| Aspects || An unlikely symbiosis of the organic and the artificial, the Aspects are a peaceful collective always seeking harmony. Their origins lost to the distant past, the Aspects are a symbiotic species, part machine, part coral, with physically distinct individuals who find blissful union in the Chorus—a mind gestalt where all Aspect can psychically come together. Obsessed with preserving the balance on Saiadha through empathy and understanding, the Aspects' peaceful existence has been upended by a devastating dieback of their life-enhancing coral fields. Will Saiadha ever see the Illuminated Realm again? || Ofttimes, Plerogyra finds their mind drifting back to their academic days, when their most difficult task was untangling Dust's role in the Aspects' symbiosis. Now, thrust into a leadership role following political upheaval, Plerogyra must contend with the Aspects' very survival. The great dieback has decimated the coral, killing many, and left the Chorus a faint whisper of its past glory. As even the stars fall from the heavens, restoring the balance will not be easy for this soft-spoken idealist. || Diplomats
|-
| Kin of Sheredyn || Hailing from the stars long ago, the Kin of Sheredyn have struggled to tame this world ever since their original leader, Garin, was lost to the wilds. An offshoot of the United Empire, the Kin arrived on Saiadha decades ago, but dreams of conquest and glory were quickly dashed against the rocks of this unforgiving ocean world. With their original, inspirational leader lost to the wilds, the mantle of leadership has fallen upon General Shaparenko, who dreams that the Kin will one day do more than merely survive. || A fierce, strong leader, Shaparenko found herself thrust into power at a relatively young age after the acting Kin commander was killed by a Necrophage surge twenty winters past. Never hiding from the field, Shaparenko has kept morale among the Kin as high as can be expected given the harsh conditions, the deteriorating technology, the deadly seas, and, most of all, the Kin's growing sense of rootlessness. The starfalls have unsettled her, yet she is determined to take advantage of any opportunities they might bring—even if that means destroying the Kin's most closely cherished beliefs. || Defenders
|-
| Last Lords || Arriving on Saiadha with a handful of functioning Lords and a crypt of Lords' souls, Consul Tyabana aims to leave behind the traumas of Auriga on this new world. Escaping Auriga before it became an icy tomb, the Last Lords set a destination across the stars for Saiadha—a world believed to be endless sun-scorched deserts laden with Dust. Upon arrival, Saiadha's brutal oceans were a rude awakening for the knights, who still clung to the tatters of their chivalrous code. Most are only engrams awaiting their great suits of armor, but Consul Tyabana hopes not just for reanimation, but renaissance. || Though she was born into a minor noble house, Tyabana's zeal and talent with Dust led her to important roles within the New Church of the Amber Lords. When the long winters arrived, she led a small group dedicated to preserving the way of life of the Broken Lords; it was within this cabal that she learned how to preserve the soul of a Broken Lord, not merely within its suit of armor, but as a stored engram. Departing Auriga, she pledged her existence to the recreation of her people and the rise of the Lords of the Amber Plains on the new world of Saiadha. || Economic
|-
| Tahuks || For the Tahuks, long-time natives of Saiadha, these days of portents and upheaval can mean only one thing. They are returning. Tahuks! Turmoil has come to Saiadha, yet, in the heavens, we have seen signs of Their impending arrival. Stand strong, smite your enemies, and raise cities worthy of Their gaze. When your faith wavers, Tahuks, remember: the night is always darkest before dawn. || || Scientists
|-
| Necrophage || Necrophage, rise! The Matriarch calls! Confined to the depths ages past, the Saiadhan swarm have only just emerged to the surface to establish a beachhead on one of the world's windswept islands. Bitter fighting with the bronze plates has occupied their recent attentions, but they aim to make up for lost time under the command of their Prime, One-Who-Stalks-Afar. Always hostile, always ravenous, the Necrophage are a powerful, menacing presence. || || Warmongers

Minor Factions

2025-09-20T17:21:45Z

76561198021843184:

Minor Factions are made up of one or more villages in a territory. They will not expand but will only align with an empire if given sufficient motivation. As time passes Minor Faction villages can create roaming armies that may attack.

