Emancipators of Men

The EoM is a house devoted to Responsible Freedom in the dream. They fight through any means necessary to achieve freedom for all. They have out lasted their old enemies which included the Sect of the Prudent (The Sect) and The Cult of Bashir (CoB) and have often allied with the Emergence Academy (EA). Their current leader is Mays, with (blank) being second in command. The house structure is divided into three branches: the Defenders, Diplomats, Researcher.

House Artifact

Freedom Stone: A tablet of moderate size; heavy, but manageable; made of marble with the engraving "Freedom, and the Good of All." Its colors of sand, clay, and specks of blue are variegated throughout.

The artifact was originally found in several pieces. Zar'tenya found a few just before the Great Awakening and the remaining two pieces were found by groups of EoM supporters led by herself and Gharod on the Trinity Plains a few days after the Great Awakening. After an evening full of conflict with their rivals, the Sect of the Prudent, the pieces of the tablet were reunited on the EoM facade.

House Founding

After Idoaclese left the city of dreams his ideals were left up to interpretation. Two dreamers in particular, Igteus and Gharod, came head to head as a result of their interpretations. Each accused the other of twisting Idoaclese's philosophies for personal gain. Many battles were fought between the two and their friends. Both groups worked hard to open one of the bastions located at the end of a plane so that they might gain a defensive upper hand. Igteus and his group opened the Sect of the Prudent at the end of the Lambent Flats first but much progress had already been made by Gharod and his friends in learning how to open the bastion at the top of the Trinity Planes.

Skirmishes over their competing interpretations continued to escalate up until the Great Awakening when three of Gharod's comrades and two of Igteus' comerades inexplicably disappeared during a great battle in which the master teachers were forced to intervene. The Masters said that if they didn't intervene to stop the battle it would have continued to encompass the whole city and threaten to destroy it. One day later Gharod and Zar'tenya had the chance to return to searching for the last two pieces of the artifact which they believed, once restored, would empower them to open the doors to the bastion and be a source of hope and strength for the Emancipators. The last two pieces were found on the Trinity Planes with help of some of the young pledges. Once the pieces were joined and the artifact emanated with power the doors to the bastion opened and Gharod had the ability to give crests to those who would pledge their allegiance.

Thus began a new chapter in the fight for freedom.

House Art

Shield of Freedom

Evoking this art on another dreamer protects them from any and all damage or negative effects (e.g. scare, deafen, poison). However, they are also unable to attack others in any way. This makes it a valuable art to evoke on both allies and enemies.
