When you first start up a new game, you are asked to choose how your backstory is like and this would affect your character stats. The 6 factions are the Khergit Khanate, Kingdom of the Nords, Kingdom of Rhodoks, Kingdom of Swadia, Kingdom of Vaegirs and the Sarranid Sultanate.
You can choose to either be a vassal under the king of the 6 factions, a mercenary or start your own kingdom and taking over land. In the game you play as an adventurer in the land of Calradia, you’re tired of your old life and want to start a new one by adventuring the cruel lands filled with bandits and raiders. Mount and Blade: Warband is an action role-playing game developed by TaleWorlds Entertainment and published by Paradox Interactive.
