Other dark elf factions will be able to be confederated with, especially the Cult of Pleasure, though I don't recommend confederating with 'Mommy Dearest' unless you are very powerful in your own right as it puts you in direct contact with many strong hostile factions.

Your call on how you want to deal with them (personally recommend killing them). Clan Rictus can be friendly but dealing with their corruption and ruin seeking behaviors can be annoying. Tomb Kings to your south are usually neutral to you, though they can get pissy as you get friendly with Cult of Pleasure.

You want to start that war on your terms, not theirs. Once you make contact, they quickly declare war on you and will pretty much never make peace with you. Try to delay contact with all High Elves as long as humanly possible. These are the two factions that will be guaranteed to hate your guts and can get very strong as well (especially High Elves). And the Blood Voyages you spawn will rile up High Elves very quickly, as they always make a beeline for Ulthuan.Īs Naggarond you are fairly far away from the High Elves in Ulthuan and very far away from Lizards. Har Ganeth requires a constant influx of slaves to maintain Hellebron's youth (debuffs from letting her get old can be a huge hindrance). Cult of Pleasure is too close to High Elves and Lizards, and due to the innate Chaos Corruption faction effect, managing public order is challenging until the capitol's unique building gets to a high tier. I recommend starting out as Naggarond proper.
