|[[L_Fyros| !civ_fyros.jpg!]]| *[[L Fyros|The Fyros]]* are bold warriors from the deep and deadly deserts who lead a quest for the dreaded Dragon of the Myth. Determined, loyal and fierce, the Fyros rank themselves among the greatest Atysian warriors who have built their society on a strict code of honor. Not very devout by nature, the Fyros are allying themselves more and more with the Kamis. |
18
|[[L_Matis| !civ_matis.jpg!]]| *[[L Matis|The Matis]]* are proud heirs of an old Monarchy from the haunted woods who seek to restore their lost Kingdom. Highly cultivated aesthetes well versed in forest botany, the Matis are both a romantic and a conquering race. They staunchly believe that, just as every particle of the universe has a function, every homin must strive for his or her true place in society. They are the most loyal servants of the Karavan.|

|[[L_Tryker| !civ_tryker.jpg!]]|Shorter of stature than the other homin races, *[[L Tryker|the Trykers]]* are wily hedonists forming a federation more than a single people. Friends of the winds and princes of the lakelands, the Trykers are excellent explorers and inventors who nurture a dream of a world without tyranny or intolerance, with neither masters nor slaves. They consider the Karavan as the devout disciples of the goddess Jena. |

|[[L_Zorai| !civ_zorai.jpg!]]| *[[L_Zorai|The Zoraï'i]]* are feared mystics from the dark and hidden jungles who zealously serve the living planet. In their search for spiritual enlightenment, the Zoraï'i have grown close to the mysterious Kami. |

Two groups as powerful and mysterious as one another seek to control the destiny of Atys. Both possess unique powers, both claim to be the true guardians of the planet, both come to the aid of homins as long as they obey their rules, both are secretive about their origins and perhaps even their true intentions. For centuries now, they have followed different paths, observing one another without confrontation. Their protection is vital during your journey on Atys whereas their anger could prove deadly.

|[[L_Kami| !puissance_kami.jpg!]]|Strange and eerie entities capable of taking on various appearances, *[[L Kami|the Kamis]]* constitute a major influence on Atys and its habitants. They stand vigil over the plant kingdom and ensure that no one may destabilize the fragile equilibrium of the planet they cherish. They share a collective conscience and it would seem that no living species may escape their perception, and consequently, their wrath if their laws of conservation are transgressed. Like the Karavan, the Kamis travel freely through the lands of Atys keeping endless watch and endeavoring to make pacts with laudable homins in exchange for deeds done.|
29
|[[L_Karavan| !puissance_kara.jpg!]]|*[[L Karavan|Karavan]]* is composed of mysterious anthropoid beings in black suits and helmets that cover their entire heads. With the exception of the Prime Roots, the Karavan is present throughout Atys. Indeed, the homins have never yet explored an area where Karavan presence is not felt. The members of the Karavan live in great metallic vehicles and use weapons of technology as yet unknown to hominkind. The homins mostly hold them in awe.|

Members of the Karavan claim to be the messengers of the goddess Jena and use technology that is as yet unknown on Atys. The Kamis are mysterious creatures who possess great magical powers. The Fyros, Matis, Trykers and Zoraï'i must choose their side. Will they be able to find the right path to lead them to the lost secrets of their ancestors?
