[@Lionhearted] That's perfect, actually. Are the officers and commanders of the Thelannian military knights etc? Or would a rank more like Captain suit an officer?

Damn, I'm torn between a sorceress and an officer, now.

Okay cool! The officer would be similar to captains in a sense where the officer has their own squad of soldiers at their command. Whereas the commander (the next rank up) designates soldiers to officers, helps to strategize attacks, commands officers and their squads, etc.

I love this gif because it actually gives a cool example! I think it's stolen from GoT, but oh well. Anyway -- the knight on the right would be from Alovia. Notice his traditional knight armor as well as a unique fighting style that he's using. On the left could be a militant of Thelan - his light armor could fall under any of the militants: Thelannian soldier, Viking of Moore, or even a Baldori Militant. Thelan DOES have their own knights with a similar getup as the Alovian knight, but they're not as big as the Alovian Knighthood. 

So for Alovian Knights - think similar to the [url=https://78.media.tumblr.com/f1b8ae6e30523c4ab9af99e69ee0fe6a/tumblr_o8tgq5YYVq1sio0ido4_r1_500.gif]Wardens[/url] in the game For Honor. 

For the Thelannian Militants, think your average medieval soldiers. Their military consists of the diverse, standard medieval army whereas Alovia has their three, huge legions that dominate their battlefield (The Rogues, The Witches, and the Alovian Knights). Alovia does consist of the standard medieval soldiers as well. Thelan has their [url=https://i2.wp.com/media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/20/19555/spug1b.jpg?w=1080]spearmen[/url], swordsmen, archers, [url=https://i2.wp.com/i.pinimg.com/736x/9a/b7/62/9ab76226dc68c96bdd92a8c2359e9072--medieval-swords-fantasy-weapons.jpg?w=1080&ssl=1]crossbowmen[/url], [url=https://ferrebeekeeper.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/img_3791.jpg?w=1080]billmen[/url], militia, and even knights(though they have a much different and less strict fighting style as the Alovian Knights). Thelan is also huge on their siege weapons whereas Alovia lacks greatly in. Thelan also has countermagic gems and regents to null Alovia's Witches. 

I hope this clears things up!

[@Lionhearted] would the viking of moore tolerate having someone with magic among them if it's one of their own? I'm thinking of a viking born with magic but he's kept around as some kind of shaman mage or something as a counter to the witches from the witch hut's. 

or alternatively he gets exiled, joins the witches, and hates his own people for it.

or maybe I'll try to think of something else if that's not possible.

Hmm, very interesting ideas! I like it! I think both could definitely be possible! 

If your character is born of the vikings whom is a user of magic, they would immediately question his parents to see if one of them is of Alovia, since Alovian people are usually the carriers of the gene. Although - the Isle of Moore is known for it's strange, magical essence, so it's very possible for a user of magic to be born in their land through more spiritual reasons. Thus, there would probably be an ongoing debate with the individual - keep him or exile him. If he were to be kept within the Isle of Moore as a subordinate, then he'd probably experience a lot of racial slurs and harassment from the people. How old would your character be? How recent would he realize he is a user of magic?

This makes me realize that I should probably create the religion for the vikings and better explain the magic essence within their lands.

We could probably get some ideas with this! Send me a PM and we can establish this idea :p
