	With the return of Felicia Pendraig, the town has once again come under the rule of the noble family albeit with loyalties to a nation thousands of miles away. Felicia and her Zakharan troops took the town, with the help of River Highsun, turned it into a trading region for the entire country. Goods travel from the Port, Sundren City, and even Sestra to be traded for the rare furs, metals, and goods from the Spine. A simple taxation on the transactions has turned Aquor into a wealthy town once again, attracting mercantile interests of all kinds. Of course, this could not have happened without an intervening force. Avanthyr still takes a strong stance against both Thay as well as Sestra, and the Sundarian Empire too ostensibly refuses to conduct trade with Sestra straight out.

	A collection of goodly clerics and knights from a variety of faiths who seek out the meaning behind the Blindness of the Gods, and to work Their will through the valley. Unlike the old Arbiter’s Alliance, these young divine warriors do not necessarily adhere to the traditional means of knighthood and battle. Instead, the Vanitium welcomes all those who not only seek to work their gods’ will, but questions their faith and the faith of the more traditional and conservative orders. They are based within Sundren City, but are known to roam the wilds to not only protect travelers, but to seek out the meaning behind the gods' blindness within the valley of Sundren.

The ~~Sarahin~~, as they call themselves, are sworn to the Pendraig family and its masters in the Southern Continent. Zakharan men and women who grew up in the wastes and deserts of their homeland, they hold unique views on everything from honor to hospitality. The cultural and racial differences between the and the residents of Sundren valley has at times caused distinct tensions, but the growing population cannot be ignored.

	What the Saharin do not lack, is skill and loyalty. Their lives are dedicated to the Pendraig family, and their blades are bound to keep the Silent Peace. Woe be to those who seek to violate the Peace, for the Saharin's curved blades wait patiently.		What the Saharin do not lack, is skill and loyalty.

			While the Saharin are loyal to both Felicia and to their motherland Zakhara, the Brightspears are the Pendraig's alone. Derisively known as the "Burning Men," they are the equivalent to the Condotierri in Aquor. Mercenaries sworn to the service of House Pendraig, the house uses them to maintain their influence both inside and out of Aquor.

			The Brightspears come from many walks of life, but they all have one thing in common: sworn loyalty to the Pendraigs. They can be councilors, bodyguards, mages, spies, and anything else that the family needs in order to conduct its business. As a result, many an aspiring adventurer, born and raised in the mountain town, seek an audience with Felicia in order to gain acceptance to the Brightspear name, and the brand that marks each of their arms. Trained in combat, diplomacy, and subterfuge, these elite individuals are watched closely, wherever they go.

	~~With the separation~~ of ~~power within Sundren City from~~ the ~~Emperor~~, ~~and the landing~~ of the ~~City, there came a need~~ for ~~more specialized soldiers. As~~ a ~~result,~~ the ~~Imperial Government~~, ~~while consolidating its forces at home by dissolving the Legions into a single Legio~~ and ~~incorporating~~ the ~~Helmites~~ into the ~~Vigiles, or~~ Sundren ~~Constabulary~~, ~~has seen~~ the ~~need for soldiers with unique skills~~ and ~~backgrounds~~ who ~~do not toil away at~~ the ~~trenches~~. As a ~~result~~, ~~those with specific skills~~ are ~~sorted into~~ the ~~Legio Discenius~~ .		Lady Tehk of the Lance, sworn paladin of the Red Knight sought favor with her fellows for a purpose: to seek out the reason behind the blindness, and to remove it. A sworn faithful of the Red Knight, Lady Tehk rode off into the wilds of Sundren with a small cadre of knights, calling themselves the Vanitium. These knights are a small group even within the Triumvirate, and are seen mostly as foolish wanderers who chase the wind. Ridiculed by some, they are a priceless aid in the wilds. While they are seen rarely within civilized lands, the Vanitium protect explorers and travelers when they are come across in the wilds. Many a merchant or explorer has owed their lives to these questing knights, and they have a fearsome reputation as trackers and warriors.”

	~~The purpose~~ of ~~this particular Legio is~~ to ~~spread into~~ the valley ~~and work~~ the ~~Empire's will: whether that~~ means ~~securing its borders, or obtaining new resources, or even normalizing relations with other city-states~~. ~~These soldiers can act in any capacity~~, ~~be it spy or warrior~~, ~~mage or priest. Their skillsets still define~~ their ~~ranks~~ and ~~specializations~~, but ~~they~~ are ~~no longer bound~~ to ~~a singular command branch. Instead~~, ~~these men and women serve under~~ the ~~direct supervision of~~ the ~~Evocati,~~ the ~~elite soldiers~~ of ~~the Sundarian Legio~~.

	The Order, usually referred to as the Black Cloaks outside formal occassions, has ties to both ruling power and the main military forces in Sestra. However, it's members (separate from official positions or status as nobility outside the order) hold no actual authority within Sestra. Descended from Korvus Tehk's Knights of the Black Gauntlet, as well as the Sestran Militia headed under both Dreadmaster Exitium and Marshal Datton, these men and women are dedicated to the preservation of not only their home, but the expansion of Sestran power and the Faiths it was built upon. Firmly holding the belief that discipline and obedience are the twin virtues that precede any other, the Black Cloaks represent the most devoted members of Sestran society to the tenants of Bane, Myrkul, and Sestran superiority.
