Faction

[Jewel]

Your Faction, if any, tells a belief or organization you have dedicated yourself to serving. Although it is possible to be born into a Faction, such as the Assassins, it is distinct from Origin in that it is not visibly discernible and can bear grave complications if it becomes common knowledge as well as the expectation of the character to serve the needs and rules of their Faction. With the exception of the Order of the Ebon Hand (and the Unaligned) membership in a faction should be considered similar to a Dark Secret as most are outlawed within Medinaat al-Salaam or their secrecy enforced by their own leadership at any cost. Even the Ebonites tend to keep a low profile as they have many enemies even if they are not outright outlawed.

Characters of a Faction may pick schools from that Faction.
