Hey, thanks for your replies thus far, I should have been more clear that I -might- be interested in forming an LS (not FC) group of Syndicate RPers.Â
I actually disagree with Royalist vs Monetarist conflict being monarchy vs democracy, but instead a more classical Renaissance/Enlightenment era conflict of monarchy vs republicanism. An Ul'dahn Republic would have democratic elements insofar that the merchant class would probably have the vote, and one would purchase suffrage (thus purchasing their way into that class). More like a merchant republic. It's semantics, true...but there is that slight difference between democracy vs republicanism (ignoring 'democratic republicanism' ofc).
Anyway, this theoretical Syndicate group could include more character types than what a Flames/Sultansworn group could, since the latter is combat-oriented (unlike the other Grand Companies, Flames don't have non-combat elements). It could include non-combat characters, too, especially that Lolorito owns the Weavers' and Goldsmiths' Guild. It could include miners, and well, any DoL/DoH class! What they would -do- however...
