It explains how faction membership shapes play in D&D Adventurers League, including consequences of switching factions and the requirement for characters made with races from Volo’s Guide to Monsters to have a faction. The guide details faction advancement through renown and secret missions, and lists rank-based benefits and insignias, including Initiate, Agent, and Stalwart.","A Guide to the Factions of Faerûn  \nIn the Forgotten Realms, five factions have risen to prominence. Seeking to further their respective agendas while opposing destructive forces that threaten the folk of Faerûn, each faction has its own motivations, goals, and philosophy. While some are more heroic than others, all band together in times of trouble to thwart major threats.  \nOrganized Play: Chris Lindsay  \nD&D Adventurers League Wizards Team: Adam Lee, Chris Lindsay, Mike Mearls, Matt Sernett  \nD&D Adventurers League Administrators: Alan Patrick, Bill Benham, Travis Woodall, Claire Hoffman, Greg Marks, Lysa Chen  \nDUNGEONS & DRAGONS, D&D, Wizards of the Coast, Forgotten Realms, the dragon ampersand, Player’s Handbook, Monster Manual, Dungeon Master’s Guide, D&D Adventurers League, all other Wizards of the Coast product names, and their respective logos are trademarks of Wizards of the Coast in the USA and other countries.

Belonging to a faction sometimes means having responsibilities, but it also carries with it support and rewards for service. If you ever switch factions or leave a faction, you lose all ranks and renown with the old faction, and must start at the lowest rank with zero renown with your new faction.  \nIt is important to note that characters made with races from Volo’s Guide to Monsters are required to have a faction. If you leave your faction, the character is no longer playable, unless of course they’re moving to another faction approved for that race.  \nAdditional information on the specific factions can be found in the D&D Adventurers League Player’s Guide.  \nFaction Advancement and Benefits  \nAs a character with membership in one of the factions completes adventures, he or she earns renown for completing tasks that align with the faction’s goals. This is expressed as renown points rewarded at the end of any given adventure.  \nFaction Advancement  \n\n| As characters earn renown and complete secret missions, they progress in the ranks of their factions, granting them greater authority and additional benefits.\u003Cbr>Faction Advancement\u003Cbr>Rank Renown Other Requirements |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | 0 | \u003Cbr>— |\n| 2 | 3 | — |\n| 3 | 10 | \u003Cbr>5th level, 1 secret mission |\n| 4 | 25 | 11th level, 3 secret missions |\n| 5 | 50 | \u003Cbr>17th level, 10 secret missions |\n| Faction Benefits |  |  |\n\nRank 1: Initiate  \nThis is the rank a character receives when first joining a faction.
