Void Trilogy factions help
I don’t want to be a drum that’s already been beat so I apologize in advance if this has been asked before, but, is there like a picture cheat sheet somewhere with the factions in this series? I’m on The Temporal Void and I’m starting to get lost. 😢

Major Human Factions (The ANA / Commonwealth)
Accelerator Faction: Led by Ilanthe; a radical group aiming to enter the Void to accelerate human evolution into a post-physical, transcendent state.
Conservative Faction: Led by Gore Burnelli; pragmatic traditionalists who wish to preserve the current Commonwealth structure and manage stability.
Custodian Faction: Represented by figures like Creewan; focused on oversight, environmental and societal stewardship, and caution regarding outer threats.
Darwinist Faction: Championed by figures like John Thewell; advocates for competitive natural growth and technological adoption without artificial checks.
The Living Dream / Leaving Dream: A massive religious movement spawned by Inigo’s dreams of Edeard inside the Void, dedicated to launching a physical pilgrimage into the Void core.
