[font=comic sans ms]Kingdom Of Tolrania[/font]
Troop Overview: These troops are well balanced, with good
infantry and deadly bowman. The Tolranians have only one mounted
troop thus relying on their High-Tier class for Calvary.
Lore:
[spoiler]
The Tolranians escaped from the tyranny of the Old Hakkon Empire
years ago. They remained haunted by their experiences in Hakkon,
but the leaders are determined to start a new life in Perisno.
From the journal of Captain Otto Waveshore:
Day 1:
We have fled from Hakkon, deciding that enough is enough. We
will start a new life somewhere else, in a place far from
Hakkon. Far enough for them to never be able to find us. We have
begun to set sail, a motley bunch of men leaving on stolen
ships, given to us by our good friend Admiral Themistocles. He
will be punished for what he has done, but he knew the risks, as
we all did. As I look upon the endless sea, I fear that most of
us will not live to see the mainland.
Day Unknown:
I have lost track of how many days we have been at sea. It feels
like forever since Day 1. Half of our ships have sunk, either to
marauding pirates or to large sea monsters or to large storms
in the ocean. Every day, our crew pray to Priapus, our God of
Sailers.
Day Unknown:
It is unbelievable. We have caught sight of the mainland at
last! Our men are settling down in this new, lush land, which we
name the land of Perisno. We have not met any natives and no
sign of life is seen at all! I worry that our generations will
not live on. My health is failing, and I think this will be my
last entry.
- Captain Otto Waveshore
Tolrania was founded in the year 323. They are a Republic,
vowing that they would be different from the Hakkon Empire. They
prospered for seven years in this new land, free of the tyranny
of Hakkon and King Comrey. They made trade with the Maccavians
and thrived. The population quadrupled in those years, and soon
Tolrania expanded. In year 330, something unexpected happened:
the Hakkons followed the into Perisno.
At first, there was shock from the Tolranians, then there was
anger. The, there was despair as the Tolranians found out how
big the Hakkon fleet was.
Apparently, these were knights and nobles also dissatisfied with
King Comrey, and had set out to a new world. Almost every
Tolranian there were second generation, and few of the first
generation were still alive. However, their fathers told them of
the horrors in Hakkon.
They decided to turn to the local Redwood Elves for help. The
Elven Archers were a mercenary company, and they were hired by
Tolrania to do battle against Hakkon. In a famous battle, the
Tolranians routed the Hakkon army.
Hakkon was not defeated, but they needed time to rebuild their
armies. The people of Tolrania rejoiced after this, and they
continued to thrive.
Near the woods of Tolrania, an outlaw group began to form. The
outlaws called the Tolranian government corrupt and disorderly.
They said that the name "Republic" itself was hypocritical. The
government ruled like a kingdom, and the other factions
acknowledged this. Tolrania was given the name of The Kingdom of
Tolrania by other factions, and soon it was only the Tolranians
who called themselves a Republic.
The outlaws, led by an enigmatic man named Nibor (Robin
backwards) Hood, became a large organization that were
constantly a thorn to the Tolranian's side.
Tolranian Government and Info:
Tolrania is ruled by a King, after abandoning the idea of a
republic. They have a strong military, and their Kingsmen are
the envy of the world. Their military is diverse, with horse
archers, foot archers, and infantry. Most of their military are
peasants recruited from villages. They rely on their top tier
noble troops for heavy cavalry. Outlaws roam the forests of
Tolrania, and their lords are usually too lazy to stop them. It
is up to you to either unite Tolrania or to destroy
it.[/spoiler]

[font=comic sans ms][glow=red,2,300]Hakkon Empire[/glow][/font]
Lore:
[spoiler][glow=red,2,300]The people of Hakkon originated from an
island far from Perisno. In the year -542BE (Before the
Enlightment), tribesmen and sailors rowed from their mainland to
the island of Hakkon. From then, the road began to pave for a
mighty empire, the Hakkon Empire. In a few centuries, the
Hakkons rose from a small island nation to a superpower in their
world. They revolutionized sailing technology, and rumor had it
that their navy was so great and had such survivability that
they could sail the entire world and not one would sink. Hakkon
quickly dominated other small island tribes around them, and set
about colonizing the mainland. Many of their efforts failed, and
around the year 315, Hakkon was on the verge of collapse.
