The Protector's War (An Emberverse Mod Proposal)

[Darkhawk764]

I'd like to propose a mod based on the Emberverse sci-fi/fantasy series, which is a series of novels set in the Northwest United States. In the events of the first novel, a sudden event, called the Change, causes all post-medieval technology to fail, including gunpowder and electricity, and rockets the world back into the Dark Ages, the age of steel and sweat.

The mod would be set at the beginning of the Protector's War novel, and would contain spoilers for Dies the Fire, the first in the series. If you are interested in reading the series, I suggest you stop reading now.

The factions (that I've sussed out so far) are as follows. I am also considering proposing other factions depending on the demand for this mod:

The Bearkillers
Clan Mackenzie
Portland Protectors Association (PPA)
Central Oregon Rancher's Association (CORA)
Clan Mackenzie
Corvallis
Mount Angel
Bandits
United States of Boise (USB)

I am also considering adding the Dunedan Rangers, although I'm not sure if they had been 'recognized' by the Bearkillers, Clan Mackenzie, and Mount Angel yet. If anyone is interested in details, feel free to message me or to comment on this thread. I look forward to hearing from you!

I'm going to start posting information on the factions as they are thought-out and developed, starting with the Bearkillers.

The Bearkillers have a close relationship with Clan Mackenzie, due to the illegitimate child between Mike Havel and Juniper Mackenzie. The Bearkillers use advanced Post-Change technology, invented by Kenneth Larsson, in combat to their advantage. Their focus is on slow, heavily-armored units, including their elite A-Lister Archer Cavalry. The Bearkiller symbol is a red bear’s head.

Their flag is white antlers on green, with a white flag between the antlers.

The Portland Protective Association is the largest nation in the Willamette Valley, controlling the most land and containing the largest population. Led by the maniacal Lord Protector Norman Arminger, the Association is based off of the Norman-English nobility. The economy lies heavily on slave and serf labor, and any fleeing serfs and slaves are ruthlessly hunted down and often killed. The PPA military is elite, with a focus on heavily-armored Portland Knights, mounted jousters who can run crush an unarmored enemy with ease. The PPA flag, known as the ‘Lidless Eye’, is inspired by Sauron’s eye from The Lord of the Rings.
