Werebeast, also known as the Shattered Curse, is an [[Exist]]-spawned blood-curse that has plagued [[Aloria]] for hundreds of years. Being a Werebeast causes the subject to undergo physical and mental transformations, while also giving them an insatiable hunger to feed off the Soul Essences of others, and in feeding, infecting them in the process. Werebeasts are reviled by the people of Aloria in a similar manner as [[Vampires]] are, and many would call them much the same. There is, however, a nuance with Werebeasts, where these cursed creatures take active steps to hunt the Vampires that have tried to repress and enslave them for centuries. The Werebeasts, much like the Vampires, have started forming their own societies and cultures, blurring the lines between affliction and identity as they struggle between their cursed nature and their old lives. Some Werebeasts try to live in their old societies, while others seek to live in as much isolation as they can, avoiding persecution. Most Werebeasts however have embraced their identity, and many have taken the fight back to the Vampires who tried to use their kind so long ago, and continue to hunt them. Others yet are choosing to fight the Regalian Empire, to fight back against the repression and insulting way that the Regalian authorities have clumped the Werebeasts with the Vampires and declared them unholy abberrants.


==History of Werebeast==
==Design==
The exact origin of Werebeasts is unclear, largely because of the academic confusion directly following the [[Cataclysm]]. Vampirism came into being directly after the [[Fifth Void Invasion]] and it is reasoned that Werebeasts emerged in a similar manner, yet under the auspices of the Exist forces instead of the Dark Banshee controlled by the [[Archdemon]] of the [[Void]]. Some also speculate that Werebeasts have their origins in old [[Human]] [[Cultures]] and Pagan rituals, a reason why Werebeasts were originally not easily distinguished from the legendary animals of Old Ceardian Faiths. In the fledgeling years of the Werebeasts, all were the so-called Uhr-beasts, a now distinct Soul-line of Werebeasts that were far more beastly and less organized than modern Werebeasts. The Vampires enslaved these creatures to act as their war-beasts, particularly in the [[Great Vampire Wars]], though signs of resistance followed towards the end of these wars.  
===Theme===
The Senleya Order, also known as the Sentinel Order or the Full Moon Society in Common, is a pan-Elven secret society with a Freemason aesthetic. Founded by the Lanlath and various other anti-Allorn groups just after Cataclysm upon the realization that their attempts to topple the Allorn Empire might have gone better if they had cooperated at their pivotal moments instead of waiting and letting one another fall, it is an attempt to fight back against both the Allorn resurgence and Evolist would-be replacements alike. While they enjoy privileged status in Elven states around the world, in Regalia they are only state-sanctioned, kept an arm's length from the workings of the government due to mistrust for self-sure Elven benevolence. Senleya must be Elves (but not Kathar), and must be an Estelley, Draconism, or Unionism worshiper.
===Code===
It is important to note that the Senleya are quite solitary. It is not considered a breach of Code for Senleya not to loop one another into one another's plans if they think one person is enough. It is discourteous and might have social repercussions if they fail because they refused to trust fellow Order members, but there is nothing strictly disallowed about it. Each member is their own person with their own discretion.
# Senleya members must work to prevent the loss of one another's religious and legal rights, and cooperate to get rid of anyone who would make their groups look bad to State or Crown.
# Senleya members must work to prevent the loss of one another's statehood, and must also work to undermine the Allorn Empire and anyone doing something pro-Allorn (even accidentally!) at all times.
# Senleya members must constantly work to educate the public. A Regalia that knows about cruel Allorn history, and knows how to read a map, is a Regalia that is more likely to fight.
# Senleya members must work to prevent the loss of Elven heritage, ruins, and knowledge of any kind, so that history can be accurately chronicled.
# Senleya members must work politically towards stacking the leadership and advisory councils of various cross-City groups with as many Senleya members as possible.  
# Senleya members must constantly work to reinforce and support all anti-Allorn groups, even non-Elves. This means helping Asha, Daendroque, and Eronidas, even if they do not like half the members.
# Senleya members must assist in the perpetuation of the true eternal nemesis status between the Senleya and Argentum Orders.
===Mechanics===
Guild Mechanics are freely granted to all Guild Members.
* Senleya members gain access to the [[Adapt_Point_Buy#Shapeshift_Pack|Shapeshift Pack]] (Mundane, but counts as a Disguise), but only for the duration of a Calendar Event, and with a 7 day Cooldown.
* Senleya members cannot be deceived about Elven History and Lore. If a related fact appears questionable, the Senleya Character's player may ask the DM for more information about its context as they would know it.
* Senleya members can choose to be immune to one Religious Mechanic from the [[Evolism]] religion, which must be noted on their Character Application.


