The KUA (Knighthood Union Alliance) is an organization where they help people all over the world. When the nations are dealing with strife, war, or other issues, the KUA’s duty is to come in and handle it. Though they typically handle issues on a scale that the nation itself can’t seem to handle. The KUA acts as the world’s police, relief aid, military, and scholars. They don’t have a clear enemy and I am wondering if they need one.
Their enemy would be the injustices and problems that the people face in the world. The KUA is a massive global organization that is backed by many nations financially and more, it’s also a privately owned organization by an absurdly wealthy Regal family.
But I’m wondering if that is needed. The Knights duty in my fictional world is to deal with problems plaguing a nation in a way that the nation can’t deal with.
Yes, there are crime syndicates. There are monsters, but the monsters aren’t the big issue for the KUA.
I think it would be more realistic if the KUA’s true enemy was the wealthy family funding them. That kind of power is bound to corrupt. I mean, running a global police force would bring them incredible power that would be so easy to abuse. Then if knights are joining the KUA to try and help people, but the ones running the whole organization are actually in it for power, the disillusionment would lead to the conflict you’re seeking. An organization fighting against it’s own corruption like a body fighting an infection within itself is a great source of conflict for a story and that theme’s current relevance with real world issues will resonate with a lot of readers.
Well, it really depends on the plot and who’s driving it.
Is there a natural disaster? Is the world at war, with no end in sight? The setting does a lot to challenge the org without necessarily having a need for a rival or smth.
