The Society's Hierarchy

The Colors

Fourteen castes. One rigid hierarchy. A system designed to enslave humanity under the guise of order and progress.

In the Society, your Color determines everything—your profession, your worth, your very humanity. From the god-like Golds who rule to the Reds who toil in darkness, every soul is sorted, categorized, and controlled.
