Northern Iron - Factions: The Marauders!

The Northern Iron setting takes place in a Northern England ravaged by a war between three factions, The Northern Resistance, The Sons of Iron and The Marauders.

The Marauders are one of two warbands that player must fight over the course of the game's story, mostly appearing in the northern most nations, including most of Yorkshire.

The Marauders are made up of multiple smaller gangs and clans, that have sworn allegiance to The Crimson Teeth clan. (Although many clans only pay lip service to this "oath") And as such are the most visually diverse faction in the game, although they usually have banners coloured red to signify their presence.

The leader of The Crimson Teeth is Anita El Draque self proclaimed Pirate Queen. She pilots a giant fortress mech called Saltburn Castle, which is essentially a mechanised version of the Zetland Hotel.

Within the playable levels we are creating, the player also comes into contact with another marauder clan known as the Nasti Moons. The Nasti Moons are from the north midlands and are made up of ex-miners and brewers.

The leader of the Nasti Moon clan is Boozelord Huntley, an ex-miner from Nottinghamshire and brewer. He and his clan provides alcohol to Anita's empire.

Marauder mechs are characterised by their shoddy scrap built frames and poor construction.
