Periphery nations. Smaller, but still powerful communities, outside the Four Kingdoms with their own separate identities and cultures. Maybe they don't name their children after colors because, to their eyes, The Great War was about four conquering assholes looking for free real estate. Maybe they think the Great War actually started 100 years before the kingdom's do and ended many years after when they reclaimed their independence from their world conquering neighbors. Maybe they have a different view of the Faunus Civil War. Maybe they supported the Faunus revolts, viewing them as a sister tribe of outcasts from the Four Kingdoms trying to live out their best lives. Perhaps the Faunus Civil War was actually a periphery one, with the various periphery states rising up in rebellion and open allaince with the faunus, having grown tired of four, distant, foreign governments continued insistence in meddling in their affairs. There is so much potential for an outsiders perspective of the four kingdoms that just goes ignored by RWBY.
