Overview¶
Structure and ranks¶
Notable members¶
- A first-stage-transcendent black figure who kills students; elite squads two and three. 4
Relations with other factions¶
- Its array is far-range spatial technology of a higher civilization, unlike the wizard system or the birdmen's backers. 6
History¶
- Plants a mole in the military's Technical Department, fakes distress-band signals, and slaughters student squads in the trial forest as sacrifices for a passage array. 2
- Takes front-line camps 11, 12 and 3 to tear a gap in the outer line and draw a beast tide onto the army. 3
- Builds the array on a military camp's foundation plate because its high-quality crystals cannot be stripped out. 5
- The array, even unopened, suppresses a sixth-stage transcendent; Jack drains its core and it collapses. 5
- Only two in ten students survive the trial. 7
