 Humanity bears the burden of being looked down upon by the longer lived races who oppress and use humanity for their own gains, contributing nothing of value to the world. Humans are the only creators of anything of value and are thus destined to one day shed the shackles of oppression and take their rightful place as rulers of this world.. Humanity must flex its collective muscles and spread its influence, cleansing these lands of the filth and taint of other races. Those who fall under the sway of these creatures must be trod under the steel boots of our righteous cause. Only when the world is cleansed of the filth of these 'others' can humanity finally know freedom, peace and prosperity. Humanity bears the burden of being looked down upon by the longer lived races who oppress and use humanity for their own gains, contributing nothing of value to the world.

-The people of Tonovi largely despise deities, seeing them not as a force of creation, but a parasite upon that creation. The gods, with all of their designs upon the world, were not chosen by the will of the people and thus must, do not represent the best interest of the people, instead seeking to control behavior and belief. Unity, however, was created by the people, for the people, and thus carries with it the very will and purpose of the people in divine form. It is thus that Unity is the only deity worthy of worship by humanity, a cherished entity wrought by a noble collective desire for something greater.+The people of Tonovi largely despise deities, seeing them not as a force of creation, but a parasite upon that creation.

 + 
 +  * __Advocacy of Unity:__ The official clergy, as it were, of the faith. Referred to as Advocates, these individuals carry the greatest pride and utter zealous devotion to the cause, brooking no tolerance for anything strange, inhuman or alien. They actively preach wherever they go, spreading the good word of UNITY to the huddled masses of humanity. Possessing utter disdain for all things inhuman, they barely show other races any respect, most outright refusing to converse with them as intelligent beings with any sort of innate value. To be an Advocate is to be a person seen by the Party as a revered hero of the cause and a stalwart example to others. 
 + 
 +  * __The Steel Legion:__ The elite arm of the Tonovian military, the Steel Legion is made of the very best soldiers with the very best equipment that the city can provide. Although the name suggests that it consists of martial types only, the Steel Legion actually makes heavy use of Eldritch Knights, pure martial types and a variety of other arcane casters. They are a highly mobile force that makes heavy use of teleportation magics to act as a sort of shock element of the military, appearing anywhere at any time. The steel legion is notable for their unpolished, dull steel armor, showing their preference for function over form. 
 + 
 +  * __Curseborn:__ Called the Curseborn because they were born with the curse of inhuman blood. Composed entirely of half-humans who have publicly renounced their unclean blood and enter battle to redeem their disgusting nature in the eyes of UNITY. They are berserkers, wearing no armor or protection of any kind. They either cover or cut off all vestiges of their inhuman nature and most of them bear horrific mutilation and scars. Perhaps the most zealous of all followers, these poor wretches give every ounce of their energy to make up for the sin of existing. Although they are abhorrent in their inhumanity, it is said that they are an inspiration on the field of battle, their depthless faith almost making up for their disgusting nature.
