The Two of Swords

Summary
A number of 'the Craft' members work tirelessly across the three remnants of a dying empire to bring peace and prosperity to... anyone left.

"A soldier with a gift for archery. A woman who kills without care. Two brothers, both unbeatable generals, now fighting for opposing armies. No one in the vast and once glorious United Empire remains untouched by the rift between East and West, and the war has been fought for as long as anyone can remember. Some still survive who know how it was started, but no one knows how it will end. Except, perhaps, the Two of Swords."

Characters
This are my bestimates after reading the series a few times.

Placement on The Timeline
This is awkward because, though it feels post-AUC, 'Father' does declare: "In the name of the Five and the One I absolve you..." If this is during the AUC then the One here may be the Sun but then who are the Five?

If this is pre-AUC then the Five could be any cult.

As the 2Swords series is involved with the Cards then the One may be the deck itself and the 5 may be select Wild Cards? Perhaps?

So I think that this story is POST AUC.
