Factions and Faction Description

This page will explain to you all factions in the AiscorianRP informing you of your faction's leaders, locations and background summary.

ALSO: Please note these are just rough drafts to explain to you your faction, there may be spelling errors and/or small not very descriptive details.

Ancient Era - NOT IN PUBLIC

Scyer Era - Scyerian Empire controls all of Northern Aiscoria and rules it with an iron fist, this era ended when the humans revolted against them, Scyeria's Grand Gate shut and the civil war between the Scyerian Loyalists and the Ayhuyshore Dominion Rebels.

Reborn Era - The humans build their empires and clash between one another for domination over Aiscoria. Only few will survive. During this time Fandeim Blackblood uses Ravenfang Clan to attack Tyria and is defeated by Fraewyn Elves and Tyrians. Fandeim is pushed into Rainora and forever forgotten.

Leaf Fall Era - Fandeim unleashes a powerful spell which in term unleashes two plagues within Aiscoria. The Plague of Madness and the Plague of Undeath. So begins the fall of the humanity, now battered and scattered.

Violet Era - Humans, Elves, Orcs and everything in between are forced to flee Aiscoria to the Forgotten Lands to establish a new life as their new home is ravaged by the undeath and even worse. This is where they will rebuild their forces and prepare to invade Rainora and bring down the person who threatened their very existance, Fandeim. During this humanity's forces were lowered as eager military forces and militia traveled to Aiscoria on their own accord to battle the undead and reclaim their land.

New Violet Era - The Aiscorians have reclaimed thier lands from the undead. The fallen kingdoms and empires are rebuilt. Fandeim is imprisoned within Shatakan Temple of Magics. But once more the drums of war rumble. The uneasy alliance between the forces of the world has crumbled and war is on the brink.

!DURING THE NEW VIOLET ERA EACH FACTION IS GIVEN TWO CHOICES WHICH THEY WILL ONLY BE ALLOWED ONE, THIS IS NOT FOR THE RTS ELEMENT BUT TO MAKE THEM HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION WHICH WILL IMPACT THE ROLEPLAY OVERALL AND CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF THE ENTIRE FACTION. ALSO DO NOT ASK FOR "OH I WANT THIS BUT I DON'T WANT THAT" THIS IS NOT HOW THESE CHOICES WORK. IF YOU DON'T LIKE EITHER DO NOT PICK EITHER THESE ARE YOUR ONLY OPTIONS!

The Scyerian Empire/Scyerian Remnants/Scyerian Enclave
Background: The Scyerian Empire during the Scyeria Era was dominate throughout Aiscoria (Eastern Kingdoms). They are one of the most powerful forces in the world. They field elite infantry and heavy support, backed by powerful magic wielders and rangers. However since the human slaves revolted against the Scyerian Empire, they were pushed back into their lands of Scyeria (Quel'Thalas). They faced multiple civil wars in their land of Scyeria. When the Plague of Madness invaded Scyeria things changed quickly. The Scyerian Empire was on the brink of destruction by the overwhelming forces of the Darkwind Tormentius, however fought them back. Knowing they would never be allowed to join the ranks of the Aiscorian Alliance (Knight-Lords, Arcadia, Fraewyn Elves, Dirgarians). They join with the Shattered Axe Pact, even though they dislike everything about the Shattered Axe Pact, especially the races which are deemed "savage".

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

REBORN ERA - You are the Scyerian Expeditionary, sent to purge humanity and regain control of them. While it seems like a simple task, the task is all but simple. You will launch your expeditionary from just outside of the Scyer Grand Gate.

 * Caretharous Whitestar is a high ranking commander within the Scyerian Military. He comes from House Whitestar, a powerful military driven noble house.

LEAF FALL ERA / VIOLET ERA - Scyeria lies at the brink of destruction, trapped in Scyer (Silvermoon) you have little choice but to either fight the Darkwind Tormentius until you lose Scyer, if this happens you will be pushed to Morro'las (Sunwell Grove) your capital. If that falls the Scyerian Elves will be forced to leave Scyeria and establish a small foothold in New Garthimir (Kalimdor).

