=Ailor=
{{Info knights
The Ailor do not have any Abilities as (with some exception) they are overwhelmingly Mundane and do not practice Magic, as such only having Specials. These Specials are intricately woven into Ailor culture and are considered "innate", which is why Ailor will mostly claim they don't have any Powers or Abilities (as they see their Specials as cultural quirks). Half Ailor have access to all of these Specials also.

===Ailor Familiar===
|}}
Ailor have a strong connection with domesticated animals, whether it is rearing cattle and farm animals, or pets. Pets in particular have an important role both in the raising of and further lives of Ailor children, and pets themselves also seem to have longer lives while bonded with Ailor. Either at birth or later in life, an Ailor can acquire a pet. This pet can be any type of small house-pet such as rodents, domestic canines, domestic felines, birds (hawks, eagles, crows), small marsupials, small mustelids, rabbits, pygmee pigs and reptiles or amphibians. This list is not comprehensive, for more options, consult the [[List of Fauna]] page, and look for animals that can be reasonably carried or domesticated as per their page's information. While living with its owner, the pet gains a much longer life, usually tied to that of the owner. Ailor Familiars cannot be used in Combat-RP and also cannot be harmed by others (they are invalid targets for Abilities). They can however carry hand-held items and interact with the environment and others, while never leaving Emote Range of their owner. Ailor Familiars duplicate mutations that their owner gains, and are optional, meaning not every Ailor has one.
===Dark Empathy===
The Ailor have multiple emotion and empathy based capabilities that make them quite unique when compared to other races. Ailor can disable their own emotions so they do not feel regret, guilt, or a conscience when committing vile acts. They can disable all emotions, or just one of them such as happiness or love. Furthermore, they can also compartmentalize certain memories and simply choose to forget them. In both cases, the Ailor usually requires another Ailor to re-connect them with emotions and memories through mental coaching. It is not all dark however. Ailor have learned to disable their emotions for a reason, because the emotional impact of an area where great events have taken place can sometimes be overwhelming. In places of great historical importance such as battlefields or places of worship and celebration, Ailor can receive visions or aftershocks of emotions felt by others in those areas. For example, an Ailor might perceive the fear and loathing of the soldiers on a battlefield that ended hundreds of years ago, being sensitive to the residual feelings when many lost their lives in the area. Finally, Ailor can also read small emotional feelings on the faces of others. Any time, an Ailor can hone in on another person's face if they are speaking with them, to detect their true disposition (feelings) towards them, for example whether they love, hate, adore, or disregard them. If used on another Ailor however, they will be able to tell that an Ailor is using it on them.
===Seizing Destiny===
The Ailor are flexible, often more flexible than other Races, in determining their own future, as they live much shorter lives. While an Ailor is not Aberrant or Occult, they gain +5 Physical Stat that does not break Physical Stat Limit. If they are Aberrant or Occult, they may choose 1 Sorcery Spell without Cost. If they are Primal or Ordial Aberrant, they keep the 5+ Physical Stat, Primal and Ordial Aberrancies are not counted as Aberrancy for this Special.
===Seizing Innovation===
The Ailor are innovative with their skills, more so than other Races as they have less time to master them and greater ambition to perfect them. So long as an Ailor is not Occult or Aberrant in any way, they may choose any Proficiency they have already invested 5 Proficiency Points into, and add another 5 on top (will not break Proficiency Point Limit for that Proficiency). If they Ailor is an Aberrant or Occult instead, they gain no bonus from this Special at all. If they become Aberrant or Occult temporarily, the +5 is temporarily disabled, returning when they become Mundane again.


=Qadir=
==Design==
Qadir have a mix of both Abilities and Specials themed around Engineering and specifically Clockwork. Half-Qadir also get access to all Abilities and Specials that normal Qadir would.
===Theme===
==Abilities==
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.
{| class="wikitable"
===Code===
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center; background-color:#c0c0c0;"
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.

