                                        ii) To create a hidden base of operations from which to strike at the our
                                        enemies, namely those factions of an expansionist, anti-crime or
                                        tyrannical nature.
                                        iii) To be a haven for all those not accepted by other, intolerant

                                        Our faction is open to anyone with an interest in skullduggery and
                                        danger! All members must devote themselves to the construction of the
                                        New World, and the downfall of our enemies. Any species may join.

                                        9. Recent history

                                        This faction was founded by a group of real-life friends living in Perth,
                                        Western Australia, all ardent Atriarch fans. We didn't like the looks of all
                                        the factions out there; they all looked the same: democratic society,
                                        peaceful, empire-building, anti-crime. Yeah yeah, seen it all before. We
                                        wanted a little more danger, so we created the New World.
                                        In-game history has not yet been decided upon, however a short
                                        storyline detailing Elazair's tragic past will be posted to the web-site
                                        (and possibly the Stratics RP forum) soon.

                                        10. Allies and Enemies

                                        The New World has no allies; we take orders from no one, and trust no
                                        one with our secrets. Our enemies are any faction attempting to expand
                                        to the Lost Continent, as well as any society which we deem to have too
                                        powerful a hold over its citizens. Such power-hungry and controlling
                                        empires include the Karshan Empire and the Shayun.

                                        11. Code of conduct

                                        Our society shall be governed chiefly by respect and trust, with a little
                                        bit of fear thrown into the mix. Within the New World, all technology and
                                        knowledge shall be shared between citizens, and the strong shall aid
                                        the weak. No one need ever be destitute. We envision that this will work
                                        as a sort of 'honor among thieves'.
                                        In addition, we shall be ruled by the Council of Five, comprising a
                                        representative of each species and including the Atrios. The Council
                                        shall vote on matters of importance to the faction, and the Atrios shall
                                        have the casting vote. The Atrios will not have any powers of veto or
                                        any powers beyond that of a member of the Council.
                                        Within the faction, the highest form of dishonour is treason. Any being
                                        found to be selling information or technology to the enemy shall be
                                        tracked to the ends of Atriana.