Pestilence, corruption and war had taken its toll on the once
great Hakkon Empire.
In the year 322, King Comrey II was crowned King of Hakkon.
He was a lazy, indolent man who cared for nothing but food,
wine, and women. He was nothing like his father, King Comrey I,
who was a great man and helped rebuild much of Hakkon after its
economic downfall. King Comrey II held lavish feasts in his
palace almost daily, and the only times he didn't hold them were
the times he was too drunk to do anything. Throughout the
kingdom, the people murmured and voiced their disgust of their
new creature of a King. In the year 323, six months after
Comrey II was crowned, the people had had enough. Admiral
Themistocles, a powerful and wealthy man arranged the escape of
four ships that would sail into a new land to settle. He himself
was a seasoned veteran of many battles, but chose to stay even
though his people begged him to go. He vowed he would continue
helping the people against their new tyrant. In the year 323,
the men were ready to sail, and all of them left with high hopes
of a new life in a new world.
By the year 329, King Comrey II was still on the throne, but
he was so fat and lazy by now that his ministers had taken over
ruling the kingdom for him until a more suitable heir could be
selected. The Hakkon Empire continued to crumble, and many of
their nobles were anxious to leave. A large fleet of Hakkon
nobles and soldiers left the island and went in the footsteps of
the Tolranians in search of a new world. By the year 330, they
had arrived in Perisno and immediately began colonizing it. They
called themselves the Hakkon Empire, and called the one they had
come from the Old Hakkon Empire.
For many years, the Hakkon Empire grew in size and
prosperity. They frequently fought with the Tolranians, and even
though they lost many battles, they were powerful and could
rebuild quickly and efficiently.
Hakkon Government:
The Hakkon Empire is a monarchy, and their current king is King
Hakkon II "The Great," named after the Hakkons of old. They are
an efficient government, having access to many trade routes and
natural resources. Their military is solid all around, and
fields a variety of units. They have heavy cavalry, heavy
infantry, spearmen, and crossbowmen.
In the year 350, trouble arouse after King Hakkon IV's death.
He left no successor, and now Hakkon nobles were fighting each
other in a heated civil war. The rest of the world only watched
the conflict, no one making a move to interfere. The two sides
were the Hammeriron family and the Hakkon family. Ultimately,
the Hakkon family won after many bloody battles, and King Hakkon
III was crowned. However, the Hammeriron leader, Mjolnir, is
still alive and looking for revenge. Trouble once again came to
the Hakkons in the year 355. New raiders, called the Volheere
raiders, migrated to Perisno near Hakkon lands and began to loot
and kill anyone in their way. By the year 362, they became a
very large threat. The Hakkons still have not managed to deal
with them yet.
In the year 363, a mysterious group called the Reich des
Drache sailed to Perisno. Now, it is up to you to decide the
fate of the Hakkon Empire. Will you help them become strong, or
will you cause them to fall? Will you help the Hammeriron family
to become the true Hakkon rulers? The choice is up to you.

[font=comic sans ms]Drahara[/font]
Drahara was founded in 359, uniting the desert tribes of Perisno
into one nation.
Troop Overview:
Royal Guards: A pure and simple Cavalry, (However that is their
strength,) heavy enough to withstand a spear line but light
enough to chase down cavalry. The Desert Assassins: Shock
infantry that could do extreme damage to the enemy but need to
be supplemented with cavalry and/or archers. Storm Archers:
Heavy enough to survive in the melee, these guys should hold
their fire until the enemy gets within a certain range then
pound them with volley fire. You should send the RG to take care
of enemy cavalry and range units while the archers pound their
infantry. Whilst their distraction causes the Desert Assassins
to get a clear path into their lines.
