Verumese Factions & Factionless Rules
Factions are organizations in Verum run by players and important NPCs. These Factions are run through a Democratic player-based hierarchy and provide a structure to the world through which players can interact. Each of these Factions are unique entities within the world, and can be read about HERE. All characters who wish to join or interact with a Faction and its members must abide by these rules.
Sometimes, Factions can be inflicted with states that alter or change their abilities. These changes can be for better or for worse, and are often brought about by the Factions themselves as a result of roleplay, or great powers in the world.
As stated previously Factions are Player run organizations, and as such there are certain positions and responsibilities in Factions that must be fulfilled by players. The holders of these positions are all Democratically elected by a Faction’s membership. These positions, their responsibilities, and how they come to power are as follows. The Factionless of course do not have access to any of these positions, responsibilities, or powers.
General Rules:
- At Character Creation, players may choose a Faction. This Faction may provide starting equipment, unique items, and other character bonuses.
- Players may alternatively choose to be Factionless, which will grant them benefits unavailable to those who start in a Faction.
- Players may only be part of one Faction at a time.
- In order to change Factions, a player must first leave their current Faction. Doing so causes a few things to happen, covered in Leaving a Faction.
- Members of a Faction must uphold a Faction’s Tenets, any Characters who do not do so may be removed against their will.
- A character can always be removed by a DM should it be deemed necessary.
- If a character is found to be breaking the Faction rules, or their Faction’s Tenets, the players may vote for the removal of a member through a 2/3 (rounded down) vote.
Being Factionless:
Whether at Character Creation, or afterwards through the desertion of a Faction, a Character may become Factionless. Having this denomination can provide a player with certain benefits, though doing so forfeits any benefits being in a Faction may provide.If Factionless at Character Creation a player receives these benefits:
- 1 Skill Proficiency of your choice
- 1 Tool Proficiency of your choice. You cannot choose a class critical tool, such as thieves' tools for rogues unless you are of that class.
- 1 extra Downtime day and 1 extra Crafting day should any of those two resources be awarded during the update stream. Downtime and Crafting days are elaborated on in Downtime & Trading Rules and Crafting Rules.
If a Character becomes Factionless after Character Creation they gain these benefits:
- 1 extra Downtime day and 1 extra Crafting day should any of those two resources be awarded during the update stream.
- Downtime and Crafting days are elaborated on in Downtime & Trading Rules and Crafting Rules.
- Head to the document linked HERE, and view the “Pending Games” sheet located at the bottom of the screen.
- In this document, there are a number of sessions that will take place in the next week. Once you have decided which you would like to participate in, fill out the form linked HERE and submit yourself for scheduling.
- Later in the week, the schedule will be finalized, and a schedule will be posted in the Player-Scheduling Channel.
- The player is then responsible for attending the game they are placed in, based on their preferred games submitted through the form.
Being In A Faction:
Being in a Faction grants players certain benefits unavailable elsewhere such as starting equipment, unique items, and other character bonuses unavailable through any other means. These benefits are separated into three categories.The benefits provided by Factions are:
- Starting Benefits
- These are provided to those who join Factions at character creation. They are powerful items, abilities, and boons which differ from Faction to Faction, and are present on their respective pages on World Anvil.
- General Benefits
- These are attribute cap increases (This allows ability scores to be pushed past their default cap of 20, but do not provide additional ability score points themselves.), skill proficiencies, or tool proficiencies granted to members of a Faction when they join. These differ from Faction to Faction, and are present on their respective pages on World Anvil.
- Scheduling Benefits
- This is an often unseen but incredibly important aspect of Factions. Every week when the in-game session schedule is created, Factions can receive Priority on certain missions.
- Priority on a mission guarantees that a certain Faction will be able to send one of their members on that mission.
Joining a Faction:
There are several ways a player can approach joining a Faction. The first, and easiest manner to do so is at Character Creation. The second is for a character to begin Factionless and join a Faction after Character Creation. The third and final method of joining a Faction is to switch from one Faction to another. Each of these methods have important rules attached to them. In the event that multiple players wish to join a Faction and there are not enough slots for all, older character submissions take priority.In Order to Join a Faction:
- The player informs a Dungeon Master with a Political tag that they wish to join a Faction, by pinging Political in the Discord.
- The Dungeon Master then informs the Chapter Master of this development.
- The player’s Discord tags are changed to reflect this change.
Joining at Character Creation:
- Players gain access to the Starter benefits of a Faction
- Players gain access to the General benefits of a Faction
Joining after Character Creation:
To join a Faction, players must not be on the 2 weeks of no play cooldown (1 week if the player was the target of a Faction’s Embassy’s Reach). Shackled Legion members that have finished their sentence are not subjected to this cooldown. As Factionless:- Players gain access to the General benefits of a Faction
- Players become Factionless during their ‘no play’ cooldown.
- Players gain access to the General benefits of a Faction
Leaving a Faction:
Players may leave a Faction that they are a part of at any time and for any reason. However, leaving a Faction will incur consequences. In order to leave a Faction, a player must take some specific steps.In Order to Leave a Faction:
- The player informs their Chapter Master, OOC, that they are leaving the Faction.
- This Chapter Master then informs a Dungeon Master of this development.
- The player’s Discord tags are changed to reflect this change.
- When leaving a Faction, please refer to your Faction's page for the exit clause and what items that you must return to your Faction. This is a meta/mechanical rule, and it is not one that is In Character.
As a result of Leaving a Faction:
- This player may not participate in session play for 2 weeks of real time, for which time they are Factionless.
- If the player is Embassy’s reached into a new Faction, they instead only receive 1 week of no play cooldown, deducting days spent Factionless after leaving their old Faction if applicable. They remain Factionless for this period of time, though they may enter their new Faction’s chat.
- This player loses whatever standing they may have had with the Faction previously.
- All loyalty benefits are lost.
Faction States
Sometimes, Factions can be inflicted with states that alter or change their abilities. These changes can be for better or for worse, and are often brought about by the Factions themselves as a result of roleplay, or great powers in the world.
Prosperity:
Prosperity means that, for various reasons dependent on in-character reasons, a Faction is flourishing. Depending on the nature of what caused the Faction to be in prosperity, they will be granted certain benefits.- These benefits are currently undefined.
Turmoil:
Sometimes, a Faction can be placed in a state known as Turmoil. This state can be inflicted through several means, the most common being that a Faction lacks a Chapter Master. When in Turmoil, a Faction loses a lot of its power and incurs a few other conditions.- This Faction loses mission priority, meaning created missions will no longer provide guaranteed slots to its members.
- Members may leave the Faction freely, avoiding the 2 weeks of real time penalty they would otherwise incur when leaving a Faction.
- If in turmoil for long enough, the Faction has a risk of being completely destroyed.
War:
In dire circumstances, Factions can decide to go to War. This state is typically brought about in dire situations and has a few effects.- All of the Factions involved are immediately considered to be in Turmoil.
- Only the Chapter Masters may ultimately decide to go to war with another Faction. It should be noted that War does not necessarily mean bloodshed in this term, but rather that the two Factions are actively competing against each other, for one reason or another.
- Factions at war cannot progress their Agendas.

