The Factions
Power is meant for those who take it.
Welcome. You have access Glyph’s internal codex database on current affairs on New Albyion and other outposts »
There is a great power struggle that is brewing on Apeiros. Glyph, the most powerful and influential of the major factions, has held a tight grip on the denizens of New Albyion for quite some time.
The Glyph Hierarchy runs powerful propaganda as New Ablyion’s only hope against lawlessness and chaos in the galaxy. A smoke and mirrors game in order to keep their involvement in secretive operations and exploits out of the public eye; an act has made them highly vulnerable to subterfuge and espionage from other factions looking to profit off their illicit dealings.
Upon Ezra’s discovery of the corrupted secret archive while in service to Glyph, he found out that Glyph’s dealings led to the demise of his clan members: The Preservers.
Taking everything comprimising about Glyph he leaked it to the public and now dissent is brewing everywhere. Like vulnernable prey surrounded by hungry predators, Glyph must hold off the coming assault on its institutions and reputation while continuining its undergound operations—operations that just might be in the favor of the people of New Albyion, but only if Glyph controls the necessary Sacred Elements of Apeiros and harness their mercurial nature.
But for New Albyion to be saved, it will require the knowledge and powers of a pure Siva and Ezra will have to choose between saving everyone or saving himself—
as he’s the most wanted individual on New Albyion….
The adversarial factions opposing Glyph are probing for weaknesses, here’s a breakdown of a few of the major players so far…
Tracers: Smugglers, Bandits, Assassins, Pirates, Mercenaries, Thieves & Traders all with a code of their own. An ever growing cabal of outcasts and opportunists all personally seeking the mantle of power that resides in Glyph’s hands…for now.
Shadow Assailants: These foreign inhabitants are a strange nuisance that have recently been reported by Glyph Enforcers and intel division on New Albyion. This menace, codenamed Shadow-Walkers, have been sighted near high security areas on New Albyion. Extremely hostile and dangerous when engaged. No one quite yet knows what they’re after, but stealth and vanishment are their weapons of war, and they exert them well.
Glaive: Operatives who can withstand any conflict or danger. They are much more interested in isolation and safeguarding the status quo/over protection at all costs. Hiding is their ally, preferring strong, passive resistance to opposition than engaging in preemptive or direct warfare. The coalition of Glaive prioritizes hiding and influence through other means. To what end and means that Glaive seeks to overthrow Glyph and the others, no one knows.
Trident: They believe only the strongest should survive, and that can only happen when Trident is righteously wielding the weapon of the powerful. A disillusioned bodied of Enforcers, Tracers, and other elite warriors across the galaxy…
