[hider=The Cabal]
-Faction Name: The Cabal of Servants

-Faction Type: Terrorists

-Faction Main Base of Operation: A majority of the Cabal is camped around the Pomorum countryside, with a camarilla inside Varisso.

-Faction Goals: The Servants aspire to reinstate some of the old nobility of Noravea while also making new nobles who will run the country, although they do not support the monarchy.

-Faction Composition:
Members of the Cabal of Servants are not uniform in many ways, composed of both Noraveans and foreigners, people of faith and atheists/agnostics, rich and poor. A truly diverse group, the Cabal is limited, however, to a relatively small circle of people, mostly descendants of the original members, known as the First Servants. Each member is screened before joining and kept under surveillance for a short period to ensure loyalty.

-Initial Assets:
-Several vehicle-mounted heavy mortars and anti-tank guns of a high caliber.
-Approximately 96 members
-A sizeable cache of high-grade IEDs and stolen/salvaged artillery/mortar shells
-Small number of civilian and military firearms with light body armor for some members
-1 encrypted radio set for each camarilla
-Connections within various levels of society, from the top to the bottom.
-Experience in a variety of fields, from finance to military training, engineering to diplomacy

-Methods of Operation:
The Cabal's operational command structure is partly centralized, emphasizing small-scale initiative in case of rising opportunities, although each camarilla, a grouping of sixteen people, is expected to report to the central command structure frequently, especially in cases of important developments. Overarching plans are devised by the Council, the name given to the camarilla guiding the Cabal. Plans are deliberated upon each day given the information acquired previously, as well as predictions of possible actions. No one man leads the Cabal, making all on the council of equal status, ensuring that if even one man or woman escapes, the command structure will persist. However, members of the council specialize in a specific section of management, although most also have some training in another area so that casualties may be accounted for. One inherent problem with such a system is that if there is too much disagreement, orders may be delayed, though this is mitigated by the independent initiative afforded the different camarillas.

Once the Cabal has grown in size, further divisions of command will take place. Central to the organization will be the council, maintaining overall control of the organization. Camarillas will be grouped into camps, consisting of up to ten dozen camarillas. Camps will fall under the leadership of a sept control group, a sept consisting of all camps within a certain area of Noverae's regions. Finally, the largest organizational unit would be a detachment, a region-sized group led by a command unit responding directly to the Council of Servants of the Cabal. Disconnection between camarillas is maintained across all stages of action to ensure that the fall of one camarilla, camp, or sept will not compromise other groups loyal to the Cabal. However, this makes the loss of a higher-level command group a heavy blow against the Servants.

No attacks have been carried out against government forces as to this point, most personnel either preparing traps and weapons for eventual conflicts or attempting to recruit others to the cause of the Cabal. Due to their desire to create maximum havoc, elaborate plans for the sabotage and destruction of large and/or important structures or systems within the country are under construction, to be conducted when the time appears best to create desirable panic levels. Due to the secretive nature of the Cabal, greater care is taken with recruitment at the moment, making it more difficult for the Cabal to select recruits because they fear a member might reveal their plans. The Cabal of Servants sustain themselves by foraging, receiving supplies from the few sympathizers that know of them, or stealing from civilians or government personnel.

-Faction History:
The Cabal of Servants traces its existence to the time of the Great War. Amid the chaos and death of the conflict, one man saw the potential for change in ashes after witnessing a stem growing pieces of rubble. By the end of the Great War, this man, whose name is unknown even to those who knew him at that time, had gathered several companions. Dubbing themselves the Servants of Noravea, it was decided between them that a radical change such as the one they envisioned could not take place within a short time frame. Splitting apart after their return to Noravea, the seven men and women kept contact with each other, developing plan after plan, biding their time until such a time presented itself that was conducive to their goals. Alas, all would die before such a time came, but a majority of their children carried on the name of the Servants. By the beginning of the second war with Wilhemsland, several other individuals not descended from the First Servants had joined with the cause.

The seventeen years between then and now would see a large amount of activity from the Servants, stockpiling goods and weapons as they could be acquired through legal means, only utilizing theft and smuggling when an item could not be acquired without either drawing suspicion or possible engagement with government forces. Approximately fourteen years ago, Higs Baron would be elected to the position of First Steward after declining to become First Councilor, the station that most would have been expected him to attain. Despite not working as Councilor, many still looked up to Baron, partly because he is a direct descendant of one of the First Servants, and also because his charismatic nature and knack for organizational planning and interpretation applied to many non-logistical situations. There are those who say that Baron secretly commands Jethro, although such whispers are very infrequent and hardly believed by a majority of the members. Even those that would believe such a claim hold no qualms against either man.

It was he who built the current organization of the Cabal, taking lessons from various other movements and groups in history when designing the camarilla structure. Although not implemented until about a year ago when the majority of the Cabal moved to Pomorum, most of the Servants were familiar with the members of their camarilla before the move. Each man and woman brings a unique experience and skill set to the Cabal, ensuring that many situations can be addressed, although the dispersal of units creates an obvious problem.

-Faction Leadership:
Higs Baron, First Steward of the Servants and overseer of the logistical side of the Cabal's operations. An ethnic Noravean, he is a direct descendant of the First Servants and believes firmly in his cause.

Solaj Ithran acts as the Second Steward and also has training in the aspects of public communication and propaganda. Although not an ethnic Noravean by birth, she has lived in the country for most of her life.

Dierks Matheson, First Marshall and the preeminent authority on military matters, Dierks plans most of the military actions with the Second Marshall and the Stewards to ensure the solidity of a plan and to requisition the appropriate supplies.

Parson Ithran, Solaj Ithran's brother, is Second Marshall of the Servants and has also received training in the area of logistics. More fanatical than his sister, he wishes to bring about the fall of the Noravean government as quickly as possible.

Feldrick Jethro, in addition to being a descendant of the First Servants and thrice-removed cousin of Higs Baron, serves as the First Councilor, coordinating all aspects of the Cabal. Although not a necessary position, it creates better conditions for operations.

(Other positions to be added eventually.

-Faction Eyes: 
Allison Krane- A member of the camarilla in Varisso, she is one of the more 'recent' adherents to the creed of the Cabal. Although slightly reluctant and wary of the overall plan, she assists in whatever is required of her nonetheless.

Verin Lath- Third generation Servant, Verin is one of the most fanatic of the Cabal's members, although she does not let this cloud her judgement when suppressing her fanaticism would be conducive to achieving the Cabal's goals. She works in the out-rider camarilla, specifically operating in Avalonia.

Tyrin Fels- Leading the "youngest" of the camarillas, Tyrin's unit commands a majority of the heavy mortars and anti-tank guns, a concentration of firepower that while substantial for a rebel group, is not enough to compete directly with the regime's military.

Karls Bentley- Sept commander of the Varisso sept, Bentley responds directly to the Council of Servants. Despite his high position, he and his command camarilla frequently move around near the operational areas of the other camarillas.
