Factions

There are 4 factions, and every quest you run pays reputation with one of them.

	Faction	What they want
	Tidewardens	Keepers of the old sea law. They remember the ways before the merchant companies rewrote the rules. Earn their trust through exploration and cartography.
	Ironwright Guild	Master shipbuilders and salvagers who answer to no trading company. They judge you by what you build, not what you buy.
	Blacktide Compact	Raiders and privateers bound by a code older than any charter. They respect strength, cunning, and the willingness to take what the merchants hoard.
	Deepwater Accord	Fishermen, whalers, and sea scholars bound by a simple truth: the ocean provides, but demands respect. They judge you by what you harvest, not what you hoard.
