factions albion online

In Albion Online, factions refer to different groups or alliances that players can join to gain benefits, participate in faction warfare, and engage in territorial control. Here's a breakdown of the key faction-related mechanics: Royal Continent Factions These are the five major city-based factions on the Royal Continent, each aligned with a specific city: Martlock (Bear Faction) Focused on defense and resilience. Lymhurst (Stag Faction) Associated with nature and magic. Bridgewatch (Scorpion Faction) Emphasizes trade and strategy. Fort Sterling (Wolf Faction) Known for speed and aggression. Thetford (Boar Faction) Represents brute strength and persistence. Faction Benefits: Faction Points (FP) Earned by completing faction missions, capturing outposts, or killing enemy faction players. Faction Hearts Used to purchase faction-specific mounts, capes, and other rewards. Faction Warfare Players can fight for control of outposts in faction-flagged zones. How to Join a Faction: Visit the Faction Herald in any of the five royal cities. Choose a faction and pay a small silver fee (can switch anytime, but with a cooldown). Once flagged, you can participate in faction activities but are vulnerable to attacks from rival factions. Other Faction-Like Groups Guilds & Alliances Player-created groups that control territories in the Outlands and Black Zones. Avalonian Factions NPC factions like the Avalonians and Morgana, involved in PvE content. Faction Warfare Mechanics Outpost Capturing Teams compete to control outposts in yellow/red zones for rewards. Faction Transport Missions High-risk caravans that reward FP and silver. Bandit Assaults Large-scale faction vs. faction battles in the Roads of Avalon. Faction Capes Each faction offers unique capes with special bonuses (e.g., Martlock's cape increases HP, Lymhurst's boosts energy regeneration).
