The Crimson Veil

The Crimson Veil is Cressari's absolute power—a seaborne theocracy cloaked in arcane mystery, ritualized decadence, and ruthless control. It is not a hidden faction pulling strings in the dark; it is the government, the church, and the arcane hierarchy all in one. To enter Cressari is to enter their dominion, where every pleasure has a price, and every contract bears their sigil.

What was once a coalition of pirate lords, sea warlocks, and pleasure cults has, over centuries, transformed into a singular ruling order, centralized in doctrine and execution. Their empire began on the water — hence the sails — but now rules over the volcanic city, and parts of the sea itself. They do not merely govern; they curate reality within their borders.