Hero name: Emperor Faldaris Carious, Commander Redril Shadowcloak, Captain Jeren Aymon,  Captain Morath Palemane

NEW VIOLET ERA - You are the New Scyerian Enclave, your forces are strong, you people are well, and your Empire (Quel'Thalas) prospers once more, you have allied yourself with the Shattered Axe Pact but do not consult with them much now that your Empire is rebuilt. You lead your forces against the Aiscorian Alliance in an attempt to accomplish your goal set so long ago, to bring humanity back under your enslavement. With the help of the Shattered Axe Pact you know your victory is nearing. With this comes a negative feature, since Skyfire is in power. The long line of House Carious has broken from the Scyerian Empire.

Hero name: Emperor Aresithas Skyfire, High Lord Faldaris Carious II, General Melthanron Palemane


 * Emperor Aresithas Skyfire - A young but wise emperor, Aresithas was placed into power through vote.

 * General Melthanron Palemane - Melthanron is a battle-mage from the Pale Raven Oracles, the most poweful mages in the world. He is a stuck up person who believes that all of humanity and anyone who opposes the Scyerian (Fraewyn and Dirgarians) should be enslaved or wiped from the face of the world. He is the leader of House Palemane and therefore has Palemane Magic Academy, which is a huge benefit to the Scyerian Enclave Army.

CHOICES:

1. Re-unite Scyeria -  Reunite Scyeria! Reuniting House Carious will allow you to train Carious Elite Guardsman (Sunwell Guardians). Doing this will turn Morro'las (Sunwell Grove) into a fortress which will train these units. This will also increase relationships with House Shadowcloak who is on the brink of turning which will allow you to train Shadowcloak Rangers (Farstrider Rangers). This overall will turn Scyeria into a fortress of unbelieveable potential. Doing this will prevent you from leaving Aiscoria as you will have to bribe House Carious which would have been used to create your navy.

New Hero: Maedan Carious, an elite noble of House Carious who leads the Carious Elite Guard.

2. New Garthimir Aid - You have decided to assist the Shattered Axe Pact and no longer see them as "savages" but as allies.

A new Scyerian Expeditionary will be formed and sent to New Garthimir where it will establish colonies. You will also be approached by the Grand Council of Scyer who will grant you access to their small stronghold in New Garthimir (Blood Elves). In effect this will cause Scyeria to become more vulnerable however will give you more income and a stronger bond with the races of the Shattered Axe Pact.

New Hero: Grand Champion Alathal Brightheart, an elite warrior of the Grand Council of Scyer. While indepedent the Grand Council still bares a large army of elite soldiers. Brightheart being one of their strongest warriors.

Shattered Axe Clan/Orcs of the Shattered Axe Pact
Background: The Shattered Axe Clan was a powerful orc clan not enslaved by the Scyerian during the Scyer Era. When the Scyerian did attack they were unable to navigate through the rough terrain and by time they would even get to the Shattered Axe capital of Gatharmir they were too few in numbers to approach the hold. The Shattered Axe dominated northern Aiscoria until near the end of the Rebirth Era. When a young shaman named Fandeim Blackblood, craving power and control, created a portal to Rainora and was going to unleash the Rainorian demons upon his hold and all of Aiscoria so that he might dominate it himself, alone. Though that all changed when the Rainorian portal opened before it was done creating. A Sya'as demon stepped forth and led it's army into Gatharmir. Fandeim fled knowing he was unable to control them. When Gatharmir was left in ruins the Rainorian demons left, no one knows why though. The remnants took fled to their outpost near Eastoft known as Shatter Pass. Eventually sometime before the Leaf Fall Era they left after years of Fraewyn and human assaults on them. They rallied all the orc clans they could find, Un-corrupted Soul RIpper Warband Orcs, Ravenfang Orcs, Broken Axe Clan, Shield Breaker Clan, Un-corrupted Wolf Claw Warband, and anyone else who would follow including some trolls and the powerful ogre clan known as Iron Head Tribe. They established themselves in the Forgotten Lands (Southern Kalimdor). However when Aiscoria was laid siege by the plagues the forces who banished them from their land came to what is now known as New Garthimir. They completely pushed the humans out of New Garthimir just before they made thier uneasy alliance against Fandeim Blackblood. They now control most of New Garthimir with an iron fist. They created the Shattered Axe Pact which would put all of their allies and followers under one banner. The Shattered Axe Pact has become the rival of the Aiscorian Alliance.

