Overview

There are two kinds of Factions in Valhalla: Player Factions and NPC Factions. Player Factions allow players to share bonuses unique to factions, as well as facilitate player story and provide hooks for narrative interaction. NPC Factions can provide opportunities for players to earn rewards and maluses alike.

Rules for Player Factions

A Player Faction must have at least three members and no more than 25% of all active players on its roster. Staff reserves the right to adjust these numbers based on the size and health of the game.

Player Factions earn and lose Favor as a group. This includes Favor with the Anchor NPC and supercorporations.

Factions must have a discrete table, seat, or other designated area within the Great Hall, and sit together during certain times during the Feast. This area may be moved or arranged at Staff’s discretion.

Responsibilities of Faction Leadership

A Faction Representative does not necessarily have to be the IG Faction leader, but will be the primary point of contact for Staff and the Faction and is considered the “owner” of the faction. The Faction Representative must inform Staff of any roster changes, ideally no later than one day prior to the day of game.

As a Faction Representative, you acknowledge the following:

• [ ] My leadership gives me an outsized impact on the experience of other players
• [ ] I have a responsibility to use my power to improve other players’ experience
• [ ] If I cannot attend an event, other members of the Faction may appoint an interim Representative with full authority to make in-game decisions. I am strongly encouraged to appoint an interim Representative in advance of my absence.
• [ ] My position as a Faction Representative can be revoked by Staff if I am negatively impacting the game

To Create a Faction

All prospective Player Factions must be registered with Staff prior to an event by the would-be Faction Representative.

To Retire or Modify a Faction

Notify Staff if you wish to retire, modify a Player Faction or make a roster adjustment.

Note: Staff reserves the right to remove or adjust Player Faction rosters for the health and benefit of the game. In the event this happens, all of the affected Player Faction members will be notified.

NPC Factions

Like Player Factions, NPC Factions have Faction Representatives. Individual players and player factions alike may earn favor by completing Contracts for them. Favor may be gained (or lost) in other ways, as well. Each of the supercorporations of the Board are considered an NPC Faction.
