TW for war and other not great civil war stuff (Think Spanish civil war kinds of bad...)

A fantasy world I have been working on the past few years. Immerse yourself in the land of Lycanthria, engulfed by the flames of a 3 way civil war that threatens to disrupt the status quo of the surrounding monarchies and kingdoms. Setting is basically if Napoleonic Europe, The American Revolution and DND had a crack baby. We got flintlocks, crossbows, magic and so much more to offer here.

The Factions of Lycanthria:

(The Royalists)
The "legitimate" government of Lycanthria. Led by the remnants of the royal family after a deadly coup attempt, these forces are primarily composed of elves either serving the military or loyal to the royal family. Having lost control of the royal city, the Loyalists have moved to a temporary capital on the coast. They have the largest and highest quality arsenal among the three factions, with artillery being used as a great defensive and offensive tool. But due to the lack of popularity amongst the general populace the Loyalists lack manpower, forcing them to be more defensive as they try to gain strength or support. Their leader, Queen Siora of House Herran, was a princess when the coup happened, and after all her brothers and her parents were slain, she had to assume the throne swearing to avenge her family.

(The Peoples United Front)
Led by the charismatic and ambitious Aymon Beilen, the Peoples United Front attempted to overthrow the monarchy roughly 2 years ago now. They were partially successful, taking a large amount of land and killing around half the royal family including the King, Queen and the male heirs to the throne. The end goal is to create a communist style utopia for the working class and common folk, where the people are led by the people and not some monarchy. What they lack in modern weapons they make up for in sheer manpower, often leading to bloody battles where many underequipped revolutionaries will just death charge until the defenders are overrun.

(The Tribal Liberation Council)
Before Lycanthria even existed, this island was inhabited not by elves or humans or even dwarfs for that manner. No, this untamed land was populated by a large amount of lizardfolk living hunter gatherer lifestyles. When the first Elven explorers arrived they greeted them with open arms, happy to meet new people and hoping for beneficial prosperity. That lasted for oh... about a year? Before the elves sent a whole fleet of their biggest warships and swathes of soldiers carrying foreign weapons called "flintlocks" to conquer and subjugate the lizardfolk. Decades of slavery, banishment and stripping away of land have finally taken its toll, so when the communists tried to overthrow the government, a secret council of all of the tribes convened and declared themselves independent. They are often stuck using less modern weapons, such as bows and swords and are the lowest in terms of total population, but they have a high affinity with the arcane arts.

So... What mark can you leave on this world? Will you help the Queen avenge her fallen family? Will you become a spearhead of the revolution hoping to create a Marxist utopia? Will you help the natives reclaim their land? Or will you just try to survive or even profit from the chaos. Only time will tell...

2nd Attempt for an event bot, and I somehow spent an hour and a half on this while getting stoned... Average night for me to be honest. I want to thank y'all for 35 followers, and I might do a community suggested bot for 100 subs so start thinking about a bot request if I do choose to go through with it (if we even hit 100). Don't know how well this is gonna work, coded this baby stoned and making the flags and map at the same time so eh.

As always... I hope ye enjoy
