Aspis (•): Named for the shields of the Greek warrior, you are a student, often assigned to carry gear, to rush first into battle, and to perform the tasks no one else wants to do. You own at least one relic, and you have experienced the First Initiation into the secrets of the Aegis Kai Doru. You can purchase the Relics Endowment. Xiphos (••): Named for the Greek soldier's short sword, you are considered a useful tool: capable and a rising star, though you haven't quite made a name for yourself. Your experience has demonstrated to other Aegis which faction you fit best in. Choose on faction, and gain the free Specialty associated with that faction. You also learn a factional Secret. |
The Aegis Kai Doru are an order of relic hunters and monster-killers, dedicated to snatching up the strange magics that are so often the terrible downfall for people. They are also skilled werewolf and witch hunters, with a long and tangled history involving such dangers.
Endowment: Relics. Those objects that the Aegis do not lock away into vaults, they apportion up among their agents to aid them in their hunt. Aegis agents find or are assigned items of power which their secrets allow them to wield even when other mortals cannot touch the magic in them.

The Factions
There are three major faction within the Aegis Kai Doru, each an operational group based on a division of tasks.
- The Sword: Occult (Identifying Magic). The Sword goes after the monsters, first and foremost. They're expert hunters to witches and shapechangers. They are warriors, and their Relics are usually weapons.
- The Temple: Crafts (Traps). The Temple are the guardians of the vaults, who stand guard over safehouses and labyrinths. They monitor and defend.
- The Scroll: Academics (Research). The Scroll are the researchers and academics within the Aegis. They are the smallest group, but the most knowledgeable. Their purpose is to catalog Relics, to map out monstrous territory, and to keep rosters of monsters. They also test out newfound Relics to discover their traits, and whether they should be assigned to agents, or buried in the vaults.
