Colors/Hero Summoning Systems

When they visit Elseworlds Founders install a system of ranked summoning. While this ranked system differs from family to family, they typically have at least 3 ranks that fit roughly into the archetypes of Civilian, Knight, and Nobility- which one cannot travel between. Metrianda differs, operating on a 2 rank system (Civilians and Knights only) which anyone can travel between freely- any civilian could become a knight (hero) and any knight could become a civilian at any time. Typically Families operating summoning systems assign each individual in a grouping of knights a particular object, concept, name, title, or other such thing- and each member is given an object or spell to tie their ranking to- in Metrianda’s case they use colors/gems and keys. Additionally, Metrianda differs from other elseworlds in 2 key places: Metriandan knights do not have internal ranks (no knight position is innately higher than another without it being a position they are elected or placed into by an individual rather than a city: i.e. the Amethyst knights are not typically higher ranking than the Garnet knights) and Metrianda does not have a singular world-wide system they follow. Each location is free to create and shift between their own chosen color systems based on their needs- even further individual cities can change count and color regardless of what the typical system used by their larger faction dictates. For example, The Moon uses the LSS system for all cities, save for its two levels which use the RSVC- The Underglass uses the UMS, save for specific factions and cities which use a variety of modified versions. In all, Metriandan summoning is far less restrictive and far more modifiable.

Overglass or Republican System of Vibrant Colors (RSVC) Used by the Republic of Metrianda, modified version used by The Moon for Personal and Leveled heroes.

Robasan Modified Chromatic System (RMCS) Used by the City-State of Robasa exclusively, combines RSVC and LSS.

Underglassian Metallic System (UMS) Used across The Underglass, often modified to fit individual nations' needs.

Solar System of Metals and Gems (SSMG) Used exclusively across The Sun, not typically modified.

Lunar Subtle System (LSS) Used for cities on The Moon, a modified version is added to the RSVC for Robasa.

Tonal Glass System (TGS) Exclusively used across Kingdoms on The Glass.

Matan Spectral System (MSS) Used exclusively by GIVE, TAKE, and specialized Subglassian forces. Not seen at all on The Surface.

Below is a graph that shows the most commonly used of the systems and their acronym.
