Welcome to Gaia! ::

Welcome to The Organization.

As said. We are the organization. We hunt vampires, werewolves, the like. We have an array of weapons and resources at our disposal for killing the dastardly fiends. Our members are mostly human... What you see above is Castle Obsidian, our organization's home. Those who come there have either come to join us, or they wish to die.

Why is it we hate vampires and werewolves? Are we merciless evil primitive barbarians? Of course not. We are the elite! Our organization holds many great minds, and our members are cultured and sophisticated individuals. We hunt the vampires in defense of humanity. They are blood-sucking monsters that kill humans, or they turn them into their own. Werewolves are an infectious disease that must be extuinguished if humanity is to survive. Of course, we also allow some of their number into the organization under rare circumstances...

The pack

Werewolves are deemed the most dangerous of enemies for the Organization. At day, they are indetectable, they may not be aware of their actions, or worse, they may be aware, and can hide it better.

Werewolves are the rusult of Lycanthropy, a disease with no cure known other than silver. There are many types, but the organization has separated them into three groups:

1. Lesser werewolves - Infectious bite. Afflicted most likely bitten by a werewolf. cannot be held accountable for actions. Transform only at night.

2. Greater werewolves - Infectious bite. Afflicted most likely born from afflicted parent. full control when transformed. Transforms only at night.

3. Perfect werewolves - Non-infectous bite. Afflicted always born from afflicted parent. Full control when transformed. Transforms at any time they wish. May partially transform.

Werewolves are considered as a disease, however, perfect werewolves are considered another species and a threat. Perfect werewolves often lead packs of greaters and lessers.

Perfect werewolves are considered the most reliable of non-human informants in the Organization.

Werewolves have the following documented weaknesses:
Wolfsbane - Deterrant
Silver - Cure to greater/lessers, dangerous to Perfect.

About the area:

Castle obsidian is located on the Shadow Cliffs, overlooking the Iceblade Sea. To get to it, one must first find the Silent Express, a train that stops at the nearby Organization-controlled town of Duskwall. From there, one must travel throught the Whispershade Forest to reach the Blackscar Canyon. from there, you simply cross the bridge, and enter the castle itself. Organization members can then ride the Cobalt Drakes from the castle's stalls to any location they are needed. Drakes are useless in combat, and only serve as airborne mounts.

The continent is called Galera, and has many villages and towns. It is the size of Asia. There are no countries, just lands ruled by rival nobles. some of these nobles are Vampires, others send word to the Organization to hunt vampires or werewolves in the area. The Organization only asks for respect and a little bit of coin in return for their services.

The Silent Express runs between Whispershade Terminal and Duskwall Station. The other trains in the area are:

Trans-Galera : Train that runs across the continent all day. There are four running on the same tracks, so there are four times to catch a train. This train is not run by the Organization, but actually belongs to a vampire lord (Lord Archarus). However it is a public train system, and vampires are not allowed to feed onboard, otherwise the Organization might catch on and shut down the system, which makes a lot of money.

Galera Rail : A train run by the Organization that serves as a transporter for goods such as lumber, food, and other things. Merchants pay a good amount for a spot for their goods on this train, since it delivers its load all around Galera.

Concerning Drakes

Drakes are large reptilian creatures. Their main diet is fish and plants. To tame a Drake, there are two good methods.

1. Procure a drake egg and hatch it, then raise the Drake. This method is expensive and requires a tame drake.

2. become accepted by a Drake brood as one of their own. Dark magic useful in this method, as it allows communication with the creatures. Once accepted, they will allow the accepted individual to ride them. after a few years, more individuals can, if they ride frequently, tame these creatures.

If method 2 is used, then method 1 can follow, making a Hatchery/Stall system where tame drakes lay eggs, humans raise the young into ridable drakes, and the process repeats. The Organization is the only group of people who have succeeded in making such a system.

Concerning technology

The Organization has electric power in their castle, but most areas don't have the same benefits. The Organization has machinery to produce their guns, and the Sun Cannon can be considered highly advanced, were it not made by magic.

The gun is widespread around the continent, but only the Organization can manufacture the weapon in large amounts.
