• 

  Seventh House
  A thieves' guild, strong in both Varsilia and Mercia, and in particular in the big towns. The authorities have tried to shut it down, but they're always a step ahead.

• 

  Wizard's Guild
  This mysterious organization is powerful in Thuram, but as other kingdoms need the service of magicians, they have allowed them to build wizard towers in other places.

• 

  Warrior's Guild
  Fighters that are not highborn, and not part of the armies of the Kingdoms, usually join the ranks of this organization. They often work as bodyguards, mercenaries or escorts, but always in a honorable way.

  Royal Loreseekers
  An ancient order of sages and explorers, loyal to the Kingdom of Varsilia. Many of them are sorcerers and alchemists as well.

  Varannari
  The clans of original inhabitants from this land before the Exiled Kingdoms were founded. They live in the wild forests.
