Doctor and Melkur face off in the Sanctum

The People of Traken are instrumentalized by Melkur through coerced mobilization and by Tremas through loyalty to traditional authority, becoming unwitting pawns in the struggle for control over the Source.

Active Representation

Through Melkur’s coercive decrees and Tremas’ reluctant compliance, leveraging the population’s numbers and social cohesion within Traken’s hierarchical society.
