8.2.13 The Somatikos

"Kindle the fire, be ruthless; be a paragon of inspiration to those you
    protect, and a moonlit dagger to those you oppose."

Fiercely protective of the city of Hashan, the Somatikos believe strongly in
the importance their home plays upon the world stage, and will go to any
lengths to keep the Hashani way of life secure. To an extent they consider the
realm at large a part of their protectorate against the dangers of fanaticism
and tyranny, and are ever working to further the interests of the Court of
Shadows. Guardians of equality, experts of reconnaissance, masters of
engineering and craftsmanship, they are a varied team but one that works
together seamlessly.
