{{Game Update}}
'''Factions''' is a feature exclusive to the [[Crimson Isle]]. There are currently two factions: Mages and Barbarians, whom are enemies with each other. By allying themselves with one of the factions, the player can access the faction's [[Community Center]] to do tasks for them, interact with the Faction's shops, and gain reputation with them. Players can swap factions at any time. 

One can see a player's faction by looking at their icon besides their name in the Tab menu.

== How to join a Faction ==
In order to join a faction, the player must partially complete the main questline by talking to Elle.
