With special thanks to <b>Eric Dallaire</b> of <a href="http://www.reflexive.net">Reflexive</a>, and <b>Jessica</b> and rest of the background gang over at <A href="Http://www.blackisle.com">Black Isle</a>, we've just posted the first article in our series devoted to the factions in <A href="http://lionheart.blackisle.com">Lionheart</a>. The first faction presented is <A href="http://www.rpgcodex.com/content.php?id=59">The Wielders</a>:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Long before the Inquisition assumed total control of Europe, the Wielders shared power with the Knights Templar and King Richard the Lionhearted. Their potent magic helped keep the dark forces from the civilized cities. However, a small group of scheming Wielders, unable to resist the temptations of power, took control of a large swath of Spain. Afraid of their growing influence, the Inquisition gathered their own forces and moved against the Wielders, initiating the bloody <I>Reconquista</I>. The battle lasted many years, but by 1275 the Wielders were driven underground. Defeated and hated, the Wielders never recovered their lost power.</blockquote>

OMFG! Gaoled!

This article has got to be the most verbose and revealing article about the game's factions than anything else ever released.

Keep up the good writing.

 

[Vault Dweller]

Agree. That's some mighty fine writing, not to mention it sounds absolutely awesome. Here is a cool idea though: why don't they release the game right now instead of waiting till Aug? :D

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

Because I need more time to pimp the factions, obviously. Like duh!

 

[Vault Dweller]

I said it before and I will say it again, you have a totally wicked sense of humor, Saint.

 

[Spazmo]

Great article. This really makes me want to play Lionheart. Who will the next one be on?

 

[Ausir]

Maybe the secret faction that i shouldn't talk about or Cabal will kill me?

 

[Sol Invictus]

Wow, I'd certainly hope so. That'd be a really kickass piece to reveal.

 

[Ausir]

Nah, let at least that one thing be a secret until the game is out .

 

[Spazmo]

Time travelling Nazis, right?

 

[Ausir]

Hey! You weren't supposed to reveal that!