The crusading of the [[Ohrneti]] and increased military repression from [[Regalia]] and the weakened Elladorian states resulted in a sharp decline of Werebeast presence, forcing them underground. This was a difficult time for the Werebeasts, as many of their lineage were proud of their beast-like forms, and eventually they sought the aid of the Exist Arken to raise them out of tribal beastliness. Some Arken acquiesced, causing the creation of multiple Soul-lines of Werebeast, each distinct from one another, and effectively ending the Uhr-beast Werebeast form as diminutive feral creatures. The Werebeasts became part of the public conscience around 150 AC when their numbers started increasing rapidly and spreading across the [[Regalian Archipelago]], particularly in low-populated areas like the Skagger lands and the marshes of [[Anglia]], as well as the [[Gallovian]] Highlands where the more pagan populations accepted their presence while continuing to hate the Vampires they were opposed to.  
==Chapters==
The Senleya are divided into different Chapters called Rites, based on certain groups' motivations for assisting in the cause. Any member from any compatible Heritage or Religion can swear to any branch.
===Add Allorn Rite here===
white lotus type beat
===Lathai Rite===
By far the largest subgroup, the Lathai Rite was the origin point of the organization. Given a charter by the Lanlath Empress Salenal after a personal tour of the devastated Allorn Empire immediately post-cataclysm, the Lathai Rite are the glue that knits the Senleya as a whole together. They are the overseers, organizers, and planners who make sure that no individual interest amongst the diverse and complicated Senleya branches takes precedence over the others, and no one gets too selfish. Sticklers for the rules and a refined wealthy presentation, the Lathai Rite are also responsible for the majority of Senleya high-class appeal and internal decorum. However, they should not be mistaken for bureaucrats: the Lathai rite is also full of zealous sword-toting Lanlath who were too impatient for change to make it in any of their native Imperial bureaus. Into the Senleya filter the boldest and loudest Lanlath who think that their people should be doing more for the world, and as quickly as possible.
* '''Lathai Mechanic:''' Lathai Rite members can extend their [[Adapt_Point_Buy#Shapeshift_Pack|Shapeshift Pack]] Mechanic onto 1 other, and can also use it outside of Events for up to 3 Hours, with the same Cooldown.
===Athentol Rite===
The Athentol Rite is composed of mostly Solvaan, but also Regalia-loyal Fin'ullen and Teledden who put the interests of that Empire first. It was founded on the belief that the Senleya mission should be expressed through a Regalian lens, that Regalia is the country destined to overtake and destroy the Allorn Empire, and also the only one capable. Centered around the Sollerian court, it is the most politically active branch in-game (because Regalia is the setting), and is responsible for making sure that Elves politically stay in Regalian good graces and in as many positions of influence as possible. Though they share the overall emphasis on their membership remaining unnoticed, Athentol Rite Senleya are the flashiest and most vocal about their desire to achieve influence as politicians, with many of them carrying Noble status. Their very pro-Regalian nature sometimes grates against the more far-flung Rites, but when in Regalia, none can deny its contributions to the world.
* '''Athentol Mechanic:''' Athentol Rite members can (with OOC consent) read emotions from other Characters, and suppress their own from being read.
===Sanraan Rite===
The Sanraan Rite, its name taken from the mythical Suvial founder, is dedicated not to the traditional Suvial art of Demonology but rather of Historiography. Sanraan is well-reputed in the academic community mostly for his honesty, because he is practically the only figure of the Allorn ascent period to write down anything without completely distorting it to suit his own Imperial narrative. The members of his Rite try to do the same by searching for truth in history wherever it can be found, and righting the wrongs of improperly kept records. This couples with a forgiveness-oriented attitude towards the past, being the most eager participants in the Senleya mission of smoothing over old wounds for the sake of the greater purpose. While most Sanraan Rite members are Suvial, there is also a sizable Star of Peace Lanlath presence.
* '''Sanraan Mechanic:''' Sanraan Rite members can make a Discord Ticket to ask the Senleya Archives about an Elven related Lore Question.
===Ularen Rite===
The Ularen is the great steppe in the midst of Daen that was historically host to the Maquixtl cultures of the continent, only for them to be driven out upon Talea's return and the ones who remained to be transformed into an oppressed class used in forced labor and pushed out of the way of military encampments. The Ularen Rite is mostly composed of disenfranchised Maquixtl and the different Elves, Fin'ullen and Teledden included, who were pushed out of the way of Talea's expansionism or forced from their native Principalities upon her return. Since they believe that the solution is to be found in the Gods, precisely some sort of strange calculus of requiring Cemaan to turn against the Allorn Empire before victory against Talea can even be considered, they are the most mystic and ponderous of the different Rites, and always the first to keep religion in mind in a situation, whether that is Estelley or Guldar Draconism.
* '''Ularen Mechanic:''' Ularen Rite members are treated as equals to the Summoner at any Divinium Summoning of their Character's Religion, and are guaranteed at least one question of their own.
===Vanelyon Rite===
The Vanelyon Rite is named after the Dregodar Prince who died alongside the Dragon Gaia fighting his cousin, the Empress. Composed of mostly Life Isldar, but also a few Aerunthar Dragonkin and some of the straggler hidden worship Draconism communities left behind in Daen, they are steeped in Dragon worship and fierce advocates for the memory of Dragons in history. Members of the Vanelyon rite are presciently concerned about the Senleya Order becoming what it hates if just one Grandmaster goes astray, as from their point of view, the line between Senleya pan-Elven belief, Allorn supremacism, and Apotheon [[Evolism]] cultism is actually quite thin and easy to cross. They operate as a sort of internal secret police that tries to hold the Senleya as a whole accountable not to run ahead with their idealism without considering what got them into the situation in the first place, an overconfidence
* '''Vanelyon Mechanic:''' Vanelyon Rite members can write messages under Magical enchantment that only other Senleya members are capable of seeing, and leave them in places.


