**Union** is one of the factions in Bless Online.

## **Union Alliance**

A challenger contending for the supremacy in the new age.

Since the Fall War, various races of the southern continent have entered into a perpetual military alliance to oppose the Holy Empire. The alliance hopes to expel the Empire’s interference from their territory and gain supremacy in the new age.

Union’s capital and its allied races’ base villages are all located south of the Cornus Mountains which cut across the center of the Bless continent.

## Races

An alliance of liberated cities that gained independence from the Empire. The Amistad, who consider themselves to be the true descendants of the Holy Lumen Empire, are intelligent, lively, and passionate people.

The Aqua Elves are exiled elves defying a predetermined fate; a group that inherited the Millennial Kingdom’s magical spirit. They challenge their fate of a race destined to ruin.

The Pantera is a race that reveres only strength and martial arts. Originally living in scattered tribes, the Pantera built a powerful kingdom in the desert fortress Saqqara after the rise of Pantera King Murabi.

Since the Mascus are foreigners, they were once a cause for alarm on the continent. Now, they are in charge of the continent’s commerce and industry. They interact with both factions and are refraining from making their final decision on what side to choose.

## Lore

After Padana’s humiliation when they forfeited the untouched fertile plains south of the Cornus Mountains, the Caampan’s (direct descendants of the Ancient Lumen) feeling of hostility towards the Habichts Empire grew day by day.

Eventually, the Federation of Southern Cities, Amistad, was established under the leadership of Averardo, the young head of the Sforza family, and the Duke of Navarra, Alfonso Casas.

The Amistad Federation of Cities declared their refusal to pay tax and tribute to the Holy Empire, but the Habichts Empire’s Solar Emperor Guntram did not simply let this pass.

The Fall War began when the Solar Emperor Guntram commanded Padana’s margrave Vitege to immediately punish the Amistad Federation.Contrary to the predictions of the emperor and the Margrave that a simple military protest would be sufficient, the Amistad Federation of Cities’ resistance was persistent. In the end, the Margrave’s army which had besieged Spezia City’s walls was unable to overcome Averardo Sforza’s tact and the military prowess of the cavalry led by Alfonso Casas. This led to the Margrave’s de-facto defeat after an exhausting and fierce battle.
The enraged Guntram declared direct rule over the Amistad, and not even a month later the Empire’s large army, consisting of tens of thousands of troops, passed the Urutus Corridor.

The military forces of Navarra, Campagna, Terny, and other members of the Amistad Federation assembled in Spezia, and the fateful final battle between the two powers began in Padana territory.

In Padana, the Empire had bombarded them with overwhelming military offensives since the early stages of the war and the numerically disadvantaged Amistad Federation began to show signs of defeat.

However, Amistad reinforcement troops arrived, surprising the Empire, and it was in that moment that Union, the southern continent’s alliance of races was revealed. The creation of the alliance had been carried out secretly by Averardo Sforza since the early planning stages of the Amistad Federation.The Habichts Imperial army was cornered as soon as forces from El Rano, Migdal, and Saqqara arrived, and although the Imperial army had fought hard, they were unable to turn around the now unbalanced situation. The Empire lost the war, and Solar Emperor Guntram died by Alfonso Casas’s sword.
By achieving victory in all successive wars, the alliance ended up achieving their wish of Amistad Federation’s complete independence and recovered the whole Padana area.

The Union Alliance achieved complete victory in the Fall War and declared a perpetual military alliance with the goal of forever expelling the Holy Empire’s interference in the southern continent. This marked the start of the fifth era.

As a result, the North South States Period began, in which the two opposing colossal powers of the Holy Hieron Empire and the Union Alliance are separated only by the Cornus Mountains.
