Mainly comprised of current and former legionaries, The Stone Dragons have proclaimed the Elder Dragon, Vorac'nath'al, is Tallest One, in light of both her physical size and centuries-spanning displays of power. The movement's leaders have gathered at Heightsmaw, in the low hills of southeast Gilgas, which is closest to the country's border with Voran.

The Sons of the Trueborn have gathered in Whiterock and proclaimed that ROGO, despite being indisposed since the Battle of Summoner's Plain, remains Tallest One. Their contingent is the largest of the three factions, but is also the least organized.

The Whiterock Loyalists, despite their best efforts, were unable to secure the historical capital before their ROGO-backing rivals. Having been forced to instead gather at Bulkspire, the westernmost city in Gilgas, they have proclaimed that their nation, as a whole, is Tallest One. Their cause is, in effect, an effort to formally democratize Gilgas.

Once considered stalwart allies of the Voran Empire, Gilgans have grown increasingly disillusioned with their draconic cohort. Their enthusiasm in the campaigns since Vorac'nath'al's First Conquest has waned significantly. This may be due to ideological drift amongst their population, or perhaps it's due to a sort-of general fatigue with warfare, or something else entirely. 

Gilgans, by and large, share a broad disdain for the Stön Trillium's exploitative way of life, environmentally, financially, and in their view, spiritually, which causes them to question their Voran allies' tolerance of them. Historically, in Gilgan culture, each of these modes of assessment is broadly considered intractable from the others. "How one is done, all is done," as they say. Generally speaking, they bristle at compromise, and absolutely detest lies, which makes them naturally disinclined toward the free-wheeling mercantilism broadly embraced by the Stön Trillium.

Their interpretation of strength is often mischaracterized as simplistic, but contrary to popular belief, most Gilgans actually respect strength as it relates to one's status & size. This likely explains Gilgas' refusal to wage a proxy war against the fledgling Free Destrean Commonwealth on Voran's behalf during Aegis' Wake, as such actions would be unworthy of a ‘being’ their ‘size’. Again, the Gilgans’ collectivist mindset can in this case characterize a nation of people as one entity, making the Commonwealth relatively small, due to its low population and comparative lack of military strength.