Werebeasts continued to spread over the world, notably because unlike Vampires, their brood can be safely spread through normal reproduction and can lay dormant for decades before manifesting in an adult. Werebeast-ism, much like Vampirism, is curable and considered a blood curse by the public at large, and many states have policies consistent with Vampirism towards Werebeasts. They remain parasites on the godly and righteous civilizations of the world, even if their constant war with the Vampires is a boon to the opponents of the Void. Werebeasts form packs, while some of them remain independent, seeking out to quench their hunger for Soul Essence while also inadvertently spreading the blood-curse.
==Goals==
Since jobs and day to day tasks are covered by the Code section, the Goals section discusses major plans the Guild has for advancement.
* '''War in Heaven:''' Having studied Dewamenet and Allorn history, and in review of the modern situation, the Senleya believe that wars are won or lost in large part based on the backing and presence of Gods. It is a Senleya mission to try to work towards 'reclaiming' Cemaan from the concept of the Allorn Empire, for example. If the Senleya assess in any situation that a religious revelation would make a group that has potential to assist in the great conflict stronger, then they will quietly put their weight behind whoever is trying to make it work. The Order had a hand in Sinnavei's pro-Regalian outlook, and the reconstitution of Draconism after the Advancement.
* '''War on Land:''' The Senleya are constantly busy trying to make sure that their constituent member states (and friends) are not snuffed out before the Allorn struggle can even begin. Various priorities include making sure the Sihndar do not fall to Demons, the Suvial are not conquered by the Dread Empire, the Life Isldar are not driven out of Ellador, and the various Elven Principalities still independent are not consumed by the resurgent Allorn Empire. These priorities are often performed in a pro-Regalian scope.
* '''War of the Mind:''' The Senleya, being a deeply mystic and religious Order, believe that corruption oftentimes begins in a failing of religion. They often work towards correcting deficient interpretations of their member Religions that leave room for corruption, including syncretism that they consider unsuitable: with Evolist Gods, for example. While priests themselves are rarely part of this organization, they have a tendency to prop up priests who they believe will help keep the common folk on the straight and narrow.
* '''War for Forgiveness:''' The Senleya believe that the low reputation of the Elven people worldwide due to Allorn imperialism must be fixed. It is a Senleya goal to, while taking the past seriously and with all due respect, achieve forgiveness on a societal level between those wronged by the Allorn Empire and the Elves that are no longer part of it. This goal is so abstract and so complicated that it is difficult to find a point to begin. However, many Senleya keep it in mind in case a relevant opportunity arises, or the goal can be worked towards on a personal level.


==Werebeast Infection==
==Privileges==
Werebeast Infection can occur one of three ways. The primary method of infection is for Werebeasts to use their Soul Scry. Soul Scry is not the same as regular Soul Drain. When a Werebeast Soul-Drains, they feed by slamming or pushing their open hand into the center of a person’s rib cage and clawing their fingers at it (while in Soul-Hunger form), after which a white visible funnel of Soul-Essence travels up their hand and forearm to feed them. During this process, it becomes extremely hard for the victim to break free. The Soul Scry differs, in that the Werebeast specifically requires the victim to be restrained or incapacitated, after which they expose part of their own soul, to feed more greedily, causing both souls to be temporarily linked. This is called Soul Scry, and while Soul Drinking has a 0% chance of infection, Soul Scry has a 50% chance of infection, when the intention is clearly to infect others. When using a Soul Scry, the victim must roll /dice 1 2, with 1 being saved from infection, and 2 being infected.  
While there is no hierarchy in the Senleya Order, rewards can be achieved for seniority. When you feel your Character has finished leading the Guild through a major story beat, or has achieved something major in line with Guild principles, apply for a Privilege in the Discord Ticket Bot. Similar to Knightly rank-ups, as more Privileges are accrued, it becomes harder to gain more.
# Grants the Character a rent-free Guild Hall Safehouse that the is about the size of 2x Rental Houses that the whole Guild can share. World Staff will do interior, if requested.
# Grants the Character protection against trouble for breaking all of Low Law, and allows them to cast Magic freely without restrictions, using Elven bribes to law enforcement.
# Choose one of: Lanlath Mechanic 5, Finullen Mechanic 5, Solvaan Mechanic 3, Suvial Mechanic TBD, Maquixtl Mechanic 4, or Life Isldar Mechanic 2, and gain it.
# Grants the Character wings (feathered only), allowing Elytra flight (with use of Rockets). Combat or Ability usage immediately disables flight.
# Grants the Character an Elf Ally NPC of their desired Theme that can be used to either assist with ongoing Quests or give Quests that generate Artifactsparks.


Another method for infection is the consumption of half a cup of Werebeast blood, which can be mixed with another drink or diluted, as long as the blood was at least half a cup. This drink can both be consumed voluntarily and involuntarily. When consuming an infected drink, infection is guaranteed at 100%. The third and final method of infection is to perform the Exist Soul ritual. This involves praying to the Exist deities, before sacrificing some sort of critter animal on a Exist Altar, and then consuming at least half a cup of its blood. This Exist Blood ritual has a 100% infection rate also, but can only be performed voluntarily by the ritual performer. The first and second infection method result in the person being infected by the Soulline of the person donating the blood or Soul Scrying them, while the third ritual will result in an infection based on the Soulline the performer feels most closely connected to.
==History==
history theme is okay but change some details


