The Authority - The Faces of Progress (FOP)

[Handle]

                    The Faces of Progress                    

OVERVIEW

The Faces Of Progress, having recently grown from ‘vampiric cohort’, to ‘cabal of industrial magnates’, to ‘sovereign state’, is quickly becoming the production center of the known world. Their factories produce everything from cutlery to armed Astirs, in dizzying quantities. To keep this up and expand even further, they find themselves in need of new sources for raw materials, a need they see fit to address by force. The Ghost Reaches is merely first on their list: once it has been strip mined and levelled to make room for factories, Progress will be made somewhere else.

 

Leader: The invasion of the Reaches is led by Galinn Juriss, a former mine foreman who proved himself as a natural military leader during the Faces’ violent transition from business to nation. Rumor has it the Faces’ true leadership has shared a certain sanguine gift with him.

 

Aesthetic: Porcelain, damage repaired with gold lacquer. Leather padding and patterned silks. Golden trims and ornamentation. Exposed tubing and scarlet liquids.

Divisions

The Juriss Company (Military): Galinn Juriss’s personal expeditionary force, sent to claim the Ghost Reaches for his vampiric masters. Galinn is eager to improve his position: there are few within the Faces of Progress who have their own armed Companies, but there are fewer with their own lordships

Actors: Galinn Juriss

 

Progress’s Promise (Curator): Members of the Promise dedicate their lives to recording and preserving evidence of progress: where ‘progress’ is the many conquests of their vampiric masters. This typically involves plundering the lands taken by the Faces for artifacts and heirlooms to study... or just put on display.

Actors:

 

Artery #23 (Resource): The many Arteries of the Faces Of Progress transport goods, weapons, and that sweet, sweet sanguine wherever they are needed. #23 is tasked with aiding and abetting the Juriss Company in their many endeavors.

Actors: Sinnh Renere
