Factions are split into ''Major'' and ''Minor'' groups.
Factions are your gangs primary means of finding allies and enemies in Evan. The numerically largest factions, in terms of players, are the Civs and the Merchants. They are the factions friendly to the starting area, and most players scouting in Somerset will scout against the enemies of the Civs and Merchants, making them the easiest factions to join. Every gang in Evan, even the faction-less renegade player gangs, will have relationships with all of the factions. These relationships are primary caused by scouting against a factions enemies, though doing missions for a faction or using Hero Points from the reputation page can also affect your standings with the various factions.


Being allied or opposed to the Major factions represents significant strategic decisions and consequences for your gang. 
Every issue of the Darkwind Gazette will have a political update that outlines the dynamic relationships between the factions, and may cause some of the information on this page to become out of date.
 
Decisions related to the Minor factions are less important as groups in Minor factions are small and have no strong relationships for, or against, the larger factions.
 
Not all NPC gangs are aligned with a faction.
 
Faction-to-faction relationships range from Ally to Hated

Factions are your gangs primary means of finding allies and enemies in Evan. The numerically largest factions, in terms of players, are the Civs and the Merchants. They are the factions friendly to the starting area, and most players scouting in Somerset will scout against the enemies of the Civs and Merchants, making them the easiest factions to join. Every gang in Evan, even the faction-less renegade player gangs, will have relationships with all of the factions. These relationships are primary caused by scouting against a factions enemies, though doing missions for a faction or using Hero Points from the reputation page can also affect your standings with the various factions.
