## Main Factions

The **Risen Sovereignty**: Founded 200 years ago, the capital city is called **Fethyrfall** and is located in the heart of the Sovereignty, resting against the back of a large mountain range. It's main leader is called a Sovereign. Its nobility are snow elves, who hate the other elf ethnicities (wood elves, high elves, dark elves). The nobility tolerate other non-elf races but will never allow anyone other than a snow elf to hold any position of power. Although the Sovereign holds supreme power, there is a council known as the Frozen Circle that helps to advise the Sovereign and run the nation. This nation was founded by the survivors of the old elvish kingdom of Tauriol, who had been were chased from their homes by the High Elves in the south of Helion. The survivors of this kingdom fled north and became acclimatised to the frozen tundra there, transforming from regular elves to snow elves. The current Sovereign is Sovereign **Galathor** **XI** **Taurioliant**, who has reigned since the founding of the Sovereignty.

The **Kingdom of Arlande**: Founded 400 years ago, this Kingdom used to be a massive empire that dominated the western part of the continent of Helion. 400 years ago the Empire known as the **Herianos Empire** erupted into civil war. The twin brothers known as *Arlandin* and *Calantin* fought over the throne of the Empire. The resulting conflict split the Empire in two, with *Arlandin* taking the larger northern portion of the empire. Since then, the two Kingdoms have been locked in conflict. Both sides have the ambition to reforge the empire but since the start of the war, neither side has prevailed. The capital of this nation is called **Arlias**, named after its founder. This nation consists of the race known as the leoparids, a sub-species of the race known as leonids. Unlike their lion cousins, the leoparids look more like the snow leopards native to the cold mountainous of North Helion. Like the snow leopards, they are well built and conditioned to handle the cold temperatures. The current king is **Arlandin X**.