Once a Werebeast has become a particular Soulline, it is no longer possible to change Soullines. There are however rumors that Prefects of the Exist are capable of mutating the Soul Curse to change into a different Soulline, so it is not wholly impossible. After infection, a person will not yet fully be infected for about 24 hours. After the first 24 hours, and up to 72 hours after being infected, the person will experience confusion, cold shakes, and hunger that cannot be satiated. After the third day, they will fully become a Werebeast and unlock mutations, while also being extremely hungry, and having a practically unstoppable soullust to find the nearest victim they can safely get their hands on and satiate their hunger. Once they have done this, the mental aspects of being a Werebeast also kick in. No Race is immune to infection from Werebeast, except Sihndar and Url (excluding if the Url is in Fine Form, in which case they can be infected). Being a Werebeast does not interfere with Racial Abilities, though Primal Aberrancy Individuals and Mages are immune to infection, as the Essences in them stop them from being infected. All Werebeasts are able to reproduce normally, like some of the Vampire Bloodlines, though they may also choose to specifically sire Dormant Werebeasts. Any child that is a Dormant Werebeast cannot develop their infection until after the age of 17, where it can suddenly erupt at any age after this point. Dormant Werebeasts cannot have their infection detected until it is becomes active, and after being cured and re-infected, they will always return to the same Soul-Line. Dormant children will always be of the Soulline of their most dominant parent if they are two Werebeasts, by whatever metric measured (Player choice). There are some additional rules:
Far less famous than the great Allorn Empresses of history but no less important are the Lathan Empresses, who have from their far more isolated position quietly given rise to some of the most important global movements in history, including the popularization of Radiant Magic theory, and the founding of the Order discussed on this page. When the Lanlath intervened during the Void Invasion to save the Allorn Empire from destruction at the hands of Demons, their Empress rode out of Lathan in person with a host of her finest guard to take survey of the situation. More than anyone was she deeply disgusted by the wretched state of Elven civilization, and the memory of pain and disgust that they had left behind in the world. But, worst of all, was her reaction to learning from the lips of those left behind what had passed in the centuries that the Lanlath had been secluded behind sealed gates. The  decline of the Suvial, the mass proliferation of Void Cults, the crippling overpopulation and the flight and massacre of the Dregodar, the departure of the Solvaan, all of these things and more she mused could have been presented if there was less distance between the affected. If the Suvial had been willing to die for the Draconism worshipers, or the Draconism worshipers for the Lanlath, then they could have lived together instead of dying apart. With this conviction in hand, she founded the Senleya Order to prevent this from happening again, and engaged in a slow century-long dialogue (as is the Lanlath way) with those who would eventually become the other member groups.


{| class="wikitable"
The Regalian loyalists, the Suvial, the Plains Elves, and even the distant, bitter Isldar were successfully integrated into a continuous organization that could and would fend for itself. However, the slowness of the Lanlath to act compared with the bickering nature of these groups that did not like each other much to begin with made the Senleya lethargic and uncoordinated, preventing them from exercising any kind of global influence in the following critical periods. Allorn revanchism re-flowered in the destroyed Principalities and prevented the foundation of any sort of Fin'ullen branch with the growth of the rival Blue Moon Society for Talea's Restoration instead, and in Regalia, a series of Purist direction changes in the government made the idea of exposing to the Regalian Crown unworkable for fear of eradication. From the end of the first century After Cataclysm until the end of the third century after Cataclysm, the Senleya for the most part focused internally on establishing functioning communication and command structure. The explosion of events from 300-312 AC has seen war break out on Daen again, Talea return, the Isldar fracture due to the Glacial's deception, and more. In the past years, the Senleya have been thrust from status as a disjointed organization that only existed on paper into the first and last line of defense against Dread agents (with whom they are the ultimate rivals), a Regalian regressive takeover, and the ultimate fear of Allorn victory and the destruction of all they have worked towards. From relative obscurity, the Senleya are now considered one of Aloria's most eminent intelligence organizations, up there with the Blue Moon Society, the Suvial Secret Service, and some say even the Slizzar.

'''OOC Note:''' Because draining is not always possible, it usually fine to assume a character has fed on an NPC citizen for day to day rp. This is purely for practicality sake, because there aren't enough players around to constantly feed every Werebeast. The only exception to this is Werebeasts who are imprisoned (who should roleplay out being deprived of Soul Essence) and Werebeasts who have certain Mutations which rely specifically on draining at a specific time, or to trigger a specific ability. In such cases, the draining must always be done IC and cannot be time skipped (save for situations where the curers are not providing consistent roleplay) or assumed from an NPC. If you suspect a player has not fed off a person but is using a draining based ability anyway, report them to Lore Staff for God-Rp. Everyone should always keep in mind, however, that being fed on, or being turned into a Werebeast, is not a consent-based thing, and should always be roleplayed out for character development sake.