==Specials==
===Qadir Familiar===
Most Qadir bring life to Clockwork through Engineering, especially so when it concerns the Familiars they make. Most Qadir shops sell Familiar Templates, which are inert mechanical domestic animals for example rabbits, domestic canines & felines, birds, reptiles and more. This list is not comprehensive, for more options, consult the [[List of Fauna]] page, and look for animals that can be reasonably carried or domesticated as per their page's information. The Qadir then continues to modify, upgrade and change the Familiar to suit their liking and aesthetics. The Familiar can also levitate through repulsion tech, and may even appear less animal, for example by installing a Humanoid skull onto a dog's body. Qadir Familiars cannot be used in Combat Roleplay, but can carry objects around so long as they are in Emote Distance of their owner. Unlike proper animal familiars, Qadir Familiars can have a more responsive personality and even speak, though their intellect remains child-like. Qadir can also off-load parts of their own personality like their cowardice or anxiety onto the Familiar, causing it to behave like that personality trait frequently, and provide (sometimes comedic) commentary or reflections on the actions of their owner. Because of this Special, Qadir cannot invest 3 points to acquire Engineering Pack Eight: Familiar. For the purpose of Abilities or Mechanics that require investment in Engineering however, this counts as having 3 points invested in Engineering (optionally for Talents).
===Master Engineers===
Qadir mastery of Engineering is unrivaled among the other Races. Other Engineers usually pick a single Engineering Branch, and stay with it. Qadir however have greater freedom and capacity to work with other Branches. Qadir are hard-locked to using Clockwork as their main Branch for themselves, but can also make Engineering devices with Steamtech, Hallowtech and even Magitech for others. Additionally, the Qadir can install Membanks into their skull (usually at the nape of their neck, or side of their head). Memkeys can be inserted upon which a Qadir may record single memories. These Memkeys can then be re-inserted into the Membank of any Qadir to be replayed with perfect visual and auditory quality. They can also be viewed with a more cumbersome Memrecall Helmet by non-Qadir. Memkeys can pre-record up to 24 hours, and can download memories up to 24 hours after they were made. When viewing a Memkey, the user becomes blind in reality as their senses are being overtaken by the Memkey, experiencing the memory as if they were the person who recorded or downloaded it.  
===Mechanic Children===
Even the youngest and simplest of Qadir have some grasp of Engineering and can produce small machines and objects to make their lives easier. All Qadir automatically gain Engineering Pack One: Environment and Engineering Pack Two: Golem for free without Proficiency investment. For any Abilities or Mechanics that require a minimum point investment of Proficiency into Engineering, these free Packs count as having 6 Points invested (optionally for Talents).  
===Mechanic Hands===
Qadir can produce and use very thin mechanical hand-gloves that grant them limited telekinesis with Clockwork and brass. Within Emote Distance, and while wearing these gloves, the Qadir can fetch and remotely control engineering tools, bring brass and copper to them, and rotate Engineering objects in the air. Even more impressively they can 'explode' an Engineering object into all its constituent components and parts and levitate them in the air to inspect how all parts are pieced together, before putting it all back together again in an instant, causing no damage to the device. These gloves can only be used in non-combat or non-competitive environments, and cannot be used to hijack other people's Engineering from their hands.


=Songaskia=
==Chapters==
==Abilities==
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.
==Specials==
===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.


=Altalar=
==Goals==
The Altalar have one Common Ability shared by all sub-races, and each Race also has one unique Ability. On top of that, the Altalar also have a number of Specials themed around their frequent and skilled use of Magic. Half-Altalar have access to the Common Ability and the Specials, as well as the Sub-Race Ability of their Altalar parent.
Since jobs and day to day tasks are covered by the Code section, the Goals section discusses major plans the Guild has for advancement.
==Abilities==
* '''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.
===All Altalar===
* '''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.
{| class="wikitable"
* '''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.
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center; background-color:#c0c0c0;"
* '''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.

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.
|}
 
===Teledden Only===
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.

The Altalar are Ageless, meaning they never show aging. When they become adults, Altalar simply appear as if they are young adults forever, unless they choose not to. Any Altalar can choose to change their aged appearance, meaning they can choose to appear however old they want to appear (so long as it is 18+). A 33 year old Altalar might for example choose to appear like a 70 year old Ailor with whitened hair and wrinkles, while a 300 year old Altalar might choose to appear like a 25 year old Ailor with smooth skin and youthly features.

Even the simplest and untrained of Altalar have some innate Magical ability, and control over the Arcane. All Altalar can perform varying degrees of Telekinesis, being able to move objects around with their hands from a distance, while also automating household objects in their performed task such as for example causing a broom to sweep by itself, or a pen to write what is being dictated. This cannot be used in any Combat Rp or competitive roleplay (such as stealing items from other Characters), but has no Cooldown and no limits imposed.
===Magnificent Hands===
The Altalar can, once a month, craft a wood carving, sculpture, woven fabric, or crafted metal out of so-called Elder Opal, depending on the Proficiency that they craft with. Elder Opal when applied to wood carving causes lines to appear in white-colored wood that glow with shifting colors of the rainbow. When applied to sculptures, the whole sculpture has an opalescent color effect, and when reflecting light, glows with the colors of the rainbow. When applied to fabric, each weave contains a reflective opalescent sheen, giving the completed clothing piece of tapestry a rainbow glow on white fabric. When applied to metal, it creates a steel-strong variant of white opal, with a glowing opalescent effect of swirling color glows. Additionally, the Altalar can re-mould Silver, Gold with their hands like clay without heating it.
===Magnificent Tools===
The Altalar can summon any type of non-combat tool in their hand, like a hammer, pencil, chisel, etc. This tool will glow and appear in any chosen color, and has the properties of a normal tool in steel, also producing magical essence sparkles or dust when used. This tool can be given to others and used by others, but only one tool can be summoned, and it cannot leave Emote Distance from the Altalar who created it.
===Elder Voice===
The Altalar can invade the minds of others with telepathic communication that is a one-way form of vocalization of their thoughts. An Altalar can project a command or exclaimed statement into the mind of another person within Emote Distance, though the Target cannot talk back. While using the Elder Voice, the Altalar's eyes glow, and they must look at the Target they are speaking to in their mind. This form of communication is experienced as unpleasant, and causes headaches in the Target, but not so far that it inhibits their other actions. Elder Voice cannot be used in a chase, in Combat Roleplay, or while the Altalar is physically or Magically bound or constrained in any way.

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.

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.
