The Uprising: Rebellion & Hope
The Uprising is a resistance movement made up of people who refuse to give up their freedom to the Regime. They protect hidden Celestials, help those in danger, and fight for a future where everyone can choose their own path.
Many members of the Uprising lead double lives, blending in as ordinary citizens while secretly advancing the cause of rebellion.
- The Circle: The core group of trusted strategists, visionaries, and coordinators who guide the Uprising's direction and major decisions. The Circle balances secrecy and inspiration, uniting diverse members under a common cause and adapting to the Regime's ever-changing tactics.
- Captains: Experienced rebels who lead operations on the ground and inspire others by example. Captains are known for their courage and resourcefulness, often risking everything to protect their people and outmaneuver the Regime.
- Artisans: Builders, inventors, and creatives who craft tools, gadgets, disguises, and art to support the Uprising. Artisans use both magic and technology, turning scraps and Celestials into hope and resistance.
- Handlers: Logistics experts who manage resources, safehouses, supplies, and connections across the realm. Handlers keep the Uprising alive behind the scenes, ensuring that every cell has what it needs to survive and fight.
- Shadows: Specialists in stealth, infiltration, sabotage, and intelligence gathering. Shadows move unseen through Regime territory, gathering secrets, sabotaging operations, and protecting the Uprising's most vulnerable members.
- Operatives: The main body of fighters and ground agents who carry out missions, raids, and direct action. Operatives are the backbone of the Uprising, adapting quickly to new threats and seizing every opportunity to strike back against oppression.
The Uprising combines whatever magic and technology they can find. Some members protect or experiment with unstable Celestials, while others use scavenged tech to fight back. Their tools are often unpredictable, but their creativity and willingness to adapt give them an edge against the Regime's rigid control.
The Uprising is always on the move, using coded messages, underground networks, and guerrilla tactics. They rescue the persecuted, sabotage Regime operations, and keep the memory of the old world alive. Their greatest challenge is unity. They are made up of many different people, each with their own reasons for fighting.
