The hierarchy started out as a cooperation between the solars Azizah, Kanbei, Becna and Fera. It was formed because a formal democracy does not have the ability to respond with enough speed in case of emergencies, and because Solars specializing in social manipulation have to much sway over those not able to resist this.

The background, reasoning and justification of the hierarchy is described in Hierarchy.

Formal Alliances

The hierarchy has formal alliances to the following factions:

• Crystal Fountain Court, a Cselenyne pact
• The Principality of the Sand Border, a Cselenyne pact
• The Congregation of the Mountain Masters, a Cselenyne pact
