Bravos
The world is filled with challenges and dangers. To cope and survive in this world, humanity must push itself beyond its limits and become more resilient. This philosophy is the basis for the Bravos belief system and the source of their strength. Driven by a singular desire for freedom and continuous self-improvement, the Bravos tackle challenges head-on and strive to make their mark on history. They want to show everyone that motivation is all that's needed to move forward, and that humanity still has plenty more to offer.
"The world is adversity to overcome."
Heroic champions
If the Bravos had to choose one word to define them, it would probably be freedom: the freedom to be who they are and to go where they like. But venturing into the unknown means facing many dangers. While the bold ambition of the Bravos often means a life of peril, it also means one of glory and prestige. They strive to live a purposeful life with no regrets. For these individualists, whether they are explorers, champions or conquerors, nothing is more exhilarating than constant self-improvement and challenging the status quo by their very existence.
No matter what they put their minds to, the members of this Faction want to leave their mark on history and create a tangible difference by excelling in their chosen field. Through this endless quest for individual perfection, they are well aware that they are dragging the whole world along with them: Every feat can be topped, every accomplishment is an invitation to be bested. They firmly believe that by breaking rules and shattering dogma, humanity can transcend itself – and that it's only through personal growth that humanity can face the Tumult and ultimately conquer it.
Haven
Located a few miles outside the capital of Asgartha, Haven is a base for all Bravos and the closest to what they would call a home. The Bravos Bastion was built into an alabaster cliff soaring above the turquoise waters of the fjords. When the sun casts its rays onto the Bastion, its walls glow to reveal long gilded frescoes recounting the feats of illustrious Bravos heroes. Haven's interior is a vast maze of corridors and rooms carved into the rock, which are also etched with thousands of inspirational scenes. You will commonly find the Bravos sweating blood and tears there, training hard while waiting to set out, clinking glasses in front of a fireplace, recounting their adventures and exploits, and paying homage to their fallen or missing comrades. It's also where they unwind between expeditions, regaining their strength and chatting with the Lyra who share this urban lodging with them.
