if you are looking for a decent war, join Westmoore, or Nivemus.
Armonia and Eponlyn can also become intresting perhaps.
But the most possible diretc front will be Nivemus Westmoor and to a lesser extend Sirion.
Perosnally i find that EC used to be extremely cool, but now, in generall it really sucks.
Don't know how the Far east looks like these days.
