What are the major political factions at present? How long have they been around? Which factions are allies, which enemies? Are there any potential new forces on the political scene (e.g., a rising middle class, a university gaining unexpected power because of certain magical discoveries, etc.)?
Of the five races, only the humans and the elves have organized factions in their governing bodies--they generally keep to themselves, and do not form alliances with other factions.
One faction, the Givers, believes that magia is sacred, and unfit to be wielded by anyone but them. (so they go around locking people's hearts when they have no authorization to do so, and neither Leria nor Fion have any idea about their activities--yet) They were formed 500 years before our story begins, and while their goal is admirable, how they go about achieving it is questionable.
Another faction formed 1000 years before our story begins, the Call, believes that magia can be wielded by whoever Meikon calls (which can be anyone). They are devout believers in the Gemsinger story, whereas the Givers believe they can control the Gemsinger to their whims.
The newest faction on the political scene, the Guardians (formed 200 years before our tale begins), combines some of the beliefs of the Givers and the Call--they believe magia is sacred, but the fact that anyone can wield it is proof that Meikon wishes to use ordinary people in protecting the world, and the Gemsinger is the ultimate incarnation of a guardian
