Tri-Starred:
Nationalist group that seeks to restore The Realm as the imperial power that controls the entire House. So-named because they have removed two of the five stars that comprise the crest of The Realm - the ones representing Tsarina Arcadia (who issued the Brothers Edict and signed the Astraviya Treaty) and Grand Duke Ludmillen (Oberon's nephew who declined the throne, which led to Arcadia's coronation).
