MALAR

Over twelve centuries ago the inhabitants of the continent known as Balor began to keep an account of a great godlike outsider known as Malar. This great master of the known universe is said to have eradicated all of the previous supernatural forces and left his son Balor and his daughter Lunetha to serve as stewards of the land but their bitter sibling rivalry has caused chaos and warring feuds and it is said that Malar will return to restore order to his claimed world. The prophecy speaks of a herald that will come and the secret of his coming is closely guarded by a very primitive tribe known as the
"Drugo Clan". Malar did not leave the inhabitants empty handed and embued an ancient conglomeration of documents known as the "Book of Malar" or the "Tomus Malarian"
Malar's six arms are the inspiration for six split factions that work to keep peace and provision for all. Click below to learn more about the six factions of Malar.

Black Sleeve

A Black Sleeve is said to be from the severed arm of Malar. They are considered outcasts and are cut off from civilization and ignored. Black Sleeves are usually members of other Malarian guilds that have lost their privileges.

Green Sleeve

A Green Sleeve is an elite hunter who has won an annual competition within Balor known as "The Great Hunt". When a Green Sleeve is inducted into the Guild they are appointed over a region within Balor and are in charge of provisions and infrastructure. They are also awarded a sleeve tattoo in ink on their right arm to signify their outstanding achievement.

Rune Sleeve

Attuned with the arcane aspects of Malar Rune Sleeves are able to control the chaotic and lawful aspects of Lunetha and Balor the children of Malar. However only one path can be chosen, and their magic is limited. There can only be one Rune Sleeve on the planet and often times it is to restore balance and keep peace.

Blood Sleeve

Similar to the Green Sleeves the Blood Sleeves are denizens of Balor that win the "Blood Bath" event which is a warrior tournament sometimes to the death to determine the greatest single standing warrior each year. They receive a crimson ink on their left arm to signify their victory and are then appointed protectors of provinces throughout all of Balor. Blood Sleeves serve as judge, jury and executioner with only other Sleeve's being immune to their justice. This sometimes creates moral ambiguities that lead to corruption.

Silver Sleeve

A Silver Sleeve is much simpler than its other counterparts. Each year the highest contributor during the ransom of Malar is the winner of the Silver Sleeve honor. The person awarded becomes a lord/lady of a province, or a governor of a district based on the amount of their donation.

Gold Sleeve

Not much is known regarding the Gold Sleeve but many theologians of the Book of Malar believe it is someone specifically chosen by Malar himself and when this honor is bestowed the world will be free of the supernatural squabbling of his divine children.
