Scarlet Brotherhood
Little is known about the leadership of the Scarlet Brotherhood, although it is believed to be led by someone called 'the Father of Obedience'. They are vaguely theocratic in nature, with a monastic order overseeing most of its political affairs. Its monks are trained in a form of hand-to-hand combat and generally abstain from the use of weapons. Life in regions controlled by the Scarlet Brotherhood is believed to be very unpleasant for anyone who isn't a monk. Rank is determined by the purety of one's blood, as the Brotherhood values the Suloise race and culture above all others. All monks are pureblood humans with pale skin, blue eyes and blonde hair.
Despite their unpleasant reputation, the Brotherhood has 'conquered' nations through popular uprising before, and they are believed to have agents in most other major cities aiming to destabalise governments and promote Brotherhood aims. For direct combat they have been known to experiment with breeding 'mongrel' races with orcs to create powerful slave armies. However, these are seldem seen outside occupied lands, as the Brotherhood prefers to invade territory only after it has been torn and divided from within.
Because of the Brotherhood's xenophobic views, they do not readily accept trade with their neighbours. However it is believed that the Red Monks, while granted total freedom and authority over the enslaved masses, tend to live frugal lifestyles.
