Faction: The Confederacy

The Confederacy of Independant States:
Languages: Neogi, Undercommon, Ogre, Southern, Common, Nomadic
The Confedaracy is quite simply a gaggle of Neogi despots with a promise to ally with each other in case of invasion. It is what is left of the Stellar Remnant, a strong empire of Neogi that was ruled by a powerful monarch. Gathered toghether they could more than likely conquer the continent, but that is unlikely given thier petty conflicts.

The Neogi arrived on the planet about 8 centuries ago, when their spacecraft crashed into the southern portion of the Celestial Empire. Using their supernatural powers and alien technology, they swiftly took over that area, and proceded to north to conquer the rest of the Humans. They were stopped in the deserts due to the harsh conditions, and in the Northern Empire by a surprising show of unity and force. Powerful adventurers from both the Clans and the Empire invaded the alien capital of Sinanni, and slew the monarch and his attendent councilers, plunging the Remnant into chaos. A civil war occured, with the factions signing a final treaty of armastice to prevent their extinction at the hands of the humans.

The Neogi do not have a standing armed force. In times of crises, they band toghether against human enemies through their informal alliance. This consists of sending their brawniest,orneriest most expendable slaves into battle; mostly giants of sometype or another. Even if they lose control, most of their warriors are blood thirsty and stupid enough to carry out fighting the humans alone. More intelligent workers that have a chance of turning on thier masters and joining the enemy, are kept away and working.

Allies:
The Kelton family, a once powerful ruling clan that turned to necromancy, has brokered a deal of protection from the Neogi- armed services in exchange for bodies, magical goods and assistance in controlling resisters. To the civilized nation's dismay, tales of undead and Neogi working side by side have cropped up.

The undead and the Neogi see each other as wary equals. To fight each other, both must resort to brute strength and attrition through thralls. Such an act is wasteful. In this case, they ally against the 'lesser' races, which they can dominate at whim through mind control or pestilence.
