The Greater Tosa
This obsidian-hued banner bears the proud emblem of a falcon at its center, the heraldic symbol of the Tosa clan who once held dominion over the entirety of Shikkoku island. The flag's design evokes the mighty sight of Tosa's formidable archers and musketeers, whose reputation for martial excellence echoed across the Fractured Lands of Japan. During the Age of Arrogance, the Tosa were feared as relentless raiders, their swift naval assaults and guerrilla campaigns bringing ruin to the Greater Aki Dominion's coastal holdings. The clan's internal strife—between traditionalist nobility clinging to bow-mastery and progressive militarists embracing the power of firearms—ultimately weakened their grip on power. The Heavenly Empress Yamatagi exploited this division ruthlessly, conquering Tosa and folding their legendary warriors into her Western Imperial Army as elite marksmen and infiltrators. Bearing this banner carries the weight of both glorious independence and bitter subjugation, a reminder of martial prowess

The Yamatai Clan
This deep indigo banner bears a resplendent golden moon crest at its center, serves as the heraldic symbol of one of the realm's most storied and formidable dynasties. The Yamatai have ruled the Tōhoku territories since antiquity when many barbarians tribes fought for dominance,until the Great Unification by the Yamatai tribe. The golden moon in their banner represents an ancient goddess of war of the barbarians,a sacred simbol very well known in northern japan. The Yamatai command vast provinces under the Eastern Shogunate's authority and remain steadfast allies to the Earthly Shogun Orochi. The clan's fearsome reputation stems from its composition of numerous violent warbands whose fierce independence has historically sparked internal strife, though the latest daimyō, Yashamaru, has managed to consolidate their chaotic nature into disciplined martial force. A dark curse runs through Yamatai bloodlines, tracing back to the failure of the 4 clans coalition against Orochi that ended with the Cabal of the Crimson Blood—condemned to a neverending hunger,the Yamatai who succumb to starvation or consume human flesh lose themselves entirely to ravenous, cannibalistic madness. The clan maintains an unbreakable bond with their neighboring Murakami of Sagami, bound by mutual defense since ancient times,often providing Yamatai Daimyōs equipment to resist the curse,in change for their military might to offset the Murakami's lack of military manpower. Their army is the most violent of the Eastern Shogunal Army and often acts as the vanguard troops that pave the way for the main strike force.

This crimson banner bears the proud crest of an eastern dragon rendered in pristine white at its center, representing the Abyssal Serpent Yuudachi,guardian deity of the Greater Aki Dominion.its threads woven with the essence of countless naval victories. the clan is ruled by the Kobayakawa family, mightiest of the western clans and undisputed rulers of the chūgoku region, whose naval dominion remains unmatched throughout the realm. Few know the true source of the Kobayakawa's extraordinary power: an ancient pact forged between Minamoto Kobayakawa and the Heavenly Empress Yamatagi that birthed a bloodline of remarkable heritage, blending mortal and Visitorq essence in ways the common people attribute to divine blessing alone. Within certain male heirs of this line, the Yamatagi blood awakens with overwhelming force during their formative years, transforming them into girls and summoning forth Yuudachi from his sleep, the Abyssal Serpent familiar of the Water Elemental King itself,effectively becoming their priestess. It was exactly thanks to Yuudachi that the ryūkyū islands could be finally conquered. Under the guide of Kagerō Kobayakawa,the Okinawa mighty pirates fleet was finally destroyed,furtherly expanding the Aki Dominion. A strong land power when supported by its allies and terrifying on sea,the Greater Aki Dominion is without any doubt the pillar that keeps the Western Imperial Army together.

The Tiberian League
This ceremonial banner bears three vertical stripes of golden yellow flanking a central field of pristine white, upon which is emblazoned a stylized crimson wolf—the proud symbol of Rome and its legendary river Tiber which became the core of this new nation born from the ashes of the Papacy. The League rose to prominence as a cornerstone member of the Rhineland United Front, earning its place through the legendary heroism of the Seven Spears of Mount Grappa, whose valiant last stand turned the tide against the Blighted Vanguard's first incursion into the Italian peninsula. By lending a hand to the exhausted and dissatisfied Po Coalition towards their king,they succeeded in overthrowing the Northern Italian Kingdom,assimiliating its industrial complexes and increasing their sphere of influence. by joining the Rhineland United Front, the League secured dominion over southern Italian territories granted by the Iberian Overseas Empire in exchange for access to the strategic italian ports, so to make total control of the Mediterrean Sea that much easier. A beacon of intellectual advancement, the League has cultivated a reputation for innovation and military engineering knowledge through its partnership with the Visitorq Krul, attracting scholars and artificers from across the realm. The nation maintains a lean but exceptionally disciplined force of elite mercenary companies and renowned mountaineers, preferring to leverage the formidable military might of its Gallian ally. Under the leadership of the Pontiff Cesare,this new italian nation will show this world full of darkness its bright splendor.

