[QUOTE="Jack7, post: 4667216, member: 54707"] Over the years Mark it has varied. We have played with different players playing in all the groups and sometimes we play with the same players playing in different parties. On earth, or our world, there are 3 basic groups or Teams (all human): [B]Basilegate (The Emperor‘s Legate)[/B]- the secretive and chief investigative party of the Emperor and Church. A Special Team to investigate the invasions from Ghantik (the other world) and other strange phenomena. The party of Byzantine agents and European team of spies, legates, adventurers, soldiers, and lawmen operating throughout the known world. Operates exclusively for the Byzantine Empire, home base of operations is, and stationed at, Constantinople. [B]Hoshi (The Footbridge)[/B]- a party of Oriental explorers, adventurers and specialists sent from the East into the West to investigate bizarre phenomena. Includes Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Persian characters. [B]Oro (The Moonshadow)[/B]- a party of African explorers, adventurers and specialists drawn north by unknown forces to explore the Byzantine Empire, Asia Minor and Europe. Mostly Eastern and Northern African, and Egyptian characters. If players want to undertake solo missions then they become Acers. Acers are solo agents who learn special skill suites such as Vadding, Thieving, and Esipionage skills. [B]Acer (Sharpers)[/B]- Lone Agents or Operatives who undertake missions of exploration, adventure, and danger by themselves, operating without a party. Acers, Vadders, and Sharpers usually do infiltration, undercover, espionage, and urban adventure work. On the other world there is one main team sponsored by the most powerful nation there and it is called the Caerkara (no humans). [B]Caerkara (The Expeditionary Force)[/B]- the special team of Eldeven explorers, adventurers and specialists sent to the human world of Terra in order to study human religion, culture, Thaumaturgy and to hunt down monsters escaped from Ghantik into Earth. The Caerkara has often traveled to our world and the Basilegate has traveled to the other world. Events on both worlds overlap and the Byzantines think the leader of the most powerful nation on the other world may actually be Prester John. Over the years the Basilegate and the Caerkara have become aware of each other and now sometimes work together on joint missions. Additionally Constantinople and Samarkand (the capital city of the most powerful nation on the other world) also now occasionally work together for common interests. The Caerkara is made up of Elves, Eladarin, a Dwarf, and a Giant. [/QUOTE]
