* BoringButPractical: If you're tired of using complex tactics during battle, you'll find that simply stacking a couple dozen Swadian knights is a very reliable way of playing this game.
* BossInMooksClothing: Swadian knights are infamous for their [[InfinityMinusOneSword good equipment]], which makes them arguably a bigger challenge than some of their actual lords.
* BossInMooksClothing: Swadian knights are infamous for their [[InfinityMinusOneSword good equipment]], which makes them arguably a bigger challenge than some of their actual lords.
* EliteArmy: Swadian Knights are famous {{LightningBruiser}}s on the open battlefield. To compensate for this, they're much more expensive to maintain than other top level units.
* AchillesHeel: They have no cavalry and their infantry's running speed isn't that high, either. This makes them vulnerable to ambush tactics on the battlefield; hiding behind a hill from their crossbows and charging them down when they get close, before their reinforcements can arrive.
* HardLevelsEasyBosses: Their foot soldiers are amongst the most difficult units to fight in the game, and most of their castles border on being {{DeathTrap}}s, but their lords are actually arguably the least difficult ones to put down, not a single one wearing the equivalent of coat of plates armor. Moreover, they're incredibly easy to spot and gang up on the battlefield, since they're almost always the sole mounted unit in their retinue.

* StoneWall: Rhodok Sergeants appear to be this in comparison to other top level units; their war cleavers and battle hammers aren't as strong as the swords and axes used by the other nations, but they use the absolutely best shields in the game, and their armor is exceeded only by that used by Swadian units. They're best used to clog the enemy down, while their crossbow-wielding allies shoot the enemy to bits from behind.
* AchillesHeel: They depend quite heavily on their good quality shields for defense, their armor isn't actually that thick (though they have very high HP). This makes them basically impossible to match when they need to fight in only one direction (read: sieges), but quite vulnerable to being flanked or attacked from behind on the open battlefield.
* NationalWeapon: As you can probably guess, their units have a higher than average chance of being equipped with axes. Downplayed in that the Vaegirs also like to use them.

* FragileSpeedster: Pretty much all of them, even Khergit Lancers are more mobile and maneuverable at the cost of hardiness and durability than other heavy cavalry. Given that this game strongly favors MightyGlacier units, they often get [[LowTierLetdown the short stick from players]].
* HordesFromTheEast: Yup.
* HorseArcher: Pretty much their shtick. They are also the only faction to use mounted ranged units in the game, period.

* GlassCannon: Their units' armor is noticeably inferior to that of most other factions' (excepting the Khergits), and they have a significantly smaller chance of spawning with shields, ironically making them particularly vulnerable to massed [[RainOfArrows arrow fire]].
* GrimUpNorth: Over half of their territory is permanently covered in snow and implied to be rather inhospitable. They specialize in producing trade goods like pelts, iron and tools, and are typically a little short on food wares.
* NationalWeapon: The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bardiche bardiche]], a huge poleaxe with a crescent-shaped blade, which is used by both their highest-tiered infantry and their knights. Historically, it was the signature weapon of the streltsky, an elite army unit founded by Tsar Ivan the Terrible.

* TwentyFourHourArmor: Unlike other Calradian lords, Sarranid emirs wear their armor even indoors and only take off their armored turbans. This is likely due to them being late additions to the game, since the developers probably couldn't be bothered to assign them civilian clothes.
* BlackVikings: Their units use the same face and body models as those of the other factions, which means that a significant number of Sarranids seen will be pale-skinned and have blonde hair. Historically, [[AluminiumChristmasTrees many Egyptian mamlukes actually did have such an appearance]] due to being descended from Cumans, a nomadic people living in what today is Ukraine. However, while here most Sarranid nobles look appropriately middle-Eastern, it is the generic soldiers and townspeople that instead mostly look like poorly disguised Caucasian actors.

to:
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Generally held to be the most dangerous NPC in the game, bar none.
* FatBastard: A reputation Harlaus developed due to his tendency to hold feasts at improper times, including when he's under siege. In reality, it's a uniform AI behavior applied to all Monarchs to [[WeAreStrugglingTogether try and keep vassal relations above water]], Swadia just gets hit with these because they have to fight on multiple fronts.
* ItsAllAboutMe: If you are allied with Swadia, be prepared to see "King Harlaus has decided to give the fief of [Town/Castle/Village] to King Harlaus" A LOT.
* MightyGlacier: The single hardest opponent to kill in the entire game, he has the best armor possible, a good sword, and shield, luckily, he's a bit of a StoneWall, since he doesn't have a lance.
* OldSoldier: One of oldest monarchs. However, his high level and high tier equipment make him one of the most dangerous.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Like all Calradian monarchs, he's active on the field during campaigns. (Well, sometimes.)
* ScrewTheWarWerePartying: Memetically infamous for this, as he will often call all of the lords together for feasts, even when the enemy breaks in the doors and starts running rampant. This is a bit unjustified since it's a uniform AI Monarch behavior, one that's *caused* by the enemy gaining ground, and is a desperate attempt to [[WeAreStrugglingTogether keep vassal relations functional enough to wage war.]] Swadia just gets hit with this *a lot* because it has to fight on multiple fronts against multiple enemies.
* StayInTheKitchen: While all other rulers have logical, if a bit selfish, reasons for denying or not acknowledging a claimant's right to the throne, Harlaus' reason is only that "She is a woman, and would not rule well," and gives no other reasons.
** JerkassHasAPoint: He mentions that while there ''were'' warrior queens before, all of them end up leading the Swadian army to ruin.
* WeaponOfChoice: A [[HeroesPreferSwords Heavy Bastard Sword]] and [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe Knightly Heater Shield]]. Combined with his armor and horse, this makes him an absolute monster, especially as ArtificialStupidity makes lances rather ineffective compared to what they'd be for players.

