Faction: Abyss Knights (not Knights of the Abyss)

Characters To Keep Straight & Avoid Murdering
Master Thissa: A figure in black armor bearing a black halberd (which may or may not be THE Black Halberd, although it's inconsequential). When out and about, usually on lizardback. Male Slith, although he never reveals himself and there are fairly few opportunities for him to be unmasked in the field. Is an expert warrior and tactician of modest ability; spends the most time of any of the Masters around Bargha.
Whether Thissa is a surname, given name, or even a name at all is not yet clear.
Master Opus Xao: Red-haired man, pale. His accent has the faintest twinge of Aizoan (not Aizoim). Tends to wear light armor, if any; he is a field leader and an expert on stealth and diplomacy. The most outwardly dynamic of the Masters, although he does not have any pretentions or designs toward leadership.
Master Rhys: A slight figure; an archer by combat practice, but better-known for his avarice, astounding even to his fellow Knights. A capable and driven quartermaster. Tends to avoid combat; his command composes principally supply trains, vault guards, and the like.
Master Raocosic Xadus: The military mastermind of the Masters' circuit. Does not shy from personal combat, but generally of better use to his faction as a tactician. The exception to the pervasive darkness of the Abyss Knights, his resplendent chain mail and glowing blade tend to make him look like a leader in any situation. Of the same background as Xao, but a far more recent arrival; not anywhere near as pale as his fellows, but a ruddy, healthy-looking man with well-groomed red hair.
The other Masters: As yet unintroduced, but as you have probably divined by now, the power behind the shifting Grandmaster's throne. At least one has not shown up yet.
The Grandmaster: A deft or sharp-witted man aspiring to the position is extremely uncommon, and its occupants tend to reflect that. The present one, Jan Boleslaw, is a physically powerful but not exceptionally intelligent, and ambitious but not anywhere near as much as the shadowy Masters. His rule is unlikely to last more than about a year and a half; even if he should avoid periodic attempts on his life, the Masters tend to throw out their leader every couple of years or so to prevent any one from growing too entrenched.

Who We Know And Why
Knights of Old Avernum: Dragooned into moving east by the Abyss Knights' threats; neither faction considered fighting the other a worthy investment of scarce resources.
Disciples of Death: No direct contact, but the Abyss Knights are well aware of the undead presence to their west, along with nearby specialists in dark powers. A special band has been outfitted with blessed or disruptive weapons in order to protect against any encroaching threats; efforts to extend Abyss power into the west have generally been discontinued.
Cult of Grah-Hoth: No sustained contact; a single incident wherein a semi-ranking Slith mage defected with an invaluable artifact has likely made the Knights a permanent enemy in this faction, however.

Where We Are Likely & Unlikely To Show Up
Likely: the western Great Cave - as far east as Gnass; the rubble caverns, western waterways and lands drained by the same; isolated coastal areas of the surface
Unlikely: Any lands substantially west of the Abyss have been placed off-limits by the Masters due to the apparent threats in the area and lack of substantial profit to gain from controlling it. In addition, the Knights' affiliated pirates play an extremely limited role in surface affairs, preferring to prey on the weak and infirm, and are seldom found in areas not already known for their pirate problems.

Post 1: The past and present of the Abyss Knights.

Post 2: Thissa discusses the undead threat with Grandmaster Vogt.

Post 3: The assassination of Karol Vogt and his replacement with Jan Boleslaw.

Post 4: The robbery of the Onyx Scepter and the defection of Makhass; first contact between the Knights and the Cult of Grah-Hoth.

Post 5: The Council discusses recent findings.

Post 6: In which things begin to turn into some kind of burlesque.

