PRE is a large site with plots that span entire regions. Therefore, this guide is meant to break down what is happening on the site, along with providing extra input on Lux and Nox's roots. Most answers can be answered by the SITE FAQ, though this guide is for people who want a greater lens for what's going on in the world of Predormitum.

the faction of lux.

origins of lux.

Let's go all the way back to Lux's roots. Three years after the events of Pokemon B/W, a wide fear spread across the Pokemon world of criminal syndicates and villainy. A handful of people took advantage of this and ousted the original Elite Four and champions from their positions (although some E4 stayed for the ride) to form a new Pokemon League. Under this group of people, they assumed the name Lux, in an attempt to strengthen the world's defenses against potential threats.

how lux works.

In theory, Lux is one large "country" with smaller states. Each region makes up one of these states. While Lux likes to say that they have supreme control over what happens, they're still not able to completely legislate each region's actions. The president and the council are top dog, but he/she can't be everywhere at once. Indigo Plateau is the brain, but the champions are the arms and legs of Lux. They oversee their region and answer to the Indigo Plateau However, let it be noted that it is the council who chooses who to install as the president (so yes, in actuality the council is the group of people who hold the real power). This makes for a type of pseudo-democracy for Lux. People want to feel as if they have a say with what is happening, not that there is only one person running the entire show. Therefore, the Council is necessary. Each member has a different method in which they were able to rise to said position, but this allows Lux to put on the illusion of democracy.

the faction of nox.

origins of nox.

While Nox started as a codename for the dissatisfied, the term caught on among Lux too. They began branding dissenters, and eventually anybody who didn't support hem, as Nox. Of course, not everyone was willing to roll over and let Lux have their ways, hence the birth of Nox. Nox is a name that unifies different groups of people who fight against a common enemy, but all have their own reasons for doing so. "Nox" began as a codename for the dissatisfied. This term caught on among Lux, who began to brand dissenters, and soon enough, anyone who chose not to support them, as Nox.

how nox works.

Nox are people who never agreed with Lux's ideal of a secure society at the cost of personal freedoms, or they are people who realized later on that said a perfect society was impossible. However, there are many individuals who are fighting for other reasons as well. By nature, Nox is a league of strong individuals, and is inherently different from Lux because a certain amount of charisma is required to rise in the ranks of Nox.

the democratic republic.

origins of the republic.

Spawned from the Pro-Isshu movement, The Democratic Republic of Isshu is a neutral party that inhabits the region of Unova. Their goals remains to keep from taking sides and remain neutral throughout the course of the war. They have since begun trading with both sides, providing crucial supplies, in order to keep from getting targeted by one faction of the other..

how the republic works.

Those who join The Republic are those who wish to keep Unova for Unovans. They believe that Lux and Nox can both take a hike, and that there is a peaceful solution to be had. While the core group that makes up The Republic are Unovans born and raised, those individuals who are flocking to the region, and The Republic's cause, in order to avoid the war are being welcomed with open arms.

the regions.

Beyond this, a lot is left up in the air. Lux champions and Nox leaders are left to decide how they will follow the flavor that their region has established.

kanto.

Kanto is Lux-dominated. Its stronghold is the Indigo Plateau, and both Lux and Nox are engaged in a perpetual game of espionage. No leader of Nox has surfaced in Kanto, so either one does not exist or they're doing a damn good job at staying hidden.

johto.

Johto has very close ties with Kanto, therefore Lux, though after the loss of Goldenrod, Nox is using it as propaganda against the League (League and Lux being used synonymously). In Johto, Nox is dominated by Rocket forces.

hoenn.

Because Hoenn is further away from Kanto and Johto, Nox dominates this region and is, by far, the most organized Nox of all the regions. They have realized that military might is necessary to fend off Lux. In Hoenn, populations of Lux are sparse, and many have fled to refugee camp,s while others have simply left the region. Lux who remain in Hoenn live under martial law.

sinnoh.

Sinnoh, on the other hand, is much disputed, with both sides holding very little of the region but refusing to give ground. It's fate is currently up in the air.

unova.

Unova is unique in that both factions have come to a realization that they must work together to keep the war out of their region. The Pro-Isshu movement has since grown into it's own neutral republic, and while their neutrality is currently being ensured by trade with both Lux and Nox, the relationship between the three factions is tenuous at best.
