Oh right let me have a think then

You have the City States which are pretty much the normal Lawful types
These are The Dutchy of Trinsic - DoT, Vesper - V, Barony of Cove - BoC, Guardsmen Militia - Grd ( these are based around a player town close to Yew, the others around their respectfive towns ).The Community of Skara Brae.


Good Types
Knights Templar - KT
Knights of Virtue - KoV
Knights Hospitaller - KH
The Elven - EV

All three of the Knight Guilds are not very active atm, but they are still around.

Neutral Types
The ShadowCourt - SCT ( adventurers who deal with the Balance and Magic )
House of Tremere - Tre ( a house of vampires and their associates )
L'Orbdrinus Quarth - Q^Q ( a neutral drow guild i believe )
Pirates of Buccs Den
Vesper Trade Company - VTC


Evil
Floh'len d'Lloth - F^L ( Drow Guild )
Knights of Dark Renown - ( Some newly appeared Knights, stuck them here going on just what i have been told IC about them ).


Thats the main ones that come to mind, apologies if i missed anyone as this i took from the top of my head.


Thats the guilds anyway, as for characters well the realm is made up of a lot of fun and often interesting people...the best way is i think just to get out there and meet them. Then make your own mind up.