Lore:
[spoiler]The Draharans have always been in Perisno, and are a
loosely united confederation of desert tribes. They have never
really cared about the western world, which they call the
"Ghareeb." They are a reclusive nation, staying in their
deserts, never daring to venture more than a few miles into the
lands without desert. They are a hardy people, able to live in
that harshest environments. Most tribes are nomadic, but some of
the bigger tribes have settled in cities near water and
resources. The Draharans are also religious, believing in
spirits and gods. Throughout the Draharan desert, ancient
shrines and majestic temples can be found dedicated to their
gods. Drahara is a term used for an entire ethnic group of
people, and many tribesmen find it offensive to be called
Draharan instead of their respective clan or tribe name. It has
been like that for hundreds of years, but around the year 354,
everything changed.
A man with no name walked into the capital city of the
largest Draharan tribe, and proclaimed himself a man sent by the
gods. He could work wonders and perform miracles, and soon many
people followed him. He said that he dreamed of a day when the
Draharans ruled Perisno, when all the unworthy Ghareebians of
the West bowed under their rule. He was so mesmerizing and his
voice so powerful that everyone who heard him believed him and
pledged their allegiance to him. Soon, after five years, all the
Draharan tribes had united under this man, and their armies were
ready to march. First, he immediately used the military to wipe
out every single bandit party in the desert that they could
find. Every desert rat and vulture that robbed other men were
found and executed under this man's order. Drahara soon became
free of such men, but it is rumored they are still hiding in
reclusive corners, waiting for revenge. This unnamed man
continued to assert his dominance, and trained an elite guard of
camel riders for himself. He had the tribe of elephant riders
pledge their allegiance to him as well, and also the infamous
Desert Assassins. By the year 365, the Draharans were ready to
march for war.
Draharan government, military, and claimant:
Under their new mysterious ruler, Drahara became a
confederation. Every lord had his personal army but all fought
for one cause: the conquest of the west. However, there were a
few people that doubted this mysterious new man, and openly
proclaimed it. The strongest man against this new ruler was
named Baibars. He voiced his protests against this new ruler of
Drahara, saying that he had no right to rule. He was cast out
and shunned, but remains alive, waiting for someone to help him.
He now goes from kingdom to kingdom, trying to find support.
The Draharan military is simple: they have archers, spearmen,
and cavalry. They do not wear very heavy armor, however, because
of the hotness of the desert. The Draharans have a simple
military all around, but many of their lords have household
troops that belong to their own clan.
It is the year 365, and things are not looking well for the
west. Will you stand with Drahara and conquer the other
factions, or will you oppose them and crush them instead? Or
will you help their claimant? The choice is up to you.[/spoiler]

[font=comic sans ms]Maccavia[/font]
Troop Overview:
Maccavian army is split in division, the sword division is the
one the swordsmen and swordmaster are based on, swordsmen use
Throwable knives and longswords, Swordsmaster use two-handed
swords and throwable knives and have more skills and better
armor while swordsmen still have a good armor but have shields.
Crossbowmen/Marksmen division uses throwable axes and crossbows,
no bows nor longbows. Marksmen are elite crossbowmens and have
better armor as a status of their elite.
Spear Division uses throwable spears and use pikes, Halberdier
are elite spearmen, they use halberdiers obviously, and has
throwable spears and better armor, these elite armors have
Heraldic tabards that represents the Noble they serve.
Lore:
[spoiler]
Maccavia is a free cosmopolitan realm, governed by a Dictator
Monarch and a Senate of Nobles and free man, Maccavia is a
faction of nobles, knights, religious people, diplomats and rich
merchants, Maccavia was once a kingdom of northmen, sailors,
pirates, but at a turn of fate, they settled in the winterlands,
they conquered and they have prospered for many years, every men
were the lord of their destiny, free to rule their life as they
would like, as long they the paid taxes, lived orderly and
obeyed the laws of the republic, and worked towards progress,
Maccavia is split religiously;
The New Gods value; chivalry, love, duty, benevolence, family,
order, grace and kindess.
