Axildusk demands that people consider their roles carefully. The distances to be conquered are huge and requirements placed on individuals can be overwhelming. Groups can make the daunting nature of this world more achievable. Due to this, rivalries between organisations within Axildusk are no less bloodthirsty for the greater distances involved. In fact, the extra time, effort and expense required to get at each other, means that these antagonistic groups are even more viciously disposed to eradicating their enemies. With the immense spaces between the inhabited portions of the world, there is no problem for groups to expand. As a result, some of these organisations have managed to become very large. The other Mainstay Worlds would be shocked at the sheer scope and reach of these groups. Shadow has proved to be a kind benefactor!
