Faction System
Your reputation with the world's factions shapes how NPCs treat you and what opportunities open.
Standing: Ranges from deeply hostile to revered. Actions in the world -- combat kills, quest choices, dialogue -- shift your standing.
Trust: A separate measure (0-100) that tracks how much a faction trusts you personally. Trust unlocks special services, quests, and dialogue options.
Betrayal: Major actions against a faction may trigger a permanent betrayal flag, dramatically altering your relationship. Choose carefully.
Your ancestry affects starting standings with various factions.
