Factions
The four active political and social factions of Primal District. Witch is a race; faction membership is recorded separately during character creation or induction.
Velvet Choir
Power is strongest when it never has to shout.
A court of influence, diplomacy, performance, and carefully guarded secrets.
Doctrine
The Choir treats reputation as a living weapon. Its members shape alliances, control rumor, broker oaths, and win conflicts before steel is drawn.

Umbral Ward
Stand where the dark first crosses the threshold.
Guardians who contain supernatural threats and defend the district's living boundaries.
Doctrine
The Ward believes power is proven through restraint. Its sentinels monitor breaches, protect sanctums, and carry the burden of dangerous knowledge.

Every throne casts a shadow.
A political dominion of strategy, ambition, leverage, and supernatural statecraft.
