The Federation of Rannoria has been split!
The north and south of Rannoria have always been ethnically different. Their culture, dialects, etc. have always been different. When Rannoria turned into a federation, the two sides have ironically been driven further apart. There are two representatives for each side, and both of them have experience, but the north had lead.
There were rumors though, that the central ruler, Grand Hebrus Genti, was finally deciding on what side should be the stronger and leading power, while the other one was just minor. The south knew that they would lose due to their representative's lack of experience, so they killed the north's representative to gain the lead, or did they?
A citizen from the south was talking to a news reporter from the central of Rannoria, he said, "WHAT? This is crazy! How could you accuse us southern people for killing an innocent man. Sure, we may be jealous, and we might lose most of our ethnicity and culture to the northerners, but kill their representative?!" The person pauses, "Surely there can be an explanation for this, but we didn't do it!"
A journalist from the north yells out, "LIES! ALL LIES! You filthy people! Killing our representative, which we hold oh dear so. You killed him so we wouldn't have an experienced rep, then you would take over! I think he's faking it, it's so obvious. I may be a journalist, but you HAVE to believe me. What else can kill our representative, besides natural causes. I say WAR!"
Both sides prepare for war, but each side has their own belief.
North: More democratic. They believe that everyone has the right to vote. They have 'The Eternal Law', which restricts the leader from doing certain things, due to most northern leaders being corrupt (Excluding south and central). They do allow slavery though, but only up to a certain amount of slaves. They live under a socialist economy. They are hardly religous, and cults are banned. Death penalty is not allowed. This side is more modern, but the people aren't too happy.
South: More monarchist, with aristocracy. It is traditional for southern people to have kings. They don't have an 'Eternal Law', but the Mountain guard usually disposes the king if the king is bad. Usually the kings are nice, but the aristocrats are sometimes harsh. Slavery is allowed. They are capitalist, the people are somewhat religious and cults are not banned, but frowned upon. Each cult must follow certain rules. There is death penalty. This side is slightly less modern, but more cultured.
Sides:
North
South
Mercs. (But you cannot always ally with one side, and your forces must be smaller than average)
[Central is not active in this war, it is more like a safehaven]
I will be part of both north and south, and I am not allowed to bias.
That means half of the time I have to RP to myself.
I will control the aristocrats (besides player controlled ones) and the northerners.
