=== '''The Valerian Isles''' ===

A medium-sized archipelago that spans in the Equator of Zeteginia. What makes this land unique compared to Palatinus or Zenobia is thus: It is populated by several rival clans that are at constant war with each other, separate by color of skin, hair, eyes, and traditions.

A great man by the name of Dorgalua Oberyth, once organized the warring tribes under a united banner that spanned the entirety of the islands. His reign was just, not a soul save the few dissidents who warred with him had a complaint in the world. He had supported clan interbreeding to unite the tribes, and although his initial idea was successful, all would not be peaceful in the long run.

In the end, his passing had fractured the peace Dorgalua fought so long to maintain. The clans had split into Three, with several others spanning the continent...

The Galgastani are amongst the most numerous of the peoples, counting as 7 of 10 amongst the citizens of Valeria. They are led by Balbatos, a noble who, though ruthless against any who would slander him, is a mighty man that will not suffer fools in his court. The Galgastani are the most warrior like, with the Bakram as their second. For years now since the fall of the Dynast King, they have raged a war that seeks to erase the smallest of the tribes.

The Bakram currently hold the most territory of the kingdoms, counting 2 of 10 amongst Valeria's people. Fewer in number yes, it is thanks to Lord Brantyn's tactical genius that they claim such amounts. Though less warrior and more of modern livelihood, the Bakramy peoples will not back down without a fight if a challenge is presented. Brantyn has crowned himself Regent to the North-Eastern chunks of the continent, with his people standing by his side.

Finally, the Walister, a most buggered lot in all of Valeria, sadly lasting as no more then 1 of 10 within the continental borders. At heart, they are a peaceful tribe who would much rather speak instead of drawing blood. Juda Ronwey is the only man who was strong enough to stand in defiance against both the Kingdom of Galgastan and the Bakram-Valerian Nation. For this insult, he has been interned within his own home of Almorica, laying in wait for a possible "hero" that he can use for his own gain.

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

'''The Walister Resistance''' - Those few men who have taken sword and staff in the name of their tribe. Small in number but great in courage...though some say foolhardy or outright crazed. Their leader is Ronwey, who plots to topple Balbatos or die trying. Among his lieutenants are the steward Sir Leonar and the Thunder Maiden herself, Arycelle. Some say, depending on the time, a sour-looking man by the name of Vyce acts as Ronwey's right hand.

'''The Bakramy Liberation Front''' - Another resistance force opposed to any who would stand in the way of peace. Greater then the Resistance yet they would be slaughtered in direct combat against the Galgastani. They strive to create peace by any means, which has led them to be looked down upon by the remaining free peoples. They are lead by a trio of sisters who have sworn to see their mission done, aided by the knight Sir Folcurt and the Magus, Bayin.

'''The Kingdom of Galgastan''' - Lying to the west, Galgastan's military arm, as commanded by Lord Balbatos. Numerous, strong, powerful, and mystic are but a few titles given to this group. Of special note, Galgastan has been desperate enough to allow Nybeth Obdilord, a powerful Necromancer, to begin his experimentation with the dead. If that was not enough, there are numerous heroes, brigands, and mercenaries that they may call upon at a moment's notice.

'''The Order of Waterscale''' - A wildcard amongst the factions, it is not known where they shall lay their lot. It is led by the son of an imprisoned Abuna, by the name of Denam Pavel and his sister Catiua. Not much is known of Denam himself, but his sister is of gentle heart and purest soul. Its group is formed of various peoples and creatures amongst the isles, and even a few not native to these lands.

'''The Dark Knights Loslorien''' - By order of Lodis, the DKL have come to Valeria to over see where Fate shall lay her hand. Comprised of swordsman, knights, magicians, beast masters, and priests, those of Loslorien are one of the mightiest opponents in the land. Let it not be said that they'd rather stay OUT of this war, they'd prefer to observe. Of note, their ringleader is a hero in his own right, one Lanselot Tartaros. It is claimed that he had a hand in a major crisis several years prior to the arrival of Dorgalua.

'''The Order of Holy Knights''' - An exiled group of Heroes originating from the beleagued land of Zenobia. These greats have been thrown out of their home for reasons unknown, but they will lend their might to any group in dire need. Among their number is the Astromancer himself, Warren, and at his side, the mighty Canopus Wolf - Wind Caller. It is also claimed that their is another Knight with claims to be a Paladin by the name of Lanselot as well.

'''The Bakram-Valerian Nation''' - Brantyn's personal army, set to conquer the land by any cost. These men and woman aid the Regent in conquering Valeria by whatever means is possible, using his claim of Bloodline as their reasons. Whether this claim holds true or not is anyone's guess, considering that Dorgalua had taken a hand-maiden for a scandalous affair...that may have birthed an heir, much to Brantyn's horror and Chagrin.
