Nah its fine, was joshing on the imperialist memes anyway. Those are for the radical factions.

Funny thing is this Black Lotus faction doesn't seem to be all too bad since their MO seems to be a QRF for bigly Oh-shit-tier foes fucking up the land. Contrary to what one may believe, the Brotherhood is not anti-DL, they just don't want their children to be slaves.

Perhaps they can one day work together?

The Brotherhood is divided up into three factions, a triumverate, the Commonwealth, the Principality, and the Freefolk.

The Commonwealth is the largest faction of it, and the main dudes to represent the hood. Big on the revolutionary sentiment, open to monsters now that the humanities have gotten a facelift, take on a "If you want a better deal with evolution, cut out the middleman." type outlook on their genetic ascendancy. Ultimately the most stable and docile faction, but teeters on its utilitarian revolutionary social dogma that it risks teetering off into 'For the people, comrade.' territory if it wasn't for saner minds keeping things afloat. For now.

''"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"''

The Freefolk is the 'radical' end of the Brotherhood's spectrum, originally was a hardline 'Dominion' opting to embrace a more extreme 'first order' of evolution into a super-predator type human race that strives on energy itself, be it spirit or demonic. It ended up fracturing into splintered factions after the Commonwealth waged war with them over domination of the Brotherhood. They now still exist, splintered off into nomadic and barbaric entities that are contained and controlled at the behest of the Commonwealth. Mostly their young generation survived the conflict, and were raised under the teachings of Commonwealth ideals.

They are 'A generation of younglings devoid of conscience, imperious, relentless, and cruel.'  But this does not inherently mean they are morally detestable people, they're biological design are humans given the rush of ecstasy at the concept of the hunt, the battle, to crush the foe under their feet and yada yada egdyness. The Commonwealth, taught these boys how to refine this attitude as a force for egalitarianism and good will by preying on those that prey on others. The certain Radical factions of the DL, the kind that would see men in chains and call it love, for instance. Call me a sucker for irony and Shadenfreude.

The Principality is moreso a directorate than a Kingdom, it aims to achieve second-order singularity within this momentum of human genetic progress and is trying to keep the ball rolling under a unified collective. The 'Prince' in this case doesn't exist, yet. A imaginative figure of what their children will be.
