Twelve Ancient Factions Index

The ancient civilization of The Forgelands contained twelve ancient factions in total. Only four major factions are currently known in detail: the Smithies, Copperlings, Agrarians, and Mystics. These four are the primary developed factions and should remain the foundation for most current lore writing.

The remaining eight factions exist in canon, but they are not yet defined. They should be discovered gradually through gameplay, ruins, expeditions, build arcs, new Minecraft updates, and future lore decisions.

Known Major Factions

1. Smithies: Stone, iron, durability, practical infrastructure, forgecraft, and Iron Golems.
2. Copperlings: Copper, redstone logic, automation, powered rail, and the creation of Copper Golems.
3. Agrarians: Farming, animals, sustainability, clay, bees, villages, and living continuity.
4. Mystics: Potions, enchantments, swamps, hidden knowledge, witch lineages, and possible Pillager collaboration.

Copper Golem Note

Copper Golems were created by the Copperlings. They are not currently one of the four primary humanoid/cultural factions. They may become a splinter machine culture, exhibit category, or later factional power, but that should be decided through future lore development.
