Bai Dai

Marauders

The Bai Dai were a genocidal group of Marauders. They have since been replaced by the Chaioth ha-Quadesh.

They were not really faction and were more a label for a particular type of Marauder.

They had no organization, and didn't seem to really be aware of each other or even work together by design. It seemed more a matter a blind luck that any of them were in one place at one time. Their turnover was astounding, as they went out in orgiastic blazes of suicidal glory far too quickly to ever really develop a structure. Divisions

• The Hemlock Court: The base of operations for the leader of the Bai Dai. The court resides in a huge mansion on the east valley wall of Shangri-La.
• The Fire of the Mahdi: Began as a North African anticolonial cabal in the last century. Today the Fire is highly active in all forms of mass terrorisms.
• The Maenads: Follow their historical namesakes in drunken murderous rampages across three continents. The members of this conflux - primarily "subservient" women from patriarchal societies - make their ways back home after each raid, amnesic and accepting of their lot...until the mood for murder strikes them again.
• P'o Chün: The "Broken Army Star," roams China seeking out officials of the People's Government. Though it originally took its name from Taoist astrology, the label is doubly appropriate: More than half the members have served in the military and some now wear their uniform hats with the star patch ripped apart.
• The Seven Bowls: A Christian extremist group that raids Progenitor bases and first-world military installations in search of plagues and chemicals to use against Sleepers.
• The Flowers of Camaxtli: A religious cult devoted to the Aztec god of war and fire. Followers don't survive very long, but the sect finds converts easily. Centered in Chichen Itza, the groups sucks in tourists and residents alike. These Marauders look as bizarre as they act.
