Colors

Story so far

Seeing Yorkton reveals to Darrow the whole span of the Colors, a spectrum far vaster than Lykos knew. Atop sit the ruling Golds; beneath them the giant Obsidians and the twelve Olympic Knights serve as war-elite, the Grays police the cities, the Whites arbitrate justice and philosophy, Pinks pleasure and serve in highColor homes, Silvers count and move currency and logistics, Yellows study medicine and science, Greens build technology, Blues navigate the stars, Coppers run the bureaucracy, Violets like Mickey create as artists and Carvers, Browns labor as menials, Oranges as technicians, and at the very bottom the Reds dig. Even the Reds are split — highReds live paid, dependent, half-free in the cities, while lowReds toil enslaved below.

Every Color, Dancer says, exists to prop up the Golds; violence is their sport, manipulation their art.

Appearance

Each Color distinguished by hair, eyes, and a distinct skin-Sigil; a full spectrum from ruling Gold and giant Obsidian down through the service and labor Colors to the digging Reds.

Role

The complete caste framework organizing all of the Society's humanity into ranked, purpose-bred Colors.