As stated previously Factions are Player run organizations, and as such there are certain positions and responsibilities in Factions that must be fulfilled by players. The holders of these positions are all Democratically elected by a Faction’s membership. These positions, their responsibilities, and how they come to power are as follows. The Factionless of course do not have access to any of these positions, responsibilities, or powers. Elections:
Whenever a leading role in a Faction must be filled, it is done through an election. Elections are held in Faction Rp Channels, and are typically run by a Dungeon Master. These elections take place normally over the course of a day in order to allow for as many members of the Faction to offer themselves up for positions, and vote for their constituents. Elections follow this format:- A spot opens up either through the previous holder of the position stepping down, or dying.
- A Dungeon Master will inform the Faction the spot needs to be filled.
- Faction members submit themselves into the running for the position.
- Votes are given publically in the Faction Rp Channel, and tallied. If some members want it to be private they may request it to the Political DM in charge of the election. They must also be open for at least one week to give enough time for people to participate.
- Whichever candidate receives the most votes takes the position.
Chapter Master:
Chapter Masters are the elected leaders of a Faction. This position is the highest form of leadership a player can achieve at this time, and as such it comes with several very important responsibilities. Chapter Masters are given certain in game powers to denote their status:- +5 Maximum Hit Points for as long as they hold the position.
- Keep track of their Faction member’s availability for in-game sessions.
- Decide every month what region of Kalkatesh to give their Faction members extra scheduling priority for.
- Decide whether the Faction is Open, Neutral, or Closed relating to Rp.
- Open - Anyone may rp at any time!
- Neutral - Only those who are members of the Faction and the Factionless may Rp here.
- Closed - Only those who are members of the Faction are allowed to rp here.
- Arrange meetings of their Faction members in character.
- Act as a tiebreaker when voting on Agendas for the Faction.
- Act as a liaison and the voice of the Faction, towards the higher ups within (if available.) or in relations with other Factions.
- Submit Faction Agendas
- Submit Faction research proposals
- Submit Special Agenda proposals
- Represent themselves as the example of the best way to serve that Faction, the reflection of its ideals.
Quartermaster:
The Quartermaster is responsible for managing the Faction Bank, which is an ability available to Factions explained later on. The position of Quartermaster is awarded through an election, and as such is a servant of the Faction’s best interests. Quartermasters are given certain in game powers to denote their status:- +5 Maximum Hit Points for as long as they hold the position.
- Monitoring and upkeep of the Faction’s Bank.
- Ensure the validity of the Faction’s Bank.
- Report discrepancies in the ledger immediately to Banking DMs.
Ambassador:
This character may be sent on diplomatic missions and handles the public face of the Faction. These characters may show up as guest stars on update streams. Ambassadors are given certain in game powers to denote their status:- +5 Maximum Hit Points for as long as they hold the position. (Known as the Embassy’s Constitution)
- Make sure the Faction members adhere to and uphold the tenets of their Faction whenever possible.
- Represent the Faction on diplomatic missions (special RP events and update streams)
- Present themselves as Ambassador at every opportunity
- This can be done once per OOC month (30 days).
- If they choose a Factionless member, then that member is granted the starting equipment with no buy-in.
- If they choose a member that is in a Faction, then the mandatory 2 weeks penalty of play in which the character must remain Factionless, is reduced to 1 week.
- If the Ambassador of the Night Guard invites a player, they may undergo the Crimson Crucible after character creation. This counts toward their one attempt.
Faction Abilities
Agendas:
An Agenda is a cooperative objective Faction members may undertake. It is achieved through persistent allocation of resources over an extended period of time. Faction members can spend Downtime Days to progress towards achieving an Agenda that will benefit their Faction. How it Works- An Agenda details what needs to be done in order to achieve it, and what is rewarded when it is achieved.
- A Chapter Master decides on an Agenda from the list of available options and submits a Faction Agenda Form.
- An Agenda DM approves each Faction Agenda form.
- Faction Agendas are solitary. No cooperative Agenda progression between Factions is available at this time.
- Only one Agenda can be progressed at a time.
- In order to prevent massive spikes in power from Factions who have more resources or members, a limit has been placed on how quickly Agendas can be achieved.
- Agendas cannot be completed in a single update stream time progression, if an Agenda’s Downtime Day requirement is met before 2 update stream’s time progressions have passed, it will be achieved on the 2nd.
- In the Event where a player commits DTDs for an Agenda and then leaves the Faction before the Agenda is achieved, an Agenda DM must be informed.
List of possible Agendas:
Recruitment.
DL: 4 Reward: The Faction maximum player slots is increased by 2.- This stacks.

