A faction is an organized group of like-minded individuals built around a core philosophical belief. There are fifteen factions in the Planescape setting, though only five can be joined by The Nameless One.
According to Able Ponder-Thought, there were once forty-nine factions in Sigil. At some point, the Lady of Pain declared that only fifteen should remain. Shortly thereafter, everyone who was not a member of one of the chosen factions wound up dead. This event came to be known as the Great Upheaval.
Joining a faction[]
A faction can be joined after its faction recruiter has been spoken to about membership and any assigned tasks or quests have been completed.
If the Nameless One is already a member of a faction, joining a different one will result in the loss of the original faction's benefits.
Swearing allegiance to a faction grants access to weapons, equipment, and other items unavailable elsewhere.
