Ehwain Republic
OLD
The Ehwain Republic is the largest of the three Factions, keeping control over two of the major regions of Elygira, while always fighting for control over Ashenveil with the other factions. The Ehwain elite strive for power through order and technology, and the complete eradication of magic from the world, not wanting another magic cataclysm like the last, and usually stays out of the other factions affairs. Due to their size, they are near impossible to overthrow, with the largest army of the factions, equipped with flying warships, and other advanced mechanical weapons. While Ehwain is seemingly led by president Reis Hale, the cities are mostly under military rule led by the High general Alicia Valkyria, a cold hearted general who has made it her life work to destroy Stundan, believing that they had killed her sister, Estelle.

The Ehwain republic is a vast, technologically advanced faction, currently controlling three of the five regions of Elygira. The republic is split into three very recognizable groups; the lower class, the upper class, and the military, with the lower class encompassing most of the population. The upper class resides almost entirely within the upper levels of the Ehwainian capital Kacar, a marvel of technology and craftsmanship, while the commoners reside below, on ground level. While the life in the upper parts of Kacar is filled with technology, culture and anything else you could possibly want, the lower levels are dark, dirty, and under constant military surveillance.

Stundan
OLD
The Stundan are a faction of powerful mages, driven by the will to create an empire of magic and spiritual following and energy. The leaders of Stundan are highly spiritual, and will obey anything the spirits tell them, seeing them as gods above the other races, and the world in general. The Stundan Supremacy is the second largest of the factions, with their army consisting of mostly foot soldiers, all wielding magic, and a few animals from the wildlife in the Tegania region. The spiritually awakened leaders are a council of shamans, able to speak to the spirits of the long lost, forcing their will as the rule of the land. While the spirit’s orders are often clear, their motives are always shrouded in mystery.
