The Council of Five

The Harbingers of Faith (HoF)
The HoF were the intermediaries of The Apprentice's will. It was from this division that the ranks of the Chosen were drawn, and it was from this division that the faction as a whole drew its leadership. The HoF offered guidance to all the Faithful under their influence, and Absolution to all Faithless willing to seek it. They were also responsible for recruiting new Children into the flock.

The Jihad Research Syndicate (JRS)

The JRS were the scientists of the faction. They were also, perhaps, among the bravest souls the faction had to offer. These Faithful worked with many hazardous substances and unknown magicks to further the cause of Rebirth. It was this division that discovered the process by which a normal mortal might be transformed into a Ragnarok Demon through infusions of Black Makou. This process had only recently begun to see use on some members of the WoR division, and a select few of Sephiroth's Black Mass. This Division was responsible for all scientific and magical research for the faction.

The Jihad Intelligence Bureau (JIB)
The Realms were a dangerous place, and the Jihad Intelligence Bureau was responsible for discovering these dangers before they became a threat to the faction. They were also responsible for any espionage the faction may needed performed, such as assassinations or small campaigns to change public opinion on key issues to our cause.

The Warriors of Ragnarok (WoR)
All new Children fell into this division, until their training was complete and they were able to choose their own path. This was the largest of the five divisions, with many Faithful from all ranks and walks of life pursuing its path. Their purpose was to guard the faction's bunkers, bases, and homelands, and to fight to the death in any battle to which they were sent. The Warriors of Ragnarok were the strong arm of the faction, their strength and numbers rivaled only by the greatest armies of the Realms.

The Jihad Naval Patrol (JNP)

Where WoR guarded the lands below, the JNP were the sentinels of the air. This faction provided not only protection and strength, but also aided in keeping the treasury full. Operating both as merchants and pirates when necessary, there was no group more effective or deadly in the air. Additionally, JNP was responsible for piloting Jenovese 'bots'.

The Council of Five
The Council of Five ruled the faction. One leader from each of the five divisions met regularly to discuss the dangers, agendas, and courses of action for the faction. No Faithful might gain rank in a division without gaining approval first from the head of that division. The Council of Five were the following people:
  • Evilynn (JIB)
  • Grobnak (HoF)
  • Rasma (JRS)
  • Iago (JNP)
  • Nerlith (WoR)
