Ongoing Conflicts

== Description ==
This is a page dedicated to ongoing conflicts happening between the games current major factions. This does not include smaller factions, such as the Flame Worshippers. For more information on the lore of Deepwoken, read Lore.
== Kingdom Of Etrea ==
Currently in a major war between themselves and The Central Authority, due to the Lord Regent's placement as their ruler. Maestro Evengarde Rest suspects that The Authority will simply overthrow the entire Etrean Luminant though, rather than just Lord Regent.
The Knives of Eylis frequently attack Etrean ships in both the Etrean and Eastern Luminants, presumably under orders of the Authority, although, to be fair, The Knives of Eylis attack almost everybody.
Engages The Hundred Legions in Upper Erisia, likely due to territorial disputes.
Seen fighting members of The Hive in Aratel, as seen when the Etrean guardsmen try to steal the lifeweave orb from the Hive scouts. The Lord Regent most likely has a connection to this, planning on using the lifeweave orb for malicious purposes.
== The Central Authority ==
Primarily at war with Etrea and The Ministry, due to The Lord Regent's presence as their ruler and Prophet. This is due to The Authority's belief that a Second Drowning would bring great terror to the entirety of Lumen. See Lore for information on The Drowning. They are the only group that knows of The Ministry's true intentions, to (most likely), drown Etris as an offering to Yun’Shul, in order to gain power.
Holds Children of Navae captive at Fort Merit. 
Also at war with The Hundred Legions, seen engaging the 11th Scouting Legion at Aratel and Erisia.
== The Divers ==
Occasionally fights with The Ignition Union due to territorial disputes in The Depths, but don't actively engage each other, likely because they're both funded and contracted by The Authority.
Not known to fight any other groups, probably because their only established presence is in The Depths and in the Southern Luminant, in Markor. They are NOT a group intended for profit or for power, they are a research group under and funded by the Authority. 
== The Hive ==
Seen fighting Etrea on Aratel, but presumably hostile to anyone looking to seize Greathive Aratel, namely The Authority.
Notably aggressive towards the Knives of Eylis, being one of the factions that is not neutral towards Voidwalkers and their kind.
== The Ignition Union ==
Seen fighting The Summer Company on both Miners Landing and Summer Isle, likely fighting over trade routes, gunpowder and the development of weapons. 
Has territorial disputes with The Divers in The Depths. There will probably be a bit of conflict when The Divers attempt to create a FOB in the Second Layer, seeing as the Ignition Union has already created one, The Frontier Furnace. Much like the Summer Company, they are a group intended for profit, and they intend to earn that profit by mining, specifically in The Depths.
== The Summer Company ==
Fights with The Ignition Union over trade routes and development of weapons.
Not seen engaging any other major factions, but likely hostile towards The Central Authority due to their [The Authority's] betrayal towards them [The Summer Company]. They are a group intended for business and profit, and sell weapons such as guns to others. They are keen towards their craft, and hunt down miscreants who try to engage in acts of stealing from the Company. 
== The Children Of Navae ==
Actively fights with The Ministry and The Central Authority in the Eastern Luminant. They are attacked by The Central Authority in Meteor Isle, despite the fact that the Children of Navae intend to remain peaceful nomads rather than warriors.
Children of Navae are also seen being attacked by The Knives of Eylis in Erisia
Presumably enemies with enemies of Etrea (Hundred Legions, Hive) due to their strong alliance.
== The Hundred Legions ==
Fights Etrea within Upper Erisia, presumably over territory.
Similarly fights The Authority in Aratel, due to the breach of their treaty.
Not seen to be fighting any other groups, but likely hostile to all non-Khan groups, as players begin with negative reputation with them unless they [The Player] are a Khan.
== The Knives of Eylis ==
Hostile mercenary group that engages all major factions for bounties and contracts, but primarily seen engaging Etrea in the Etrean and Eastern Luminant, and The Children of Navae in Erisia. 
They bear almost no affiliation to any faction, operating independently under the Voidmother for her goals, and for bounties.
== Lost Celtor ==
Not engaged in any active conflicts, likely because the only affiliated NPCs are the guards that patrol the city. It makes sense, seeing as they have no organization, no millitary whatsoever, and no forward operating base. 
This faction is, in a way, dead. When the Drowning of Celtor occured, they lost everything, and like their name suggestions, they are lost, without purpose. 
== The Ministry ==
Engaged in a large scale war with The Authority, due to their [The Ministry's] attempts to cause the Second Drowning (see lore). The Central Authority is the only faction to know of The Ministry's true intentions, and Etris's state as a puppet of The Ministry.
They also attack Children of Navae in the Eastern Luminant, most likely due to their worship of a Celestial, which are the mortal enemies of the Drowned Gods, which the Ministry intend to earn the favor of in order to gain power. 
Drowned the city of Celtor as an offering to Yun’Shul, and most likely intends to drown more, most likely Etris, to gain unimaginable power across Lumen.
