The Society

## History

Long ago, a group of scientists was exiled from the Centrum Empire on accounts of inciting uprisings and spreading treacherous lies. Their names were \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. They were forced upon a small fleet of ships with their servants, scientific materials, and a small number of followers. Before they left, they said that one day, they would return and show their oppressors the flaws in their ways. Even once the scientists were gone, the emperor remained unnerved by the promise and called upon The Mage Guild for protection. They created The Maelstrom in response. Even up until Caesar's attack on the Centrum, it was taught that the fleet of ships on which the scientists rode, was sunk by the gods.

The ships, however, did not sink. In fact, they encountered a whole new land filled with unknown creatures and plants. The scientists continued to research what items they had brought with them, but also began to build a life for themselves in their new world. They began planting crops and hunting in the nearby region. They also began to realize that the very materials they were studying from the Centrum could be found in much greater quantity around their new society. Slowly, but steadily, over the generations, their small camp grew into an empire that put the Centrum to shame.

The Society, as they came to be called, attempted to live by logic, reason, and morality, claiming that a lack of religion and hindering traditions were what made them greater than the Centrum and more efficient. The citizens of the Society split into workforces, each one in charge of a certain aspect of life in the community. The scientific members began using Heartstone radiation to sculpt the bodies of those assigned to each task, making them, in themselves, the ideal tools for their job. Every job was given a name: names which would later be referred to as the Greek alphabet. Every letter was equally respected and so were those who held them. They formed a perfect society.

They were prosperous for hundreds of years, knowledge as well as their lands expanding rapidly. New resources were uncovered and the Society grew only more efficient until one alpha had a realization. His name is not recorded. This alpha was proud of his heritage and role as a law keeper and realized that he could push the community even further. He began further mutating his fellow alphas with Heartstone radiation. And with time, the alphas began to grow taller, stronger, more intelligent, and have fewer bodily imperfections, turning them into the true, perfect humans. Before long, the alphas took control in a way no one had seen since the six traitors had been exiled from the Centrum. They became unofficial rulers, but official tyrants.

The other workforces revolted and attempted to bring back a democratic communistic Society. The alphas responsible for the illegal manipulation were executed for sabotaging the Society's equality. But despite that, the remaining alphas continued to use their superiority and new wealth to remain in higher authority than the other workforces.

Seventy years later, the alpha warlord Sirena Lune amassed an army and took control of nearly all of the Society. In the 19th year of her campaign, she held a peace council with all 21 enemy warlords, suggesting that they unite to prevent further bloodshed. Together, they declared the war illogical and wasteful and formed the first sovereignty in the Society. Sirena Lune became the first sovereign and for centuries the Lune family lead the Society in peace and prosperity. As time went on, the socioeconomic gap that separated the workforce expanded. The alpha remained at the top. The injustice birthed anarchist terrorist organizations, black market conglomerates, and eventually a rebellion. This rebellion was lead by a zeta who called himself \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. It resulted in the Society being fractured into three different parts: the Core, the Republic, and the Rim.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ united the inferior workforces as well as resistance organizations under the hope of equality and restoration of the old code. Soon his rebellion controlled 46% of the Society territory. The tensions between the workforces only grew and the three new dominions separated into military entities, each gathering strength.

## Coming to the Centrum

Rumors began to spread throughout the Society that there were large amounts of Heartstone beneath the Centrum landscape. Alpha Atlantia Grimmus of the Core, went with a third of her forces to harvest it.

## Technology

The Society is known in the Centrum for their superior technology and scientific knowledge. Much of their technology is powered by jumpstones which provide power not easily accessible from elsewhere. They have the ability to power full-blown machines. They have devices which range from cannons that fire people over walls, to turrets which fire beams of highly concentrated light.