DL: 3 / 4 / 6 Reward: DL 3: Common reagent bundle ((Common and Minor Uncommon reagents)) DL 4: Uncommon reagent bundle ((Uncommon and Major Uncommon reagents)) DL 6: Rare reagent bundle ((Minor Rare and Rare reagents)) When the Agenda is submitted the submitter must select Potion or Poison in Declaration of Intent. The choice will be the category of reagent rolled. When completed a dice of a size equal to the number of respective reagents of the bundle rarity of the chosen category. The dice result is the reagent type that is obtained. Afterwards the Agenda DM rolls a d6 + Faction Members + Half Faction Size (Rounded down) to determine the amount of reagents obtained. These reagents are added directly into the Faction Bank.- This Agenda is repeatable.

This item is a 1 time use.
- Pole of Collapsing. While holding this 10-foot pole, you can use an action to speak a command word and cause it to collapse into a 1-foot-long rod, for ease of storage.

These rewards include, though are not limited to: Faction upgrades, loyalty upgrades, and special missions. Special Agendas cannot be rewarded immediately only on an update stream by Arcadum. All current Special Agendas can be found HERE.Loyalty:
Loyalty is a system that can reward Faction members for staying in a Faction while supporting it, and can reward the Faction itself with specific benefits. This system has a direct correlation with Agendas. What it is:- A set of incentives to motivate players to remain in the Faction.
- A cumulative Faction currency, which can be used to unlock Faction upgrades.
- Faction achieves an Agenda and its members receive loyalty levels.
- Faction members update their character sheet with their loyalty levels.
- The Agenda DM updates the character list with the loyalty increase to the Faction.
- The stat listing sheet has a field that calculates how many loyalty points each Faction has. When a player leaves the Faction or dies, the amount of loyalty he had is subtracted from the Faction loyalty level pool.
- The bonuses obtained by loyalty are capped at 5 loyalty. The loyalty will still increase but the bonuses will not increase beyond 5.
- A salary increase from downtime day jobs of 5 gold
- +1 increase to HP
- Loyalty unlocks special Faction related bonuses, feats, classes and items.
- Loyalty levels accumulate and unlock certain upgrades when a Faction has enough loyalty between its members, kind of like reaching waypoints in a progress bar.
- Loyalty and Loyalty Benefits are granted when you complete a Long Rest.
Faction Loyalty Level:
A Faction’s total loyalty is determined by the total loyalty level of all of its members. For example, if a Faction has 10 members and each of these members has 1 loyalty level, the Faction has a loyalty level of 10. Below is a list of milestones that give special rewards when that Faction Loyalty Level is reached. Unlocks list:- 15, Downtime - The Faction itself gains downtime days as if it were a player, if 3 were awarded to the player base, the Faction gets 3. These can only be used to progress Agendas.

When you RP the purchase with the Quartermaster of a Faction with this milestone, you do not need to spend a downtime day on shopping. If you do not, you must spend a downtime day to do so. In both cases you will need to submit a trading log in the trading-log chat below is an example.

Non-members and Factionless must RP the purchase of these materials. If your Faction has access to the Naga Brewery, the medical ward also stocks 1 Clarity Brew, 1 Tranquil Brew, 3 Healer’s Brews, and 3 Reverant Brews each update stream.
