Shattered Kingdoms

So in 'help roleplay', there is a diagram

Alignment -> Religion -> Faction -> Relationships

My question is, which is more important, Cabal or Tribunal? Is there a set Imm stance, or is it up to the character. Given that you can only have 1 char in a cabal and they tend to have more involved oaths/etc, I suspect maybe cabal is more important but that's just my 2 cents.

I'd say it greatly depends on your character and your alignment and/or religion.

For an easy example, let's take a paladin of XYZ good god.
For this character, it's just a matter of order. If he swore vows to a cabal first and tribunal later, the cabal would come first, except for times where his god would force him to prioritize his tribunal for whatever reason.

A hellion on the other hand would likely prioritize whatever is convenient to him at the time and make up a logically stated reasoning about it.

For unprincipled/scrupulous characters it really is up to whatever they feel like at the time, so long as their factions tolerate them.

That help any?

This is totally up to your character's role-play.

There may be different repercussions if you are ever forced to make those choices in-character, but you get to make that value judgement that best suits your character's role-play.


Within the "hierarchy" of factions, though....
- the deity character basically "owns" the worshipper's soul, so religious faction usually is top priority...
- cabals are more "elite" factions overall, so they usually tend to trump tribunals...
- tribunals represent a homeland... home is where the heart is....
