| The Rulers of [[Aloria]] are the monarchs, emperors, and kings who serve as the leaders of the variety of states that cover Aloria’s surface. While some have inherited stable dynasties, others have not, and have only been recently installed onto their thrones. With the recent world events destabilizing various states, many experienced leaders are now dead, leaving behind a younger generation to fill their shoes.

| The Political Figures of Aloria are the leaders in the halls of government. As varied in appearance as they are in ideals, these figures may build up or break down a nation depending on their actions. The figures of today now must face a difficult task in helping restore power to their often broken states.

| 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 Nobility 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.

| The magics of Aloria are unknown to the everyday man. However, to those that do know of them, these names may conjure fear or admiration in the minds of the learned. Whether they be archons of their craft or infamous for betrayals to the art, famous Mages help fill in the sophisticated backdrop that is the Alorian world.

| The Deities of Aloria are those beings who the people of this world worship as bringers of life, death or both. While all false gods in the actual accounting, all are still very powerful creatures that often command the forces of the universe as their tools of power. In recent years, these deities have shown themselves more than usual, kicking off some truly disastrous results for the world.

Aloria is full of unique people who work together to progress the world and society. MassiveCraft does not subscribe to the Great Man Theory, that is to say, the worldbuilding is supported by famous people who could not have succeeded without the fundamental structures of the work of others. This page discusses famous people in the context that they are relevant to the Lore to understand certain periods and nuanced through their eyes, not in the sense that they are unique and that the world would have become stagnant if they had not arrived. The world does not return to a slow crawl after the leaps forward produced by these famous people, rather they are more like mascots of a wider collective effort within society or interest groups.
