The rich:

Rich people, outside of being born to a rich family, often are merchants and hire their own workers, are high-ranking officials of the religion, or get supported by the religion for whatever reason. Rich people are considered to be blessed by Dantea and surprisingly while having it more easy, live as anyone else, eating the same food and living in the same houses. Most of the time.

The poor:

While poor are common, it´s not a problem to get by and maybe save some money. Those devoted enough often get supported by the religion.

Military:

Their military doesn't go much in-depth. They employ basic strategies and unit types.

Military structures:

Military structures include defensive structures, housing and places of operation for the military.

• They are: Signal tower, Keep, Barracks 
  
  

Military officials:

Military officials are officers and soldiers of the military, either full time or only during an emergency.

• They are: Rookie, Guard/ Warrior, Knight, Captain, Commander
  
  

Defense strategies:

The military doesn't attack other factions (most of the time), so they only have a defense plan. When enemy raiders are spotted, a local Signal tower is lit up an soldiers are sent in. Meanwhile, local guards slow down the raiders, so the locals can get to the Keep and wait for things to be over.

Faction issues/struggles:

Orphan problem:

Because of the constant Servants of the blood gods raids, many children are left orphaned. Many are taken in by families and the local Temple of Dantea, but they are becoming full, leaving many orphans out on their own. Many of whom don't survive to adulthood. The rest become criminals, join cults or are kidnapped.
