## The Faceless Faction

The ancient race, **Faceless**, feature perks that becomes stronger with time. Their Heritage is based on the highest amount of buildings owned in the current reincarnation, and thus can easily be improved by doing a goblin-line run. Late game, their ability to increase assistants using S375 (Illusion) and their brainwaves come in handy.

## Unlock Requirements

These requirements can be done in different game plays.

Once unlocked, to affiliate with a Neutral Faction you first need to choose their alignment, just like Vanilla Factions. The alignment upgrade for Neutral Factions is called the Proof of Neutrality. Once all the 3 Faction quest items have been collected it will automatically appear in your next run. Once unlocked, each faction is permanently available.

## Unique Buildings

At R22, Faceless' *Labyrinths* can be upgraded to a Unique Building: ***Sunken Cities,*** which is required for some challenges and research quests.

At R100, the Faceless' *Ancient Pyramids* can be upgraded to a Unique Building: ***Forbidden Libraries***, which when bought will grant access to the Faction Union upgrade.
