Pirates
The pirates are an important faction of Erodemius. They are always at war with the port and mainly every faction that is on the coast. Ruthless and chaotic, the pirates tend to attack anyone at anytime of the day on any water (except the ones near the port that are heavily protected). With a minimum of honor, pirates avoid to attack other pirates, unless if said pirates have dishonored the Citadel or betrayed it's location or some of it's secrets. Pirates have lords, and the lords command fleets. The fleets have different purpose, depending on the lord : Smuggling, pillaging, pratrolling, traveling and the likes. Lords rarely have 'good' work to do, but often recruit new members to do the dirty work, for a sum. Yet, the lords have king, and his name is known to all : Blue Beard, who currently controls the citadel and it's surrounding. With the help of taxes, he provides protection and shelter to the poor, whores and pirates. He is known to be righteous, yet wicked in a way. He has a powerful fleet at his disposal that is scattered far beyond the province.
The current lords are ________________
Felden NighEnd : A dark and clad, typical pirate with a dark and long beard. NighEnd is known for his pessimist and is always on the lookout for possible traitors. With a crew of elitists and skilled sailors, he does plenty of different work for the king and sometimes collect taxes. Known for his knowledge of prices, he is an important merchant that has a hand on his purse and the other on the hilt of his firearm. Rich and dangerous, the NighEnd men are not to be underestimated.
Richard Axe'Arm : A brutal ex-viking dwarf. With a long crimson-red beard, he carries around a dwarven waraxe that is reknowned for cutting the arm of many, many men, allies or foes. Always threatening with a smirk, he pillages most of the time little towns and mostly fortified boats with the help of his crew of warriors that are used to the thirst of blood and cold metal. Mostly a clan of savage, even amongst pirates, the Axe'Arm men are feared by most.
William FallHeart : A proud and young lord. Known to be a skilled sorcerer, Fallheart is a seducer and loves above all conquering the hearts of princesses and the like. Sailing the sea, looking for treasures, the man is romantic but also chases sometimes boats in order to make a living. Of all the Lords, he is the most peaceful one. With blond hair and beard, he fights like a duelist when he needs to, challenging many men that do not clearly know who he is to bloody duels in order to get the hand of the women he craves for.
Mad'Antler : One of the strangest lords, Mad'Antler rarely appears in public and mostly handles the work to be done with some of his most skilled men. Having a considerable fleet, he used as a tactic to quickly rise to the rank of Lord that involved hunting down slave-merchant boats and releasing the slaves. Helping the poor, some in return decided to join him. Infamous because of his important smuggling business, he is also know to be one of the richest pirate Lords of Erodemius.
Bellatrix Constantine : In charge of the many brothels around the province, Bellatrix is a clever and dangerously beautiful woman. It is said that she used to be a paladin and that she left the order when she saw the corruption in it. Now helping the women who were left to the streets, she mostly remains on the ground. Smuggling most of the time jewels and weapons with the help of Mad'Antler, she trains her girls to the art of battle. William Faitheart once attempted to seduce her, but the man ended up eating the dirt with the foot of Constantine on his back. Her fleet is small, but her influence is deep into the pirate world.
The Citadel is a fortified blackmarket where pirates come to trade and smuggle their goods. It's location is unknown to the law and pirates lords have their own territory on islands that are hidden as well.
The Forces of Khaos
The dark ruinous powers of Khaos corrupt the local lands. They seek to destroy all order and leave the providence in utter chaos. Their God, the great warrior Khaos grants them dark powers and mind-warping tools of recruitment. The Force of Khaos are split into many Khaos Lords all vying for power. Eventually one will stand as the Khaos Overlord to lead a war against the other factions.
The Forces of Khaos employ several tiers of units.
Low Tier: Crossbowmen for ranged support, mindless hordes of Cultists, and Demontouched Cultists capable of powerful psyonic attacks
Mid Tier: Warrior elite Khaos Champions who act as the backbone of the evil forces, Lesser Demons that cast dark eldritch energies, and Golems which act as defenders and shock troops
High Tier: Khaos Blackguards are the most elite mortal warriors that the forces of Khaos field, powerful and coursing with dark mystical energies. They are covered in Demonic runes to increase their power. It is rumored some are no longer mortal at all.
Other units of the various tiers exist, but have yet to be fully understood by the general populace.
The Legions
The Skullcrushers
Khaos lord - Kybshe Samun
The Skullcrushers are the newest Legion, a powerful war band bent on absorbing the other Legions. They prefer small bands of highly elite soldiers. Their leader is an infamous machine-man driven to insanity and acts of dark depravity by the clockwork that has taken his free will.
Realm Eaters
Khaos Lord – Lictor
Little is known about this Legion, they have yet to enter the scene as a major player.
Lux's Children
Khaos Lord – Pyro
Former followers of Lux who have been seduced into the forces of Khaos, they are powerful and insane. They concentrate on destroying the church of Lux, preferring Cultists who were former followers of Lux themselves.
Blood Ravagers
Khaos Lord – Shredder
The Blood Ravagers are a violent and expansionist. They prefer the company of Demons over mortals, and use primarily shock tactics. The Khaos Lord of the faction is a Demon himself, albeit not terribly bright he shows ferocity in battle.
Night Fangs
Khaos Lord – Wolcott
This Legion prefers stealth and subtle trickery. They are powerful not by might but by tactical brilliance. Their Lord, Wolcott, is currently trapped in the Void for failing at a critical task.
Death Bearers
Khaos Lord - Val Reaper
A Legion unlike the rest, they prefer the use of Undead. Their silent leader is the head of vast bands of mindless undead. The Death Bearers absorb the dead of fallen enemies into their forces, making their numbers extensive.
It currently controls most of the Province Of Erodemius and has over 12 000 soldiers which work for different high-ranked individuals that are bound to the city.
