Guilds of Verasanth

The guilds are not simply political factions. They are functions. Each keeps some part of the city operating, whether they understand that role or not.

  • The Ashen Archive

    Keepers of memory, containment, and dangerous knowledge.

    Vaelith Xyrelle

    Dak'Aridari — High PyreKeeper

  • The Broken Banner

    Endurance, pressure, and survival given institutional form.

    Garruk Stonehide

    Silth — High WarMarshal

  • The Quiet Sanctum

    Healers, shepherds of hope, and a quiet defiance against despair.

    Halden Marr

    Human — High FlameShepherd

  • The Stone Watch

    Wardens of structure, foundations, and failing walls.

    Rhyla Thornshield

    Cambral — High Warden

  • The Veil Market

    Information, evasion, and the shadow-economy beneath the official city.

    Lirael Quickstep

    Pan'Aridari — Veil-Master

  • The Umbral Covenant

    Those who work closest to corruption, shadow, and the truths most people refuse to name.

    Serix Vaunt

    Ashborn — Voice of the Covenant

Each guild believes it serves its own purpose. The city may know better.

Deeper fictions for each order wait under their own sigil — the old doors still answer.

The city remembers everything.
