After they've given him his crown, he intends to dismantle them.</li>
+  <li>Cares mostly for the strong. He will aid those that can be of use to him, and those who can either directly or indirectly help him in his goals. As he desires wealth and power, this means his policies are very beneficial for, among others, merchants, since they generate revenue. The poor, especially those living in slums, are left mostly to on their own, being viewed as not useful.<ul>
+      <li>Generally argues that if you're not strong enough to aid yourself, then why should he aid you.</li>
+    </ul>
+  </li>
+  <li>NEW: Believes Marcandria has to unite under a strong central figure - that being himself - in order to safeguard and protect their interests. A fractured nation where each region is left too much to their own devices will fall behind the rest of the world, be that falling behind other nations or falling behind on keeping dangerous creatures and monsters in check.</li>

 <p>The Fulcrum operates two grandiose meeting halls—one situated in <a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Settlements/Vessina">Vessina</a> and the other in <a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Settlements/Revanna">Revanna</a>. These establishments serve as meeting venues and joint headquarters for both the Fulcrum and numerous members. They host discussions, meetings, and serve as focal points for the social, economic, and political activities involving the Fulcrum. These opulent venues also play host to banquets, celebrations, and are the primary locations where the Board of Nine and the committees convene. They serve as central hubs for members to conduct their business, particularly for those engaged in trade within <a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Settlements/Vessina">Vessina</a> or <a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Settlements/Revanna">Revanna</a> but are not permanently based in these cities. These guild halls are renowned for their grandeur, symbolizing the vast wealth, power, and prestige of the Fulcrum.</p>
 <p>&nbsp;</p>
 <h2>Relations with other factions</h2>
+<p>The Fulcrum is widely recognized for its longstanding rivalry with the <a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Factions/Wayfarers-Union">Wayfarer's Union</a>, which was originally established as a counterbalance to the Fulcrum's ambitious industrial expansions. This complex relationship is characterized by a multitude of deals and trade agreements between their respective members. However, beneath the surface, both factions harbor a deep desire to outmaneuver and surpass the other in order to gain dominance within the Marcandrian economy.</p>
+<p>Similarly, the <a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Factions/Meranzeum">Meranzeum</a> occupies a unique position as both a rival and a business partner to the Fulcrum. Given the <a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Factions/Meranzeum">Meranzeum</a>'s status as a religious organization with considerable influence among <a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/marcandrian-culture">Marcandrians</a>, it acts as an imposing entity that may oppose the Fulcrum's initiatives in one aspect while providing support in another. This duality hinges on the <a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Factions/Meranzeum">Meranzeum</a>'s perspective of each specific endeavor. Consequently, the Fulcrum regards the <a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Factions/Meranzeum">Meranzeum</a> as a somewhat intricate business partner, with decisions contingent upon predicting the <a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Factions/Meranzeum">Meranzeum</a>'s stance on their various undertakings.</p>
+<p>The Fulcrum vehemently condemns any affiliation with organizations involved in the black market or the trade of illicit goods and openly refuses to engage in business with them. This unwavering position is rooted in pragmatism, recognizing that Marcandrians generally despise illegal dealings. The Fulcrum fully understands that any hint of involvement in illicit trade would lead to substantial public backlash and potential boycotts. Consequently, they consider the risk far too great to even contemplate engaging in such activities. While a few Fulcrum members clandestinely engage in unlawful transactions, the organization swiftly expels any members caught participating in such activities.</p>
 <p>&nbsp;</p>
 <h2>Stance on Succession conflict</h2>
-<p>&nbsp;</p>
+<p>The Fulcrum's official stance is that of neutrality when it comes to the Marcandrian succession crisis that started in the wake of the royal family's murder in the winter of 1349 AD. However, as the crisis progressed, an increasing number of Fulcrum members have started voicing their favor of <a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Characters/Giullen_de_Vesci">de Vesci</a>'s claim.</p>
