==Introduction==
The Kin Faction alignment system is designed to assist in PvP and RP.


The Faction System is a broad game system designed to promote organized player conflict within the society of Britannia. The fundamental goal of the conflict is to provide a foundation for player conflict based upon meaningful and contextual combat and conflict-related interactions. The system is designed to encourage the inclusion of a wide array of player types through the use of game mechanics that appeal to a broad set of play-styles.
Kin alignment is guild-based. The Guildmaster of each guild must decide whether to align their guild with a Kin Faction and which faction to choose. As a member of a Kin Faction, you will flag as an enemy (orange) worldwide to members of all opposing kin-aligned guilds. Like-aligned player Kin will not be flagged ally (green) unless they are in the same guild or an allied guild. Like-aligned NPC mobs will appear green, as they are your allies and will not attack you.  


==The Factions==
There are 7 Alignments to choose from:


There are four factions:
*Brigand
*Counsel
*Militia
*Orc
*Pirate
*Savage
*Undead


===Minax===
==Strongholds==


Minax is one of the two "evil" aligned Factions. They follow the evil mage Minax, who is a great villain in the history of Sosaria. They are based in a mountain stronghold north of Destard.
There are Kin strongholds scattered throughout the land:


===Council of Mages===
*Militia: Vesper
*Counsel: Wind
*Brigand: Serpent's Hold
*Savage: Crypts East of Yew
*Orc: Orc Fort in Yew
*Undead: Dungeon Deciet
*Pirate: Buccaneer's Den


The Council of Mages is one of the two "hero" aligned Factions. They follow the teachings of Lord British. Their base is the Magincian Parliament Building, located in the City of Magincia.
A Message will inform you when you enter a Kin Faction stronghold. Regardless of whether or not you are kin-aligned, if an attack that results in your death starts in a stronghold, or if you die in a stronghold (no matter where you were first attacked), you will not be able to report your attacker as a murderer.


===True Britannians===
==Temporary flags==


The Council of Mages is one of the two "hero" aligned Factions. They follow the teachings of Lord British. Their base is Lord British's castle, in the city of Britain.
Aggressing your own kin or helping someone in combat with your kin, will cause you to be outcast from your kin for a certain amount of time. This means that kin of your alignment will attack you on sight and everyone in the kin system can still freely attack you.


===The Shadowlords===
Casting beneficial spells on anyone in the Kin system will flag you as an interferer for 24 hours. You will be freely attackable by anyone else in the Kin system.


Minax is one of the two "evil" aligned Factions. This Faction worships the wraith-like, demonic entities known as Shadowlords. They are based in the crypts, east of Yew.
==Kin Monsters==


==Joining a Faction==
===Council Kin Monsters===


To join a faction, travel to the faction's base of operations and use the faction join stone, which is usually located at the faction base entrance. If you are a member of a guild, you may not join a faction yourself. Instead, the guild master must join that faction, causing all members of the guild to be enrolled in that faction.

Kin Factions

The Kin Faction alignment system is designed to assist in PvP and RP.

Kin alignment is guild-based. The Guildmaster of each guild must decide whether to align their guild with a Kin Faction and which faction to choose. As a member of a Kin Faction, you will flag as an enemy (orange) worldwide to members of all opposing kin-aligned guilds. Like-aligned player Kin will not be flagged ally (green) unless they are in the same guild or an allied guild. Like-aligned NPC mobs will appear green, as they are your allies and will not attack you.

There are 7 Alignments to choose from:

  • Brigand
  • Counsel
  • Militia
  • Orc
  • Pirate
  • Savage
  • Undead

Strongholds

There are Kin strongholds scattered throughout the land:

  • Militia: Vesper
  • Counsel: Wind
  • Brigand: Serpent's Hold
  • Savage: Crypts East of Yew
  • Orc: Orc Fort in Yew
  • Undead: Dungeon Deciet
  • Pirate: Buccaneer's Den

A Message will inform you when you enter a Kin Faction stronghold. Regardless of whether or not you are kin-aligned, if an attack that results in your death starts in a stronghold, or if you die in a stronghold (no matter where you were first attacked), you will not be able to report your attacker as a murderer.

Temporary flags

Aggressing your own kin or helping someone in combat with your kin, will cause you to be outcast from your kin for a certain amount of time. This means that kin of your alignment will attack you on sight and everyone in the kin system can still freely attack you.

Casting beneficial spells on anyone in the Kin system will flag you as an interferer for 24 hours. You will be freely attackable by anyone else in the Kin system.
