Fire Keepers

**Fire Keepers** were a loose alliance comprised of about forty survivors from Forgotten Shore who shared similar beliefs and principles.

## Organization

They are those who had decided against pledging their allegiance to the Legacy clans that wanted the recruit them, as well as the government, and had not become fully independent. Although Cassie was their nominal leader, she didn't command the whole host herself. Instead, they were followers of Nephis that were divided into several cohorts, each operating in different *regions* of the Dream Realm.

They were not a formal organization, but more of a loose alliance of people who shared similar beliefs and principles. The main of which was the hope that Changing Star was going to return alive one day.

Despite being a small group of around fifty, the Fire Keepers were the best and brightest of humanity, having survived the Forgotten Shore. They had grown stronger under Cassie's guidance and undergone a comprehensive upgrade of their soul arsenals. With seven cohorts, each more powerful than the elite household troops of the great clans, the Fire Keepers were a force to be reckoned with.

Every Fire Keeper knew what they were doing, as the Dreamer Army had become a well-oiled, perfectly synergized combat machine. They all knew their comrades' strengths, quirks, and how to work together in a seamless, deadly harmony.

## History

Fire Keepers have long saturated their cores and have more than enough experience. Shim's cohort will enter a seed first, followed by two others. A month later, two more cohorts will challenge the Second Nightmare.

## Trivia

* Cassie and her cohort are initially anchored to the gateway of Night Temple.
* Cassie mentioned that they are currently anchored at the Sanctuary of Noctis.
* The Fire Keepers were going to establish a temporary base on obsidian Island. Some of them would guide the flying ship back to the Sanctuary of Noctis, and return with more supplies and enough materials to continue working on the vessel itself. Cassie entrusted the command to Shim before she ventured into the second nightmare.
* After the falling out with Valor Clan, a couple of them disappeared and the rest took shelter in the Ebony and Ivory Tower.
* When Cassie informed them of Nephis' return, dozens of them used the Gateway in the Ivory Tower and returned to the waking world for the first time in months.
* Their sleeping pods were situated in the hospital complex of the Academy.
* Clan Valor released the Fire Keepers they were holding hostage.
* Fire Keepers were dedicated to their leader, Nephis, but did not stand on ceremony. They considered Nephis the best of them, as opposed to better than them.
