Hidden War: Siphon Gate City - Factions

The Player Factions of Siphon Gate City Brief Overview

The Angellan
  Beings of radiance that hide within unknowing mortals.  Sealed away tethered to the reincarnation of the human soul they are bound to.  These ancient forces have been dominant for centuries, but now as the balance of earth shifts to the darkness, they awaken.  Forces of light with a purpose have first awoken in Siphon city.  And now they aim to create a symbol of light out of this city.


The Dark Kin
  Creatures created in ancient time that feel of the darkness of mankind.  Growing strong by steering the morality of man downwards into the dark.  Sometimes called vampires, demons or other monsters in myths of man.  The hope to turn the city into a gate and breeding ground for there kind.


The Guardians
  With outside forces of the supernatural rise over the city.  Mortal mages begin to band together.  Earth is our realm, and only we and the humans of this world should guide it's course.  Our goal is to seal and banish the outsiders that attempt to take our world from us.

RoaE: How Hirelings Work

  This post will explain how hirelings to work in Relics of an Empire.  Each act the available hirelings will be posted.  They will have a name, wants, abilities, and possibly loyalty.  First step to gaining access to a hirelings assistance is to gain loyalty from it.  If you have zero loyalty with the Hireling, you take the Gain loyalty of a Hireling to gain a base loyalty.   If you have at least one loyalty to the hireling, you may appeal to their wants without taking an action, more on wants later.

  Once you have any loyalty with a hireling you may attempt to command them.  Though so can any other player with loyalty.  The Hireling will take the action of the character with highest loyalty, however, the player will lose 2 loyalty if any other player with loyalty asked the hireling in question to act as well.  If you have loyalty the hireling, but you did not ask them to this turn, you can appeal to their wants.  If you have a trait the hireling seeks or if the hireling wants a resource, you increase their loyalty for each trait you possess and once for every two resources your willing to spend on the hireling.


Example coming soon.