Faction: Adventurer's Guild (aka "The Guild")

Characters (Not to be Murdered):
Rubicante: All leaders of the Guild have historically abandoned their own name and taken up the pseudonym of "Rubicante" upon achieving the position. The current Rubicante is a portly tactician and administrator with a handlebar moustache and an impeccable sense of style. He tends to enjoy working through the shadows since the fall of civilization, but he also tends to only oppose outright evil organizations.
Cagnazzo: He is the leader of the pirate navy that is more and more rapidly becoming an authoritative arm of the Guild. Cagnazzo currently controls what is estimated to be the world's strongest unified navy, although he does not own the oceans.
Scarmiglione: A mostly shadow figure previously encased in a golden sphere due to his tendency for wanton violence and unusually high amounts of power.
Barbariccia: Not a biological character necessarily, Barbariccia is a gigantic, heavily-fortified naval fortress more than any sort of ship. It's technically mobile, although especially since the fall of civilization, it has acted as a relay point for Guild activities. Its hull is magically defended, it has a few (but not many, as such things are ridiculously difficult to create) magical artillery cannons, and an egregious number of conventional naval guns. It was an incredible drain on both the Guild's and Cagnazzo's finances, but serves as an incredible source of pride for the organization and symbolizes their alliance.

Contacts:
Order of Krell- The Druids and the Guild are allies and are assisting one another in making war on the Hunters.
Looters- The Guild has entered a tentative alliance with the Looters against the Hunters.
Hunters- The Guild has used its naval strength to strangle trade and has been using its connections to war on this faction in a clandestine fashion that does not immediately incriminate them (although the Hunters by their nature may suspect the Guild).
Khoth's Disciples- The Guild has sent down adventurers to assist the Disciples in a quest.
Karnold Isles League- The Guild is negotiating with the League about the menacing Dominion.
[The Guild knows of Aizoan Empire, Righteous Return, Keepers of Memory, Enlightened Anama, Dominion of the Learned and Abyss Knights, but has declined to contact such organizations for varying reasons.]

Sphere of Involvement:
Likely- The oceans between Vantanas, Pralgad and Valorim. Northern Vantanas is friendly towards the Guild and is a ground-based rallying point. Otherwise, Guild members tend to travel quite ubiquitously.
Unlikely- Avernum and Upper Avernum have seen a drastic decrease in Guild activities since the revolution. The Great Cave has become utterly devoid of any Guild presence since the fall of regional authorities and the resurgence of the Abyss Knights. Pralgad has not seen much Guild activity due to the anti-human/anti-adventurer sentiment of its factions. Aizo has seen no real activity either.

Post 1: A mysterious being named "Satsujin" pressures the Guild into relinquishing an item capable of summoning Scarmiglione.

Post 2: Guild's invisible spies find the Hunters' magical tome but trigger an alarm, escape without being captured.

Post 3: Pirate ships wall off the southern coast of Valorim, preventing mercantile fleets from entering or leaving Hunters territory.

Post 4: Rubicante ponders ways to take down regimes in S. Valorim. Guild sends aid to Khoth's Disciples.

Post 5: Guild accepts the Looters' offer since it was their plan in the first place. Scarmiglione's summoning begins.

Post 6: Cagnazzo's navy intercepts Drale's faux-mercantile fleet and helps them reach Krizsan.

Post 7: Cagnazzo's navy brings the Looters into Krizsan's harbor, Guild sends in reinforcements, heavy Hunters forces begin amassing outside of Krizsan.

Post 8: Satsujin reveals itself as a feline humanoid. Scarmiglione enters the demon-filled crevasse.

Post 9: Pirates withdraw from the immediate area of the harbor and fire on armed peasantry, decimating them and their harbor structure. Snipers force the pirates belowdecks. Pirates begin firing on buildings acting as sniper roosts. Lyonard sends grenadiers out to meet pirates; pirates begin shooting blindly at Lyonard's men.

Spellcasting men in Hunters uniforms gathering around a well kill off a messenger after doing something to the well.

Post 10: Captain Guido receives word that the Hunters have evacuated their magical tome. Lyonard retreats under heavy cannon fire with minimal casualties. Looters and Guild agents make it into harbor. Guild offers assistance to Karnold Islands.

