Category:Ebony Wings

The Ebony Wings has its origin as a unit of Tainted Metal Demons led by Riesenlied; however, as of the attack on the Fairgrounds, Riesenlied herself has formally expressed her intentions of branching the unit out as an inter-factional alliance of those that have an interest in upholding the Treaty of Iscariot, a 500-year old treaty written at the first Filgaian summit that bars the use of devastating weapons of mass destruction. The Ebony Wings seeks to intervene against acts that violate the Treaty, particularly in the form of misusing ancient artifacts of the past to provoke acts of war.

Mission Statement

"We of the Ebony Wings can only see the political situation of Ignas escalating towards an ever more horrifying form of war that very Treaty was written to prevent. More and more artifacts are dug up daily from Ruins and weapons caches discovered around the continent. A majority of these artifacts are in fact the remnants of our ancestors and their enemies: The fossils of Dragons that many have shaped into Gear parts, the ARMs crafted from Metal Demon remnants. Their very enemies are the Golems displayed in Adlehyde's Cultural Exhibition are no less overwhelming and excessive in destructive power.

Their inclusion in war would only make the mutual destruction of all countries in Filgaia a foregone conclusion.

The Ebony Wings have chosen to make a stand for this reason.

Territory, religion, artifacts, no matter what the reason or excuse: if there is ever an evident act of abuse of these artifacts being carried out, we will commence intervention with our forces. Those that promote and accelerate the means and acts of war shall also be valid targets for our intervention."

Members
