Lineage

**Lineages** give you the ability to unlock and choose new upgrades related to the Bloodline you're using, and will even give access to the faction spell of the bloodlines origin at later stages. They also bring with them a whole set of allegiance trophies for all 12 factions.

**Requirements**

* R60+
* Lineage can't match current faction
* 400 royal exchanges of the respective faction(s) (two FC types for neutrals)
* Bloodline of the respective faction
* You have to also take a prestige faction

The requirements need to be fulfilled each abdication.

If you purchase research A2950 prior to selecting your bloodline's lineage, you will be able to choose which of the two bloodlines is the primary lineage and gain access to their spell (if unlocked).

e.g. Mercenary faction with dragon bloodline purchases A2950 and selects the druid bloodline. The player can choose between the two bloodline's lineages (dragon or druid) if they have not already done so.

## Progression

**Level 5:** Perk 1

**Level 10:** 100x FC gain for the lineages respective faction (50x for each of the two neutral FC types)

**Level 15:** Perk 2 - Unlocks Faction spell. (adjusted for your alignment if necessary)

**Level 20:** Perk 3 + Grand Champion Trophy

**Level 30 (PA2):** Perk 4 - boosts faction spell

## Costs

The base cost for upgrading lineages is 25 Qa (2.5E16) Faction Coins, and it increases by 10x per level (7.94x with Ancient Heirloom lore artifact). Note that the heirloom bonus will only apply to lineages below your highest level lineage
