Ironrain

An alliance of arks that declared independence in protest of the Xera Empire's annexation of the Terrascion Ark Federation. Originally part of the Terrascion Ark Federation, they broke away in opposition to Terrascion's submission to the Xera Empire and have long resisted imperial control, though they are currently locked in a ceasefire. Most members are former soldiers, and the faction adheres to a philosophy of artillery supremacy. They favor a practical, rational approach to all things. Individuals from Ironrain often serve as mercenaries for other factions. They maintain an ambiguous relationship with the now-independent Terrascion. Their key ark is Ironrain.
