Factions
The Falkenguard
The elite protectors of the Imperial family, the Falkenguard are a prestigious order sworn to the defense of the throne. They are hand-selected from the most skilled warriors in the empire and undergo rigorous training before taking their oaths. Among their ranks, the most prestigious roles are those of the Sworn Shield and Sworn Sword—personal protectors assigned to members of the imperial family. These individuals are bound by oath to remain within five paces of their charge at all times, sacrificing their lives if necessary.
The Incogniti
A shadowy network of spies, informants, and covert operatives who serve the empire from the shadows. Their true numbers are unknown, and their identities are carefully concealed—even among each other. While some act as silent observers in noble courts, others work deep in foreign territories, ensuring Falkazenn remains ever watchful. The Incogniti answer directly to the Emperor, carrying out missions that range from intelligence gathering to quiet eliminations.
The Imperial Forces
The standing military of Falkazenn, composed of well-trained soldiers, cavalry, and aerial divisions. While the Falkenguard protects the throne, the Imperial Forces defend the borders, enforce the emperor’s will, and maintain order throughout the empire. With the peace established by the United Nalavaris Peace Federation, much of the army has shifted focus from active warfare to safeguarding trade routes, responding to threats along the outer territories, and ensuring stability within Falkazenn’s lands.
The Serpent's Vow
The Serpent’s Vow is the elite royal guard of Trunsiph, sworn to protect the royal family and uphold the kingdom's legacy with unwavering loyalty. The members of the Serpent’s Vow are not only formidable fighters but also experts in stealth, capable of slipping unnoticed through the shadows when needed. They are trained to remain poised like a coiled serpent, ready to strike with lethal precision when the royal family is under threat.
