Golden Troupe (Faction)
Last updated 2025-01-07
The Golden Troupe was a faction led by Boethius that existed some time after the fall of Remuria.
Story
After Remuria's initial fall, Boethius mustered remnants of Remuria to establish the Golden Troupe in an attempt to save Remuria and Phobos.[1] The troupe would gather in the Faded Castle to study the spirit and fate. They built musical devices similar to those from the golden age of Remuria.[2] The troupe's goal was to save Phobos so that it could unite all of the world and bring world peace through the power of music and the "Grand Symphony".[3][4]
The Golden Troupe was referred to by various names. They studied "magical" techniques to preserve lives and bodies to survive the Prophecy of Fontaine, such as transplanting the consciousness inside stone golems with golden ichor and creating seals such as the "Seal of the Chymical Marriage". For example, Este from the time of Remuria has lived through the ages as a golem. Later, the Narzissenkreuz Institute would learn from the Golden Troupe's techniques. For example, the method by which Jakob was able to preserve his body throughout the ages was related to the techniques of the Golden Troupe.[5] In addition to the above methods, the Golden Troupe also practiced child sacrifice.[1]
The original purpose of the Marechaussee Hunters established by Cassiodor was to combat the Golden Troupe, its magic, and their enslaved Golems.[6] In later history, Cassiodor would aid Ruggiero in sealing the Faded Castle beneath the rebuilt Petrichor. They established Petrichor's ruling Consilium Sapientum and distributed false narratives about the Faded Castle to hide its secrets forever.[7]
The remnants and archaeology of the Golden Troupe are left in the town of Petrichor and the surrounding waters of the Nostoi Region and Sea of Bygone Eras. The great master Ruggiero was one scholar who traveled to Petrichor to study the history of the Golden Troupe. Ruggiero noted that the ancient arcane arts of the troupe seem to have originated from before Remuria, during a time when the gods of the pre-Remurian era used symphonies (such as the Fortuna) to rule Fontaine. The Golden Troupe of Remuria used music to record things including magic. Moreover, Ruggiero noted that conches were used by the troupe to convey information.[8]
Rene would discover the remnants and golem statues of the Golden Troupe in Petrichor.[9][10] Later the Narzissenkreuz Ordo founded by Rene and Jakob would attempt to use the magic they learned from the Golden Troupe to merge all the people's consciousnesses into one transcendental being to survive the prophecy.[11]
