Loyal to Antioch
The Imperial Empire of Antioch
Easily the largest, and Most powerful force upon the Zghin Globe. The oldest known unified government system, the Empire has been around for over 500 years. Comprised of 5 basic sections; the Senate, the Armada, the Legion, the Church, and the Civilians. Led ultimately by the Emperor who at this time is Zhang Zu.
The Senate
Governing Body of the entire Empire. Comprised of a small council like group of the Emperor's most trusted officers and advisers. Their job is to rule and run the many departments of the Empire, and the constantly growing number of territories. Where democracy is the acting method, the Emperor's will is the last say.
The Church
Nearly hand in hand with the Senate, the church acts as the spiritual word of the Emperor. As old as the empire itself, yet changed from its original doctrine. As a member of the church you, depending on your rank, must patronage to the church and worship fully to God. This is also acts as a mages Guild for the Empire.
The Armada
1000 Vessels' strong, the Armada is the true power of the Emperor's will. Where the Legion is the Enforcer the Armada is the negotiator. Not even one naval ship would be wanted to be in port of a city, thus making many cities bow down to the emperor before a soldier ever enters its walls.
The Legion
Easily the most destructive force of the entire Empire, is 1,000,000 men strong and acts as the enforcer of the Emperor's will. Acting as the police, the military, and the tax collector, the military of the Empire is truly a threatening spectacle. The Superior commanders are Senate members known as the Inquisitors. The forces directly under these men are far more hideous and destructive. Those who meet them never survive. It is in truth minions that fight underneath the Inquisitors.
The Eastern Interests Company
Much like the East Indies Company of England, this group is a collection of expeditionary explorers, corporate business, and money hungry diplomats. They simply, usually funded by the Church, move into the different sections of Ferwynn Tameel, and erect Settlements to generate money or resources for sale of money. This capitalist business venture is the most ruthless of all the factions. Broken into three campaigns; The Northern Interests Company, the Southern Interests Company, and the Central Interests Company. All three have their own battles within themselves and against themselves. Backbone of the Imperial Economy.
The Dark Order
Originating in Ferwynn Tameel this order is as old as the land itself. Born from the Dagontu Lords and Gods of Caleegunous the Order was erected to worship Caleegunous and his minions. Overtime, after corrupting the Great House Taronis, the Dark Order became the enemy of the LightGuardians. The war was fierce and lasted for centuries upon centuries. Yet finally their dark powers succeeded and the guardians were thought to have been obliterated. They become obsolete soon after and disappeared as a major force.
However around this time the Assassins Guild arose, bringing honour to the name of the assassin. The Order took this as an act of war and ever since then the order has become an opposition assassin's guild. Yet any sight of a LightGuardian will mean the hunting will again begin. Has sided with the Empire for they believe it was Caleegunous's wish.
Ordo De Caliguno
Once members of the Ordo De Illumino, this fractured circle of Zghin Monks, saw a path far more powerful and free than the strict and emotionless path of the Illumino Monks. Like their ancestors, the Order worships no god, but instead utilizes the all encompassing force known as Zghin. Different from the Illumino monks, cause they use their emotions and darkest desires to drive their abilities. Broken into the ranks of Lord, Apprentice, Knight, and Acolyte. Mostly Loyal to the Empire cause they see true power behind it.
