The Story of Prescion takes places on a world not too different from Earth, only somewhat in the future. Many smaller nations have banned together or been annexed by growing empires of ideology, and now the larger nations vie for control. The largest and most powerful of these nations are Runaria, and Agregorn. It is in Runaria, that the story begins, centered around a main character of the player's choosing, and a handful of other agents within the elite Runarian Special Forces.

Agregorn Elite Fighters

The AEF have a single mission: protect and enact the will of Agregorn across the world. They seek to be the first and last line of defense against invasion and are proud of their technological supremacy on a global level.

Children of Silver Sands

The Children of Silver Sand are a collection of freedom fighters that often resort to terrorism to get their views across. Their origin dates back to the proxy wars between Golganthor and Zagostan, where Golganthor forces used nuclear bombs to subdue civilian towns. The few survivors banned together on the cooked glass, and vowed for eternal revenge for the injustice they endured. They seek nothing more than the destruction of the Golganthor Syndicates, especially Setheca. They are mostly located in Zagostan, though they have some cells in Runaria as well.

Gaians

Gaians are eco-terrorists that believe the corporations of every nation are contributing to the destruction of Earth, and feel justified in using any force to stop said corporations. Most of their attacks are on factories, power plants, and industrial complexes. However, they will sometimes resort to kidnapping and assassination of key people to help bring down companies and nations if they have to. Gaians are found all over Earth, though they are concentrated in Runaria and especially in Agregorn.

Gauntlet of Fire

The gauntlet of fire seeks power to rule the world based on their fanatical belief in Noke, the God of Darkness. They believe that Umbrals are supreme beings brought from another plane of existence, and through them the rite of the Gauntlet shall be made clear when the faction has control over the world. They are based largely in Runaria and Golganthor.

Golganthor Mercantile Cartel

The GMC is the leading governing body of Golganthor, which is a government based on a cooperative between plantations and trade companies. The GMC is similar to the League of Corporate Owners, in that it derives legislative power from comercial ownership. However, membership is not granted by virtue of owning a business and being elected as a representative of the business. Rather, members are allowed admittance only by existing members, assuming they meet the qualifications of belonging to the aristocracy as well as the allowance of the member's family. The Syndicate holds the most seats in the GMC, and holds the most power by virtue of having the highest economical status.

League of Corporate Owners

The league is a collection of CEO and other company presidents and directors who band together to vote on who is the present leader of Agregorn. Though not always discussed, this group holds absolute power over everyone in Agregorn, but given that all members are elected by the various boards on their respective company and all company heads get equal vote, it is not possible for a single individual or the league itself to assert absolute power. The League is entirely within Agregorn.

Order of the Blade

The most holy Order of the Blade believes in humility and the teachings of their Messiah, Dormin. They are fond of the nation of Runaria, though claim independence. The sacred city of Ester trains the devout to become scholars, monks, and paladins of their order. Those that leave the order do so as a service to their order, to work as trade and help protect Runaria (never attacking the enemy outside Runaria's border).

The Organization

The Organization is a (not so) secret resistance group within Golganthor that seeks to overthrow the oppressive merchant leagues and abolish slavery world wide. Though they seldom resort to terrorism, they are frequent causes of sabotage and have caused several corporations to fall due to the timing of their mischief. As such, many Golganthor and even some Agregorn companies see them as a serious threat that must be stopped at all costs.

Runarian Special Forces

The RSF is a specialized organization within the Runarian Army. These agents serve as covert operatives and commandos. Unlike normal special forces units, citizens can recruit directly into the RSF, assuming they can pass the rigorous tests placed on every individual that joins. Each civilian that enters the RSF enters as one of eight specific classes, though the vast majority are soldier class. The majority of the RSF are based in Stronghold, a military town in southwestern Runaria. Here, they are primarily led by Commander Xoh.

Sethecan Syndicate

The Syndicate (as it is commonly called) is the largest and most powerful corporation in Golganthor. They own Sigma Prime as well as most of the slave trade companies. They care for little more than profit, and will only contract out when a sure thing can be obtained. They provide for the bulk of Golganthor's defenses, and are feared and respected by all other corporations in Golganthor (though very unpopular across the world).

The Umbral

The Umbral are not so much an organization as they are a race. They are basically versions of many life forms on Earth from dogs to Urdar to Humans. The key difference between Umbrals and other life forms lie in their vicious tenancies, unnatural strength, and regenerative strength. Many Umbrals exist in human society, posing as people. As to why Umbrals seek to join in human society or why they exist at all... remains a mystery. Islemast will proudly admit that he is Umbral, if you survive meeting him.
