The Wyr Hierarchy on SoulboundAlthough ultimately ruled by the Dragon located in the US, the European Wyr faction enjoys a relative autonomy as long as their general goals line up with those set by the Lord of the Wyr. They are fewer in the organized group, still finding factionless Wyr every now and then, from the hidden places in Europe, but they are a tightly-knit family. Regardless of their type, the Wyr are judged by their skillsets that can be useful to the organization. Thus, a short-lived housecat Wyr can climb the ranks to become the Director of Communications and Marketing just as well as any ancient Wyr could, if they have the required skills for the job.
The European Wyr are lead by
Commander Alexander Arild, an immortal Wyr Wyvern who's been in this position for over two centuries by this point. His immediate circle of assistants, officers and advisers is small to avoid any leaks, betrayals and bureaucracy.
The Wyr hierarchy is loosely divided into three groups:1)
The military wing is lead by the second in command to the Commander of the Wyr in Europe. It is the most numerous as per the nature of the Wyr, driven by their need to protect, preserve and support the Wyr way of life from anything and anyone that would seek to harm it. The military in turn consists of smaller divisions dedicated to security, intelligence and support(medicine, science, etc). They all answer to the General as he is called. Currently the position is held by (NPC)Travis Kyle, a Wyr Grizzly while the separate divisions have their own respective heads.
2)
Communications and Marketing wing is not only directed outward from the Wyr to the rest of the world but also makes sure that information goes where it needs to within the organization. This is also where the diplomats work to keep relations with the other factions smooth and at the very least, civil. Nobody wants a conflict when it comes to the Elder Races. This wing is lead by the PR-director who until very recently was Alannah Mueller, a housecat Wyr, who had expertly avoided any bigger problems and provided the human society around them a soothing presence in press conferences and inquiries. Now that she is leaving Europe for South-America, the position is open for a new candidate...
3)
The Civilian Wing. Responsible for anything from mowing the lawn to managing the many businesses that the Wyr owns, the Civilian wing is almost as big as the military but most certainly less aggressive. This is where most of the non-Wyr affiliates of the organization are working - humans, errant fae of both kinds, a couple of exiled elves... the list goes on. The interests of Wyr are many and they all need to be maintained. The civilian wing is mostly managed by the housekeeper of the Grey Castle but the position is fluid in its location and leader, always depending on the attitude and reach of the skills of the person holding it. Currently it is held by (NPC)Mara Wilson who's threatened retirement for decades now. Whether or not she actually means it, remains to be seen.
The Wyr faction on Soulbound is open, some of the named NPCs are adoptable characters and some of the positions easily replaceable so if you have an idea for a certain spot within the hierarchy, feel free to either post it in your character sheet, plots, wanted&desired forum or come to the staff directly via PMs.
