III. Command Hierarchy

Graveborn Commanders – Veteran leaders entrusted with independent command. They wield their squadrons like reapers’ scythes—decisively and without hesitation.

Reapers – Elite, unpredictable, and lethal. These outliers bend doctrine to their will and always deliver results—no matter the odds, no matter the method.

GraveSeekers – Battle-tested and unwavering, seasoned operatives who have honed their edge through fire and steel. Trusted with command in the field, they are capable leaders — precise, disciplined, and lethal.

Duskblades – Experienced hunters who carry out the will of Tempus Mortis across the battlefield, loyal to command and lethal in practice.

Ashborn Operatives – Crew members still honing their edge. Tested, but not yet tempered. They are the backbone of boarding parties and key support on fleet actions.

Wraithlins – Newbloods who have sworn to Tempus Mortis. Their trial begins now, for only through discipline and fire can they earn their mark.
