Major Organizations in Ningonde

There are several organizations around the world of Ningonde, each with its own agenda, and means to achieve it. An adventurer would do well to keep in mind the nuances of each group when dealing with different factions, armies, and nations. This page reflects your current level of discovery. As you learn more about these organizations, this page will expand accordingly.

The Kingdom of Alendaria
A vast kingdom located in the heart of the resource-rich continent of Asland, Alendaria is a major player in the world of Ningonde. As the leader of a vast network of city-states, The Alendarian crown carries significant weight in matters of policy, diplomacy, and war.

The Empire of Cirathien
Without the resource wealth of its Aslandian neighbors, Cirathien was forced to adapt. The nation thrived on the relative scarcity of Strovia, and built a war machine like few Ningonde has seen in its history. With a military that fears no rival, Cirathien has carved a powerful position in world politics due simply to the fact that it can enforce its will, violently if necessary, any time it wants.

The Order of The Heavenly Sword
A fearsome army of religious zealots driven forth by the memory of Lyanna, the Divine Hammer. The Order is a powerful force, and it has a history of bloodshed that makes it an enemy of any good kingdom. Since the disappearance of Lyanna over 400 years ago, The Order has done its best to survive, finding outposts and strongholds in the fringes of the world.

The Fayth
A religious order. Little is known about them. They are the creators of the small ruby disc the crew of the Corsair recently stole back, and have known strongholds throughout the eastern part of Ningonde. The Fayth use these small discs as ritual "keys", though little is known about how or why they are used.

The Order of Bamasis, Godess Of Health
An order of healers that resides in the Cirathean empire. Bamasis is worshipped as a figure of health and renewal, and her temples are houses of wellness and care for the sick. The priests are known to be welcoming, even to strangers, and the order takes vows of asceticism, living off the charity of visitors and the patronage of the Cirathean crown. While they have missionaries, the Order of Bamasis has failed to spread beyond Cirathien, as other nations tend to reject the Cirathean pantheon and religions. Bamasian priests, however, are known to travel on Cirathean war ships as healers of the wounded, though they make a point of abstaining from combat.