Post 11: Guido fires cannons into ambushed Looters and Sergeant McCallister's forces. McCallister retreats. Guido fires a flaming arrow into the Hunters' attempt to pour oil into the water, causing a loud and destructive explosion. Guido sends word to Admiral Marco to send some men east to recover the magical tome.

Post 12: Tygra begins becoming unhinged since the mind-liberation of his army and officers corps. Lyonard and McCallister begin taking control of the situation.

Post 13: Lyonard assassinates Tygra and nominates McCallister to be the new leader of southwestern Valorim in order to avoid attempts on his own life.

Post 14: Lyonard calls in Malphis, a former Imperial Interrogator, and asks that he begin weeding out Guild agents in the "Alliance of Science and Education." Lyonard outlines his plans to court the support of the Order of Krell in order to restrain the Guild's activities.

Faction: Order of Krell

Important characters:
-Brother Clearwater - Leader, senior druid. Capable priest.
-Sister Elmleaf - Most talented healer in the islands. Resides in the Order temple in Ivrel, on Krell. Found cure for Hunters' mind control.
-Brother Redscale - Slith druid in charge of any military force Krell can be said to have. Heads the training halls of Feldspar. Currently set to lead a relief party to the "volcano".
-Brother Yewbark - Druid leading the negotiating party docked in Woodsmuir. Currently a "guest" of King Accis.
-Sister Quartz - Druid leading the party to be sent to Valorim.
-Named emissaries to the islands: Rincon (Eos), Encras (Numindia), Ethoss (Skarrifisk), Joaquin (Ouracasos), Hmirra (Tanan), Yarosk (Trobi)

Islands in the chain:
-Ouracasos
-Laessos
-Tanan (emissary is a nephil)
-Halitarn
-Skarrifisk (emissary is a slith)
-Ona
-Numindia
-Eos
-Krell (headquarters: Ivrel - other cities: Oakton, Aspen Mines, Feldspar)
-Trobi
-Isidar
-Freslari
-Polir
-Ysanto
-Sipan
-Teguka

Involvement: Mostly Vantanas for the moment, as the Order seeks to negotiate with self-proclaimed King Accis of Woodsmuir, and one day re-unite Vantanas. While the Order has supplied the herbs to resist the Hunters' mind control, the Council is currently reluctant to send proper troops to Valorim and fight. Other than that, a state of war is assumed between the Hunters and Order, in part due to the devastation of the Order's Kriszan temple.

The odds of the Order getting involved in other continents is fairly slim. Avernum is pretty much out of the question.

Posts:
#1: Faction intro, Brother Clearwater awaiting two final emissaries.
#2: Clearwater forms the full Council of Krell.
#3: Established locations, welcomed mainland refugees, and began Council meeting.
#4: Meeting interrupted by discovery of the Hunters' slaughter of Valorim temple. Next Day: Clearwater gets boatload of prisoners from the Guild, and the Council kind of supports war with Hunters.

#7: No undead for you, Goldenking.
#8: Clearwater meditates, Yewbark retreats, and a group is commissioned to infiltrate the Hunters' territory.
#9: Yewbark is trapped in Accis's territory, Clearwater ponders his next move, and Sister Quartz leads the Order's infiltrators over the ocean.
#10: Yewbark and Quartz see the star and freak out, while Clearwater mistakes it for a volcano, sends out a relief party.
#11: Clearwater and Quartz do nothing, Yewbark meets Accis, and Redscale's party sees first rakshasi, and a demon-filled portal opens up nearby.

Faction: The Keepers of Memory
Notable Characters:

Master Alfgar:

Leader of the keepers and bearer of the grandiose title "Grand Librarian and Archivist". Alfgar has just passed 60 years, quite old for a human without magical abilities.
With a portly, even beefy stature and red hair that is only beginning to be tinged with grey at the edges, he might look like a merchant more than a librarian - but don't let that fool you. If there is someone more knowledgable about history, then it can only be a dragon.
Alfgar is driven by an idealism that can only be afforded by people at the top of reclusive, non-competing organizations. He believes that the purpose of the Keepers is to better the world through their wisdom, and to keep it in balance. Many of the more controversial decisions - such as dealing with the Nephilim warriors - are made without his input, or in spite of his concerns.

