Lore & Background
Founded on the principles of Renan supremacy, this organization was established to protect the interests of the Renan ruling class. They view the inhabitants of Dahna not as equals, but as resources meant to sustain the prosperity of Rena. This ideology drives their aggressive tactics and unwavering loyalty to the Lords and the Sovereign. Equipped with cutting-edge technology and magic-infused weaponry, they possess a significant advantage over most resistance fighters. Their training emphasizes discipline and obedience, ensuring that orders from high command are executed without hesitation or moral questioning on the battlefield. Despite their strength, internal dissent occasionally arises among lower-ranking officers who witness the suffering caused by their actions. However, these instances are rare, as the system is designed to suppress such thoughts through propaganda and strict oversight of all military personnel.