The Old Gods value; war, honor, strength, ambition, domination,
secrets and plots.
Many of the Maccavian Republic Nobles are followers of the
faiths and Gods, many of the Old Gods are warmongering nobles,
bent on raiding, conquering and fighting and demanding strenght
from their allies, loyal they are loyal hounds of the Maccavian
Republic Dictator, and on the otherside are the Noble Knights,
followers of the new faith and Gods, they prefer to prosper and
grow rich, showing kindness and grace, most nobles have it a
strong disregard for followers of a different faith, specially
the Maccavian Nobles that follow that Old Gods, they see them as
savages in opulent clothing, while the nobles of the old Gods
see the Nobles of the new Gods as "just weaklings", and that
brawl has been destroying the Republic, both evil and good mixed
in a common goal.
The Maccavian Army is yet one of best armored and armed in
Perisno, with curious concraptions, heavy weapon training, every
citizen of the Maccavian republic is taught how to use weapons,
how to ride a horse, how to read, how to create tactics, their
martial training is yet without equal, many of the Maccavian
Soldiers are followers of the Old Gods, but not many of them
rise through military ranks, because most of them die in battle,
while followers of the New Gods seem to rise quickly but not as
strong as a Old Gods Follower.
Maccavian Army is split in division of specialties, those who
show a promising skill in a certain field of technique goes to
that respective division, those who show aptitude and
perception, go to the Crossbow Division, while those who show
strength go to the Sword Division or the Spear Division and the
Knight Division. And all Maccavian military are trained in the
use of Heavy armor.
Marskmen of the Crossbow Division; Maccavian Crossbowman knows
how to throw an axe and are very skilled at range, they have the
iconic axe-crossbow (Normal variant), that not only shoots bolts
with absurd accurancy, pierces through heavy armor like butter,
yet it works a heavy melee weapon that can be used to break
shields, heads or horses. With enough training and skill, but
are weak when facing close-combat encounters, they can survive a
melee fight, but their specialty is ranged combat.
Maccavian Crossbowman can become TOP TIER: Maccavian Marksmen
which is yet the best trained crossbows in Perisno, they carry
the axe-crossbow (siege variant) and thrownable axes, and they
have a better armor, thus making them better at melee.
Swordsmen of the Sword Division; Maccavian Swordsman are skilled
dagger throwers and great at close-combat, they can slice
through any unarmored enemies with ease, they have a round
shield for quick movements in battle and their Longsword, but
are terrible weak when combating horsemen, but you're better not
fall of the horse.
Maccavian Swordsmen with enough training and skill can become
TOP TIER: Maccavian Swordsmasters who carry a terrible greatword
that can slice elephant, camels and people, yet they carry their
longswords and throwable daggers for range/close combat.
Spearmen of Spear Division: Maccavian Spearmen are exeptional at
throwing spears and tactically adaptable, nor horse or camel can
charge through the Maccavian Phalanx, ranged enemy infantry is
killed easily as well infantry, they carry a pike, a shortsword
and throwable spears, no shields, for quicky positioning and
defence, but that makes them heavily at disvantage when fighting
long-ranged enemies and if they do not brace their spears for
combat mounted infantry, they're a easily pickings, but do not
understimate them, they can still throw spears and use their
shortswords.
Maccavian Spearmen can become TOP-TIER Maccavian Halberdier,
that carries a Halberdier that can kill anything that is mounted
easily, they still carry thrownable spears, and the shortsword,
they have a much better armor that can protect them from ranged
attacks.
All Maccavian TOP TIER units use heraldic heavy plate armors,
while the normal tier uses non-heraldic heavy plate armor.
And last, there is the Knights of the Maccavian Republic,
mini-nobles, with lands and titles.
