Here are some of the organizations found on Arcanos.


Argent Commonwealth

Why should we fight enemies against which we bear no grudge, or obey those who oppress us? Why suffer and die for causes that are not our own? My fellow citizens, let us establish a haven for those who simply wish to live in peace! -Hobbes, human wizard and hero of the Commonwealth.

Symbol: Bronze griffin on an azure shield.

The Argent Commonwealth was born out of the massive conflict between the Fey and the Dragonkin. While most races sought to ally with one or the other superpower, the predecessors of the Commonwealth sought to free themselves from both empires by banding together. The Commonwealth is a vast collection of city states and small kingdoms stretching across the planet, and its distributed territory and independent political alignment have made it a mercantile and diplomatic superpower. Most of its citizens are human, although members of all sentient species may be found in the city states.

The Commonwealth constantly seeks to expand its influence and power, especially if it comes at the cost of the Empire and the Council.

The Commonwealth is primarily a racial organization, much like most of the factions on Arcanos, and as such humans occupy a dominant position in Commonwealth society. However, the concept of what is "human" is rather more broad than on other worlds, Any creature which can claim human descent within seven generations is considered human by law. Individuals married to humans, or who are adopted by a human citizen of the Commonwealth, are also considered human by law. As such, the Commonwealth is a haven for part-humans of many origins, including planetouched, half-celestials, half-fiends, and half-dragons.