| style="width: 8%;" | Soul Drain
| style="width: 8%;" | Werebeast Spell
| style="width: 8%;" | Direct Touch
| The Werebeast hungers for Soul Essence, needing to feed on a regular basis to remain in control of their sanity and not turn into a feral beast. Feeding can be done on any non-Vampire or non-Werebeast, with Primal Mages and Primal Lineage targets being especially juicy and tasty for the Werebeast. Soul Drain is activated by Direct Touch. If a Werebeast and their target are alone, Soul Drain also paralyzes the target, making them unable to escape or move, but still aware of what is happening around them. If other non-Werebeasts are within Emote Distance, this paralyzing effect does not occur, and the target can wrestle themselves free. Draining takes about 5 minutes, and if completed, leaves the target exhausted for 5 minutes after the Soul Drain completed. Soul Drain can be used in Normal Shift, Halfbeast Shift, and Beastmode Shift. If a Werebeast is denied Soul Essence for more than a week, they are locked into Beastmode and become feral, unable to respond to communication, until they have Soul Drained anyone, after which they turn back.
|-
| Normal Shift
| Constant Passive
| Self
| Normal Shift is the default state of the Werebeast. While in Normal Shift, the Werebeast can use all Werebeast Abilities from their Fusions, but looks entirely normal otherwise. It however does not apply any Physical Stat bonuses gained from the Fusions
|-
| Halfbeast Shift
| Beast Shift
| Self
| Halfbeast Shift allows the Werebeast to apply some animalistic features to their appearance, but it does not wholly make them unrecognizable as Beastmode does. For example, they might have tufts of hair on their face, larger canine teeth, hair or scales on their forearms, or feathers on their back. Their face should still be roughly recognizable as their Normal Shift, but can also have a flattened and widened nose, etc. Additionally, their eyes become bright silver with a light blue glow. It however only applies half the Physical Stat bonuses gained from the Fusions. This Beast Shift can be maintained indefinitely, and transforming is instant
|-
| Beastmode Shift
| Beast Shift
| Self
| Beastmode Shift allows the Werebeast to apply their entire animalistic appearance from all Fusions. This means their skin will be replaced with fur/scales/feathers/carapace, their head changes to that of an animal. The shape remains humanoid, that is to say, an Ursarr does not turn into a bear, but their skin and head appears like that of a bear, making them appear like one, and they become entirely unrecognizable. Additionally, their eyes become bright silver with a light blue glow. It applies the full Physical Stat bonuses gained from the Fusions. This Beast Shift can be maintained indefinitely, and transforming is instant<br />
|}
==Fusions==
Fusions are like Mutations for Werebeasts. While any Werebeast is always an Ursar, Raprann, Uthurenn or Scorrico, they gain additional so-called Fusions that add animals on top of the base animal. For example, if a Werebeast is infected as Ursarr, they can gain additional fusions of the Wolverine, Grizzly and Walrus. In such cases, the Werebeast must always appear 50% like a bear in Beastmode, but can have additional aesthetics divided over the remaining 50% from the other animals. This would result in the shape of a bear, with the snout of a Wolverine, the fur patterns of a Grizzly Bear, and the tusks and whiskers of a Walrus. Players have freedom to design their own aesthetics within the confines of the base+Fusions, but must always respect 50% clean base animal. For Ursarr, this is just a generic Bear, for Uthurenn a generic Wolf, for Scorrico a generic Ant, and for the Raprann a generic Falcon. Fur, feather, carapace or scale colors and patterns are up to the players to decide, with some notable exceptions (for example: Only Polar Bear has the right to white fur in the Ursarr line). For all unique traits, refer to the list below:
====Unique aesthetics by Fusion====
* Polar Bear: Only those with Solitude of the Polar Bear can have white fur as Ursarr
* Wolverine: Only those with Stalk of the Wolverine are permitted a long tail as Ursarr
* Fox: Only those with Prowl of the Fox are permitted orange fur as Uthurenn
* Glorybird: Only those with Song of the Glorybird are permitted dazzling colors and peacock feathers as Raprann


'''Note:''' It is mandatory for Werebeasts to write a description of their Werebeast’s aesthetics through the fusions on their Character Application, in a “Werebeast Shift” section. It is also mandatory to list the exact Fusions chosen. Having a separate skin for shifts is not required, but strongly recommended. Each Fusion has a distinct animal mentioned, of which the aesthetics are carried over. The only one that is vague is "Glorybird" which stands for a general collection of Paradise Birds from tropical regions.
==Trivia==
 
* The Suvial Secret Service is not part of the Senleya Order: it is loyal to the Suvial Princes directly. In fact, they and the Senleya have fought before, when cooperation has been at low points.
===Fusion Chart===
* The Senleya often know and greet one another by wearing signets of silver moons on the ring finger of their left hand, opposite where a marriage ring would be, and flashing them from under cloaks.
[[File:Safdasfaass.png|center|frame|The Fusion Chart]]
* Senleya symbolism is all moon-focused and moon-oriented, with passphrases, sayings, and symbology of moons plastered all over everything. The Lanlath, Estel zealots, and the Isldar are equally to blame.
===Fusion Chart Rules===
* A Character must always start at the center, and pick one of the four main lines: Ursarr, Uthurenn, Raprann or Scorrico.
* A Character may only move in the direction of the arrows, never back.
* A Character may only make a total of four steps. Each Abilities per step is gained at no cost.
* Starting Fusions and ending Fusions both give +2 Abilities, while middle Fusions give only +1 Abilities.
* It is not mandatory to pick up to 4 Fusions. A player may cut off at the second Fusion, but it is recommended to make the full 4 for the total 6 Fusion Abilities.
* A player may, despite having 3 Fusions, ignore the aesthetics of these Fusions entirely and have the aesthetics only based off the base Soul-line, for example Ursarr.
* All Werebeasts have the Base Kit (see above) by default. Fusion Abilities are added on top.

| style="width: 8%;" | Self
| The Werebeast is able to extend their nails, forming black sharp claws, capable of tearing through armor up to and including chain-mail. This Ability has no cooldown, and can be enabled and disabled instantly. If the Ability is Countered, it goes on a minute cooldown. If the Werebeast has any other Ability that gives them claws or nails with a special function, this Ability gains the functions of all of those Abilities.
|-
| Ursine Hibernation
| Trigger Passive
| Self
| The Werebeast, while sleeping, recovers from all great wounds inflicted on them. This ability is only in use during off-time, meaning the healing effect takes place when the player is asleep. This healing effect removes all wounds bar from dismemberment (or other removed body parts) but does leave behind scars. The sleep must be for a period of 6 hours or longer for the healing to take effect at all. Being ‘knocked out’ in battle does count as being put ‘to sleep’, as does taking alchemical supplements to induce sleep.

