Below you'll find detailed information on each of the factions in the mod.
There are two types of factions the player can join, lawful and unlawful. If you opt to join one type of faction, this will lock you out of doing the other type, unless you are removed from that type, in which case you may be given a chance to side with the other type. If you have advanced too far however, the contacts at the guild will know and not welcome you. Further more, you can be removed from a faction for numerous reasons, so it is good to be mindful of your actions within the guilds.
Topside
Typically the topside factions are considered lawful, or to be of the benefit of the many. The Fighters, Healers, Hirdic, Hunters, Mages, and Vhosek Guild are all organized and operated from the guildhall in Njarstad's Trade District. While these aforementioned guilds all work toward a common good, some of their contracts may not be fully legal and commuting to, and acting on such a contract could have repercussions.
- Blessed Sha' om - This guild is a mercenary organization engaged in maintaining control of the land of Temoric. Some of the contracts deal with resolving discontent and forming public opinion.
- Fighters Guild - This guild is a mercenary organization engaged in protection services for the city as well as neighboring towns and settlements. Some of the contracts deal with pest-creature control, bodyguard work and battle.
- Healers Guild - This guild is a co-op of smaller guilds that would not have enough contract work on their own to justify a guild. Most of the quests deal with the preservation of life in some regard.