CHOICES:

1. Invasion! - Invade the western coast of Arcadia (Westfall, Stormwind) and establish a fortress there, this will increase your income as the rich coast of Arcadia will be under your control.

Wardenfell/New Wardenfell
The Wardenfell Peoples consist of humans. They were loyal subjects under the control of Astheria for a long time, even before their revolt against the Scyerians. During the Reborn Era Astheria protected Wardenfell and vice versa, which gave them a strong bond. Eventually Wardenfell was turned into a protectorate for Astheria, and commonly known as Western Asther. During the Leaf Fall Era, Astheria was completely overrun by the Plague of Madness and the king was killed and Sir Valence Revheart, a Wardenfell born commander serving in the Astherian Army was pronounced King of Astheria. Wardenfell was surrounded in all directions by the undead and was isolated from the rest of the humans. Wardenfell's People would flee to Eastoft where they would go to the Forgotten Lands like much of Northern Aiscoria. There they settled on a small island where they were constantly attacked by gnoll and troll tribals. After the Shattered Axe Pact's dominance over the majority of New Garthimir. Wardenfell and the Fraewyn Elves were the last of the Aiscorian Alliance to still stand. Now the Wardenfell refugees that had once fled, have built a mighty fortress on New Garthimir called New Wardenfell, reunited with the Aiscorian Alliance by the ocean they prepare to stand against the Pact, even if outnumbered and outgunned.

REBORN ERA - As Wardenfell you are a small band of militiamen and mercenaries, your ally, Astheria (who can not be your enemy in the RP) is the strongest nation in the land. While raiders, bandits and marauders attempt to claim your lands you must stand against them. Soon they will be the last of your concerns when new human nations emerge.

Hero: Sir Fredrick Revheart


 * Sir Fredrick Revheart - Revheart led the revolt in the Asther province against the Scyerians. Proven to be an effective leader and motivational speaker he has shown he is fit to lead his people. He created Wardenfell, the name is based off of Wardenfell's prison island where maybe humans lost their lives to the Scyerian Wardens and their torture and cruelty.

LEAF FALL ERA - Your lands are besieged, Astheria has fallen, and you are the last province remaining in north western Aiscoria. Isolated and alone, your bands of militia and elite guardsman are limited. Wardenfell Keep (Hearthglen) is coming closer and closer to being overrun by the Undead Legions, however the keep is the only place the actual military force of Wardenfell resides. Hold as long as you can, then flee through Mill Creek Hold (Alterac) and into Eastoft.

Hero: Captain Gabriel Sadant, Sir Fredrick Valence


 * Captain Gabriel Sadant - Captain Sadant is an Astherian Military Captain stationed at Wardenfell Prison. He has experienced the revolt against the Scyerians and the war against his own race to preserve his land. He is hopeful and well commited to saving his people.


 * Sir Fredrick Revheart - Brother to the Astherian King Valence Revheart, who is now leader of the Undead Legions. Fredrick is discusted by his brother willfully joining the Undead Legions and dooming the people in the Asther Province. He is now determined to bring his brother to the grave for destroying everything they fought for.

VIOLET ERA - Your forces are scattered all over New Garthimir. Your most abundant group has landed north west of the Forgotten Lands, rally your men and establish New Wardenfell (Theramore) quickly as the Jal'ka Troll Tribe and the Gnollish Bonebreaker Tribe close on you. Defend yourself and fight them vile savages off and you might just claim the land for you cause...

Hero: Sir Fredrick Revheart


 * Sir Fredrick Revheart - Fleeing Wardenfell was his only decision, while he mourns the lose of the Astherian military forces, including Captain Sadant who stayed behind to cover their retreat he knows they will be avenged.

