The Seven Factions (Zasliija)

In the political world of Karrouxiun, sheer strength and display of power often allows **one** faction to elevate to the apex status (Sovran**)**. Since then, all of the seven factions waged war against one another to achieve the power but for the longest time in the centuries Flaswynphter has won the status in succession. Redraxruus however was fierce competitor and manage to assume the Sovran status as much as Flaswynphter and hence these two Factions are the most powerful during the Zasliija era.

## Flaswynphter, the Sovereign of the Skies

Nationality: Flaswynphtera

Faction type: Systematic Aerial Military Powers

Arguable the most notorious and powerful faction on Karrouxius, the Flaswynphteras have the vicious attributes of skills and talents, gifted with the virtually uncontested wits second to Exoulbrounyr-Drakkars which breeds them into deadly cold-hearted killers.

**The Sovran title has been earned 60% of the time during the Zasliija era.**

A Flaswynphtera is a winged Karrouxian with potent capabilities that supersede flyers who are non-Flaswynphtera. The whole faction of Flaswynphter is fully militarized and established for aerial warfare (which can even somehow counter naval forces extremely well), therefore they are called Atmos Sovereign of the Skies, almost the entirety of the atmosphere of Karrouxius are their territory and fall under the Strateussul Domains, anyone entering these domains will be engaged by a Flaswynphtera, where most will not survive from the aerial battles.

Strateussul is the main body of the army. It is not uncommon to misinterpret that Flaswynphter as Strateussul, because even the militarized faction still needs to maintain their own economy. Flaswynphter however has very little capabilities in sustaining itself in a macroeconomic perspective, therefore they resort in territorial conquest and exploit other factions’ gains of resources.

*Roughly 50 years before the integration of the Galtagress philosophy:*

They have forged a connection with the Exolbrounyr-Drakkar to sustain the dominant control in terms of military prowess through a diplomatic contract. This was issued by the Atmos Delegate, Skysollaen in an attempt to counter Redraxruus' weapons with a completely new technology using the capabilities of Lifyrxia.

As a result, Flaswynphter led by Skysollaen had annihilated the Redraxruus faction and regained their Sovran title. Until the Galtagress era, Flaswynphter assumed monopoly over almost the entirety of the world except for Exoul-brounyr Drakkar and Osyaftann nations.

## Exoulbrounyr-Drakkar, the Exalted Drakkars

Nationality: Exoulien

Faction Type: Research & Development, Pioneers of Lifyrxia tech

Formerly known as Broukanni Drakkar faction, the weakest of all the Sevens. It was not long after the diplomatic relations with the Flaswynphter it became Exoulbrounyr-Drakkar, they were immediately known for their unmatched technological development based on Lifyrxia which were contributed to the Flaswynphter's conquest.

This faction was also responsible for overseeing the conforming the Seven factions to create a bureaucratic system. This was Project Katyrrefr, it had an ulterior motive to which it would collect resources from other factions through diplomatic relations while limiting their movements to attack the Exoulbrounyr-Drakkar. However, the whole operation was interrupted by the Klesyirnium event and the plan reverted to focusing on sustaining the economy by an actual diplomacy. At the same time the philosopher named Galtagress introduced the new philosophy that relies on networking and informational exchange.

The faction is inherently the most technological advanced for their progressive Lifyrxiaren practice, enabling them to harness Lifyrxia and using it to the fullest potential. The Drakkar researchers are responsible for mass producing energy efficient vehicles and devastating weapons that could decimate other nations if given the chance.

## Osyaftann, the Oceanic Devout

Nationality: Osyaftanne

Faction Type: Free-spirited acolytes. Lower Echelon: Developing societal system

**Before the Exolbrounyr-Drakkar Inception:**

The Osyaftann is supposedly the heaven and earth to the Flaswynphter but their philosophies clash too greatly as Flaswynphter.

Unlike other factions, there is no fixed structure of society for Osyaftann as none of the aquatic Karrouxians are interested in integrating any affairs.The Osyaftanne who embraces the surface Karrouxian philosophies are an exception, the extremity of the minority who yearn for the pursuit of extensive knowledge, adopted from the legend where a Saglinnethe came in contact with Osyaftanne, although most Osyaftanne didn’t care there are several who were curious and tried leaving the waters behind to find a greater purpose.

**After the Exolbrounry-Drakkar Inception:**

A quarter of the populace of the Osyaftanne adopted the Saglinneth’s philosophy and became devout believers who embraced the deep nature of the oceans, they became strong allies with Saglinneth and created a society that supervise the waters to allow surface Karrouxians to travel safely, the Exolbrounyr had titled them Guardians..

