The Draketh

The Draketh is a faction of devils who are devoted to spreading total chaos; that is to say they seek to totally destroy order and civilization. The faction is opposed to the Hierarchy, whose they feel is too much of a structured bureacracy to properly spread chaos across the world. They mainly focus on targeting mortals through brazen acts of violence and manipulation, and mostly use the race of the Serzin for their aims. This means that their influence is strongest on Yyradayn, but they do attack and cause chaos in other locations too, depending on the alignment of local devils. On other continents they take advantage of the most violent, evil, and cruel organizations located in these regions to spread their vile ideals. Since the Draketh are more of a loose organization of different devils sharing the same views they can struggle to coordinate their actions on a trans-continental scale and therefore are usually on a back foot against the powerful Hierarchy, despite the Hierachy's own coordination issues.

The Draketh organization appeals to the most cruel and violent of devils, and has a notable disparity in the different Sin Lineages within its ranks. Devils of the deceit, disorder, and wrath lineages are overrepresented because the goals and expression of the Draketh most closely match their temperament. This in turn encourages the Draketh to become even more violent in their acts. The Draketh as a whole are mainly involved in trying to end society and return mortals to a purely subsistence lifestyle in which they are hunted and attacked by devils and demons with impunity, providing the devils with endless reign over the world without needing an overarching government. This would allow the devils to act on their baser instincts and establish a metaphorical hierarchy of the strong.

History

The Draketh is one of the oldest groups to oppose the Hierarchy, arising from the very first organization of devils after their retreat to the Shadow Dimension. The Draketh, and its many splinter groups and factions which merged into it, have been a thorn in the side of the Hierarchy since before humans knew how to write. They see the continuing advancement of civilization as proof the Hierarchy has failed. The Draketh controlled the main portal onto Yyadayn since time immemorial until the arrival of the Dark Elves onto the continent. The Dark Elves fought against the Serzin and began exterminating them, which led to the Draketh's influence over the continent slipping. This in turn allowed the Hierarchy to fight the Draketh in the Shadow Dimension, and in a great defeat for the Draketh, seize the main portal onto Yyradayn. The Draketh would only make a comeback after The Great Calamity destroyed Dark Elven society and allowed their brand of chaos to spread once more. This in turn allowed the Draketh to start nurturing a regrowth of the Serzin and fight back against the Hierarchy, thus allowing other factions and houses to also throw their hats in the ring and fight for control of the continent, leading to the current state of Yyaradayn's connected Shadow Dimension.
