song practiced by young Bards.

> *The Wish of a Lifetime* "There once was a time when there was strife in the world, Where demons reigned and conflict swirled. Where tyrants ruled with a big iron fist, Cracking down on freedoms which did not exist. Then one day, 8 mages coalesced, Who strived for change and went on a quest. To make the world happy, that was their goal, To find the Wish spell scroll. They eventually found the Wish spell scroll, And in one instant the world became whole."