Maccavian Squires are sons of nobles, they are trained since
childhood in all division martial arts, they are very educated
and devout followers of the Faiths and Gods. And so the result
are very expensive units, with very good training they can
become Maccavian Knights.
As Maccavia is split religiously, it would be a shame to just
create one branch of Knights, so, I'm expanding it.
Maccavian Squires of the Old Gods can become Maccavian Black
Knights, while Maccavian Squires of the New Gods can become
Maccavian Knights of Steel.
Knights of steel are very valorous and powerful units, they use
Greatswords as backup, longsword, shield and a Lance, a
Maccavian bred armored white stallion as mount. Steel Heavy
Plate Armor.
Black Knights are very strong and powerful units, not only they
use a Greataxe as backup but they carry the Axe-crossbow (Normal
variant), and a Longsword, a Maccavian bred armored Black
Stallion as mount.
Now we go to Politics in the Maccavian Republic: King Agathor
Krex is the dictator of Republic, while he desires to have full
control of the Republic backed by his loyal hound followers of
the old Gods, the new Gods followers seem to dislike him and try
to sabote every attempt he makes, but none openly challenge his
rule, but most would certainly follow a New God claimant.
Naming:
in that case I choose the roleplaying strenght of it;
Followers of the Old Gods often choose Nordic names such as:
Noble Fenris Stone-Heart, Noble Singvar the Gilded, Noble
Segrefied Broken-Shield.
Followers of the New Gods choose more empire/fantasy minded
names such as: Noble Falcus Frost, Noble Dracchos Dignity, Noble
Tytus Rex, Noble Benunius Benevolent.[/spoiler]

[font=comic sans ms]Reich des Drache[/font]
The Newest faction to Perisno, and also the one that is least
known about.
Heavy Calvary and lancers, possibly the best cavalry in Perisno
Lore:
[spoiler]The Reich des Drache came from a land far away from
Perisno. It is said that real dragons lived in their homeland,
or used to. Their homeland was called the Isle of the Dragon,
and reportedly it was a vast continent, where many strange and
exotic creatures lived. The Reich are a very mysterious group,
and almost nothing at all other than where they came from is
known about them. They arrived at Perisno in the year 363, and
it was clear tha[shadow=red,lef[/shadow]t their intentions was
not to trade, but to conquer. They brought a huge armada with
them, deploying thousands of soldiers into Perisnoan soil. They
quickly colonized some native cities and changed them into
large, industrial metropolises. They also built fortresses and
fortifications of tremendous size in what was soon "their
territory" and soldiers patrolled the borders regularly. All the
other factions were wary of this new threat, and were afraid to
act. They had heard reports from their spies that real dragons
accompanied the Reich, although this fact is still disputed, for
the Reich have yet to reveal them. The Dragon Priests of the
Reich spread across Perisno, preaching their faith to all. It is
said that the leader of the Dragon Priests wants to be king,
although he needs more men to help him.
Draches Military, Government, and Claimant:
The Reich have a strong military, composed of infantry,
spearmen, and heavy cavalry. It is rumored that their noble
troops ride real dragons. They are a disciplined force that will
not run, under any circumstances. The government is a monarchy,
and their mysterious emperor rules through divine right. He says
that the dragon gods have proclaimed him king, and it is his
right to rule the world under the gods. His right hand men is
the mysterious High Priest of the Dragon. It is rumored that the
High Priest is plotting to overthrow the emperor who he thinks
is unworthy. He is looking for a capable mercenary or adventurer
to help him.[/spoiler]

Volheere Raiders Faction Lore
[spoiler]Minor Faction Volheere Raiders Lore:
The Volheere raiders came from the continent of Nisaynia, which
is near Perisno. They are a hard people, having to live through
the harsh winter climates of their continent. Somehow, they
survive through it yearly, but the past decade has been
particularly rough to them. They believe that their god, Woden,
has forsaken them and they are no longer worthy people. They
decided that they are not "holy" enough to live on the land of
Nisaynia, where their gods roam. The entire Volheere people
sailed away, and happened to come to Perisno. They landed on the
coasts [someone really needs to draw a Perisno map for reference
once it is done :D ] and sacked everything they could find.
