The Saviors of Crius or SOC for short, is a new organization established in response to the Affliction and the rise of the cult known as The Voids Embrace. Led by their founder Knight, a former soldier for the royal Veargreum army, SOC is dedicated to eradicating the Affliction by any means necessary.

‍

The organization's headquarters is situated within a colossal skyscraper-sized tree on the island of Veliko. With its small population and vast size, the island offers an ideal environment for a secret organization to flourish. The tree's substantial structure not only provides ample space but also serves as a formidable fortification.

‍

SOC's leadership is structured around a council, where each member holds an equal vote on organizational matters. They each have different roles and oversee specific sectors of operation, ensuring a well-rounded approach to their missions. Members within SOC are typically individuals who have been directly affected by the terrors of the Affliction. SOC's notable members include Knight and Rook, who serve as co-tactical leaders, Ghost, responsible for intelligence gathering, Hammer, who specializes in engineering, Tempest, overseeing combat training, Jumper, heading animal research, and Grimm, leading affliction research. They also have an alliance with a Trilo Umbra, a massive flying reptilian creature that lives within the tree’s canopy. This creature aids in defending SOC's base and provides transportation for their troops, lending them a unique advantage.

‍

The primary belief held by SOC is that the Affliction is a plague that must be eradicated at all costs. They firmly assert that Veargreum's strategies and efforts in combating the Affliction have been insufficient, which was a driving force behind the organization's formation. The organization employs spies throughout the continent of Veargreum to carefully identify and recruit promising individuals. Although not an official branch of the Veargreum government, SOC possesses numerous connections that enable them to subtly influence governmental affairs. They maintain vigilant surveillance over The Voids Embrace cult and undertake extensive research to understand the nature of the Affliction and find ways to halt its spread. Due to the secretive nature of SOC, recruitment is conducted with great caution.

Utilizing their specialized skills, connections, and remarkable allies in their quest to protect the realm of Veargreum one can only hope that they will live up to their name and become The Saviors Of Crius.
