MAJOR ORGANIZATIONS AND LEGENDS
Hollow Court
This group of Necromancers reject the peaceful status of Bryony as it is governed by the Council of Mages. They moved to the cliffs of Tor's Ridge and slowly have pulled in other savage races. Comprised only of chaotic evil savage races and Necromancers, they want to bring chaos and havoc to the land of Bryony -- and then the known world.
The Incanterium
Mages who belong to this strictly Bryony society believe that arcane magic is the root of all power. Master magic and you master existence. Powerful mages of the Incanterium have found the secret ritual to mold themselves into a creature known as an "Incantifier", whose natural processes are no longer powered by air, food and blood - but instead are driven by raw magic. They are the most powerful of all mages in the lands and only a handful have ever reached this status, though all members of the Incanterium push to reach this level. They rule over the Incanterium with an iron fist. Incantifiers are not undead, merely warped by arcane energy.

Shepherd Knights of Bryony
Symbol: White Dove in Flight
The Shepherd Knights are a knighthood dedicated to preserving the honor and majesty of Bryony. They live by strict codes. A Shepherd Knight must be pure, celibate, truthful, honorable, courageous, and loyal to the kingdom, willing to lay down his/her life for the honor of their land.
The ranks of the Shepherd Knights are:
Squire
Armiger
Knight of Devotion
Knight of Obedience
Knight of Justice
Knight Commander
Grand Hospitaller
Grand Commander
Bryony Arcane Academy
A prestigious academy for all manner of the mystical and arcane.
Nightshade Covenant
This is a small organization of shadowmancers.
College of Harmonic Lore
This bardic college, one of the largest in existence, focuses on the acquisition of hidden lore, particularly of the historical or magical variety. Its members eagerly page through dusty tomes, seeking to uncover secrets about long dead societies, strange magical rituals, myths, legends and other unusual topics.
The Hallowed Death
The Hallowed Death are a rising criminal organization in the kingdom of Bryony. Their specialties lie in magical burglary, pick pocketing and extortion. They are known to have ties to the Blackfeather organization and have started to branch out into assassinations, slave trading and poison manufacturing. The Hallowed Death leader is a disgraced Black Mage called Karel Nistrum: very little is known about the man.
Membership
Members of the Hallowed Death spot tattoo's of a black feather surrounded by a circle of bones. The membership is for life, whether the member wishes it or not. Members who betray the Death are generally found burnt to a crisp outside their family home. To become a member one must show outstanding magical talent and be invited by one of three lieutenants, a series of trials are undertaken before one becomes a runner.
