| Aloria has seen a great many brilliant minds, brave warriors, and treacherous dictators across each and every one of its varied continents.

| The Regalian Emperors have been some of the most powerful and even, some of the most helpless leaders in Aloria. What sets them apart, ultimately, is their role in governing the world as under their care for better or worse, the Regalian Empire ruled millions and exists as a long-standing superpower on the world stage. Its leaders have also endured much, especially in recent years, and while for now there is no sitting Emperor, the Emperors of the past still cast shadows the reach into today.

| The Regalian Chancellors are all men from House Kade, an ancient family who recently rose to leadership of the Empire that had stewarded as Chancellors for decades. Every chancellor has flaws, but also triumphs to their name and are well known to many of the world. | |

| The Noble Figures of Aloria are the lords, counts and lower landowners that make up the separate states of the world. In the [[Regalian Archipelago]], there are those that are famous and well known, but also countless other lesser nobles, only of note for the service they render to their xenophobic empire. Many have served notable lives, but whether such acts are famous or infamous is up to the politics of the time.

| Military Figures are those that lead the military forces of the world. Generals, admirals, and captains of the land and sea help decide the course of Alorian history with their heroic actions on the battlefield. With the rise in conflict, military figures have had an increase in power, as more peaceful voices have been silenced by their swords.

| The Public Figures of Aloria are the folk heroes, the alchemists, the criminals, and those known who come up from the lower classes into the spotlight. While many are good, helping save lives, or impact the creation of new products and techniques, others are less so and are known for their daring actions against authority or violence in the face of doom.
