By Tooth And Claw Dragons

Official Player Groups

Welcome to BTACD's official player group page! These are large-scale groups - organizations, families, councils, factions, councils, etc - that are staff-run. Players are largely free to make characters for any of the below - very few are closed or limited, and applying to join one is as simple as creating a character for it and submitting a Group ticket! However, keep in mind that some are tied to plot positions or are otherwise restricted.

Many of these groups are in leadership positions; they govern a large number of individuals, and lesser groups, families and factions may fall under their banner. An example of this may be a lesser assassin's guild being overseen by the Onyx Faction, or a smaller lion pride looking to the Mahdros for guidance. Keep this in mind if you should create your own Lesser Player Group, as they may need to answer to an OPG!


Interested in Lesser Player Groups? You can find several LPGs in the link below! These are fully player-run and player-created, with few restrictions and many different choices. Create your own, join one, have fun!

Lesser Player Groups

Current Groups

Below you may find the following current Official Player Groups, and small descriptions of each. Please click their links to see their full info!

If a group has a green gem next to it, it is entirely open! Gold means that it is restricted, often to a plot position or staff-opened availability. Red means that the group is currently closed!

Keep in mind! These are not entirely alphabetical; some are grouped together based on their relation to each other, such as dragon families or wolf packs.

Order of Mages

Type: multi-race organization

The largest and strongest organization of magic-users in all Realms, directly overseeing smaller mage's guilds, the study of magic, and the usage of dangerous and corruptive magical spells and artifacts. An archmage and mage's Tower can be found in every known Realm.


Onyx Faction

Type: assassins guild

The largest and strongest assassins' guild in all known Realms. Controls smaller organizations tightly, and works with commoner and nobility alike.


Ruby Faction

Type: thieves guild

The largest and strongest thieves' guild in all known Realms. Controls smaller organizations tightly, and works with commoner and nobility alike.


Draconic Royal Family

Type: dragon royal family

Direct descendants of the dragon Ancient First, and the leading Vystrian royal family. Holds an inherent connection to Felnova's balance. Small in number, but very powerful; gifted with great magic, but the strain of the balance actively eats away at any current ruler.

Controlled by staff; related adoptables of royal dragons are occasionally released!


Millirandian Remnant

Type: dragon noble family

The dragons left behind in the great exodus of dragonkind to Felnova. A mixture of convergent evolution and relation have given them several common features and resistance to their cold environment, and most have either feathers or fur. Leaders of all dragons living in the Realm of Millirand.


Nightwind Clan

Type: dragon noble family

The leading noble family of dragons in the Realm of Noctis. Known for their feather accents, sharp claws and dark colors; viewed in a mixture of fear and admiration by those they govern. Known (discreetly) as the 'dragon mafia'.


Aethyrian Elder Council

Type: Aethyrian dragon council

The leaders of the Aethyrian dragons, these elders are considered the most knowledgeable of all Aethyr's creatures. Each of Aethyr's elements is represented by a single Elder Keeper, who works closely with the others of the Council and their reigning Imperial Houses. They reside in the capital of Aethyra, in the Heartlands.

Controlled by IC plot positions, please apply to join!


Oathkeepers

Type: Aethyrian dragon noble family

A very large noble family of 'blessed' white-scaled Aethyrian dragons who govern and oversee the Celestial Faith in Aethyr. Extremely dedicated to their faith, and hold great power with the Celestial Order. The Oathkeepers answer only to the Elder Keepers and no other.
