Founding[edit | edit source]

The Establishment is the second oldest faction of them all, founded by the Humans and Dwarves after they decided that they were going to take the city of Avon. The alliance was necessary, as the Elves, with the power they harnessed with the Tree of Life, were a nearly unbeatable force, despite the fact that they only intended to use its power against others for defense. Eventually, the Establishment alliance built up an army so big that the massive number of casualties that were to be inflicted was not able to overwhelm the joint forces.

Taking of the Tree[edit | edit source]

By far, the biggest accomplishment of the Establishment is its current control of the Tree of Life. The humans outnumber the dwarves in influence and power, but the two have maintained their constant alliance between each other and share the Tree jointly, with the humans as its main curators.

Beliefs[edit | edit source]

The Establishment does acknowledge its shortcomings. Given its overwhelming bureaucracy and military size, many of its leaders are somewhat corrupt and self-centered. However, the Establishment takes pride in putting itself out there as the peace keepers, as they most of what little stability is seen in Wargate. Their borders are constantly changing, as is everyone else's, but their inner-security in towns and cities, and along roads is quite well. They have also been successful in suppressing any and all rebellions, except for the up-and-coming, but small and loosely-organized Confederacy, who they don't view as a real threat.
