Copper Jackals

The Copper Jackals (or C-Jacks) are an unsanctioned paramilitary organization operating primarily in the realm of Dragongrin. Bound under a sacred oath called the Copper Vow, the Jackals swear to operate justly and without compromise. Using a loose hierarchy, the Copper Jackals exist in various groups called chapters, dispersed across the regions of Dragongrin. The founding chapter – the Prime Jackals – still acts as the governing body to all other chapters, maintaining overall order within the chapter hierarchy. Not only do they supply chapters with Titan Copper for new recruits, but they also investigate and enforce the consequences of any severe violation of the Copper Vow, utilizing the Besieged, their special enforcers. Granted powers beyond that of even the most powerful adventurer, the Copper Jackals are imbued with a mystical metal called Titan Copper. This metal grants them special abilities which allow them to withstand even the most deadly of challenges. 

The Jackal Bite is the mark that each Copper Jackal is imbued with upon completing the Copper Vow. It is formed using the same piece of Titan Copper you’ve possessed since your recruitment: first as a chunk of raw ore, then as a coin, and now as the brand that will mark you as a Copper Jackal forever. When a Jackal Bite is given, the Titan Copper is fused to your anatomy, becoming a living part of you, virtually impossible to separate – growing with you and enhancing your abilities.

Aside from acting as an insignia branding you as a Copper Jackal, the Jackal Bite is the source of a Copper Jackal’s preternatural abilities, known as Copper Boons. Copper Boons are exceptional and exemplary feats of near impossible agility and strength, oftentimes allowing the wielder to escape certain death. Copper Boons develop naturally as the Titan Copper of a Jackal Bite bonds with the bearer.

Every Copper Jackals chapter has its own distinct initiation ritual, designed to be the final crucible to test your resolve. Initiation rituals represent something unique and meaningful to the chapter, encompassing the style and soul of what it means to be a member. The Rustborn are a group of Copper Jackals that deserted and murdered fellow Jackals. They continue to threaten the Jackals to this day. The Dog Downers are a specialized band of mercenaries and bounty hunters who excel at hunting, neutralizing, and killing Copper Jackals. They’re paid handsomely for every Jackal Bite removed.