Magister Tarsin:

One of Alfgar's advisors, Tarsin has a much less idealist view of the world. His loyalty is to the library and its books alone. It would be too much to say he would sell his grandmother for a complete history of Dragonkind, but he would probably try to haggle for a better offer.

Tarsin is one of the more traveled of the library's ranking members. Frequently tasked with the acquisition of new records, it was also he who initiated contact with the Fahif.

Somewhat younger than Alfgar, Tarsin stands a good chance of succeeding him when he resigns - leadership of the faction is neither life-long nor hereditary - but he has little ambitions for the position, knowing the taxing responsibilities that are hardly outweighed by the power.

Lieutenant Skorgere:

A common soldier in the pay of the Keepers. In spite of his mercenary status, he has been in the library's service for many years.

Magus Orson:

The commander of the northern defenses, Orson is possibly the most powerful wizard the Keepers have. In spite of their extensive archive of magical knowledge, this does not say a lot. His specialties are magical communication and scrying, which has allowed the library to gain better intelligence than ever.

Like most mages at the library, he is primarily a researcher, not a battlemage. His knowledge is extensive, but his combat abilities are just passable.

Falko:

A mercenary archer.

Contacts:

Fahif Nephilmerhas Fianas:

Magister Tarsin met with the group in an attempt to find information on nephilim culture. What he found instead was far better: One of the elder shamans turned out to be proficient in a nephilim dialect long thought to be extinct.
In exchange for certain information and assistance, Tarsin was able to gain the shaman's aid in translating a history of the Ratbane clan.
Tarsin has gained a better standing with the nephilim than he is aware, and far better than he hope to when he introduced himself to them as "a seeker of knowledge".

The Goblin Goblins:

Less a "contact" than the Keepers' awareness of the growing activity of the nearby goblin tribe, this relation is almost implicitly hostile even though the most harmful contact yet has been Falko punching a drunk goblin to knock him out.

The Order of Kaz:

Not much of a contact. The keepers have grown aware of a ship passing through the delta, traversing the Jsoulza Gulf and landing at the rocky coast some distance to the north of the citadel; that is all.

Presence:

The Library Citadel: An imposing building set into the rock face of a canyon near the Wyvern Pass, near the southern end of the Ndovlu Mountains. The building is protected by its location more than anything. Hard to find if you are merely passing through the pass, accessible only by a narrow path leading over many bridges, and overlooking the whole canyon. In terms of defense, the citadel is manned by slightly over a hundred soldiers (mostly mercenaries) and a total of around 300 people in total, including loremasters and other staff.

Wyvernton: A small village at the entrance to the Wyvern Pass, the village is not actually controlled by the keepers, but is its chief trading partner and food supplier. The library has a permanent liaison who also acts as the town sage.

The Northern Passes: Not a settlement at all, but a strategical passage through the mountains lying north of the citadel, which is regularly patrolled.

Posts:

#1: Introduction. Northern defenses strengthened. Deal with Nephilim.
#2: Alfgar receives a book from Moon. Orson and Falko patrol the northern passes, capture a goblin.
#3: Interrogation of the goblin. Alfgar receives a report notifying him of the Kaz ship that is approaching.
#4: Orson and Falko arrive at the citadel.
#5: night. the goblins arrive.

Faction:Karnold Isles League

Tenet:Protecting What is Ours.

