Factions

The factions of Cairi is primarily divided between the two major warring leagues of the region: the Akeron Alliance, and the Palatine League. Those who don't align with these two major leagues of city-states are independant, and typically are not militaristic or simply are vassals of a greater power. The Akeron Alliance the Palatine League have been at war for over thirty years, and has had several cease-fires over the course of those years but have no sign of ending their endless war. The Great Cairian War has given birth to piracy in Cairi, as those stuck in poverty or running away from conscription in their homeland join pirate crews in search of a better future.

The Akeron Alliance
The Akeron Alliance is the alliance of cities that are led by Akers, The Alliance together has the largest land army of Cairi, with a navy dwarved by the Palatine League that is typically only used to protect merchant ships. The Akeron Alliance was founded thirty years ago in response to Palas' domination of the seas of Cairi, which has since slowly weakened as the war has dragged on. Membership to the Alliance promised equal protection from Palas, who had aggressively placed tariffs on now members of the Alliance in order to secure full protection of its monopoly on trade.

The Palatine League
The Palatin League is the group of cities lead by Palas, bolstered by the single largest navy in Cairi. While the Akeron army is primarily a massive army of foot soldiers with spears fashioned with red feathers and kite shields. the Palatine army was created to be small and mobile, mostly comprised of hit-and-run cavalrymen with axes and/or spears. The League was founded years before the Akeron Alliance, formerly a trade group made to compete with the merchants which now prefer to align with the Alliance. The League was founded out of profit, but now finds itself embroiled in a war against the Alliance who wishes to break the economic stability the League provides to its members.
