“Someday, perhaps, the tribes will be one again. Let us keep that flame burning. Until that day comes, we must remain vigilant against those who would extinguish the light and cast us into the darkness of anarchy.”

~ Renn Gistos yl-Harabec, Phoenix Prime

Background

The oldest and most traditional of the tribes, the Children trace their ancestry back to the legendary Harabec, the immortal Phoenix. Their ultimate goal is reunification of all tribes under the Phoenix banner. The Children adhere to a body of custom called "The Tenets of Harabec" and expect other tribes to follow it as well.

Although the Children speak of peace among the tribes, they are warriors without peer, and finish their battles with terrifying finality.l The phoenix take pride in their elite status. And so far, no other tribe has succeeded in shattering that reputation.

They organize themselves into armies called Wings, regiments called Pyres, and squads called Flames.

On the Starwolf

"They turn disadvantage into advantage, adversity into asset. A worthy ally and a dangerous enemy, they are yet too fond of roaming to accept the wisdom of our teachings."

On the Diamond Sword

"Everything is a question to them, a puzzle to solve, a mystery to unravel. But not everything is gray, and the Sworders lack the strength of conviction necessary to act decisively."

On the Blood Eagle

"Butchers united only by bloodlust and their preposterous claim to be the oldest tribe. How they have fallen from their noble origins."

On lesser tribes

"Those who join us are welcome. Those who choose otherwise will suffer. We can only hope to show them the truth."

On the Empire

"Let it rot in decadence and greed. Someday Phoenix will return, and we will raise something infinitely finer in place of mere Empire."

On Immortals

"Some deny that Harabec and other ancient warriors still walk among us. Fools! Have they not listened to the histories? The Immortals exist!"
