Factions outside of Calradia

[Lockbody_123]

It would be very interesting to hear more about the factions outside of Calradia, like Geroia and Balion in Warband.
Just imagine stumbling upon a weary Merchant or Adventurer in a tavern and hear them talk about their home far away.
Perhaps there could be a Merchant selling unique Items not found anywhere else in the game or even a hireable group of Mercenaries trying their luck in Calradia.
Having a foreign invading Army (like the mongols in Medieval 2 Total War) could also spice up the late game, although that would probably be too unbalanced.

What do you guys think?

Well we always want to hear more about the glorious Danes... i mean… Nords...

The Aztecs are 100 percent, the developers must create them for the game as an invasion of calradia

WB kinda has this, in that not all companions are Calradian and they might tell flimsy tidbits of information. This could easily be expanded by including trade caravans or small mercenary outfits from distant lands. Imaginewitnessing the Calradic version of Mansa Musa's pilgrimage, or meeting a traveler like Ibn Battuta or Marco Polo, complete with fantastical tales of their journey.
These could also serve as teasers for future expansions of the territory to outside Calradia.

This is an absolutely outstanding idea and a great way to give the player a feeling that there are events happening outside of Calradia. I could imagine some of them could sell the player some unique armour, weapon or trinket to place in your castle as decoration.