If the Ability is Countered, it goes on a minute cooldown. If the Werebeast has any other Ability that gives them claws or nails with a special function, this Ability gains the functions of all of those Abilities.

| Mauling Brawl
| Werebeast Spell
| Direct Touch
| Once per day, an Ursarr is able to use a single melee attack that ignores any and all shield Abilities, deflect Abilities or anti-mundane-melee deflection or immunity mechanics. The Ability part of this attack only rendered the defence mechanic null and void, the attack is mundane, and can still miss if the roleplay situation would cause it to.

| Winter Embrace
| Constant Passive
| Self
| The Werebeast has complete immunity to cold, cold damage, Ice or Cold based Sorcery Spells or Magic Spells, ice effects, ice-based constrictions, or other cold-based damage effects. Furthermore, the Werebeast is not slowed down by any thickness of snow, no matter what form they are in, or how deep the snow is.
|-
| Solitary Hunter
| Constant Passive
| Self
| The Werebeast’s mentality shifts, and they gain a solitary attitude, a dislike for any and all other Werebeasts (often even their own children). At most, they might tolerate a single Raprann to closely work with, resenting any other form of attachment. Additionally, while fighting completely alone against at least two (or more) enemies, the Werebeast gains +2 Physical Stat (that can break the Physical Stat Limit) for each opponent they are fighting. This can stack with all other Physical Stat boosts, but cancels out as soon as someone aids them in a fight either through Mundane or Magical means, and can never exceed more than +10 Physical Stat derived from 5 combatants. Additionally, for each opponent, their size increases by half a foot, while their musculature also increases in size. These effects are however purely aesthetic and do not actually make the Werebeast more powerful.

| Iron Jaws
| Werebeast Spell
| Direct Touch
| The Werebeast can, when biting down on someone or with at least one hand touching a piece of armor (for example an arm-guard or bracer, or a helmet, or curiass), use overwhelming force in their hand or jaws to crush that armor piece. The armor piece itself is rendered useless, it remains attached to the body in a broken state, but no longer provides protection against further attacks. If this Ability was used on a limb like an arm or leg, then this limb is additionally paralyzed for 2 minutes, or until a person other than the person who the Ability was used on can remove the broken armor piece that constricts the limb underneath. If this Ability was used on a helmet, the visor is crushed, and the player must use /t add Blind to emulate mundane blindness, for 2 minutes, or until they can get someone else’s help to remove the crushed helmet around their head. This Ability does not work on Artifacts, but can work on Ability Armor. If such Ability Armor has some form of “disappears after 3 hits”, or some similar conditional durability, it is instead instantly destroyed, if it does not have conditional durability, it responds like normal armor. This Ability can be used once per hour.

| The Werebeast does not have a traditional Beastmode Shift anymore, but can use this Ability, turning into a flock of several Birds of Prey (which must remain together loosely). While in this form, the Werebeast is able to flock a person, while at the same time Soul Draining them as these hawks peck at the Soul Essence of the target. While swarmed by this flock, the Victim can no longer use any Abilities, or attack anyone, or communicate with anyone due to the loud bird screeching, but can still move. Attacking the victim will attack the Werebeast instead, forcing them away. The Hawks cannot actually damage or attack the person physically. After being knocked off a person three times, the Ability is cancelled, and forcibly goes on a 5 minute Cooldown.

Senleyaorder.png
Order
Origins Lathan Empire

Design

Theme

The Senleya Order, also known as the Sentinel Order or the Full Moon Society in Common, is a pan-Elven secret society with a Freemason aesthetic. Founded by the Lanlath and various other anti-Allorn groups just after Cataclysm upon the realization that their attempts to topple the Allorn Empire might have gone better if they had cooperated at their pivotal moments instead of waiting and letting one another fall, it is an attempt to fight back against both the Allorn resurgence and Evolist would-be replacements alike. While they enjoy privileged status in Elven states around the world, in Regalia they are only state-sanctioned, kept an arm's length from the workings of the government due to mistrust for self-sure Elven benevolence. Senleya must be Elves (but not Kathar), and must be an Estelley, Draconism, or Unionism worshiper.

Code

It is important to note that the Senleya are quite solitary. It is not considered a breach of Code for Senleya not to loop one another into one another's plans if they think one person is enough. It is discourteous and might have social repercussions if they fail because they refused to trust fellow Order members, but there is nothing strictly disallowed about it. Each member is their own person with their own discretion.

  1. Senleya members must work to prevent the loss of one another's religious and legal rights, and cooperate to get rid of anyone who would make their groups look bad to State or Crown.
  2. Senleya members must work to prevent the loss of one another's statehood, and must also work to undermine the Allorn Empire and anyone doing something pro-Allorn (even accidentally!) at all times.
  3. Senleya members must constantly work to educate the public. A Regalia that knows about cruel Allorn history, and knows how to read a map, is a Regalia that is more likely to fight.
  4. Senleya members must work to prevent the loss of Elven heritage, ruins, and knowledge of any kind, so that history can be accurately chronicled.
  5. Senleya members must work politically towards stacking the leadership and advisory councils of various cross-City groups with as many Senleya members as possible.
  6. Senleya members must constantly work to reinforce and support all anti-Allorn groups, even non-Elves. This means helping Asha, Daendroque, and Eronidas, even if they do not like half the members.
  7. Senleya members must assist in the perpetuation of the true eternal nemesis status between the Senleya and Argentum Orders.

Mechanics

Guild Mechanics are freely granted to all Guild Members.

  • Senleya members gain access to the Shapeshift Pack (Mundane, but counts as a Disguise), but only for the duration of a Calendar Event, and with a 7 day Cooldown.
  • Senleya members cannot be deceived about Elven History and Lore. If a related fact appears questionable, the Senleya Character's player may ask the DM for more information about its context as they would know it.
  • Senleya members can choose to be immune to one Religious Mechanic from the Evolism religion, which must be noted on their Character Application.