Osyaftanne are able to evolve to become amphibious at will with the help of the Oryngrase practice, taught by the Saglinneths and Nalgruui

Their shortcomings may be their dryness and lack of high intellect, but Osyaftannes are brutal by nature and physically adapt quicker than other factions, Exolbrounyr often would recruit them as Luuranqrol to act as security and peacekeeper of the waters in their territory.

In work ethics, Osyaftannes are often found working alongside at least one Saglinneth as the two races value their own beliefs and respect one another. This is not to be confused with friendship, but there were cases of its possibilities.

## Redraxruus, the Exonerating Exiled

Nationality: Redraxruus

Faction type: Masters of martial arts and melee weaponry, Guerilla Warfare

Civilization Status: Erasure inflicted. (45 years prior to Galtagress inception)

Redraxruus is a unique faction with races not having endoskeletons, instead they have hard exoskeletons and mobile dexterity, Lluranq soldiers are proficient in CQC and melee arts that strikes down any opponents who get too close. Redraxruus had assisted Flaswynphter faction and even cooperated at one point of a time but Redraxruus betrayed the Flaswynphter by killing their supreme leader (before Skysollaen’s uprising) during the time Flaswynphter was assuming the Sovran title.

During the Atmos Delegate usurp and reorganisation on Strateussul, the Redraxruus was invaded and now became an eradicated civilization, some of the survivors lived with Saglinneth who accepted them freely and hid from the rest of the other factions. Few veteran warriors served Exolbrounyr-Drakkar to not only seek vengeance but rebuild their erased history, and thus they used Oryngrase to disguise themselves to fit in Karrouxius societies.

## Saglinneth, the Wingless Sages

Nationality: Saglinnethe

Faction Type: Religious Cultural Beliefs

Saglinnethes consist of the most spiritual Karrouxians as they strive for a true purpose in life. Their piety in their beliefs makes them unique because of this spirituality, they are attuned to Lifyrxia and discovered art of Lifyrxiaren. Their peaceful tendency is treated as a weak virtue by many of the Karrouxian factions but Saglinneths can be powerful when they need to be as their Lifyrxiaren abilities were more controlled and decisive unlike the raw release done by most Karrouxians with innate Lifyrxia manipulation.

### In the small communities

They conceive philosophy and beliefs that tie themselves to the spirit of Stoicism and many others, they aim to achieve the absolute civilization where all factions coexist peacefully. Unfortunately, this sense of faith can easily become an obsession and create cults that worship the empowerment of oneself (or having a following mindset that can be halt any progression). Saglinneths are conservative by nature and do not have the strong impulse to implement in their beliefs through practicality, although they do not pose threat they are still capable of intoxicating a Karrouxian’s mentality and deal hurt one’s psyche.

### In (rarely) large communities

Meritocracy assumes the governance in these communities, well known philosopher among integrated tribes are elected and given roles to benefit the society. Philosophy clashes and Saglinneths are stubborn, it was not very surprising for a decision to not be made among the countless arguments in hundred of years of seating. The Drakkar philosophers found out that Saglinneth still has tiniest notion to be egotistical just like the rest of the Karrouxians.

## Nalgruus, the Unscaled Hunters

Nationality: Nalgruus

Faction type: Tribal

One of the more primitive factions, the Nalgruui live in small tribes and rarely would pact with one another. Each has their own culture and traditions but their similarities lies on survival, their focus was primarily on intraspecies competition and were not interested with the factional wars as long as no one trespass their territories.

The special thing about Nalgruus is their capabilities of using Lifyrxia without the means of intellectual studying, while the level of Lifyrxiaren based on the Exoulien standards was low, it was still potent enough for non-complex practical uses. Nalgruui can use emotions to signify Lifyrxia and reach greater heights that can be on par with Saglinneths, it was said that Saglinneth and Nalgruus are the origin natives of Karrouxius while others hail from other planets but of course that’s an old tale. Interestingly enough this tale matches with Flaswynphter who believed they were the original natives on the planet.

Nalgruus tend to survive in harsh climates better than any other factions (excluding the outlier Hydmorschi), and warriors were not the only ones trained to handle such adversity. It is their innate ability to be versatile in almost any conditions despite lacking armour scale plates some Karrouxians have. It is also known that they can blend into their surroundings with chameleon properties that their hides have given certain species with such abilities.