Minor Faction villages may be pacified, which will make them no longer spawn armies and existing armies will never attack the empire that pacified them but the empire that pacified them also cannot attack them. Armies adjacent to a village have three ways to pacify it, which do not cost any movement points:
* They can bribe the village with Dust. This will pacify the village. The first village in the region will cost 150 Dust to pacify while the second one will cost 250.
* They can parley to receive a quest. If completed it will pacify all villages in the territory.
* They can attack the village. If the army wins the battle the village will be destroyed and can be rebuilt into a pacified village.
Empires that have a city in the same territory as a pacified Minor Factions village can assimilate the Minor Faction into a Protectorate by spending Influence. Assimilating a Minor Faction into a Protectorate unlocks a unique unit, councilor trait and notable, gives cities one Minor Faction population for each pacified village in the same territory, and grants a permanent bonus that scales with each village from that Minor Faction that is pacified. Every empire can initially support one Protectorate and the number can be increased up to 4 by various technologies.

| Ametrine || The ossified remains of the Ametrine still exist on the seabed, speaking to an age when these creatures of mineral and rock stalked the ancient deserts alone.

|-
| Noquensii || The Noquensii's origin is lost to the sands of time, but none can dispute that their beautiful ballads speak to the history of the world.

Although he remembers little of his own clever feats, he knows the laws of Dust-calling.

|-

Not unsurprising, perhaps, given that this cartel are Saiadha's most accomplished couriers. || Convoy || Consortium || Pheyr Talias || Consortium Elder || A long-serving member now retired from the road, as leader Pheyr Talias oversees the Consortium's deal-making instead.

Throughout the world of Saiadha are Resources ripe for the taking that can enhance City resource output. There are two types of Resources - Strategic and Luxury. Both can be harvested via Mines within your Territory, collected as Quest rewards, traded via a Trade Outpost, or used to fulfill Quests and sway factions in Diplomacy. Strategic Resources are used for Unit upgrades and District Improvements. Luxury Resources boost various parts of your Empire, be it approval, fortification, and increased FIDSI output in your Cities/Camps, increased experience gain on your Hero, and more.

== Basic resources ==
There are five basic resources in Endless Legend 2. Together they are called FIDSI and stand for:
* Food is stored on a city-level. Every population consumes Food. If Food is positive the population progressively grows. If Food is negative the population progressively declines, starting with the ones that consume the most Food.
* Industry is stored on a city-level and is primarily used to create units and structures or be converted into another resource via Convert Actions, but can also have more exotic uses like powering converters or allowing landscaping. If a City is not using Industry, it will store up to one turn of their production as surplus. The surplus will be instantly added to the next construction when one is ordered. Everything that costs Industry will show the number of turns it takes to complete next to the cost.
* Dust is stored on an empire-level and is primarily used to pay for army upkeep, accelerate constructions via Buyouts, purchase Strategic and Luxury resource, or bribing minor factions, but has numerous other uses as well.
* Science is stored on an empire-level and is used to research technologies.
* Influence is stored on an empire-level and is to build Foundations, attach or evolve Camps, and conduct diplomacy with other empires.
Cities can convert Industry into other basic resources. Which conversions are available depends on what technologies the empire has researched.

== Strategic resources ==
Strategic resources are used to construct more advanced Units and Improvements as well as unlock Unit Specializations. They are harvested by building Mines on strategic resource deposits and can also be bought and sold. More rarely they can also be obtained from quests or by defeating powerful monsters. Every empire can store up to 30 of each strategic resource. There are 6 strategic resources:
{| class="wikitable"

| Titanium || 3 Science || 2 || ''Revealed by sheared outcroppings, the unmistakable shine of Titanium means that a light, strong metal is waiting to be extracted.''
|-
| Glasteel || || ''Heated to high enough temperatures, the curving leaves of Glassteel plate melt into a hard substance with restorative properties.''
|}

== Luxury resources ==

== Trade ==
Trade is a straightforward process. After constructing a Trading Post, unlocked with the Era 2 Tech “Markets,” you can freely buy or sell any Strategic and Luxury Resource. Click on the resource icon in your main view to bring up a small window where you can buy or sell this resource by the unit, and in case of Luxury Resources activate their booster effect. The price of resources is determined by the demand for it, so as more players buy a resource its price will increase and will decrease once nobody is buying. These trends are shown in the window with a little arr ow next to the price.
