The Wrights' Heirs

The ambitious inner ring above the Far College — arcanists who believe they are the rightful heirs to the Wright's own dead craft, and mean to wield recovered Imperium arcana and old relics for real power, advantage, and the wealth that buying it brings.

The Vale's most dangerous arcane operators. Where the College trades in lessons, the Heirs trade in leverage: they hoard the workable Imperium arcana, corner the salvage that other diggers can't make sense of, and turn what they recover into power over the people who need it. Their name is the claim — Vallen is dead and his craft ownerless, and they mean to be the ones who actually reclaim it, whatever the Ashen priests say about a dead god's mysteries staying buried. Old Work bronze and old relics pass through their reading-halls constantly — but to a Wright's Heir a relic is a tool worth wielding and a commodity worth a fortune, dug up, priced, and either kept for the edge it gives or sold to the highest bidder. They cultivate patrons, undercut rivals, and lean on anyone who fears what they've learned to do. Knowledge, to them, is just the surest road to coin and command.