* DemocracyIsBad: Is of this opinion. He has nothing but contempt for the Rhodoks' system of ElectiveMonarchy or the traditional rights of their nobility, and took power through blackmail and threat of force.
* ElectiveMonarchy: Was elected by the rest of the Rhodoks nobility to his position, although his methods were controversial (to put it mildly) and he has a strong ideological hatred for it.
* AFatherToHisMen: Claims his close relationship with the army and his soldiers (and, implicitly, with the common folk from whom the levies are drawn) makes him a better king.

* ElectiveMonarchy: Was elected by the rest of the Rhodoks nobility to his position, although his methods were controversial (to put it mildly) and he has a strong ideological hatred for it.
* AFatherToHisMen: Claims his close relationship with the army and his soldiers (and, implicitly, with the common folk from whom the levies are drawn) makes him a better king.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Like all Calradian monarchs, he's active on the field during campaigns.
* WeaponOfChoice: A [[HeroesPreferSwords Heavy Bastard Sword]] and [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe Knightly Heater Shield]] much like his Swadian Counterpart, Harlaus. He falls short of his northern rival in armor and horse however.
!!King Ragnar
----
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Claims it is a necessity as king of the Nords.
* BloodKnight: Takes pride in his martial prowess.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Is very willing to listen to advice from you, so long as he doesn't outright hate you.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Like all Calradian monarchs, he's active on the field during campaigns.
* WeaponOfChoice: A [[{{BFS}} Great]] [[AnAxeToGrind Axe]]. He also has a shield, but given his only weapon is a two-handed one, his axe is slow and easy to parry, but hits ''hard''.
!!Sanjar Khan
----
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Claims that this is the inevitable result of Khergit inheritance laws, and that he saved the Khergits a bloody civil war by simply making the stronger brother (himself) king.
* BloodKnight: Places great value on strength of arms.
* CainAndAbel: Played with. He usurped his half-brother, Dustum, but because he did not want to fight him in a civil war for the whole Khanate.
* DecadentCourt: Accused of this by Dustum.
* FragileSpeedster: Rides a Courser, and is armed with a one-handed slicing sword. He's not much good head-on as a result and is pretty easy to take down since [[ArtificialStupidity head on is the AI's only approach]].
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Like all Calradian monarchs, he's active on the field during campaigns.
* WeaponOfChoice: [[SinisterScimitar A Sabre]] and [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe Elite Cavalry Shield]].
!!Sultan Hakim
----
* BenevolentBoss: Tends to be generous with fiefs.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Like all Calradian monarchs, he's active on the field during campaigns.
* TheUsurper: Arwa claims he illegally usurped the throne from her. Hakim counters that he has the better claim, since he's from a noble family while Arwa is just an adopted slave girl.
* WeaponOfChoice: Prefers a [[NationalWeapon Sarranid Cavalry Sword]] and [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe Elite Cavalry Shield]]. He's a very good mounted unit, second only to Harlaus.

[[folder:Calradian Claimants]]
!!Lady Isolla of Suno
----
* ActionGirl: Starts at a high level, and even if she isn't given different equipment to replace her noble clothes dagger, she will take out several high-level troops before being knocked unconscious.
* FieryRedhead: She has red hair and before she was forced to flee accused Harlaus' supporters of treason. Though she recognizes that this had hurt her chances, she still intends to take back her throne by force.
* NobleFugitive: Exiled from the Kingdom of Swadia by virtue of being a rival claimant to the throne.
!!Prince Valdym the Bastard
----
* HeroicBastard: Invoked but subverted. The illegitimacy charge was malicious slander by TheUsurper. Everyone including the latter's son- who is also the standing monarch and Valdym's rival for the throne- seems to disregard it.
* NobleFugitive: Exiled from the Kingdom of Vaegirs by virtue of being a rival claimant to the throne.
!!Lord Kastor of Veluca
----
* ElectiveMonarchy: Claims that King Graveth's holding the electors hostage for their votes renders him an illegitimate monarch.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Does he proclaim himself a provisional acting king and call for elections after you give his rival the boot? No.
* NobleFugitive: Exiled from the Kingdom of Rhodoks by virtue of being a rival claimant to the throne.
!!Lethwin Far-Seeker
----
* BadassBookworm: Ragnar claims he is an unfit leader as he is a scholar and not a warrior. You can help him prove Ragnar otherwise.
* GentlemanAndAScholar: Spent his early life as a scholar rather than a warrior, by contrast with the typical Nord lifestyle.
* NobleFugitive: Exiled from the Kingdom of Nords by virtue of being a rival claimant to the throne.
!!Dustum Khan
----
* CainAndAbel: With his half-brother, Sanjar.
* NobleFugitive: Exiled from the Khergit Khanate by virtue of being a rival claimant to the throne.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Did a lot of the leg work governing the Khanate as a child and believes Sanjar usurped the throne because he had time to do so as Dustum was inspecting the border when their father died.
!!Arwa the Pearled One
----
* ActionGirl: She's a very combat-capable character in her own right.
* BornIntoSlavery: Presumably.
* FemmeFatale: According to Hakim, she used her feminine wiles to exert control over the realm. Arwa herself claimed it was her superior intellect and managerial skills that gave her the throne. Though those are not necessarily exclusive.
* NobleFugitive: Exiled from the Sarranid Sultanate by virtue of being a rival claimant to the throne.
* RagsToRoyalty: Went from being a slave in the old Sultan's household to being ruler of the Sarranids herself... until she was deposed by her nephew Hakim.
* WickedStepmother / [[EvilUncle Evil Aunt]]: According to Hakim.