Character Roster (Or everyone that has Dialogue)

Mistress Irnai: Leader of the League. A sharp mind and skilled sailor, Irnai lead the operation for taking back the isles. After this she created the faction to protect her home. However she possesses a sinster streak with her admiration of the human sacrifice of criminals and such to the Sea Gods.
She is in her early forties and keeps her graying hair up in a bun. Years of sailing have given her wiry strength. (Don't Kill)

Mrrsa: The resident mage/shaman of the League. Also second in command. Although having large amount of power, her body's growth seems to have been stunted by this- her height under five feet. In appearance this dark furred nephil (despite her actual age) looks more like a child than anything else.
Mrrsa was stuck in Gorst when she met Irnai and together they plotted to take back the isles. Mrrsa is also a member of the Adventurer's Guild and a retired adventurer. (Don't Kill)

Sargent Harris: He is called this despite being of being of higher rank. He is in charge of the military on the islands. The man favours a Halbard although he is no slouch a down a dirty fighting either. (Don't Kill)

Irnai's Assistant: As of yet unnamed, it is this man's job to help her sort out all the reports and paperwork that has materialised since starting the league. He seems well used to dealing with Irnai's rants and occasional morbibity.

Wavespeaker Kelas: One of two of the Island Priests.

Brother Jamid: An acolyte.

Sister Alket: Another acolyte of Kelas.

Forces (Or what kind of island hicks we have)

Town Guards
Soldiers
Archers

-Various small settlements on the island
Or lands are the islands in SE Karnold.

The Guild:Known via the mage Mrrsa who is a member (currently retired).
The Looters: Have been contacted by this group with offer of alliance.

Faction: The Dominion of the Learned; based in Redmark College (Southeast Valorim)

Ideology:
The main goal of the Dominion is to preserve the well-being of the learned class in the lastest incarnation of the Empire. In the past the magi and scholars were held accountable to the government, at most being a power behind the throne (as in the days of Garzhad). The Dominion will preserve the rights of the learned class, their rights to have an equal or greater say in the government of the Empire, at all costs. Right now the Dominion's plans for securing the executive power of magi for the new Empire to be have been delayed in defending itself against the Anama and the Looters, and lately, the Rakshasi.

Everyone who has a name:
Magister Demetrius: Leader of the Dominion, head of Redmark College.
Archmage Diego: Previous leader of the Battlemage force in North Karnold. He and a small group of Dominion Guards and Battlemagi escaped the massacre at Angel's Rest.
Agent Celeste: Previous commander of the defenses of the mountains north of Golddale, to protect the magi maintaining the weather spell. Is now returning to the College.
Battlemage Alexandria: Former representative of the Dominion on the Fort Emergence Expedition. Now captured by the Avernite Protection League.
Archmage Tychius: Used to maintain the weather spell in the mountains north of Golddale. Is now returning to the College.
Agent Jakob: In the past, he has hired small mercenary groups to do atrocities in the name of the Anama. Presumed dead after the massacre at Angel's Rest.
Agent Denise: Along with other Agents, infiltrating Looter and Anama ranks.
Archmage Cara: A member of the College Council.
Archmage Boris: A member of the College Council.
Archmage Eliza: A member of the College Council.
Captain Erhart: One of the few survivors of the massacre at Angel's Rest. He has returned to North Karnold with a force of Dominion Guards to find what remains of the Battlemage force.
Abram: A researcher at Redmark College, who has just stumbled on a way to create a Clockwork Resonator, a mechanism that creates an anti-magic field.
Lieutenant Neilson: Erhart's second-in-command.

