I have numerous factions within my lego castle world.
1) Crownies - The kingdom lays to the west, and is currently my largest factions (est. 34 soldiers). They are the main force against the Dark Lord and his minions.
2) Royal Knights - The kingdom lays to the south east of the Crownies (est. 24 soldiers). It consists of the Royal and Crusader lego groups (soon to include the new Kingdom knights, which will make this kingdom the largest in my set). They have warred with the Crownies in the past, however due to the threat of the Dark Lord, an alliance has been formed.
3) Rangers (Forestmen) - No loyalty to any faction, except the to the highest bidder. They fought with the Royal Knights as scouts during the war with the Crownies, however, now they are scouts for the Crownies. (6 soldiers).
4) Bat Knights - The kingdom lays to the North East, in the Mountains (14 soldiers, mostly Calvary). This faction includes the Bull Knights. They fight for the Dark Lord.
5) Imperials - This faction is to the south of the Crownies. (14 soldiers). They are allied with the Crownies due to the trade amongst the two factions.
6) Northmen (vikings) - This faction lays to the North. They are brutal, strong fighters. The king only cares for plundering and pillaging. Not much is known of them, except their limited interactions with the Crownies. They'd attack settlements then leave before the Crownie King could counter-attack. It is thought that they may be in alliance with the Dark Lord.
7) Dwarves - This faction is to the west of the Crownies, in the mountains. (10 soldiers). They are allied with the Crownies due to the trade amongst the two groups.
8) Dark Lord - The Dark lord and his minions, consisting of Orcs, Trolls, Undead, and Evil Men lays to the east. (est. 40 soldiers). The Dark Lord is attempting to collect all mythical relics to gain ultimate power. The Dark Lord is the supreme evil in my lego castle world.
9) Arabs/Persians - This kingdom lays to the far east. (est. 30 soldiers). It is made up of PoP and Indiana Jones sets. They trade extensively with the imperials. The Crownies have sent emissaries to the far east to rally support. However, the Dark Lord has already sent men, as it is rumored the Caliph has in possession a powerful weapon (i.e., dagger).
11) Thieves (WolfPack) - This guild exists within the Crownie kingdom. (6 soldiers). They stay within the shady underbelly of the kingdom realm, mostly, however some are adventurous, and all are expert blades-men.
12) Hobbits - These are peaceful people, located in the valley east of the Crownies. (5 hobbits). Recently, this settlement has gained the attention of the Dark Lord as it is rumored that one hobbit may have stumbled across an ancient treasure.
13) Wizards - These are the wise men of the castle world. (4 wizards; white, grey, blue, black). Some ally with factions, others maintain their neutrality, instead passing on wisdom and advice to the different factions.
14) Black Falcons - This small factions (8 soldiers) is allied with the Royal Knights. The Black Falcon Lord was given the land after his valor in battle in the services of the Royal King. The Black Falcon Lord's Manor is located North of the Royal Knights.
15) Black Knights/Dragon Masters - This faction is located to the Northwest of the Crownies. There is an uneasy alliance between the Black Knights and the Crownies. (est. 24 soldiers).
