=Chapter 1: Lore=

When the aftermath of Lord Rytheran's manipulations with the Book of Eibhil became realized, the people of Aubueran, regardless of heritage, began to divide up into covert societies in order to attempt to gain control of the Ley-lines, parts of a greater geometric network within the earth that spreads mana, and our ability to manipulate it, around the globe. These three societies hail to very different leaders with very different goals.

Celestial Hand (Good)
Led by Ben Ten and Harlune, this society believes that in order to defeat the darkness of T'thuun and ensure the safety of the world from the Living Darkness that is said to be contained by these Ley-lines, the Isparians of Dereth must unite with the good members of the Empyrean. They make a point of stressing that though they have similar views as Asheron, they are independent of him and keep no allegiance to him nor the Strathelar Monarchy.

Radiant Blood (Neutral)
Led by Nuhmudirah, this society believes that the only way to keep the Isparian people safe is to eradicate all empyreans and anyone friendly to them that gets in their way. The fact they use armour based off of the Dark Falatacot's gift to the Fiazhat on Bur and her tendency to sacrifice her followers in blood rites is to be ignored. They hold no allegiance to the Strathelar Crown nor to the Arcanum, which Nuhmudirah used to be head of, due to both of them being tainted by Empyrean Influence.

Eldrytch Web (Bad)
Led by Lord Rytheran and Lady Aerfalle, this society believes that only through the consolidation of power under the Ice Throne of Dericost can the situation be remedied. The fact that they caused this to happen is to also be ignored. Unlike the other two societies, this one is allied under His Eternal Splendor, Geraine IV, the Firstborn.
