| == Allegiance Structure ==
| |
| | |
| === Monarchs ===
| |
| Monarchs are the leader, and highest [[Rank]]ing officer, of an [[Allegiance]].
| |
| | |
| === Vassals and Patrons ===
| |
| In Asheron's Call, a vassal swears allegiance ([[Loyalty]]) to you, making you their Patron. This bond helps you build [[Rank]], and generates [[XP Passup]] for you. In return, it is common for you to provide [[Loot]] and other assistance to aid them in their character advancement.
| |
| | |
| Like vassals, the patron can also swear allegiance to another patron, and the vassal may acquire vassals of his or her own. All of a patron's vassals, and their vassals, and so on, are known collectively as that patron's followers. As vassals become patrons, they in turn rise in [[Allegiance Rank]].
| |
| | |
| ==== Loyalty and Leadership ====
| |
| Vassals automatically pass experience points up to their patrons. These experience points are not taken from the vassal's earned total, buy are extra points generated especially for the patron. Each patron passes points up to his or her patron in, on up to the monarch. How much experience a patron receives from each vassal depends upon the patron's [[Leadership]] skill and the vassal's [[Loyalty]] skill. The higher these skills are, the more experience is gained by the patron. For this reason, player characters with high Loyalty are highly prized as potential vassals. The number of experience points passed up from vassal to patron also increases with the amount of time the vassal has been in the allegiance.

| === Allegiance Officers ===
| |
| Allegiance Officers exist to give more structure and control over what goes on in an allegiance. Officers have different ranks and each rank has its own powers or abilities that goes with it. See the main [[Allegiance Officers]] article for more information.
| |
| | |
| === Allegiance Panel ===
| |
| The [[Social Systems Panel#Allegiance|Allegiance Panel]] on the user interface provides buttons to swear allegiance and manage your direct allegiance ties. More advanced [[Allegiance Commands|commands]] are available for officers and monarchs to manage the structure of an allegiance.
