My world isn't as fleshed out yet as yours (since it's only in planning
stages until my space creation is done), but here are the factions in store:
Kingdom of Mitteland, ruled by King Frederik I and his son the Prince. This
is the main setting for goings-on. The King's men bear the gold lion.
Frederik's men garison several outposts throughout the land. The king also
has a private orchard and forest, in which he hunts stag.
Duke of Falkmir -- the Duke is subservient to the King, but he has his own
soldiers, the Order of the Silver Falcon.
Earl of Caer Drak -- the Earl and his army bear the emblem of a dragon.
They too serve the King, circumstances allowing.
The Woodspeople -- said to carry within their veins the blood of a long-lost
Elven race, the Woodsmen and their king live in the Dark Forest on the
western fringe of the kingdom, holding feasts and dabbling in elven-magic.
Sometimes they get along with Frederik's men, sometimes not. These are made
up of forestment and dark forest minifigs.
Bandits -- bandits inhabit the wooded regions to the southwest. Some
believe that they have a secret stronghold in the caves. Bandits will be
made up of various pieces from castle and wild west.
The Alpine Kingdom -- though sparsely populated, the imposing snowy
mountains to the north are the location of a mystical castle and it's king.
The Alpine King's Guard carry magical ice spears (trans blue). They wear
black, white, and blue, and their carts are drawn by tamed polar bears. The
Alpine King is said to have many powers, but he and his men rarely make
contact with the outside world.
The Army of the Dark Tower -- one day, a magical black tower mysteriously
appears in the Mistlands to the east. Their Dark Lord and his men ride
black dragons and wear the black fright knight helmets. They also wear
Ninja wrappings to hide their visages.
