When King Dublaff dies and appoints his third son, Prince Pardath, King of Kameroth, Pardath's brothers disapprove of the decision and wish to take the kingdom for themselves. Pardath, along with his Loyalist Faction will protect Kameroth at all costs.

The first-born son, Athog, outraged by his father's decision leads an insurgency against his brother and leads the Rebel Faction in an attempt to claim Kameroth for himself.

The wealthy families of the kingdom cannot have a change in the leadership so they decide to fund Prince Binville's army who is the Mercenary Faction.

As the Civil War in Kameroth wages on, the powerful Balundian Empire also wishes to claim Kameroth for their own. They lead the Ant Empire Faction. 

Aside from all these different Factions fighting, the fumble King Xablog invades the kingdom in an attempt to claim its resources. He leads the Mushroom Faction against the Kingdom of Kameroth. 

The whole kingdom is in outrage and every Faction won't stop until they have the Throne of Kameroth.
