{ FACTION HISTORY }
The three Vanthian Factions were started over 5 centuries ago, out of a need to protect the need to defend the
region's from a threat that had nearly destroyed Vanthias at one point long ago.
This threat was none other than the Skadyth: a race of demonic, twisted, shadow-like beings that consumed anything that they touched.
countless Aitherion, Therukh, and Verlet fell to these creatures,. They could not be stopped as
it seemed, for they used the powers of the shadows to veil themselves to strike at them while unaware.
Under the command of the first three leaders, the factions themselves soon rose as a result. The origin of the three
faction leaders coming from the burning city of Ulistor after the Skadyth had raged through, killing almost every person
that resided within and waged war on the Skadyth in order to save their home.
It was a long, bitter fight that cost the factions many lives as a result. But they had successfully managed to drive the
Skadyth back to whence they came by the century's end. The Skadyth have never returned since then, and are believed
to have gone extinct, possibly because their main source of food was gone. Once their main threat had been eliminated,
the three factions themselves had soon turned their eyes to their homeland and set out to rebuild their home and protect
their people from any other threat that may arise.
Initially, as time passed, the factions and their leaders soon took reign of the region's, divided amongst them to monitor
and to protect.
However, also as time passed, as the new leaders had replaced their predecessors, resentment amongst them began to
flare, mostly as disagreements between how the others took to their strategies of their regions. It soon began to result
in bickering among them and at one point a full blown fight had occurred amongst two of the factions both leaders
becoming so hateful toward each other that they had nearly killed each other.
The end result of this had caused a war that lasted for nearly a decade until the third faction leader had stepped in, forcing
the both of them to form a truce. This truce decreed that all three factions were to not wage any form of war on exact other
unless absolutely necessary. After this war and the truce, none of the leaders had ever spoken a word towards each other
to this very day. Even after their deaths and being succeeded by their heirs, none of the future leaders would even meet
in council no more as a result of the truce.
However, territory wars have flared up amongst them at times, often when one Faction has overstepped the boundary of
the others. This hasn't resulted in any wars in all the years of the truce at all... yet.
{ FACTIONS OVERVIEW }
(Note that factions do not actually limit fully the possibility of jobs the Aitherion can have.)
Each of the factions are dedicated to a certain aspect of Vanthian society and abilities, being strong in a certain one
and weak in another. There are three factions, with the names following:
{{ Noctus | Lead by Malekai Osric
The Noctus Faction inhabits all of the northern regions of Vanthias that are controlled by them. They are known to be a rather
scholarly faction, dedicated to the use of Magic for beneficial and protective purposes. Usually, those within Noctus are mages,
mancers, alchemists, or powerful elementals that are recruited by the faction to be trained as a part of it.
Noctus members are usually very bitter mostly at the Sanctus faction members as a result of past skirmishes and territorial rivalry.
Sometimes, Noctus will go after any Sanctus or Luxos members and shoot them down should they overstep into their territory.
{{ Sanctus | Lead by Electra Fenian
Sanctus inhabits all of the eastern regions of Vanthias that is in their control. The Sanctus faction is disciplined in chivalry, knighthood
and warfare, often constantly training with sword and shield and sometimes a bit of elemental magic at times, however not as widely
used like Noctus does.
Those in Sanctus are mostly Knights, berserkers, guards, mercenaries, or rangers that scout and protect the Sanctus owned regions.
They have a mutual hatred of anyone affiliated with Noctus and may kill any who trespasses on Sanctus ground.
{{ Luxos | Lead by Azielle Delos
The third and final faction of them, the Luxos territories consist of the southern and western regions of Vanthias, that they patrol
constantly. Those within Luxos are dedicated to the sciences and technology, often developing stronger and powerful means to
protect their territory or to simply improve the quality of living. They may find favor from the other two due to trading some of
the items they come up with.
Mostly those in Luxos take up roles as scientists, technicians, researchers, and the like, often using their abilities as an advantage
over the other two factions.
Luxos general dislike or are very neutral towards the other two factions. Often this Faction will step in to stop a fight/skirmish
between Sanctus and Noctus. However they will not hesitate to kill any trespassers that dare peak theirs heads into Luxos territories.
