Factions and Reputations

Factions serve as a primary plot device in this campaign. Interacting with the more than twenty factions will provide access to locations, magical items, information, and other important elements that can drive the adventure forward. There will be plenty of story arcs that the characters will encounter, but most will be designated as associated with one or more factions. In some cases these links will be explicit to provide clues to the players, but sometimes the connections will be less obvious.
