Editing TEHOM: Archons of the Northern Waves (section)

=Backstory=
For almost two centuries, humanity has experienced peace and prosperity under a social order known as kleocracy, where the superhuman few rule city-states through neo-feudal political and economic networks.  Stability was been achieved, and destructive wars were replaced by honor-bound conflicts between champions.  It has been a golden age according to many.

The Kairos Covenant is an alliance of cosmopoli who wish to band together for common defense against enemies particularly those who seem antithetical to the life of humanity on Tehom.  There are three specific enemies that concern the Kairos Covenant:


'''Thaimbase'''

Nineteen years ago, Lord General Reisha Thaim came seemingly from nowhere to take over the cosmopolis of Deltaport in a swift and brutal coup d'etat.  Twelve years ago, the cosmopolis now called Thaimbase began aggressive behavior toward its neighbors.  It would challenge Archons to duels over minimal issues, and would resort to raiding to acquire resources it desires.  Even worse, it appears that it is building a standing army of "Metamen," members of the Many who have been enhanced and psychologically linked together.  He threatens open war in a way that Tehom has not seen since Warmaster Molyvdos raged across the islands.


'''The Dundainian Anarchy'''

A decade ago, three cosmopoli on the same landmass fell in a war that became a revolution.  In their place stands the Dundainian Anarchy (though they call themselves a "Commune"), a polity ruled by the Many without the superhuman Few.  They promote an ideology that rejects the Few as rightful rulers, and claim the Many have a right to shape destiny as much as anyone.  The Anarchy is quiet, though many fear it is secretly exporting revolution.  It is an ideological threat of the highest order.


'''The Hadalians'''

Monsters have always swam and slept in the deep oceans of Tehom, but they have changed in last generation.  They have turned their mindless yet vicious attention toward humanity's offshore installations, shipping lanes, and even the occasional cosmopolis.  Their attacks have become more frequent, and we do not know why.  While Thaimbase is a military threat, and the Anarchy is an ideological one, the Hadalians are hostile to human life and the ecosystem that supports it.
