	[[The Order of the Watchful Eye\|The Watchful Eye]] was formerly a knightly order known as the Beady Eye, now a secret society of outcasts known for killing the king to take the throne over fifty years ago. [[Arania]] did not have a governor since then and [[Arlok ul-Dorn\|Arlok]], a survivor of the conflict against the order, mostly certainly didn’t want them around. The Watchful Eye has slowly been clawing back Arania, their ancestral province, and still harbors a grudge against [[Tagrana]] and the Royalist factions that support the former Crown. They can field knights with ancestral arms and have access to former elven separatists who were against [[Elvendeep]] being a province under Arlok’s rule, who they've remained close with after the civil war. The Watchful Eye has garnered quite a bit of influence and political power within the power structure of the duchy post civil war, though they by no means control it fully, yet. ~~Dollitrog~~'s position as Sithire has certainly helped this process.

	This ~~plot will revolve around~~ the power dynamics and conflicts inside the kingdom of [[Arangoth]]. This page will familiarize you with what types of characters are needed and which factions they may be from. The conflicts may result in ~~open war~~ between the ~~North~~ and ~~the South halves of the kingdom~~.		This page discusses the power dynamics and potential conflicts inside the former kingdom of [[Arangoth]]. This page will familiarize you with what types of characters are needed and which factions they may be from. The conflicts may result in potential schemes and scenarios between factions within the former kingdom and beyond.

	~~Before~~ Arangoth ~~was a kingdom, it was~~ a confederacy of ~~five~~ grand duchies ~~and so it still has five main areas to this day~~. They are Transdariania (the part with Drache), Arania (bordering Elvendeep), ~~Eastern (Far East, bordering Elgar),~~ Leptatarna (North, contains the ~~royal capital~~) ~~and~~ Ruthmarna (the middle part, with the gold mines). Each grand duchy has ~~several baronies~~ within it, run by ~~barons~~ and populated by all manner of folks that may turn the tide of the conflict.		The former kingdom of Arangoth consists of a confederacy of six grand duchies. They are [[Transdariania]] (the southern-most part with Drache), [[Arania]] (bordering Elvendeep), [[Leptatarna]] (North, contains the former Royal Capital), [[Ruthmarna]] (the middle part, with the gold mines) and [[Minkbrantha]] (formerly [[Outer Arangoth]], which borders [[Zul Kiras]]. Each grand duchy has its own power structures within it, which may be run by nobles and populated by all manner of folks that may turn the tide of the conflict.

	Types of characters ~~this plot can use~~. This list is not final and almost anyone can be creatively included.:		Types of characters involved in potential schemes in the region. This list is not final and almost anyone can be creatively included.:

	'''Nobles, Merchants''': Dukes are called Sithires and Barons are called Floxods. Nobles will have the most direct influence over the course of events.

	'''Assassins''': ~~Will~~ be hired to kill some NPC nobles/merchants and, if the player wants to, maybe PC nobles as well.		'''Assassins''': May potentially be hired to kill some NPC nobles/merchants and, if the player wants to, maybe even PC nobles as well.

	'''Courtiers, Advisors, Diplomats''': Not nobles but people who spend a lot of time around them, who can influence their ~~decisionmaking~~. They can affect the actions of major NPCs or PCs.

'''Priests, Holy Knights''': Warriors of Menxvan and perhaps other faiths are generally neutral but that's never stopped people from seeking their support.