Relations with other factions:
Hunters: A peace treaty existed. However, the Dominion reaction to the slaying of Tygra Nyrulia was apathetic, at best.
Karnold Isles League: An unspoken truce exists. Trading occurs, but that is the extent of it. The Dominion, as of yet, has no knowledge of their alliance with the Looters.
Looters: Although not offically at war, the Looters and the Dominion are in opposition. After the attack on Angel's Rest, a parley was sent. The Dominion has no knowledge of their activities on the east coast.
Enlightened Anama: A state of war exists. Until very recently, a weather spell was in effect, which stopped the Anama from sending forces directly to Karnold. After the attack on Angel's Rest, a parley was sent to Sharimik.
Avernite Protection League: Although they have professed a sort of peace, the League has attacked a small Dominion force. Suspicious, the Dominion sent a small group of magi to the mountains surrounding Fort Emergence, to scry the area. Developments pending.
Knights of Old Avernum: A trading agreement for crystals was made, but news of it never reached the Dominion, due to an attack by the Avernite Protection League. The Dominion also has no knowledge of King Lartaynior's death.
The Army of the Bright Star: No contact as of yet, although the Army has been active in the Golddale area.
The Rakshasi: The one and only contact with the tigers was the complete destruction of Angel's Rest.
The Alliance of Science and Education: No confrontation has developed with this new faction, but the only contacts have been strained. The Alliance has annexed the land west of the Sludge River, and has begun setting a school of magic in opposition to Redmark College. After the destruction of Angel's Rest, a parley was sent to Kriszan.

Faction: Athron's Ascendancy (AA, or Athronites)

Characters Introduced:
Anthros: Dragon of Athron's brood, grew sick of the surface and inconspicuously fled to his mother's old lair. Puppetmaster of the Ascendancy. Interested in power over money, knowledge over wisdom; he is, after all, a young dragon.
Talyn: Anthros' mouthpiece and leader of the caves. Serves as figurehead, puppet, advisor and organizer of fine details.
Sitha: Talyn's Slith mouthpiece and emissary. Helps Talyn lead the caves.
Ella: Leader of the surface division of the Ascendancy. Born and raised in the Empire, travelled to Avernum out of restlessness and was in the company of Talyn at the fall of civilization. Returned more for Anthros' sake than her own.

Who We Are in Contact With: No faction is meant to know about the Ascendancy, which operates largely in the shadows, although much of the town of Mertis, before its destruction, knew of the Ascendancy.

Where We Are and Are Not Likely to Appear: Members of the Ascendancy are all over Avernum and can be found in or near all areas of the surface, but Athron's Lair is undoubtably the best place to find Athronites. Mertis, too, was a center of the Ascendancy, but that, obviously, is no longer the case.

Post 1: Introduction. Mertis merchant robbed of crystal.

Expect this post to become obsolete soon, but simply for posterity:

"Faction": The Alliance of Science and Education (ASE)
Characters:
"Citizen" McCallister: McCallister is a young, vibrant and strong-willed ex-Sergeant of the Hunters, and was a Sergeant of the Imperial Army before that. He is a competent tactician who helped deal significant damage to the invaders during the "Battle of Krizsan." He honestly believes that he has power, when in actuality he has next-to-none, but is quite popular. Currently has no title.
"Citizen" Lyonard: The true leader of the "Alliance." Assassinated Tygra. Was a Commander of the Hunters and was a Major in the Imperial Army before that. Was the most competent commander in the field during the "Battle of Krizsan," almost forcing the pirates out of the harbor. He has no title either.
"Citizen" Malphis: An ex-Imperial Interrogator. Paranoid. Has gained many enemies from his activities during the days of the Hunters. Is being used by Lyonard to expose members of the Guild still in the corps in order to guarantee political autonomy.

Contacts:
The only faction that knows of the ASE is the Guild, but the Guild has no idea how the leadership is arranged or what the faction's intentions are. All other factions either never knew the Hunters in the first place, think that the Hunters are still intact or know that the Hunters are in turmoil but do not know their current status.
The ASE also has "contact" with the Guild by trying to rid themselves of Guild members.

Sphere of Influence:
This faction currently exists only in Krizsan, and despite having most of Krizsan's military, it still has no real presence beyond Krizsan's city walls, indicated by some of the (very few) pro-Hunters rebels gathering immediately outside of the city itself.

Sorry, no.

Edit (re IC thread): NO.

Ignore this guy.

Edit: This may have come across a bit more harshly than it would have if I'd read the OOC thread first. So I guess your intentions were good. But still, no way.
