The Whispers are a group of organizations of workers, observers, and messengers for each of the visages[1]. A person whisper may work for multiple visages, but it is typically only on a temporary basis. Whispers are very secretive about their associates, either because of a fear of consequences or a Brand[1][2].

Recruitment

Whispers are recruited from the spires, typically during Judgments, and given promises of both powerful, rare attunements and the ability to help control what goes on in the spires. They are told that they will be allowed to leave the spire in 5 years (under a new identity) if they accept[3].

Duties

Tower Maintenance and Modification

Most whispers are not allowed to leave the spire. These whispers are in charge of maintaining and updating the spires[3].

Observation and Message Carrying

A small number of trusted whispers are allowed outside the spires. It is likely that all whispers allowed this freedom have a brand to prevent them from speaking of certain things[3].

Rebel Factions

Some whispers who have chosen to rebel against the visages, attempting to bring humanity under its own rule. These rebels are divided into three factions, who want to accomplish this in different ways[3]:

Godslayer

The Godslayer faction is the largest of the three factions. Their goal is to kill the visages, and remove anyone who plays a strong role in supporting them[3].

Peacemaker

The Peacemaker faction is focused on negotiation. Their goal is to get the visages to acknowledge their faults. They are not against fighting if necessary, but prefer to work with the visages[3].

Ascension

The Ascension faction is the smallest of the three. Their goal is to give every human enough power to stand against a visage[3].
