Purgers

We will march in there and take the heads of those damned devils! We will free this camp and our rewards will be plenty. We are the torch that lights the way!

— General Omolara

In Lanfe, hope is a foolish concept to most, especially to those barely living under the tyrannical rule of devils and demons, working unceasingly, being hunted down for sport, or worse. In the hearts of mankind, hope has been extinguished, abandoned by the wayside, forgotten. But hope itself is not dead, it is not lost, for there are those that rise up against all odds and fight back against what seems inevitable.

Purgers are the emissaries of hope with them they bring a new possibility to the monotony that is life for most in Lanfe. Purgers are warriors and mages, trained to fight against the fiends that rule the land. They roam Lanfe in small bands or companies and put their lives on the line to restore hope to the downtrodden and hopeless.

Many purger companies rally under the banner of an Exalted, a purger whose power is legendary, and together they conduct long campaigns against the kingdoms of devils princes and demon lords. Turning the tide of a battle simply by their presence, the Exalted are the living embodiment of hope. Even the most powerful fiends sweat at the news of an Exalted convoy headed to their encampment or territory.

Purgers are all unique in their own ways, some were trained formally, while others had to teach themselves in order to survive. They do not always get along, for how one instills hope is not monolithic, but one thing is certain, all Purgers want to liberate Lanfe.

Structure

The structure of an individual purger company varies from company to company. Some companies may have a single leader or benefactor who they follow, a council of elders, or possibly no leader at all. However when companies rally together under the banner of an Exalted then the structure becomes more militaristic. The Exalted is the marshal or high commander at the top, they have appointed their generals and their generals handle the ranking downward.

Culture

Most purgers believe it is their duty to free Lanfe from the shackles of its birth. Fiends, devils, and demons need to be removed to restore Lanfe to their idealized state. How a purger company presents itself to the world is different for each, but they all share the double-edged sword of if one company does well then joyous word will spread, if one fails or does something perceived to be unkind then it reflects on them all.

Since purger companies can be comprised of people from varying backgrounds and cultures it is not uncommon for there to be tensions external and internal. Some believe rallying under an Exalted can prove more harmful than not, while some work tirelessly to achieve higher rank within an Exalted's convoy.

There does exist a culture of winner takes it all, and riches and glory, that permeates throughout many of the purger companies, for many purgers see the lifestyle as a way to attain that which they never had. Some see it as a way to provide for their families and for those they care about and others see it as simply no other way to live.

Public Agenda

The desires of the heart, the secrets locked away, are present within all that survive on Lanfe. But to all those on the outside looking in, purger companies for the most part are altruistic and simply want to bring hope to the hopeless and rid the land of fiends.

Assets

Each purger company's coffers can vary greatly, smaller companies have smaller numbers and wealth while Exalted and those beneath them may have an abundance unknown and unheard of to most of the population of Lanfe.

Most purger companies have a number of RIMs that they own and many believe purgers without RIMs are impractical. Most Exalted convoys won't even allow a company to rally if they don't have any RIMs to offer/join the caravan.

Weapons and equipment are usually whatever the purgers can carry on their person or in their RIMs. Larger RIMs are able to carry more and there are some purger companies that have dedicated armory RIMs.

The new dawn blooms as we free it.
