Empyria has long stood magnificient and unmatched, the arcane arts and crafts keeping the intricate gears of the continent spanning dominion turning, but properity breeds bad ideas, and experimentation with the very foundation of reality, breeds unimaginable nightmares, the Cult arose, and their patrons cast down what was once the finest nation in existance. in the ashes, the survivors splintered even more, factionalism had always existed and all of them now viewed themselves as vindicated. and none were willing to budge on their views.
 
the Ecclesia called upon the might of the heavenly hosts, long proven real and now getting involved in stopping these horrors, but demanding deep cuts into personal freedoms, seeing them as the root cause for the disaster. these were very mobile forces and the embodiment of air superiority, but oppressive and unkind even to those that bent the knee willingly, holding every person to exacting standards.
 
opposing them stood the Cabal, aided by insectoid dwellers of the world that had always been outsiders even in empyria. they oppose absolute order, agreeing that the eldritch mosntrosities needed to be stopped but convinced that the ecclesiastical victory would spell something worse than death. having long seen the heavenly as hypocrites. they receive aid in the balefires of hell, itself a force of order too but much more lenient than heaven, they are punishers and judges, true to their primordial mission.
 
the Floranim plant people, long fearing the advancements of the modern world, have either through corruption or simply out of desperation turned on the empire, their forests grow, as do the beasts therein, and with the Floranim at the vanguard, they seek to reconquer all that mother nature had to give up.
 
but Progress will not be stopped, not if the Teslatic have a say in the matter, these are the powers of steel, steam, and Gunpowder, wielded with purpose to reforge the continent, for progress and safety, they abandoned the magical arts, with the exception of totems, that tribes have introduced as effective wards.
 
The Noblians of Neo-Empyrea see all these factions as traitors, enemies, or traitorous enemies, they are the representation of all magic, holding the mountainous citadels of the old empire, and pressing all without the spark into service, one way or another, so that the mage dominion may reconquer. gone is the glory and honor of the empire, now only might matters.
 
but the Uruk the trading princes of the east, wish nothing to do with any of these powers, but there is a war on, and conquest, is profit, mercenaries will sell all their skill and soul, why not invest into their own future, ruler of the world ought to end toll and tariff, once the messes are dealt with only they could return prosperity.
 
(As player you have free pick, or write a short introduction for your own faction if you like, just remember one thing, even the ones in the same may be too ambitious to trust.)
 
Character card: Teslatic Chief of state  
Name: Matt Bloodstripe  
Age: 30  
Appearance: an absolute unit of a tiger, but don’t let appearances fool you the bulk is muscle  
Race: Tiger Anthro (quadrupeds do exist but are generally more instinct driven, dragons as mercs can work for any faction, but some are more risky than others.)  
Personality: a reasonable man, but if he thinks you can’t be reasoned with he will go for overwhelming force  
Notes: Rose to power by rallying survivors and retrieving as much imperial tech as he could, magic as a reality defying force of “nonsense” as he defines it, is his subject of disgust.  
Weapon of choice: Teslatic shockstaff  
Army: his personal guard are the handpicked elites of the Technocracy, wielding heavy but powerful equipment, also a shadow command unit moving quickly due to having virtually no armor.

(the society used to be a benevolent magic based nobility as just and fair rulers over the magicless.  
magic could alter reality, the greater the will and the more intircately thought out, the more effective it was, so lighting a candle was as easy as snapping a finger but if you could think on a small enough scale you could knit together lost limbs or convince the body to make a replacement.)

Character card: TBD  
Name: Grimm, The Huntress  
Age: 287  
Gender: Female  
Appearance:9’7” tall and 16’10” long. picture  
From her back sprout 6 durable, whip like appendages. They are almost as long as she is, and have great strength. Her eyes are a cloudy white, or deep burning orange depending on the situation.  
Race: Thanator  
Personality: Calculated, cruel, to the point. She has a history of eating her subordinates whole, only to retrieve the ones who survive as different people. Often they end up devoutly loyal, others, take another trip and never return. Her leadership has led her “Nation” to solid victory, prosperity, and has gained it an infamy that spells death should one attempt anything.  
Faction:Cabal  
Notes: She is extremely strong, and will often display this by performing tasks that none others succeeded in. Alongside her strength is the uncanny abilities of stealth she has. And to top it, she can induce hysteria in her prey when stalking them.  
Weapon of choice: Her muscular front legs, teeth, and large body. The large whiplike appendages on her back.  
Army: to be determined  
Notes: Her favored general, Cerus, is almost always at her side, and often acts as her immediate proxy.

