-* '''The Light Warriors''':
+* '''The Students''': The students of Alexader Academy go all over the spectrum. Some are jerks, some are heroes, some are downright villainous; they don't even necessarily have allegiances and might simply be acting of their own volition.
-* '''The Students''':
+* '''The Light Warriors''': The Light Warriors are an after-school club led by Kamon Lionward, acting as a gathering point for students who truly wish to be heroes.
-* '''The al Cids''':
+* '''The al Cids''': The rulers of Ramuh. They are on the side of good, but more importantly, on the side of the Law. Judges are trained and under the direct authority of the al Cid family.
-* '''Ground Zero''':
+* '''Ground Zero''': An unknown group of freedom fighters (or according to Murasame Zaibatsu propaganda, terrorists) whose goal seems to be to stop the Murasame Zaibatsu's ability to develop a monopoly in Galianda.
-* '''The Murasame Zaibatsu''':
+* '''The Murasame Zaibatsu''': The Murasame Zaibatsu is the largest and most powerful megacorporation of Ramuh, rivaling the al Cids in influence. Their magitech is top-notch, and they own most of the complex pattents for it, giving them a virtual monopoly on high-end magitech.
-* '''Chaos''':
+* '''Chaos''': Chaos is the Enemy, the darkest force in all Galianda. Though it lays dormant in the Core, sealed by the Divines, its power seeps out, and cultists wield it to bring about his return.
-* '''Monsters''':
+* '''Monsters''': There's monsters! Most are hostile and dangerous.
-* '''Other''':
+* '''Other''': There are countless, countless other protagonists and antagonists. Cops, vigilantes, bandits, pirates, would-be dark lords and paladins, extreme religious sects and wandering warlords. If it fits in a Final Fantasy fantasy-to-slightly-futuristic theme, it probably exists somewhere.

	=Chaos, The Enemy=		=Chaos, The Enemy=
		+	Chaos, the Enemy, the Nightmare, the Void and myriad other titles, was an absolute force of corruption and evil that opposed the Divines before the creation of Galianda. It is anti-magic, anti-order; if everything in the world is made out of magic flowing through a pattern, Chaos is the opposite, destroying the rules and laws that govern everything by its mere existence. Though it is sealed in the Core of Galianda, its influence still seeps out, seeking those willing to be hosts to its powers.
		+
		+	Chaos cultists, and those few who have become incarnations of its power, are generally insane, desperate, or lust for power at any cost. The more sane members of the cult might argue that the patterns of Galianda are restrictions, and that Chaos offers true freedom and power, to reshape the world however you want.
		+
		+	It is almost never referred to by name, instead called by its titles out of superstition.

 ==Cosmos==
-Cosmos, the Creator, is a controversial existence. The Church of Cosma claims she is the creator of Galianda, of magic itself, and that she gave her life to create the universe the world resides in, following a battle with Chaos. Yet, not a single piece of evidence has ever been found to support this lore, and the Divines themselves, in the rare instances of interaction with Humes, have never been able to confirm or deny the facts. The truth may be that only Chaos knows if the mythology is true.
+Cosmos, the Creator, is a controversial existence. The Church of Cosma claims she is the creator of Galianda, of magic itself, and that she gave her life to create the universe the world resides in, following a battle with Chaos. Documents mentioning Cosmos date back to the beginnings of Hume history, yet, not a single piece of hard evidence has ever been found to support this lore, and the Divines themselves, in the rare instances of interaction with Humes, have never been able to confirm or deny the facts. The truth may be that only Chaos knows if the mythology is true.
 To those who worship Cosmos, the Divines are essentially angels, the first children of the Creator. Like all other religions, there are good and bad worshippers, those who apply the teachings selflessly, and those who punish those who don't.
