The Kvardir

The Kvardir
The Kvardir are a particular group of ruthless and maniacal half-elves who hold a position of power throughout the world of Icara. "'Watch closely scum, for today you witness the might of the Kvardir and our superior rights in this world. These lowborn fools have denied their place before us, and will thus pay in kind. Plea to your pitiful Dorr if you will, but he will burn along with you, and your precious city.' - Vargus, Grand Cardinal of Palmacosta"

Human-Ranches
The Kvardir conduct their main operations from four known locations. Each of these places are known as a Kvardir Human-Ranch, and are populated with humans that have often been abducted from the nearby region to serve some unknown and sick purpose. They title this as "Human-Cultivation Work" and operate mainly under quotas assigned by Kvardir leadership.

Very few accounts of anyone leaving a human-ranch alive have been recorded, and being sent to one is considered a fate worse than death. The greater population knows little about what goes on behind the high walls and wired gates, other than pain, suffering, and the twisted abuse by the high-elf rulers.

The Four known human ranches exist one per major region excluding Bartha:
 * Palmacosta Ranch
 * Asgard Ranch
 * Iskandar Ranch
 * Teigrul Ranch

Kvardir Leadership
Each Kvardir ranch is headed by a powerful ruling half-elf titled "Grand-Cardinal." There are Four Primary Grand Cardinal's and their leader. The Grand Cardinal's oversee all ranch operations and maintain control over the region that they are located in.