(the power level would depend on a few factors, if you play a faction leader they can throw a boulder the size of a dumptruck, if you are a junior commander that may be a decently sized fireball flying from your staff. i generally try to appeal to the player’s own sense of reason, and the amount of army they are willing to handle, cult will obviously zerg rush with lots of weak ones while noblians, aside from slave hordes, are usually few but fearsome.)
 
(basically if you picture it and say, “that seems reasonable” i’ll probably agree.)

(for instance, jinx’ character up there is at most one rung below faction leader, and has a general as her subordinate. however the balance comes in by grimm being more a beast solo operative with backup as needed.)

(I was thinking of.. a wife of the leader of the Nobilians who has strong healing magic, and want mostly to help- and to stop her husband’s revenge’s spree. More or less? Can it work?)

Character card:  
Name: Duchess Vilinia (Vanhorn) Shapeskear. “The Golden Widow”  
Age:37  
Appearance: After a cushy life and almost 20 years of getting pregnant over and over, Vilina is quite big and soft, her coat is golden and mane is silvery with stripes of cyan.  
Her expression and attitude much like her body are soft and motherly.
 
Race: Unicorn (most nobilians are “mythical’ races)
 
Personality: Very empathic, compassionate and somewhat naive. Some might even say stupid.  
She also lonely, haunted by the memories of her dead husbands, the frusrations of her living husband. Also, her firstborn is in hideoit, and her children are in care of servants, even her baby has a wetnurse- she is expected to use her magic and be around for the politics, hosting proms and etc.  
Her husband use her as a trophy wife, want her to show off- but also jealuse and angry at her.  
It seems all this love that she want to give, but her circutamcnes are shutting, empower her incedible healing magic.
 
Faction: Nobilians. Wife of their leader Duke Sheiroq Shapeskear.
 
Notes: were a neice of the last emporer, lived in luxury,but were compassionate. As the Empyria has fallen down, and so more and more members of the royal family, her status has rose.  
At age 17 she was married to the last emporer, who got killed few month later, but giving her a child.  
He was sent to a hideout, waiting for the day it will be safe to take him back as the new emporer. Since then she was married off, to set of men, as trophy wife to the current leader of the Nobilians  
About nine of them, and similiar number of pregnancies, even if not all of her children have survived.  
Her current husband, Duke Sheiroq Shapeskear,is 19 years old, who married her after his two older brothers.  
Sheiroq is brave, a powerful earth and magma mage, and charismatic.  
But failed to produce a heir so far, which frusrate him.  
Vilinia try to sooth and calm him down, but it seems he become more and more extreme.
 
Weapon of choice: platinum chain  
Army: staff of servants,ladies in waiting, and two knights sworn to guard her.

Deep within the confines of the Cabal capital city resided Grimm, the leader of the nations armies and effective leader of the nation
 
Cerus!
 
her voice boomed, though it was not aggressive, more monotone than anything. The guards outside her chambers jumped a little at the sudden disruption of silence

Cerus: “you know the first place to look for me is in your shadow, no?”
 
the formidian King, forger of the cabal’s pact, and Grimm’s ever devoted bondsman indeed slunk out of the shadows, plenty of those to be had even with all the balefire.
 
“what gnaws at your patience?”

The current status of the world. It begs our attention. I wish to fully secure our borders, and unearth the old arcane war machines our predecesors left idle.

“those have not walked the land since Empyria’s assertian war, that saw our kind banished to the margins. I believe they could be unearthed, with a lot of time, and a very large pit mine at the location of our old capital.”

No. I fear that more of my kind will begin showing themselves in powerful places. And i fear that one i know quite well will show himself within our borders.
 
she sighed, a heavy gust of breath escaping the large nostrils in her chest
 
Give orders to start excavation immediately. All cities and fortress’, regardless of being above or below ground, are to have massive killing fields built in all directions surrounding them. Heavy razor wire and herzogs (tank traps) are to fill these areas.
 
The Cabal will prepare for a defensive war.

Upon unearthing the arcane machines their forces will be decimated. I recall seeing a simple war machine obliterate half an army with its energy weaponry.
 
The cabal will not be trifled with.
 
one of the tendrils from her back came around, extending to pick up a few sealed letters
 
Have these given to the appropriate commanders, and alert the elite guard to ready my traveling armor.

he bows and takes the notes, disappearing in a balefire rift, the method of teleportation employed by cabalites.
 
the thought of her peers showing up and picking apart the cabal for their own gain was still a problem, more than grimmprobably realized as she was soon alerted to one such upstart.