Since then, they have established themselves as a minor power in
Perisno. Their berserkers are a feared group, and the leader,
Úlfhéðnar, is a formidable man. It will take a strong hero to
defeat the Volheere raiders and wipe them off the face of the
earth. [/spoiler]

[font=times new roman]Just a quickly reminder, I'm proposing the
design of the Maccavian Republic, if anyone has interest in
naming a vassal, or a village/town follow the lore, create your
vassal, and we'll make him ALIVE.
[/font]
Here's the lore:
Maccavia is a free cosmopolitan realm, governed by a Dictator
Monarch and a Senate of Nobles and free man, Maccavia is a
faction of nobles, knights, religious people, diplomats and rich
merchants, Maccavia was once a kingdom of northmen, sailors,
pirates, but at a turn of fate, they settled in the winterlands,
they conquered and they have prospered for many years, every men
were the lord of their destiny, free to rule their life as they
would like, as long they the paid taxes, lived orderly and
obeyed the laws of the republic, and worked towards progress,
Maccavia is split religiously;
The New Gods value; chivalry, love, duty, benevolence, family,
order, grace and kindess.
The Old Gods value; war, honor, strength, ambition, domination,
secrets and plots.
Many of the Maccavian Republic Nobles are followers of the
faiths and Gods, many of the Old Gods are warmongering nobles,
bent on raiding, conquering and fighting and demanding strenght
from their allies, loyal they are loyal hounds of the Maccavian
Republic Dictator, and on the otherside are the Noble Knights,
followers of the new faith and Gods, they prefer to prosper and
grow rich, showing kindness and grace, most nobles have it a
strong disregard for followers of a different faith, specially
the Maccavian Nobles that follow that Old Gods, they see them as
savages in opulent clothing, while the nobles of the old Gods
see the Nobles of the new Gods as "just weaklings", and that
brawl has been destroying the Republic, both evil and good mixed
in a common goal.
The Maccavian Army is yet one of best armored and armed in
Perisno, with curious concraptions, heavy weapon training, every
citizen of the Maccavian republic is taught how to use weapons,
how to ride a horse, how to read, how to create tactics, their
martial training is yet without equal, many of the Maccavian
Soldiers are followers of the Old Gods, but not many of them
rise through military ranks, because most of them die in battle,
while followers of the New Gods seem to rise quickly but not as
strong as a Old Gods Follower.
Maccavian Army is split in division of specialties, those who
show a promising skill in a certain field of technique goes to
that respective division, those who show aptitude and
perception, go to the Crossbow Division, while those who show
strength go to the Sword Division or the Spear Division and the
Knight Division. And all Maccavian military are trained in the
use of Heavy armor.
Marskmen of the Crossbow Division; Maccavian Crossbowman knows
how to throw an axe and are very skilled at range, they have the
iconic axe-crossbow (Normal variant), that not only shoots bolts

are weak when facing close-combat encounters, they can survive a
melee fight, but their specialty is ranged combat.
Maccavian Crossbowman can become TOP TIER: Maccavian Marksmen
which is yet the best trained crossbows in Perisno, they carry
the axe-crossbow (siege variant) and thrownable axes, and they
have a better armor, thus making them better at melee.
Swordsmen of the Sword Division; Maccavian Swordsman are skilled
dagger throwers and great at close-combat, they can slice
through any unarmored enemies with ease, they have a round
shield for quick movements in battle and their Longsword, but
are terrible weak when combating horsemen, but you're better not
fall of the horse.
Maccavian Swordsmen with enough training and skill can become
TOP TIER: Maccavian Swordsmasters who carry a terrible greatword
that can slice elephant, camels and people, yet they carry their
longswords and throwable daggers for range/close combat.
