Influential Organizations of Imarel - by T.A. Saunders ©2010 v1.5

Imarel is a world moved by those ambitious enough to gamble on change or have the power to maintain a certain status quo through either financial or military might. This listing is not by any means an exhaustive list of those organizations, but rather a list of the most important, most affluent and most dangerous across Imarel. Many of these organizations are a part of a government or may not answer to any government at all. The single unifying force of all these organizations is their ability, both past and present, to shape the world's history.

Children of the Bright Empire

The Bright Empire is a reference to the D`Mirian Empire, which held sway over most of the known world for several thousand years. The very name D`Mir means Shining City in the Asyndi language. These ‘children' of the Bright Empire are mostly Shar`Vaire and Humans they've brainwashed into their service, that pay homage to the Demon Lord, Ysil who played a significant hand in the Cataclysm of D`Mir. It was Ysil's Abyssal Plane of A`Kuurn that D`Mir was partially phased within, thanks to the powerful conflicting magics of opposing Shar`Vaire factions fighting for control of the city. The Children of The Bright Empire are a cult on every level and see nothing more than the end of all things and the rise of their powerful, hateful patron.

Because of their Traditionalist Shar`Vaire values, the Children of the Bright Empire are quietly backed by a few noble Shar`Vaire houses, in the silent hope that their success will result in a return to Shar`Vaire prominence. They have no uniform or bit of jewelry to identify them, but rather a brand of a four-armed, wolf-headed fiend holding four torches is burned onto the left shoulder blade on all those who serve. They are thought to be based in Las Entranras, but rumors persist of cultists appearing as far north as Zoda and as far south as Irys.
