During the year 1215, tension in Siregal came to an all-time high. After half a century of rebellion against the monarchy by its mages, civil war broke out. Large groups of rebels did not always agree with the details of their goals, and rebel factions broke off.

Sangre Mar was created by the young and angry Enn Marren'Vik, bastard to the royal house. Fresh from Namarast, Enn was ready to start taking matters into his own hands when it came to the disparities in Siregal. He did not agree with the softer factions who wanted to work together with the Royals, to keep later unrest at a minimum.

Together with likeminded people the group came together. Sangre Mar was made out of mages, mercenaries, but also common folk who didn't want to live under the rule of the monarchy anymore, or who had known proverty for too long.

In posession of a potion of sorts that buffed mages their power for brief periods of time, Sangre Mar became most notorious for their quick sweeps of battlefields before retreating. In the background they supplied other groups with these potions as well, and stepped out of the way of groups who were perhaps more violent than they themselves were. Never stopped anyone who aligned with their own goals, no matter the style of achieving them.

With his knowledge on the property the royals lived on, Enn was able to assist with the storming of the castle before the rebels declared themselves victorious, and the installment of the magocracy took place. The royals themselves where nowhere to be found.

For many, this was enough. But with a small group Enn set out, knowing very well where the royal family would be hiding. Their bodies would be found weeks after Sangre Mar had left the area, and eventually Siregal, behind.

Now, Sangre Mar has resurfaced in Ivras, where a similar kind of unrest is stirring as all those years ago in Siregal. So far, Sangre Mar is rebuilding, having located themselves near the harbour in Faline. Most of their activity revolves around assisting mages in hiding, weaponizing these mages, and theft and blackmail of the nobility in Ivras.

- Bring back freedom to the mages, main outward goal
- Bring actual power to mages, install a similar system as in Siregal (Magocracy)
- Corruption is a product of the oppression of mages, Enn's intention is to look at the source of the problem, to work on fixing it instead of all-over surpression of mages
- Remove the wealth disparity
- Remove the monarchy
- Remove power from the Order, make it an institute for knowledge and not a camp
- Remove the Archon, put power with a chosen group of people, Order has be in service to the mages

- Free mages from Namarast
- Take resources from the Monarchy/rich/Namarast
- Weaponize mages
- Group mages, groups are easier to defend than individuals
- Bring mages to 1 goal

The Mar

The Mar is the name of the generalized area in which Sangre Mar houses themselves. This is also where Enn's base, the Red Slipper is located.

This area is located on the outskirts of Faline on the side of the harbour, and is mostly hidden by the large buildings it's built behind. The Mar's housing is tall rather than wide, small rooms and lots of stairs. Most if not all of the buildings are made completely out of a dark yellow stone, made murky by the lack of light in the area, and the dust settled upon the environment.

Besides the buildings being mostly thin and tall, the streets themselves too are often narrow alleyways paired with stairs leading to new areas. It is a poorly lit maze, and a nightmare to get lost in.

The residents of the Mar are mostly mages, and those who are not are at least on their side. These mages keep the area safe, the water running, and provide each other with their various magics. The Mar is a big team effort held together by Sangre Mar, the group surviving off of the resources the area gives them.

Enn is The Mar's debtor and landlord, and while his fist is not an iron one, he keeps a keen eye on those living in his properties. Anyone posing a possible risk to the operation is swiftly dealth with, and Enn is not one known for his mercy.

Not all people living in the Mar are also Sangre Mar members, but Sangre Mar provides for them. Anyone who needs the help can get it, without necessarily needing to help the Sangre Mar on their missons.

The Red Slipper

A bar and small gambling hall, The Red Slipper is the main base of operation for Sangre Mar. Most often, Enn can be found here, together with a few of his closest hands. Like the rest of the buildings in the Mar, The Red Slipper is a high and deep building rather than wide, which only makes it darker the deeper inside you go.

It is a mix of card games and meetings between higher-ups, missions and plans being discussed in the open. The Slipper swallows any newcomer up into its midst, turns them inside-out before letting go again. There is too much in the open for there not to be trust, and Sangre Mar makes very sure anyone setting foot inside is reliable. Any new face usually is set to meet up with Enn in his office on the floor above, only to be reached through a dark, narrow staircase hidden in the back of the building. In the office, the actual missions get discussed, plans laid out for ears Enn carefully picks out to hear them.
