Based in Adam Sol, The Union focuses on collaborating the efforts of all parties and nations that actively oppose The Church of Agathia. The union is led by Mahaila Fonsent, assisted by Afia Hashim and Amarto Luchesse. Besides their opposition to the church's goal of global religious unionisation, The union's intentions and actions are elusive. The union of Axis Alea were the group that initially adopted party Alea Iacta Est.

## Known History

It is known that the union is a young organisation. Operating for now more than 2 years prior to the events of Agathian Fable. The first encounter with the union was when the Alea Iacta Est party had their prison cart intercepted during the Fulloedeth siege in Ohlo. From here, a few low ranking officers from the union united the Alea Iacta Est party with Amarto Luchesse. Amarto requested the aid of the party, and agreed to unite them with the the main body of the union, where they would in vague terms "Seek to better the world", though the methods for doing so where not disclosed at this time.

The party acted as a mobile squad for the union, taking on missions for the union in Krydept and the Astenhul Diarchy. After this however, during the arena skirmish in the Astenhul Diarchy, Amarto was contacted by Afia Hashim, who ordered him to take the party to Adam Sol, where the union where based. At this time, the party overheard Afia and Amarto talking, where they heard Afia scolding Amarto, instructing him to ensure the party remain ignorant to the plans of the union. This was to be the case, until the party had at least agreed to operate on behalf of the union as commanders.

The party, who had been contacted by a deity, chose to sneak away from the ship they were travelling on, against Afia's wishes. They travelled to Uhled, where the deity had instructed them to go, so they could meet with Einar.

After the Rudrin attack on the Zanyarika tribe, the party were reunited with Amarto and Afia, who had pursued them to Uhled. From here they agreed to travel to Adam Sol, though suspicious of their intentions. The party were made commanders, a high rank within the union, and were introduced to Mahaila Fonsent, the leader of the union. Here, Mahaila informed the party that the Agathian Church intended to unionise the world under one faith, whether that be through preaching, or violent world domination. The party, now better understanding the reasons for the opposition against the church, fulfilled an additional mission for the union, where they investigated the Mavka Ruins. Upon returning, the union issued a new mission: The capture, or assassination of Doctor Vennus Brannoch. The party agreed to this mission, and departed on course the next morning. Afia informed the party before their departure that the terms of the mission had changed, and that the doctor was under no circumstances permitted to live; issuing an assassination order on him. The party grew cautious, but agreed to this change in plans.

## Defection

On the 8th of Vranthi, the party found Doctor Vennus Brannoch in his laboratory in a factory in La'a Dazir. However, before they could fulfil their mission, the Deus Vitae party appeared. The parties discussed their needs and intentions. After intense negotiations, the parties both expressed their dissatisfaction with their companies, The union and Einar respectively. After fleeing from the explosion caused by Einar, both parties agreed to sever ties with their past superiors, and agreed to form a new organisation, the name of which loaning from the names of their respective parties: forming Alea Vitae.
