Genidian Knights are known as savage warriors from the snowy land of Thalesia. The Genidian knights have the reputation for being Viking-like savages complete with blonde braids, horned helms, looting sprees and berserk fighting. Add this to the fact that these knights face down trolls and ogres their reputation increased even more. Those closer to these knights know that the barbarous veneer camouflages men of great theological learning and the sole knowledge of the non-human tongues of their troll and Ogre neighbors. In addition they are the most brutally democratic of the orders of knights. They choose their own leaders by election and remove incompetent leaders by unified force. Ulath is a Genidian knight.

The members of the Elene Clergy are the shepherds to the huge flock of the Elene continent. The clergy is a highly organized entity crossing national boundaries and boasting its own postal system, network of colleges, and military units as well as having places of worship and cloisters for their monks and nuns. The organization of the church allows it to minister to all Elenes for the glory and enrichment of the Elene god.

The mysteries of the Styrics are personified in their powerful magicians. Using their obscure language to channel magic from their one of a thousand foreign gods they tend to make the the typical God fearing Elene nervous. Styrics that live on the Eosian continent have been the target of many hate filled attacks by superstitious Elenes. Usually, the Church Knights, who have many strong ties with the Styrics, protect these people but the Knights cannot be everywhere at once.

Most large cities have some form of thieves guild that controls all illicit activity in that city. The thieves guilds of Eosia need a large and varied pool of talents to carry out their operations. The members of the guild fulfill this need by acting as burglars, con men, pickpockets, fencers, bouncers, embezzlers, enforcers, extortionists, and prostitutes. The average thieves guild is usually held together by intelligent and ruthless people that hold the guilds together with a combination of fear and good business sense. The guilds of different cities are typically very cordial to each other and do a brisk business in fencing goods stolen by other guilds in other cities so the merchandise cannot be traced as easily.
Patron: Local Thieves Guild (6 pts)
Thieves Code (Never forget a debt, Thieves sanctuary, don't operate in another guilds area, never pay for anything) (-10 pts)
Streetwise: IQ (2 pts)
And 4 points in at least one thief/spy type skill, one weapon skill, climbing, jeweler, accounting, fast talk, gambling or merchant
Note: Anyone stealing or encroaching on any other guild activity will be asked to join the guild or be eliminated.
The legends of the Atan giants from the distant east are well known on the Eosian continent. The stories of their strength, speed, and ferocity in battle are not exaggerated. The Atans would be rulers of the world by now except for their need to be subservient to others. This tendency has grown from the genocidal need of the Atans to extract every bit of vengeance from an enemy they possibly can. Now, the masters of the Atans can minimize this race destructive attribute.
