For the most part, the Vlandians have a very defensive position with a few different choke points into their territory. They also share a boundary with the Sturgians due to a few castles across the Rovalt mountains, along the bay’s shore. The Vlandians are the western-most empire on the continent with borders touching the Battanians and Western Empire, primarily. But which faction should you choose? What are the starting positions? And just how many minor factions are there to wrangle? Our Mount & Blade Factions Guide has all the details you need to know! Each comes with their own backstory, strengths, weaknesses, and starting locations and more.

Much like other strategy games, in Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord, you’ll need to decide which faction you’re born into and eventually, which one to support.
