This force was used to protect the city and the surrounding towns and quell any disorder within the city itself. But the citizens of Acryn grew discontent with their rulers and massed their own force, marched to the great palaces and overthrew the monarchy. In the days following the rebellion a great many changes occurred. The old army was disbanded, its warriors scattered as new … text/html 2015-05-14T21:08:09+00:00 http://mementomundi.chaosdeathfish.com/factions:mercantile_interests?rev=1431637689&do=diff Mercantile Interests The Guilds The basic unit of mercantile power in Acryn is the guild - a collection of individuals engaged in the same trade grouped together for collective benefit. Over the generations for which the city has stood, guilds have risen and fallen, grown and shrunk, unified and split. For almost any trade, there will be at least one small guild dedicated to it, and larger concerns often have several competing ones.

The tenets and teachings of the faith focus on real and tangible things that can be done to improve the city's welfare, be that learning the healing… text/html 2015-05-14T21:08:09+00:00 http://mementomundi.chaosdeathfish.com/factions:the_colleges?rev=1431637689&do=diff The Colleges The College of the Stars College of the Stars, greatest seat of the scholarly and magical arts upon the continent History Historians disagree slightly on exactly when the College of the Stars was founded. While the story of the founding is extremely well known, and pretty much everyone agrees that it has been embellished over the years. Most historians agree that it was founded early in Acryn's history, initially serving as a small council of advisors who educated those children… text/html 2015-05-14T21:08:09+00:00 http://mementomundi.chaosdeathfish.com/factions:the_council?rev=1431637689&do=diff The Council The City Council are the rulers of Acryn, charged by the laws established in the wake of the revolution with protecting the best interests of both the city itself and all of its citizens. The instruments of central governance, notably the City watch and the civil service, are under its direct control, giving it the power to make and enforce the city's laws. text/html 2015-05-14T21:08:09+00:00 http://mementomundi.chaosdeathfish.com/factions:the_noble_houses?rev=1431637689&do=diff The Nobility Before the revolution, the Nobility of Acryn, consisting of those related (at various degrees of distance) to the royal line, or those who had been elevated by the kings and queens over the years, enjoyed considerable legally backed rights and privileges, which they generally used to accumulate wealth and power. The kings and queens are gone, but not all the nobility has gone with them.

What distinguishes it is, of course, how unique the service it provides is, and how significant its monopoly on it is. Given this, the meteoric nature of its rise to significance in the city is perhaps unsurprising, and its history and rise are already established parts of the city's history in the wake of the Upheaval.
