The Ministry of Rest
The government branch in charge of the nightly creation of the Dream, the monitoring of all Weaver activity in the city, and the training and licensing of new Weaver's. Children found to be Weavers are taken from their friends and family to be trained as loyal members of the Ministry. An exception is only made for those able to find a sponsor and pay the substantial fees. Through the Dream, the Ministry spreads pro-government propaganda.

The Vanguard
The police force of Sayrem, colloquially referred to as "Jacks."

The Red Dogs
A street gang operating in Five Irons. Their base is an active cannery within the district.

Keepers of the Veil
The main church of Sayrem. They believe the Ozar to be a threat, with a few exceptions. What remains of the Veil must therefore stay to protect the world from them.

The Quiet Echoes
A secret society interested in gathering knowledge about the Ozar. They are situated on the highest floor of an old library. Their rooms are separated from the public space by a large wooden door marked with their symbol, a mouth with finger on it in a shushing motion.

They are highly interested in samples of Ozar, stating they already have "quite the collection" and view the Professor as a friend, who seems to occasionally supply them with such samples.

The House of Broken Glass
A fanatic cult that believes the world, as it had existed a hundred years ago, should have ended with the shatter. Thus, the Veil needs to be broken completely and all the Ozar released into the world to finish this process.

The Sleepers
The organization that runs the tracks. They are officially contracted and licensed by the government to run trains in and out of the city into the Edgelands to transport supplies. Controlling one of only three regular ways to import goods—the others being the road and the port—, the Sleepers are vital to Sayrem's infrastructure. They also frequently deal in less “official” transports.

Sleepers get rest between shifts. As Erion explains to Vee:"You work a full shift and full shifts are train all the way out, train all the way back; there is not exactly a lot of R&R in-between."and"It's a life: it's exciting some times, it's dangerous a lot of the time."

The Anointed
This organization is introduced when Pretty Baby notices their symbol carved into a bench: a small lit oil lamp.
