Aztheon Faction: The Mesmers
The Mesmers are a Magistrate Caste within the Magistrate of Aztheon. This caste is made up of Ancestors, skilled mages and wizards, who have honed their expertise in the art of Mesmery, a branch of Marcry that specializes in the creation of illusions. In addition to their mastery of illusion, the Mesmers are entrusted with diplomatic missions, serving as trained diplomats and communicators for the Magistrate. However, their diplomatic approach distinguishes itself through the creative application of Marcry, enabling them to gain a strategic edge in negotiations and encounters with other nations.
Central to the Mesmers' role is their understanding and command of Mesmery, the Marcry of Illusion. Through intensive study and practice, they have refined their ability to conjure convincing illusions, deceiving the senses and perceptions of those who encounter them. This exceptional skill is harnessed to not only protect the interests of the Magistrate but to further its diplomatic reach on Aesor.
Diplomacy with a Marcry Twist
The Mesmers are more than just illusionists; they are skilled diplomats. However, their approach to diplomacy is far from conventional. They employ their mastery of Marcry to enhance their diplomatic endeavors. Instead of relying solely on the traditional tools of diplomacy, they employ marcritic enchantments and illusions tailored to the specific requirements of each diplomatic mission. This creative and strategic use of Marcry allows them to gain diplomatic advantages when engaging with the delegates of other nations, whether it be for trade agreements, alliances, or resolving conflicts. Mesmers are adept at employing the art of illusion as a diplomatic tactic. Their Marcry knowledge enables them to mimic a wide array of sensory experiences, including cultural scents, appearances, dialects, voices, and more. These illusory transformations are used strategically to persuade, manipulate, and negotiate with other parties. The Mesmers can convincingly assume the guise of different races, genders, or personas to fulfill the objectives of a mission.Spies or Diplomats?
The Mesmers' remarkable abilities have led to various perceptions of their role. While they are undeniably skilled diplomats, their covert use of Mesmery has often caused some to view them as spies. Numerous accounts exist of Mesmers infiltrating foreign nations' headquarters, effectively impersonating individuals with access to sensitive information. Their masterful ability to shroud themselves in the identity of others, adopting different races and genders, has raised questions about their true intentions. Nonetheless, their activities remain an integral part of the Magistrate's diplomatic endeavors. Beyond their expertise in Mesmery, Mesmers are well-versed in conventional diplomatic skills that are commonplace throughout Aesor. These abilities, combined with their Marcry proficiency, allow them to navigate the complexities of international relations, effectively promoting the interests and agenda of the Magistrate.
