Unlock Hidden Factions (Vanilla Factions Only)

Description
NEW: Have a bunch of DLC and want even MORE hidden factions? I've released a second mod that unlocks a bunch of DLC hidden factions. Subscribe to both mods to have everything! https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3548584561

While there are other mods in the workshop that do similar things to this one, most of them are several patches out-of-date and create unintended problems when using. I decided to make and upkeep this mod so everyone can continue to enjoy playing these hidden factions!

Unlocks the following leaders from the vanilla game:
Khir Uranon
Accrion the Endless
Anura the Cold-blooded
Noctus
Rakshagi
Sanguine the Atoner
Taiena Greyblood
Vaneyra
Karavar the Willbreaker
Qualok Many-Marshes
Myrala The Grovetender
Hunt-Herald Kyrma
Darman Voss
Jarlan Voss
Skogan Voss

Other Features:
- Makes Khir, Karavar, Qualok, Myrala and Kyrma selectable by the AI as random rulers.
- Neatly sorts hidden and presence lords towards the bottom of the ruler list.

Many thanks. You didn't have to go through with it but very much appreciated. I just realized it was a good idea to split the vanilla and expansion hidden rulers.

@Ghoulvarine - Making good on my word, I've gone ahead and made a second mod that will give you everything missing in this one =) https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3548584561

No pressure if it's not necessary. Just wanted to sate my curiosity. I'll be testing to see if they appear when I disable perl's mod (I have it available in the mod directory and not in the workshop folder). The only other difference with regards to availability are the dragon rulers of the Dragon Dawn expansion (there are 6) so I'll look to see if they appear as well with just your mod enabled. There are also standalone single ruler mods that others did mainly to fix some ruler traits and visuals for thematic consistency so I can always look for those too.

@Ghoulvarine - Fair question! Back when I was first making this mod, I remember taking a look at the Inioch family and not really feeling compelled to add them to the mod. I think it was because they all seemed very (understandably) similar to one another right down to having the same faction banners leading to them seeming a little... bland?

I ended up not adding them figuring no one would want them, but I'm open to getting them put in the roster if you'd like.

Like Lithyl Nightweaver, did the update also make available the other characters of House Inioch? (i.e. Eleanor, Saridas, Thannis). Just wondering if there's overlap from perl's Age of Factions mod, which seems to be no longer available in workshop.

Mod has been updated for Griffon update!

Not a lot of things to note this time around. As I mentioned in my previous post, Lithyl is now officially unlockable by completing the story realm Grexolis and no longer needs to be supported via this mod. Congratulations, Lithyl!

Qualok's customization data is still scuffed. As a result, his sense of fashion remains highly questionable. He plays perfectly fine otherwise.

Hope everyone enjoys the new patch!

Hey folks! Yesterday, Triumph released on the open beta branch an early version of the Griffon update that'll be releasing next month. As a reminder, please disable this mod if your choose to opt into the open beta as it may result in some unexpected behavior! This mod will be updated as soon as the Griffon patch goes live in August.

As an added fun note, it looks like the upcoming Griffon patch will officially release Lithyl as an unlockable character provided you've completed Grexolis. Because of this, I'll be removing her from the next update of this mod.

@Kingmaker I just found your message to me on the Paradox forums, so I've got a better idea of what you mean now. I'll respond to you over there shortly =)