NEW VIOLET ERA - You are the people of New Wardenfell (Theramore). Your have successfully established your new home in New Garthimir. While tensions between the Aiscorian Alliance and the Shattered Axe Pact increased, you knew you could not remain neutral forever. You have joined the Aiscorian Alliance taking the risk of being in Pact territory. However you are on a fortress island north-east of the Forgotten Lands and mostly isolated from the inland with the exceptions of a chokepoint valley. You also control natural resource packed islands and many oil rigs. They are exposed, which requires New Wardenfell's navy to protect them at all times.

Hero: Sir Fredrick Revheart, Commander Thadan Harkness, Admiral Rodrick Davenport


 * Sir Fredrick Revheart - Supreme Councilor of New Wardenfell, a hero to his people and an essential asset to the Aiscorian Alliance. Revheart is well liked amongst every human, not only because they were a noble house in Astheria but because of their charisma and caring ways.


 * Commander Thadan Harkness - Commander of the New Wardenfell Army, he unlike most of the people, is part of Sadan's Guard, he was tasked with taking Sadan's position and helping the Wardenfell people. When Revheart met him they quickly became good friends and because of Harkness' abilities as a soldier, strategist and leader he was placed as the 1st Commander of the Wardenfell Army.


 * Admiral Rodrick Davenport - Davenport controls all naval assets within New Wardenfell. Davenport is an Eastoftian admiral who left with the Wardenfell people when they set sail for New Garthimir. He is known to use marines for sea invasions to secure the area before moving reinforcements in.

CHOICES:

Revive the Order of the Blooded Eagle - A once powerful order of crusaders who were determined to secure Astheria. They protected Wardenfell during the largest Undead Legion siege known in the Leaf Era. They held them off but suffered so many casualities including their leader High Lord William Utheway. The last of the Order was held off at Mill Creek Hold but as it seems the order fell apart after Paladin Sage Caren was killed. The order's remnants joined the people of Wardenfell on their journey to New Garthimir. The bloodline of the Order of the Blooded Eagle still exists as Knight-Brother Dean Thall. With him and New Wardenfell the island could become the hold of the revived Order of the Blooded Eagle. This will cause the Jal'ka Trolls to once more wage war on New Wardenfell as they see the Order as a bloodthirsty racist group bend on human domination. Eastoft will begin to trade more with New Wardenfell as the Black Rose Crusade who inhabits Eastoft supports the Order. All New Wardenfell Military (Theramore) will be turned into Order Soldiers (Scarlet Crusade). New Wardenfell will no longer be able to construct the Aiscorian Dreadnought (since you lose Theramore). This will also give New Wardenfell the Order's old hold, Mill Creek Hold (Alterac) which still has wealthy mines.

New Hero: Knight-Brother Dean Thall, A legendary soldier who is Wardenfell born and new leader of the Order of the Blooded Eagle because he contains the bloodline of the Order's oldest members. He is a young wise strong warrior who should not be taken lightly especially to his authority.

Startlam Fortress - New Wardenfell has a fortress on an island but nothing compared to what the stonemasons of Emir can do to the island. As part of the Aiscorian Alliance many of the Alliance's people have colonized to New Wardenfell, including Emirian Stonemasons. The Stonemasons will create Startlam Fortress which will turn New Wardenfell's defenses into master crafted defense towers (turns Towers into Strategic Towers). By allowing this it will cost 800 gold to fund the Stonemasons. As an added bonus the Stonemasons will also increase the defenses on the exposed islands around New Wardenfell and teach the Wardenfell people how to construct these defenses. The stonemasons will also hire Oilmen to find more oil offshore of Wardenfell and the Emirian Miners to find more gold mines around New Wardenfell. By doing this the Jal'ka Trolls will wage war on New Wardenfell as New Wardenfell has begun to expand and they feel threatened. This will also gain the attention of the Pact, who dislikes an Aiscorian Alliance member stealing resources from their lands.
