The world of Flamepunk is one of infighting, competing influence, and power brokering among powerful factions that seek to control the world, the people, and the magic. However, three major contenders for the role of "world domination" have arisen through the twists of history.

Since these organizations are so influential in the large and small activities of everyday life, each of them is given their own page.
