In the past there sole purpose was to maintain balance between Empires, starting wars, helping empires win/lose wars etc.

I still am fully against the idea of your magical Illuminati guiding the world through political assassinations. Let's say I wasn't against the idea of magical Illuminati, there is no possible way that wars maintain balance. The largest consequence of a war is a massive upheaval of the preexisting status quo; in simpler terms a shift in the balance of power. The only time a war "keeps balance" is when there was a previous war that unbalanced everything, in which case your magical Illuminati are doing a horrible job and should look into becoming just regular assassins.

How so? I never said they had power over any empire, only at times to seek balance they would assassinate a king or even a queen, and even burning small villages. You don't need power over any empire to do these. It only takes a skilled mind to do so. Also if you read it

Though there numbers have lessened over the years for being hunted, PunWisp is one of the last and the best of these members of the Enclave.

One of the last, being theres only a few left, to few to be much of a threat, and my guy is the best of them. Which makes him unique just like every other RP character here.
So the organization "Isn't" rigged, what I said is basically what they used to do, before they were hunted. Understand now?

Okay, so they're too small to still be magical Illuminati, but assassinating kings/queens will get wars moving, will cause a shift in the "balance", your guys are still doing a poor job. I also never said that they had power over empires, but that they were world controlling; selected political assassinations towards furthering any goal, in your case balance, is world controlling. Also, small villages? What effect does a village have on any sort of balance if it's small? If it has power, if it is influential, it is going to be a large city.

Have to agree with you Ephy about those villages.It would be like this:
A king found out that a small village was burned.
King:"Oh,no they burned our village LETS GO TO WAR AND DESTROY THEM!"
And Bloodfang also kinda assassinates Kings/Queens but only if they're hired.

I would like to point out that there is a difference between assassinating a political figure for money, and assassinating a bunch of political figures for world peace. The biggest difference being that the second one doesn't work out so well. And, world peace, and more than one political figure.

Let's see, the Kamir vindex brent storyline is more like this (from around the inn) first off, we end up at an inn, only vindex sleeps in it, the rest seems to sleep outside, Kamir was gone for the night, at the morning vindex got attacket by assassin's (again) he survived (again) Kamir got back, and they went further noth, they entered a desert, in the desert they find a woman, no time for good introductions, as a huge creature suddenly attacks them, Kamir attackes first, he attacks the belly of the creature, his beloved sword shatters, all attacks are futile, untill Kamir went beserk in his 'dark form' after thinking about how Elenai stole his magic (You should read it XD) Kamir inflicts a couple of bite wound in the tail, after that, kamir exits beserk, falls to the ground, brakes his wings and tries to run for cover, a couple of more attacks are done, eventualy the eyes of the creature are damaged/destroyed, then Brent makes lighting shoot into the neck/back of the head of the creature, the creature dies, Brent faints, after that we head north (btw, rin (portal guy XD) has been riftet to somewere else) well, and then we come at around the point we are now (as gath said so nicely, we were moving at the speed of continental drift XD)

As far as myself, I've been lying around next to Zan105's quick portal for several weeks (real-time) ever since that hueg rift asplosion up in the mountains. Please start up the main storyline, as I said (not Gath, me), this RP has been moving at the speed of continental drift compared to the glacial but more acceptable pace it moved when you (and consequently, the main storyline) were here.

Here is the info on Alterrans. Also, it had been decided that they did not come from some magical undiscovered continent, but were forced out of the old one and moved somewhere else. They are not as advanced in technology as Kianor (especially after those nasty wars), but they're more advanced than most.

I'm back for about... two weeks. I have to think of something as to why my character was gone when Brent woke up or whatever... and Elenai, if you need some help with my race or if you're doing anything with them in the lore, let me know.