Spearmen of Spear Division: Maccavian Spearmen are exeptional at
throwing spears and tactically adaptable, nor horse or camel can
charge through the Maccavian Phalanx, ranged enemy infantry is
killed easily as well infantry, they carry a pike, a shortsword
and throwable spears, no shields, for quicky positioning and
defence, but that makes them heavily at disvantage when fighting
long-ranged enemies and if they do not brace their spears for
combat mounted infantry, they're a easily pickings, but do not
understimate them, they can still throw spears and use their
shortswords.
Maccavian Spearmen can become TOP-TIER Maccavian Halberdier,
that carries a Halberdier that can kill anything that is mounted
easily, they still carry thrownable spears, and the shortsword,
they have a much better armor that can protect them from ranged
attacks.
All Maccavian TOP TIER units use heraldic heavy plate armors,
while the normal tier uses non-heraldic heavy plate armor.
And last, there is the Knights of the Maccavian Republic,
mini-nobles, with lands and titles.
Maccavian Squires are sons of nobles, they are trained since
childhood in all division martial arts, they are very educated
and devout followers of the Faiths and Gods. And so the result
are very expensive units, with very good training they can
become Maccavian Knights.
As Maccavia is split religiously, it would be a shame to just
create one branch of Knights, so, I'm expanding it.
Maccavian Squires of the Old Gods can become Maccavian Black
Knights, while Maccavian Squires of the New Gods can become
Maccavian Knights of Steel.
Knights of steel are very valorous and powerful units, they use
Greatswords as backup, longsword, shield and a Lance, a
Maccavian bred armored white stallion as mount. Steel Heavy
Plate Armor.
Black Knights are very strong and powerful units, not only they
use a Greataxe as backup but they carry the Axe-crossbow (Normal
variant), and a Longsword, a Maccavian bred armored Black
Stallion as mount.
Now we go to Politics in the Maccavian Republic: King Agathor
Krex is the dictator of Republic, while he desires to have full
control of the Republic backed by his loyal hound followers of
the old Gods, the new Gods followers seem to dislike him and try
to sabote every attempt he makes, but none openly challenge his
rule, but most would certainly follow a New God claimant.
Naming:
in that case I choose the roleplaying strenght of it;
Followers of the Old Gods often choose Nordic names such as:
Noble Fenris Stone-Heart, Noble Singvar the Gilded, Noble
Segrefied Broken-Shield.
Followers of the New Gods choose more empire/fantasy minded
names such as: Noble Falcus Frost, Noble Dracchos Dignity, Noble
Tytus Rex, Noble Benunius Benevolent.
That's it, that's what I have wanted to say, so, if you reader
by any chance wants to have your soul "Immortalized" in a
fictional world, please make it lore-friendly above.
Sincerely,
PS: Forgive any spelling mistakes and outlandish english.

Yes.
Isn't here where we build the factions? I think it is about time
we get to work on the Factions nobles/rulers, like naming and
doing such things.
Heh, I'm trying to find images for a Faction Banner for the
Maccavian Republic, I was thinking about finding a Golden Fleur
de Lis, but you never know what might change..

Knights of Steel will smite the Kingsman Order!
Heh, about the Republic part, will the Claimant recreate it?
sounds fun :)
And actually, the claimant could ask help from the Maccavian
Republic as they support that every man should be lord of their
destiny not a "slave/subject" to one man's vanity and ambition
and die in vain.
By the way. I need to create the Maccavian Equipment, do you
have items I could choose from? Let's get it over with!

Hmm... Well the Kingsman aren't done yet. I plan on making their
noble line a expansion of it ;)
I am not at the point of claimants yet. That is for a little
later :) but i like where your going with it.
I do have a start. I added a in-game item viewer for more easy
access to items, so ill try to make that available to you as
soon as i can. But i am still adding, so we can always change/
edit things.
ps. I have officially adopted The Redwood Nation as my own ;)
