00: The Betrayal
The Aikhtiar (or in Rimal, the 'Chosen') called themselves 'The Organization' appeared several years ago and made their mark in the world. Each member belonged in countries spread across the globe, and also mysterious individuals who seemed not to belong anywhere else. They made their first breakthrough by using magic that was deemed to be foreign. They foretold prophecies that came true, and those who doubted them were obliterated without a trace. The organization was neither friend nor foe. Their purpose cannot be ciphered by the common folk.
