Made up of the pro-Monarchists of the Tor and members of Her Majesties upper government, military and royal guard that remained loyal during the Torist Revolution and into the Civil War. They suffered massive attrition as soldiers fled back to their homes as rumours of hostile acts against their families was reported. Following the death of Queen Anulā, the sitting Prime Minister Sanath Sangakkara ensured the safety of her remaining children and with Field Marshal Vasantha Pathiraja led the cause of the Monarchists from Sasrika Kanda, the Queens childhood home.

Originally the main legislative body of the country called the Tor. After years of increasing dismissal by Queen Anulā and in the aftermath of the 1967 Tan Mar Massacre which many indicate that Queen Anulā personally ordered the Tor issued a formal complaint to the Queen. The messenger, a former Prime Minister, was arrested for treason and sentenced to be executed the next day. This triggered the two initial leaders of the faction to rise up in rebellion and march into the capital with a sizeable force. This is called the Torist Revolution and is the first stage of the revolution as a whole. The Queen fled, leaving behind men to execute the former prime minister and initiated an almost year-long stale mate as the army fractured into two forces which faced off between the countries two largest cities. At the end of this stale mate, the Queen accepted terms that would mean her son would become King, she would abdicate and go into exile but the monarchy would survive. The Torists, during this, began to make changes to the Constitution that essentially turned the monarch into a figurehead without any executive powers.
Despite this new peace, many factions felt that this was either not enough or too much and caused a massive fracture within the Torists. Two of their main leaders, Ananda Muttukumaru and the sitting Prime Minister Sanath Sangakkara separated into their factions. Tensions erupted as both the Kaha mal, led by Muttukumaru and the Kamkaruvō Ekamutuyi, a socialist faction, led attacks against the Royal Guard and Torists culminating in the Sack of the Royal Palace that killed queen Anulā, her eldest son and burnt the building down.
Going into the civil war they represent an idea for a democratic republic, but are separate to the Socialist Kamkaruvō Ekamutuyi in that they are openly classist and instigate, in their time prior to the civil war beginning, several reforms that taxed the rural peasants for better conditions in the cities.

The Kamkaruvo Ekamutuyi (Kam-Ek) are the highly Socialist party that led the Socialist cause in the Civil War. Originating in 1910 and causing the failed 1910 Ankati Revolution, the Kam-Ek worked with the Kaha Mal to conduct the First Battle of Nilagne Naegima a move that was planned to decapitate the Torist faction and win before any civil war could begin. But although leader Jayantha Kulatunga explicitly ordered the Royal Palace to be left alone until his arrival, members of the Kam-Ek and Kaha Mal conducted the Sacking of the Royal Palace, killing Queen Anulā, her eldest son and burning the building to the ground. They headquartered themselves at Gormipitiya, a large town in the east.
Kaha Mal

| Country | Kingdom of Ankat |
The Kaha Mal is a religious group that considers Sudu Mārgaya, a hybrid of the native Margaya and the Mutulese-originating White Path, to be heresy and want a return to the ways of Margaya and the strict adherence to the tenets of Teras Kol. They were responsible for numerous terror attacks in the lead-up to the civil war, eventually claiming senior Ananda Muttukumaru as their leader. They formed a temporary alliance with the Kamkaruvo Ekamutuyi to attack the capital in the opening days of the Civil War, but went against the agreement to attack the Royal Palace and kill the Queen, her eldest son and burn the Palace down. Going into the war they worked with the Kamkaruvo Ekamutuyi until they were betrayed and almost annihilated by the socialists.
The involvement of the Kaha Mal in the civil war ends in 1971 and they exist today as a small terror organisation inside Ankat.
