CTHALIA'S THREE FACTIONS

  The land of Cthalia is divided into three main factions, as well as areas of unclaimed territory that are shrinking by the day.

SACCHARINE EMPIRE

  Don't be deceived by the first of Cthalia's three countries.

  When you lay eyes on the Saccharine Empire, you'll immediately take note of the contrast before your eyes. Brightly colored candy buildings  and roads will look nothing if not unnatural when paired with an arsenal  of modernized weaponry. All around you will be candy soldiers without  heart or mind, each one exactly the same as the last. At the heart of  this dictatorship, a ruthless empress prepares for a war only she desires, and will let nothing stand in her way of achieving true control  over this divided land. 

  Watch your back, before it ends up pumped full of lead.

ASHHALLOW FOREST

  Be wary of your footing when exploring the woodland sections of Cthalia.

  At first entry, Ashhallow may seem like just another forest, but as you  trek deeper into the woods you'll find a number of things begin to feel  off. The trees will suddenly become far taller than usual, stretching  up as far as your eye can see. A light coat of mist will drift along the  darkened ground. Odd messages will be carved into the trees in  languages unknown. And to top it all off, everything will go silent.  It's simple to find your way into the forested faction, but once you  enter, there's no guarantee you'll make it out without the wizard's  permission.

  Watch your back, before it becomes tangled in vines.

COALMOORE

   Although Coalmoore may be a defense-oriented faction, that doesn't mean it can be considered a safe haven in the least.

   If the thick steel walls surrounding the city weren't enough to drive  you away, you'll soon find that the clockwork country isn't too keen on  outsiders... especially if they're organic beings. The city's resident  body consists of automata of all shapes and sizes, and sticks to a very  fixed schedule concerning what time of day you can do certain things,  and what time you can't. To top it all off, the city's head seems to  have no regard for anything living; if you weren't built to live in his  city, it's highly unlikely he'll care enough to let you inside.

  Watch your back, before your organic body makes you a complete outcast.
