Tower Politics

In addition to the internal guild politics, we are constantly seeking to improve relationships with other communities in the land, with varied degrees of success.  Some of the better-known Towers on Orin Rakatha include:

Wizard's Concillium

The Wizard's Concilium occupy two Towers in central Orin Rakatha and are generally responsible for teaching magic to most other communities in the land. The ability of the Kern Valley to teach its own members the arts of Magic has led to many tensions with the Concilium in the past, although each College within the Concillium has its own stance. Encounters with Concilium groups often result in combat, even though there is officially peace between our Towers. However, relations between our two Towers have recently improved due to the actions of a group of Heroes led by Orlando who were instrumental in aiding the Wizard's Concillium.

Shadowsfall

The Shadowsfall are a Tower of Assassins who claim to enforce the "will of the Mystics" and ensure that the laws of Orin Rakatha are adhered to (the self proclaimed Police of Orin Rakatha).  They have many unusual skills associated to Status and the Towers available to them and are generally feared by most Towers who encounter them.

Dymwan

The Dymwan are predominantly Necromancers with whom the whole of Orin Rakatha went to war several years ago after the Dymwan had gained a forth Tower and were expanding rapidly. The Dymwan lost this war and now hold just two Towers.

Kalid

The Kalid are a community who used to hold five Towers.  While this has since been reduced to three, they are still considered to be one of the greatest threats to the stability of Orin Rakatha. The Kalid are divided into a number of legions with different abilities and leadership and who compete amongst themselves to kill the greatest number of their enemies. In recent years, the Kalid formed an alliance (the Northern Alliance) with the Saldorians, Celestial Bureaucracy and elements of Halmadons Heights and between them they had the strength to dominate the North of Orin Rakatha. However, recently there appears to be some tension within the Kalid Towers and reports of in-fighting between some of the Legions.

Rival Merchant Towers

The Dai-fah-Dyne and the Reader are the two merchant Towers in Orin Rakatha who constantly compete for trade across the land.
