The Crimsons

The Crimsons are a political faction of nobles and ministers in Lordamere. They are the rival faction of the Violets.
Rather than an organized group, the Crimsons are a loose political affiliation with varying goals. The faction contains different cliques, political ideologies, and rival statesmen. Despite their differences, they are united by their opposition to the Violets, and several overarching political views.
The Crimsons are generally united in their support for feudalism, regionalism, and isolationism. They seek to keep power distributed among the noble houses. The Crimsons are opposed to centralization of power, formation of a national military, and establishing international alliances and colonies. The Crimsons are generally critical of "radical" culture in the capital, of corruption in the Chancery, of favoritism shown to southern provinces, and of the growing power of guilds, banks, and businesses.
The Crimsons are generally more traditional than their Violet counterparts, to the point that they have earned a reputation for being conservative and uptight. The faction largely consists of lords in more rural and northern provinces. The more conservative ranks of the clergy form a major basis of support for the Crimsons, as well as several banks and guilds.
