First look at Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord's factions alongside some personal interpretation. Minor factions, internal clans, and a collapsing Empire awaits players in Taleworld's current project.

Here is the list of factions that will be in Bannerlord:

- Vlandians
- Sturgians
- Battanians
- Aserai
- Khuzaits
- Calradian Empire

In this video I approach the factions as being direct predecessors to the factions we see in Mount&Blade and Mount&Blade: Warband, but I was told by a friend at Taleworlds that this is not strictly the case! Some of the later Kingdoms might have come about as a mix of some of the factions presented in Bannerlord.

Mount&Blade II: Bannerlord description from TW website:
The once-mighty Calradic Empire is in a state of decline. Warlike tribes have seized swaths of its territory. Client kingdoms have declared their independence. The Emperor has died without leaving an heir, leaving three jealous factions to scramble for power. Mercenary companies, bandit lords and nomads hover on the sidelines like vultures waiting for a meal.

A hero who can master the art of single combat, of leading armies in battle, of plotting ambushes and raids, and of exploiting the rivalries of noble houses and tribal clans may be able to unite this Empire -- or, alternately, to deal it the final blow that sends it crashing down. Will Calradia experience one final sunset of imperial glory, or slip into a night of chaos before a new age dawns?
