The Six 

An independent council of the greatest minds Empiria has to offer, the Six remain ever vigilant and guide the empires through the ages. In the chaos of the great fall, the Six saw fit to fill the vacuum, to bring the empires back to order. The Six and the army they wield, the Vyriad, collect the most powerful magic artifacts throughout Zaia to keep civilization safe from those that will sew disorder. They have an unquestioned authority on matters of the arcane, and even the Paragons have been known to bow to their judgment. Coercion, persuasion, and threats of violence have all been used throughout the decades to control and manipulate the citizens of Emperia. Answering only their own goals, those that find themselves at a crossed purpose with the six beware for any measure is on the table for this shadowy cabal.