Chapters

The Senleya are divided into different Chapters called Rites, based on certain groups' motivations for assisting in the cause. Any member from any compatible Heritage or Religion can swear to any branch.

Add Allorn Rite here

white lotus type beat

Lathai Rite

By far the largest subgroup, the Lathai Rite was the origin point of the organization. Given a charter by the Lanlath Empress Salenal after a personal tour of the devastated Allorn Empire immediately post-cataclysm, the Lathai Rite are the glue that knits the Senleya as a whole together. They are the overseers, organizers, and planners who make sure that no individual interest amongst the diverse and complicated Senleya branches takes precedence over the others, and no one gets too selfish. Sticklers for the rules and a refined wealthy presentation, the Lathai Rite are also responsible for the majority of Senleya high-class appeal and internal decorum. However, they should not be mistaken for bureaucrats: the Lathai rite is also full of zealous sword-toting Lanlath who were too impatient for change to make it in any of their native Imperial bureaus. Into the Senleya filter the boldest and loudest Lanlath who think that their people should be doing more for the world, and as quickly as possible.

  • Lathai Mechanic: Lathai Rite members can extend their Shapeshift Pack Mechanic onto 1 other, and can also use it outside of Events for up to 3 Hours, with the same Cooldown.

Athentol Rite

The Athentol Rite is composed of mostly Solvaan, but also Regalia-loyal Fin'ullen and Teledden who put the interests of that Empire first. It was founded on the belief that the Senleya mission should be expressed through a Regalian lens, that Regalia is the country destined to overtake and destroy the Allorn Empire, and also the only one capable. Centered around the Sollerian court, it is the most politically active branch in-game (because Regalia is the setting), and is responsible for making sure that Elves politically stay in Regalian good graces and in as many positions of influence as possible. Though they share the overall emphasis on their membership remaining unnoticed, Athentol Rite Senleya are the flashiest and most vocal about their desire to achieve influence as politicians, with many of them carrying Noble status. Their very pro-Regalian nature sometimes grates against the more far-flung Rites, but when in Regalia, none can deny its contributions to the world.

  • Athentol Mechanic: Athentol Rite members can (with OOC consent) read emotions from other Characters, and suppress their own from being read.

Sanraan Rite

The Sanraan Rite, its name taken from the mythical Suvial founder, is dedicated not to the traditional Suvial art of Demonology but rather of Historiography. Sanraan is well-reputed in the academic community mostly for his honesty, because he is practically the only figure of the Allorn ascent period to write down anything without completely distorting it to suit his own Imperial narrative. The members of his Rite try to do the same by searching for truth in history wherever it can be found, and righting the wrongs of improperly kept records. This couples with a forgiveness-oriented attitude towards the past, being the most eager participants in the Senleya mission of smoothing over old wounds for the sake of the greater purpose. While most Sanraan Rite members are Suvial, there is also a sizable Star of Peace Lanlath presence.

  • Sanraan Mechanic: Sanraan Rite members can make a Discord Ticket to ask the Senleya Archives about an Elven related Lore Question.

Ularen Rite

The Ularen is the great steppe in the midst of Daen that was historically host to the Maquixtl cultures of the continent, only for them to be driven out upon Talea's return and the ones who remained to be transformed into an oppressed class used in forced labor and pushed out of the way of military encampments. The Ularen Rite is mostly composed of disenfranchised Maquixtl and the different Elves, Fin'ullen and Teledden included, who were pushed out of the way of Talea's expansionism or forced from their native Principalities upon her return. Since they believe that the solution is to be found in the Gods, precisely some sort of strange calculus of requiring Cemaan to turn against the Allorn Empire before victory against Talea can even be considered, they are the most mystic and ponderous of the different Rites, and always the first to keep religion in mind in a situation, whether that is Estelley or Guldar Draconism.

  • Ularen Mechanic: Ularen Rite members are treated as equals to the Summoner at any Divinium Summoning of their Character's Religion, and are guaranteed at least one question of their own.

Vanelyon Rite

The Vanelyon Rite is named after the Dregodar Prince who died alongside the Dragon Gaia fighting his cousin, the Empress. Composed of mostly Life Isldar, but also a few Aerunthar Dragonkin and some of the straggler hidden worship Draconism communities left behind in Daen, they are steeped in Dragon worship and fierce advocates for the memory of Dragons in history. Members of the Vanelyon rite are presciently concerned about the Senleya Order becoming what it hates if just one Grandmaster goes astray, as from their point of view, the line between Senleya pan-Elven belief, Allorn supremacism, and Apotheon Evolism cultism is actually quite thin and easy to cross. They operate as a sort of internal secret police that tries to hold the Senleya as a whole accountable not to run ahead with their idealism without considering what got them into the situation in the first place, an overconfidence

  • Vanelyon Mechanic: Vanelyon Rite members can write messages under Magical enchantment that only other Senleya members are capable of seeing, and leave them in places.

Goals

Since jobs and day to day tasks are covered by the Code section, the Goals section discusses major plans the Guild has for advancement.

