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.

Where are you getting trans-blue spears from!? I did not know there were any,
they don't appear in any of my vast collection.
Also, in my kingdom I use the entire Ninja line (with black bows from Wild
West) for the Elves. The red ninjas are the Elven King's private guard, and I
use the Emperor for the Elven King (gold crown). The ninja swords make great
Elven blades, and since Elves wear lighter armor (in the books that matter
[Hail Tolkien]) you don't have to change the torso or the helmet. The samari
swordsman makes up the Elven Cavalry in their heavy armor.
As a side note, Dart Maul and Obi-Wan from the Episode one collection make
good Druids. My Mauls are all Nazgul riding winged steeds (black wings on
black horses). Rock Monsters are nice for Trolls or Stone Giants. I am still
working on the placement of all elements, but you can see that I am influenced
by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Happy Building!!!

The spear will be out soon (if not already in some areas) as part of the
newest Throwbot-Technic line. The one that has it is not technically (sorry
for the pun) a Throwbot, but it's marketing and design have the same features.
They are called "Robot Riders." The one that has the trans-lt-blue spears is
called "Frost," #8511, (notice the simular numbering?)I'm gonna buy up scads
of them.

Ah yes, I forgot about the goblins that live in the mountains to the south.
They use the grey mummy faces. :)
