A Faction in Masters of Raana is an interactable world entity with a Power Value than can be affected by various ways.

Factions play an important role in certain quests, in Investment opportunities, and determine how Ikaanos evolves during the Political Event Phase of each day's conclusion (at midnight). The MC can interact with factions through commerce, donations, quests and battles.

Faction variables

  • Soldiers/Fighters: The number of active combatant members.
  • Power value: A general value that expresses a Faction's influence over the world. If this reaches 0, the faction is permanently disabled.
  • Treasury: A faction's spendable money.
  • Focus: 0. Agrarian, 1. Mercenary, 2. Industry, 3. Trade, 4. Slave Trade, 5. Crime, 6. Prostitution, 7. Technology, 8. Culture, 9. Administration.
  • Standing: Your (The MC's) esteem with this faction.

Governing variables ("Head of state" only)

  • Corruption: Ikaanos' societal Corruption value indicates the Republic's general depravity and decadence.
  • Control: The Control value indicates the general security of Ikaanos, as well as bandit/raider spawns and the willingness of merchants to make investments and develop their businesses.
  • Prosperity: Ikaanos' Prosperity value shows the affluence and economic strength of its inhabitants, primarily affecting prices, and Fishing/Hunting actions.
  • Liberty: the degree of oppression versus personal autonomy (not necessarily sexual freedom) within Ikaanos currently. Laws as opposed to mores.

See Political Events for more information...

The MC's Faction

Every organized group of sentients can be regarded as a "faction", and there can be factions within factions. Your own household is no exception. You will start off with a very low Power Value, but will be able to raise it by increasing your number of soldiers (particularly if they are notable mercenaries), by gaining Influence and wealth, and in other ways detailed here: Power Value.

You can also join and/or contribute to other factions, though some have conditions to entry, or restrictions on who they will accept donations from, or when. Contributing to a faction can raise your Standing with it, as can successfully completing quests for them or helping them in other ways. Having high Standing may garner you daily cash &/or Iinfluence from that faction in return. And if you reach 100 Standing with some Factions they become a Vassal to you, adding 1/3 their Power Value to your own, and you may even become their leader - though Standing with some factions is capped at 70.