  • War in Heaven: Having studied Dewamenet and Allorn history, and in review of the modern situation, the Senleya believe that wars are won or lost in large part based on the backing and presence of Gods. It is a Senleya mission to try to work towards 'reclaiming' Cemaan from the concept of the Allorn Empire, for example. If the Senleya assess in any situation that a religious revelation would make a group that has potential to assist in the great conflict stronger, then they will quietly put their weight behind whoever is trying to make it work. The Order had a hand in Sinnavei's pro-Regalian outlook, and the reconstitution of Draconism after the Advancement.
  • War on Land: The Senleya are constantly busy trying to make sure that their constituent member states (and friends) are not snuffed out before the Allorn struggle can even begin. Various priorities include making sure the Sihndar do not fall to Demons, the Suvial are not conquered by the Dread Empire, the Life Isldar are not driven out of Ellador, and the various Elven Principalities still independent are not consumed by the resurgent Allorn Empire. These priorities are often performed in a pro-Regalian scope.
  • War of the Mind: The Senleya, being a deeply mystic and religious Order, believe that corruption oftentimes begins in a failing of religion. They often work towards correcting deficient interpretations of their member Religions that leave room for corruption, including syncretism that they consider unsuitable: with Evolist Gods, for example. While priests themselves are rarely part of this organization, they have a tendency to prop up priests who they believe will help keep the common folk on the straight and narrow.
  • War for Forgiveness: The Senleya believe that the low reputation of the Elven people worldwide due to Allorn imperialism must be fixed. It is a Senleya goal to, while taking the past seriously and with all due respect, achieve forgiveness on a societal level between those wronged by the Allorn Empire and the Elves that are no longer part of it. This goal is so abstract and so complicated that it is difficult to find a point to begin. However, many Senleya keep it in mind in case a relevant opportunity arises, or the goal can be worked towards on a personal level.

Privileges

While there is no hierarchy in the Senleya Order, rewards can be achieved for seniority. When you feel your Character has finished leading the Guild through a major story beat, or has achieved something major in line with Guild principles, apply for a Privilege in the Discord Ticket Bot. Similar to Knightly rank-ups, as more Privileges are accrued, it becomes harder to gain more.

  1. Grants the Character a rent-free Guild Hall Safehouse that the is about the size of 2x Rental Houses that the whole Guild can share. World Staff will do interior, if requested.
  2. Grants the Character protection against trouble for breaking all of Low Law, and allows them to cast Magic freely without restrictions, using Elven bribes to law enforcement.
  3. Choose one of: Lanlath Mechanic 5, Finullen Mechanic 5, Solvaan Mechanic 3, Suvial Mechanic TBD, Maquixtl Mechanic 4, or Life Isldar Mechanic 2, and gain it.
  4. Grants the Character wings (feathered only), allowing Elytra flight (with use of Rockets). Combat or Ability usage immediately disables flight.
  5. Grants the Character an Elf Ally NPC of their desired Theme that can be used to either assist with ongoing Quests or give Quests that generate Artifactsparks.

History

history theme is okay but change some details

Far less famous than the great Allorn Empresses of history but no less important are the Lathan Empresses, who have from their far more isolated position quietly given rise to some of the most important global movements in history, including the popularization of Radiant Magic theory, and the founding of the Order discussed on this page. When the Lanlath intervened during the Void Invasion to save the Allorn Empire from destruction at the hands of Demons, their Empress rode out of Lathan in person with a host of her finest guard to take survey of the situation. More than anyone was she deeply disgusted by the wretched state of Elven civilization, and the memory of pain and disgust that they had left behind in the world. But, worst of all, was her reaction to learning from the lips of those left behind what had passed in the centuries that the Lanlath had been secluded behind sealed gates. The decline of the Suvial, the mass proliferation of Void Cults, the crippling overpopulation and the flight and massacre of the Dregodar, the departure of the Solvaan, all of these things and more she mused could have been presented if there was less distance between the affected. If the Suvial had been willing to die for the Draconism worshipers, or the Draconism worshipers for the Lanlath, then they could have lived together instead of dying apart. With this conviction in hand, she founded the Senleya Order to prevent this from happening again, and engaged in a slow century-long dialogue (as is the Lanlath way) with those who would eventually become the other member groups.

The Regalian loyalists, the Suvial, the Plains Elves, and even the distant, bitter Isldar were successfully integrated into a continuous organization that could and would fend for itself. However, the slowness of the Lanlath to act compared with the bickering nature of these groups that did not like each other much to begin with made the Senleya lethargic and uncoordinated, preventing them from exercising any kind of global influence in the following critical periods. Allorn revanchism re-flowered in the destroyed Principalities and prevented the foundation of any sort of Fin'ullen branch with the growth of the rival Blue Moon Society for Talea's Restoration instead, and in Regalia, a series of Purist direction changes in the government made the idea of exposing to the Regalian Crown unworkable for fear of eradication. From the end of the first century After Cataclysm until the end of the third century after Cataclysm, the Senleya for the most part focused internally on establishing functioning communication and command structure. The explosion of events from 300-312 AC has seen war break out on Daen again, Talea return, the Isldar fracture due to the Glacial's deception, and more. In the past years, the Senleya have been thrust from status as a disjointed organization that only existed on paper into the first and last line of defense against Dread agents (with whom they are the ultimate rivals), a Regalian regressive takeover, and the ultimate fear of Allorn victory and the destruction of all they have worked towards. From relative obscurity, the Senleya are now considered one of Aloria's most eminent intelligence organizations, up there with the Blue Moon Society, the Suvial Secret Service, and some say even the Slizzar.

Trivia

  • The Suvial Secret Service is not part of the Senleya Order: it is loyal to the Suvial Princes directly. In fact, they and the Senleya have fought before, when cooperation has been at low points.
  • The Senleya often know and greet one another by wearing signets of silver moons on the ring finger of their left hand, opposite where a marriage ring would be, and flashing them from under cloaks.
  • Senleya symbolism is all moon-focused and moon-oriented, with passphrases, sayings, and symbology of moons plastered all over everything. The Lanlath, Estel zealots, and the Isldar are equally to blame.
