Makers are one of the four major orders of vislae. They direct their magical skills toward making things, and as an organization their main focus is sharing those skills and techniques.
Probably.
One of the strangest things about the Makers is their need for internal secrecy. So great is this need that they have developed a comprehensive disinformation campaign about themselves. They don’t hide their secrets—they obfuscate them amid so many deceptions that no one can tell where the truth really lies.
The layers of lies and truth change depending on your association with the order and their ascending degrees.
The following bits of information are known by people outside the order and those just starting their path as a Journeyman Maker. Some of these “facts” are contradictory.
✦✦ The Order of Makers is secretly allied with the Deathless Triumvirate and is responsible for maintaining the very existence of Satyrine.
✦✦ The Makers made the world.
✦✦ The Makers made Shadow, and the Demiurge (its presumed warden) is actually the head of the order.
✦✦ The Makers are very loosely knit as a group. It’s more of a professional organization than an order.
