As the citizens of the Dominion of Rubrum, we fall under the rule of the Vermilion Bird, which in return grants us the power of magic. The Milites Empire has been bestowed the power of magitek technology, while The Kingdom of Concordia holds the secret art of communicating with mighty dragons. Lastly, the Lorican Alliance, whose Crystal is the source of extraordinary physical strength for those who fall under its care.
