The Stewards of Abrecis

The Stewards of Abrecis, or just The Stewards, were the human descendants of The Betrayers who lived in Daithia before the continent was colonized by Obsidia. The Stewards continued The Betrayers' practice of ritualistic ear removal, but would do so during infancy.

Society

The Stewards mythologized The Betrayers, who they called The Founders, and carried knowledge of miasma through generations with oral tradition. They tasked themselves with protecting the miasma tombs of Daithia from outside discovery or access, knowing the dangers of miasma sickness. Though Obsidis had removed all magic casting from the world, The Stewards could manipulate some permanent spells left in place by The Betrayers. The Stewards retained the Betrayers' tradition of severing ears, but did so at birth.

Major Factions

Many of The Stewards, such as the Syroeb Federation, who occupied the Shajan Caldera chose a strategy of isolationism. The Parados Crusade was an extremist group who would attempt to kill those who were desecrated, that is, anyone who entered pre-obsidian structures. The Parados Crusade primarily fought against the expansionism of DTX, and Anthony Hill propagandized the conflict in order to gain and cement power.