The Iberian Oversea Empire
This grand flag bears the colors of a unified realm spanning two great kingdoms—three horizontal stripes of crimson and amber that ripple like the very waves conquered by its fleets. At its center, a mystical emblem depicts a verdant crescent moon cradled within a golden sun, a symbol of the empire's joint dominion of Portugal and Spain over both Old World and distant colonial territories across the Oversea expanse. Born from the merger of two crowns following the fall of the Visitorq, this banner once flew proudly over vast holdings in the southern reaches of the world, a testament to an age of unparalleled maritime supremacy and golden prosperity. The sudden severance of contact with these distant colonies following the cataclysmic invasion of the Blighted Vanguard in Europe shattered the empire's unity, claiming even the life of Emperor Carlos in his desperate bid to restore the connection. Now under the regency of Fernando and the young sovereigns Luka and Zaria, the empire endures through crisis and transformation, its Marines gave their contribution during the Miracle of the Rhineland,together with the Tiberian League and the Gallian Military Junta. After that battle,the Iberian Empire became the second member of the Rhineland United Front. Since then the Empire concentrated its efforts into upgrading their mighty navy and marines, using the Tiberian ports to secure the mediterrean routes in vision of possible operations in Africa and trying to break off the rigorfrosted English Channel,in order to make landfall in Britain and understand what the Visitorq Vidar plotter there,as all the exchanges were cut off following the Great Invasion. The Iberian Oversea Empire is a core member of the surviving Europe,as their naval knowledge will prove instrumental once whaetever lurks in the Atlantic Ocean will be finally dealt with.

The Visitorq
Woven from crimson silk, this standard bears a spectral mark: 4 stars forged from cosmic light, the sacred icon of the Supreme Flatty—sovereign of the Visitorq and monarch of ancient Tiāmat. According to chronicle and the solemn confessions wrung forth during Pontiff Cesare’s interrogation of the Visitorq Krul, this banner echoes the memory of an ancient entity: a supreme order that held mankind in thrall for millennia. The earliest recorded whispers of their passage trace back to the dawn of Sumer, inaugurating five thousand years of tyrannical dominion known to history as the Age of Arrogance. Whether these beings descended from the stars or awoke from the depths of the Earth remains veiled in mystery. Yet Krul revealed that every Visitorq is born with a primal talent, honed only through three grim avenues: Slaying a Visitorq of greater power than oneself. Bending kin into absolute subjugation. Receiving the adoration and worship due to a deity. Among their ranks, the ten most formidable were revered as the Rulers, entities whose latent power could warp and shatter the very laws of reality. History recalls only a portion of their names: Flatty, Zauli, Vidar, Zoraya, Glasse, Yamatagi, Orochi, and Krul—with two remaining lost to shadow. It is whispered that the divine pantheons of antiquity were but fractured memories of these ten beings. During the Age of Arrogance, Flatty bound the scattered Visitorq through slaughter and submission, forging Tiāmat—a global hegemony designed to shepherd humanity from the shadows toward a sinister destiny. Yet this grand dominion met a catastrophic end. Krul orchestrated a ruinous schism, causing the empire to collapse like a house of cards. From the ashes rose hostile, fractured remnants—chief among them Cocytus, a rebel legion led by Vidar, the Third Ruler. Sensing their oppressors' vulnerability, humanity rose up, plunging the world into a brutal, three-sided war. Exhausted by bloodletting, both Tiāmat and the rebellion

The 7 Gaia Spires
A document written by the Tiberian inquisition during a friendly interrogation of the 10th Ruler Krul,regarding the 7 Gaia Spires. Erected during the Age of Arrogance, these seven monumental spires rest upon the world's most potent ley line convergences. Constructed by the ancient Visitorq, these grand conduits harvest Gaia energy—the primordial life-force of the earth, possessing a magnitude that eclipses all mortal alchemy and arcana. Once the supreme lifeblood of the Visitorq and guarded by Tiāmat, control of the spires shattered during the civil war of the Age of Decadence. Today, these conduits are the ultimate prize in a desperate struggle between Mankind, the fragmented Visitorq, and the Blighted Vanguard. Whoever commands them holds the destiny of the world. The Spire of the Stars (Neo Roma, Italy) — Tiberian League Former seat of the Supreme Flatty. Left dormant for a century and a half following her defeat, its power was funneled into the Rhineland United Front’s war engine. It stirred to full awakening when Tiāmat remnants liberated their fallen leader. The Lunar Spire (Norway) — Tiāmat Domain of Zoraya and sanctuary for the remnants of the European sect of Tiāmat. Here, Glasse and Flatty bide their time, scheming to reclaim their lost empire. The Giudecca Spire (York, Great Britain) — Cocytus Claimed by Vidar shortly before the Great Invasion, this tower stands entombed in permanent rime, casting a frozen pall across the realm. The Indigo Spire (Sekigahara, Japan) — Contested A focal point of endless strife throughout the Age of Decadence; total dominance over Japan hinges on the clash between the Western Imperial and Eastern Shogunate Armies.
