Aztheon Faction: The Levrain
The Levrain is a collective term used among the Arkey people to describe the monstrous beings created by the Magistrate through failed experiments. These grotesque creations have managed to escape the confines of their captors and have, in many instances, organized themselves into smaller tribes, communities, and hordes. The term "Levrain" itself signifies "escaped subjects" and is associated with individuals who have defied their creators and now lead lives of seclusion, violence, and survival on the fringes of the Whitehail Peaks, hidden amidst relentless snowstorms and formidable mountains.
Origins and Nature
The Levrain are primarily the byproduct of ambitious experiments conducted by the Magistrate of Aztheon. These experiments involve the fusion of Arkey prisoners, individuals of Arkey origins, with other entities ranging from animals, beasts, and monsters to insects and various other forms of life. The result is a peculiar amalgamation of these different components, which often gives rise to grotesque and formidable creatures. The forms these creatures take are incredibly diverse, with some resembling a mixture of a mortal and a wolf, others echoing the eerie semblance of a vampire-like beast, or even those with a lion's head, among countless other possibilities. It is the infusion of bestial instincts that sets them apart, rendering them significantly more aggressive and, in many cases, driven by their primal, bestial nature.Levrain Communities
The Levrain have found refuge in the rugged and perilous terrain of the Levrain Lowlands in the Whitehail Peaks. Within this inhospitable environment, they have established hidden enclaves, hidden from the prying eyes of the Magistrate and the outside world. The Levrain are known to reside in areas often shrouded by unending snowstorms and in the heart of forbidding mountains, where they are free to conduct brutal attacks on anyone who enters their territory or either lives or works near the Lowlands. Victims of these relentless assaults include outsider explorers, daring miners, adventurous wanderers, and notably, the Arkey people of the Magistrate.Retribution
The Levrain are motivated by a sense of vengeance. Many among their ranks harbor an intense resentment toward those who played a role in their creation. As a result, well-coordinated raids are often launched against Magistrate Towers, Libraries, and Laboratories, as these are perceived as the abodes of their tormentors—academics, scientists, and experimenters responsible for their monstrous existence. The Levrain seek not only to liberate themselves but to exact retribution on those who have altered their lives in such an irreversible manner.Increasing Numbers
The ranks of the Levrain are not solely bolstered by their propensity to reproduce among their kind. Numerous instances have been documented where Levrain have successfully orchestrated the release of other experimental prisoners within Magistrate Towers. Such actions serve to increase their numbers, thereby heightening their capacity to resist and survive in the harsh Whitehail Peaks. However, even more unthinkable than that is the increasing occurrence of Arkey and outsider people joining the Levrain hordes by their own will. Many academics started to question whether the Magistrate clearly underestimates the charismatic or mind controlling abilities of the Levrain, or maybe there’s something much larger behind the scenes that the Magistrate haven’t figured out yet. But, whatever the truth is, the rising number of non-bestial, mortal members of the Levrain communities, possibly lured out from the settlements of civilization is undeniable.The Magisters of War
The Levrain have their greatest adversaries in the form of the Magisters of War, a cast within the Magistrate specially trained and equipped to confront and eliminate them without mercy. These relentless Ancestors of Battle are dedicated to keeping the Levrain in check, ensuring that they do not pose a substantial threat to the Magistrate or its inhabitants.
