I've started a game with random factions, which apparently includes both Altar and Magnar. The thing is that Relias has Magnar's skin. I'm playing as Gilden, and all the messages from Altar are normal (e.g. you're a kingdom too, let's be friends). I have not seen the Relias character on the map, and it's possible that the leader for Altar was assigned as Magnar. Regardless, this is a real flavor-killer
