## Faction Structure

Each Faction will exist as a large PC & NPC entity. The faction will represent a set of values, and will serve the overlord. The faction are lead by Players who will run a player character who will be the lord. Other player characters will pledge their allegiance to one of these faction lords/factions.

The faction lord will also run missions for their faction, and for others to attend. You can join any mission run by any faction.

If you are a member of a faction, you will try to strive to uphold their values. You will earn faction points, for yourself and for your faction lord based on your performance in a quest and the completion of a quest. FP are awarded at the end of each quest. Faction point rewards are TBD by the faction lords and myself. So if i am a member of the royal army, and I complete a quest killing a monster threatening out city walls, I will be awarded 10FP, and so will my faction lord. The faction points for myself will accumulate and provide rewards at certain milestones. The faction points for my lord will enable him to provide for the kingdom.

Factions will be responsible for providing for the upcoming kingdom with their avenue of trade. The faction points the lords accumulate for your quests will be used a currency to build the kingdom and provide access to newer technology such as forge, alchemist, and other highly-sought-after NPCs.