!!King Harlaus
----
* AchillesHeel: Harlaus is a highly competent opponent in battle, but his equipment is heavy and cumbersome. Chances are he will be taken down by an archer/fast melee character or be thrown from his horse and ganged up on by a group of soldiers.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Generally held to be the most dangerous NPC in the game, bar none.
* FatBastard: A reputation Harlaus developed due to his tendency to hold feasts at improper times, including when he's under siege. In reality, it's a uniform AI behavior applied to all Monarchs to [[WeAreStrugglingTogether try and keep vassal relations above water]], Swadia just gets hit with these because they have to fight on multiple fronts.
* ItsAllAboutMe: If you are allied with Swadia, be prepared to see "King Harlaus has decided to give the fief of [Town/Castle/Village] to King Harlaus" A LOT.
* MightyGlacier: The single hardest opponent to kill in the entire game, he has the best armor possible, a good sword, and shield, luckily, he's a bit of a StoneWall, since he doesn't have a lance.
* OldSoldier: One of oldest monarchs. However, his high level and high tier equipment make him one of the most dangerous.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Like all Calradian monarchs, he's active on the field during campaigns. (Well, sometimes.)
* ScrewTheWarWerePartying: Memetically infamous for this, as he will often call all of the lords together for feasts, even when the enemy breaks in the doors and starts running rampant. This is a bit unjustified since it's a uniform AI Monarch behavior, one that's *caused* by the enemy gaining ground, and is a desperate attempt to [[WeAreStrugglingTogether keep vassal relations functional enough to wage war.]] Swadia just gets hit with this *a lot* because it has to fight on multiple fronts against multiple enemies.
* StayInTheKitchen: While all other rulers have logical, if a bit selfish, reasons for denying or not acknowledging a claimant's right to the throne, Harlaus' reason is only that "She is a woman, and would not rule well," and gives no other reasons.
** JerkassHasAPoint: He mentions that while there ''were'' warrior queens before, all of them end up leading the Swadian army to ruin.
* WeaponOfChoice: A [[HeroesPreferSwords Heavy Bastard Sword]] and [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe Knightly Heater Shield]]. Combined with his armor and horse, this makes him an absolute monster, especially as ArtificialStupidity makes lances rather ineffective compared to what they'd be for players.
!!King Yaroglek
----
* EvilUncle: According to his claimant even though they are technically cousins; definitely had one for a father.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Like all Calradian monarchs, he's active on the field during campaigns.
* SinsOfOurFathers: He bluntly admits that what his father did to Valdym was immoral; he simply doesn't think it just to end his reign for his father's crimes.
* TokenGoodTeammate: He's the most friendly of the six kings initially established in Calradia, and he's also the only king who didn't personally dethrone his kingdom's claimant.
* TheUsurper: Is the son of one.
* WeaponOfChoice: [[PowerfulPick A Military Pick]] and [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe Knightly Kite Shield]]. He's not exactly well-suited for cavalry warfare, especially as his horse is a generic Hunter and weapon that barely reaches infantry while on horseback, but his gear combination makes him suprisingly dangerous in close-in mobs once he's pulled off his horse.
!!King Graveth
----
* AristocratsAreEvil: According to him, the only "liberty" the lords of Rhodoks truly value is their own.
* BenevolentBoss: Tends to shower vassals he likes (including the player) with castles and cities.
* ComeWithMeIfYouWantToLive: A dark example, as he basically blackmailed the electors to vote him King or he would let an enemy force capture or kill them.
* DemocracyIsBad: Is of this opinion. He has nothing but contempt for the Rhodoks' system of ElectiveMonarchy or the traditional rights of their nobility, and took power through blackmail and threat of force.
* ElectiveMonarchy: Was elected by the rest of the Rhodoks nobility to his position, although his methods were controversial (to put it mildly) and he has a strong ideological hatred for it.
* AFatherToHisMen: Claims his close relationship with the army and his soldiers (and, implicitly, with the common folk from whom the levies are drawn) makes him a better king.
