| | |
| Allegiances are one of the two social systems in Asheron's Call along with [[Fellowships]]. Similiar to that of a feudal society, character's swear allegiance to other character of equal or greater level, promising their [[Loyalty]] in return for equipment and guidance.
| |
| | |
| Unlike members of a fellowship, players who belong to the same allegiance do not necessarily adventure together, though they may decide to from time to time.

| ==Allegiance Structure==
| |
| ===Monarchs, Vassals and Patrons===
| |
| ''See also: [[Allegiance Rank]]''
| |
| | |
| Monarchs are the leader, and highest [[Rank]]ing officer, of an [[Allegiance]].
| |
| | |
| 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===
| |
| ''Main article: [[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.
| |
| | |
| ===The 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.
| |
| | |
| ==Communicating with your Allegiance==
| |
| ''Main article: [[Allegiance Communication]]''
| |
| | |
| ==Allegiance Meeting Areas==
| |
| ===Meeting Halls===
| |
| Introduced in [[Shadows of the Past]], [[Meeting Hall]]s were added to most town to give players a location to meet without fear of [[Portal Storm]]s.
| |
| | |
| [[Bind Stone]]s were later added to give allegiances a quick way to reach [[Towns]] and their meeting halls. Found outside each hall, the bind stones can be used by monarchs and [[Allegiance Officers]] of rank 3 and above to set a [[Allegiance Commands|town recall]] point.
| |
| | |
| ===Housing===
| |
| When owned by a monarch, [[Villas]] and [[Mansions]] can be [[Allegiance Commands|recalled]] to by everyone else in the allegiance. Housing storage can also be shared by allegiance members providing they have been permitted to by the monarch or a rank 3 [[Allegiance Officers|Allegiance Officer]]. Mansions are more often the housing type of choice for an allegiance as villas cannot use portal devices despite them being hookable in a villa.
