The Hyperion Syndicate sees the Shattered Isles not as a home to be protected or a territory to be tamed, but as a market to be exploited. Led by the shrewd and opportunistic Tiefling, Lady Vexis, this faction is driven by a single-minded pursuit of profit and power. Their philosophy is that the chaotic energies and untapped resources of the Isles are an opportunity for immense wealth, and they will stop at nothing to acquire it. The Syndicate's members, comprised of mercenaries, merchants, and spies, operate with a cold pragmatism. They fund dangerous expeditions, manipulate rivals, and see every problem as a chance to turn a profit. To them, the land is just a commodity, and their success is measured not in glory or civic progress, but in the accumulation of gold and influence.
