The Thirteen Sects
There are thirteen known sects of Reizonnesh. Some formed as tribes, others as religious groups prasing the gods Etoviey and Uhzara, a few even ventured out of the Demon realm, into others; mainly the Earth realm. The clans of Reizonnesh that took on more noticble roles were the Ceith, En'ato, Hellraisers, Oiruxth, Szheq, Veruth. Those who took on more theological faces were the Crosv historians, and the warrior priests ReiZO, and Seresti. The more vicious Reizonnesh, those that kill other of their ilk were the brother and sister tribes Uskasia and Rakynia, the Essrilingves, and those who go without name.
1. ReiZO
The ReiZO known in the Earthrealm weren't the ReiZO that began in the Demonrealm. The first ReiZO were the warrior priests, the historians of all Reizonnesh, much like the Crosv. They were the sibling tribe of not just the Seresti, but also the chaotic but cowardly Hellraisers, and the treacherous Essrilingves. Who overthrew the original ReiZO is unknown in truth, though it is said that either the Hellraisers, or those who go without name usurped them. Only Jhulin and Zhana no this in truth; which died with them over four millenia ago. They were the first of the 'new' ReiZO, the ReiZO headed by Ichiro, the ReiZO that crossed into the Earthrealm on the second voyage. These ReiZO adopted teachings from many other sects, tribes, and clans or Reizonnesh as well as fighting forms, weapon styles, and EZO techniques. They are the self-proclaimed royal family of all Reizonnesh as well as the only known group of the race to cross into the Earthrealm. Getting back into the Demonrealm however, is what they are not capable of as often as they'd like; opening a portal from known to unknown proved easier than the converse.
