There are three factions in the world of Aries. They are the new nobles of the Vulcan race with the Sun King, the old nobles of the Tundra race who descend from the dead Snow King, and the people who hate foreigners.
The xenophobic people are called the rebels. They hated the Sun King for siding with the gem people and not protecting their world from exploitation.
These people don't know that it was the Sun King who actually allowed the gem people into the world. If they knew, they would hate him even more. But their hatred for him has been enough to refuse to respect him and not obey him.
However, when the Sun King called the whole world to gather to fight the new invaders, the usually disobedient rebels obeyed him. They appeared from where they used to hide and gathered in large numbers.
