Equipment: Guild/Faction Leaders start play with clothes, fine; a gaming set, a symbol of their faction rank,

Feature: Faction Leader
As the current head of your faction, you can reasonably command your faction as you see fit. Members are free to disobey, particularly if it is in their own interests. Though you are their agreed-upon leader, the membership consists of free men and women who chose to become members; they will leave if mistreated.
Further, your mid-to-high level status in society allows you to access socially restricted events for the upper class. You are welcome in high society, and people assume you have the right to be wherever you are. The common folk will make almost every effort to accommodate you and avoid your displeasure, and other people of high birth treat you as a member of the same social sphere. You can secure an audience with another faction leader or members of your own faction, as well as certain government officials with ease in most nations.
Variant AE Guild/Faction Leader: Faction Founder
Founders are respected by current members even if they are no longer faction members. Founders have the luxury of choosing not to be involved in their factions on a day-to-day basis, however, they maintain their ability to secure an audience with other faction leaders, members of the faction they founded, or appropriate government officials.
As a Founder, there is an Advanced Faction Member (usually the current Leader) that wishes to take the Faction in a new direction and separate from the Founder and their philosophy. Founders have a unique loyalty from members that current leaders might not have; when there is a conflict between the Faction leader and the Founder characters, the Faction will side with the Founder. Further, Advanced Faction Members are much more willing to risk their lives or freedom to help the Founders.
If the Founder is the current Leader, then they take the Founder feature and an Advanced Faction Member will begin to vocalize dissent and then being to vie for control.
