  • the Council will have one more member (probably affects only lore?)
  • The Royal Knights will come out of retirement (Faction has a lot more High-Level Units)
  • The attitude towards mages is less hostile, no more "Driving out Mages" Quests, will be changed to "Take care of Mage-Bandits" (name needs to be work-shopped)
    
  • Mages can now appear as mercenaries (very rarely) to provide support to the Faction
