Fellowship of Champions
Factions in Relicblade represent in-world alliances rather than hard gameplay limitations. Players enter the world of Relicblade as Seekers, the unseen masters of fate. Rather than playing as a military commander, like in other games, players are masters of destiny who gather champions from distant lands to undertake dangerous quests.
The bold adventuring parties of Relicblade are not faction based armies, they are fellowships of sometimes unlikely allies who bravely face whatever dangers lie ahead.
Alignment
There are only two alignments in Relicblade, the path of the Advocate and the Adversary. Players must choose which path they will follow. Will you command bold heroes on a righteous quest for hope, or harness the fury of terrible monsters to carve your dark domain?
Seekers have the power to influence champions with their same alignment. Good Seekers cannot influence the fate of corrupted skull-faced sorcerers, but a simple nudge will set a brave Cleric of Justice on a quest for hope.
Neutral characters stand at a fateful crossroad. These are characters who have not chosen a path. Once a neutral character is influenced by a Seeker, they are forever committed to their Seeker’s alignment.
