In his latest blog entry, Phil Guzzardo, better known as Paragus to folks here at MMORPG.com, interviews six of the more powerful alliance leaders in Darkfall Online.

I often find myself trying to explain Darkfall to new arrivals in Agon, or people looking to buy it still, so that they have an understanding of what exactly the game is like. The best analogy I can give to the new arrivals is that Darkfall in many ways reminds me of Sid Meier's game of Civilization 4, in which you play the role of a single axeman, maceman, swordsman, or archer. Most people play as the single soldier, some of us play as generals being guild leaders, but there are other who sit higher up at the seat of leadership in the major alliances. Here we are, a little over one month in, and the lines are becoming very defined in regards to who the big alliances are, and the territory they have control over...

I have gone through great lengths to contact each alliance and asked them to pick someone who could speak on their behalf. I then sent the same six questions to all of the representatives in order to be as objective as possible. None of the leaders who were interviewed have any idea how any of the others answered them until now. The goal is to provide new players with a grasp of who the movers and shakers of Agon are, to give current players a bit of insight into each of the alliances, to give people considering playing Darkfall some opinions of people playing it, and finally a chance for these players to express their concerns to Aventurine (who expressed an interest in the article). The geographical location of each alliance can referenced on the large influence map, and for the sake of space, I am only focusing on major alliances who have significant influence. With that being said, let's get started!
