Organizations

Within the various nations, city-states, and principalities of Olemonde, many prominent organizations and guilds exist, serving as exclusive clubs, zealous temples, lofty businesses, scholarly entities, or political bodies.

The Candlemakers' Guild
The Candlemakers' Guild is a religious organization occupied primarily by Candle Monks and merchants who make candles. They fervently oppose the existence and use of magical light, suggesting that to rely on "unnatural" light is to bring false enlightenment - the only true enlightenment can come from the light of the wick-and-tallow.

Order of the Slumber
The Order of the Slumber is a secret society operating across Olemonde, infiltrating positions of power. Rather than ruling or enacting some insidious plot, the Order works tirelessly to watch and prepare for the Titans that legends say lie dormant beneath the sea.

Monastery of the Spheres
This secluded group of monks prefer to operate in isolation. Their goals are to unravel the mysteries of Ce, and they attempt to achieve this by replacing their own heads with ornate crystal orbs. According to their beliefs, the crystal orb acts as a focal point for the energies of the planes, allowing them to see the truth of reality without the unnecessary weight of a mortal mind. Somehow, this ritual decapitation, if performed correctly, maintains the individual without killing them - their memories and worldviews kept intact, however the aspects of their mortal existence are softened and tempered by the newfound clarity of their new head.
