Righteous Spear
Though the Iron Legion rules most of the world, there is a rebellion that has ben fostering and growing over the last 500 years. This group calls itself the Righteous Spear.
The Righteous Spear is spread far and wide, with cells operating in most major cities throughout the Summerlands , the Redlands and the Crescent Isles .
The Righteous Spear was founded by members of an ancient monk school known as the Path of the Five Spears, but that order was destroyed by the Iron Legion . The few surviving members of the Path created the Righteous Spear organization to stand against the Iron Lord and have worked for the last 500 or so years to defeat the foul creatures and to preserve the traditions of their member nations lest they be lost.
Duelists from the nation of Estrabaq were once the most renowned and feared throughout the entire world. After the nation fell, the three remaining master duelists went underground and joined the Righteous Spear. Today there are only a handful of these duelists still around.
