==== '''Factions''' ====

'''The Royal Family''': Palatinus' oft despised ruling body. "Lead" by Procus, the Flail Monarch of Latium. A physically weak king, Procus will not make his move unless it is a sure victory. He has borne two sons: Amrius and Yumil. In Amrius lies an ambitious man behind the calm, loving eyes that most of the nobles and the citizenry have come to respect. Yumil, though, is a kind-hearted soul who would rather aid the people instead of bow to a neighboring kingdom.

'''House Glendale''': The Hand of Lodis, at least on this side of the continent. Lord Richard "The Dragonheart" Glendale is the current primarch of this noble line, with his younger brother Baldwin as next in succeed. Richard prefers to wait and see, whereas Baldwin recklessly dives in. Of the two, Baldwin is the one who hides a sinister, desperate need to conquer...he has been known to side with whosoever can grant him a higher advantage. Both are masterful manipulators, yet Richard is sincere to his word.

'''The Eastern Orthodox Church''': Lying in the east of Palatinus, the clergy wields some might against all who would dare defile the sanctity of the land. Their greatest leader is Europea Rheda, a fiery woman with a heart of gold. Elsewhere, most of Palatinus will listen to the soft-spoken voice of His Holiness, Sir Odiron Balum. He has never steered the Church wrong in his 60+ years of service and some say he may well lead the kingdom in its time of dread.

'''The Revolutionary Army''': Frederick Raskin's army that has waged a losing battle against both Lodis and the Dulmares in a war of attrition. With desperation setting in and enemies on all sides, Raskin has turned to outside elements to help free the peoples of the nation under a single banner, to take the fight to Lodis and drive them off from THEIR home. Barring Pope Balum, Frederick is seen as the new leader of the country, given his solemn talk of unity and extensions of brotherhood.

'''Devas of Zenobia''': An outside element, called to arms by Frederick Raskin in his darkest hour. These men and woman are the ones who declared Zenobia free after deposing the Black Queen and her vizier, the ominous Rashidi. Their ringleader is the elusive Destin Faroda, a young man of great deed and heroic compromise. His best friend and greatest Ally, Quass the Debonair, rides alongside him and Gilbald O'Brien, the Wild Man. Rounding out their unit is the fair Aisha Knudel, healer of wounds and banisher of evil, and the Great Magus, Saradin Carm.

'''The Caliginous Order''': A group of Templar Knights who have preformed great deed with greater strength, all in the name of Lodis and its leaders. Though the quiet Amazeroth Ludon, who prefers to fight then talk, and Vapula Simberg, their resident mage, are considered some of their best knights, most of the credit falls to Pruflas Watts, an ambitious and young knight who is too foolhardy for his own good. He seeks to arise to greater heights then Baldwin could even dream, by any means necessary.

'''Zeda''': A mysterious woman who speaks of great strength and ill fortune. Not much is known about this foul being, but what is that she has taken to the company of Goblins....some say...she is able to summon Ogres, much to the horror of those who seek her out. She even has left a sleeper agent within the royal family, a simple and naive woman named Meri, to seduce Yumil so Zeda may use the prince as a pawn to further her own needs.
