Wheel of Time:  Factions	Some of these faction's quests will move into the main story questing.  The orientation of the faction will determine where the player goes to start the main quests.  Alignment is also a faction.  Example, if the player is an Ashaman he will get his main quest from Rand, if he is also a dark friend, one of the Forsaken will alter that quest.

	Description:  The national militaries are very similar.  A player that wants to be a warrior would probably first begin as a member of their national military.  Later they may join the Band or other militaries.

	Descriptions:  Mainly the Aiel would belong to these factions.  Other races could be adopted into the Aiel race but would probably need to go through a lot of trials to get there.
Special Warrior Societies	Cha Faile	Unknown	Faile	0	Rand	All National Military Darkfriend		Not sure if we can use this faction.  The faction would have to join and follow Faile and would end up following the main quest too much.  Would get orders from Faile and then Perrin (not captured with Faile.)  I think this faction would interfere with the main quest of our mod. I would prefer that Faile learn something and assign the main quest, since it is her society.	http://encyclopaedia-wot.org:8008/organizations/cha_faile.html
	Band of the Red Hand	Unknown	Mat Cauthon	0	Rand	All National Military Dark friend		Old notes:  This faction may interfere with the main quest of our mod.  Mat assigns the main quest for this faction.  This would be dependant on where in time our mod starts.	http://encyclopaedia-wot.org:8008/organizations/band_red_hand.html
	Children of the Light	Yes	Lord Captain Pedron Niall; Lord Captain Eamon Valda	15	Children of the Light	Dark friend		Two paths of growths in this faction.  Questioner path or military.  Could add spy as well but we have quite a few factions already.  Yes, the Children of the Light would love to own the object that the main quest needs to protect/destroy etc.   Main quest given by one of the leaders or lead Questioners.  It just depend on when in time you get the quest since leadership has changed. Definitely vote to keep this faction in.  Very fun for questing.	http://encyclopaedia-wot.org:8008/organizations/whitecloaks.html
	Dragonsworn	Yes	Masema	15	Masema	Dark friend		This faction follows the prophet.  Made for the savage players.  They may pillage, loot, whatever and because they do it for the dragon and the prophet, they will rise.   If the mod starts mid books the player could get the main quest from Messema.	http://encyclopaedia-wot.org:8008/organizations/dragonsworn.html
	Younglings	Yes	Gawyn Trakand	15		Dark friend		This is another faction that would need to start mid books.  Main quest would be given by Gawyn.  Team would need to think how this faction would work.  It doesn't have as much to it as the other warrior societies but could turn out very well.	http://encyclopaedia-wot.org:8008/organizations/younglings.html
	Legion of the Dragon	Yes	Rand	15	Rand	All National Military Dark friend		Rand is the leader of this faction.  They are the fighting group that failed the test to become Ashaman.  Another faction that would work best if we started mid book.  Main quest would be given by Rand.	http://encyclopaedia-wot.org:8008/organizations/legion_dragon.html
	Warders	No		0		Dark friend		Not sure how this one would work if joinable.  Would you get an Aes Sedai companion after you join this?
	Black Eyes (Seia Doon)	Unknown	Maeric - Shaido	0	Rhuarc	Dark friend
	Brothers of the Eagle (Far Aldazar Din)	Unknown	Bendhuin	0	Rhuarc	Dark friend
	Dawn Runners (Rahien Sorei)	Unknown		0	Rhuarc	Dark friend
	Knife Hands (Sovin Nai)	Unknown		0	Rhuarc	Dark friend
	Maidens of the Spear (Far Dareis Mai)	Yes		15	Rand	Dark friend
	Mountain Dancers (Hama N'dore)	Unknown		0	Rhuarc	Dark friend
	Night Spears (Cor Darei)	Unknown		0	Rhuarc	Dark friend
	Red Shields (Aethan Dor)	Yes	Juranai	15	Rhuarc	Dark friend
	Stone Dogs (Shae'en M'taal)	Yes	Turol	15	Rhuarc	Dark friend
	Thunder Walkers (Sha'mad Conde)	Yes	Roidan	15	Rhuarc	Dark friend
	True Bloods (Tain Shari)	Unknown		0	Rhuarc	Dark friend
	Water Seekers (Duadhe)	Unknown		0	Rhuarc	Dark friend
	Description:
Magic Users	Sul'dam/Damane	No		0	N/A	Dark friend		As said in the race section, we would probably be better off saving this for a later mod.  It is very interesting though.  The player would be Sul'dam and get a companion Damane who performed all the magic.  Lots of scripting involved so it will probably have to wait.  Unless we get a team member who doesn't want to do anything but do the scripting for this.	http://encyclopaedia-wot.org:8008/organizations/seanchan.html
	Sea Folk Windfinders	Unknown	None	0	Rand	Dark friend Aes Sedai - Salidar		Windfinders would get the main quest from the Mistress of the Ships. This one would have to be worked a bit for background story.  The Windfinders are under control of their captain and don't leave the ships.  There would have to be a reason that a Windfinder was assigned to go explore the world on her own.
	Aes Sedai - Salidar	Yes	Egwene	15	Egwene	Dark friend	Novice Accepted Full Sister	If each ajah is another faction then this would split.  Maybe we could make dependant factions.  A player joins Aes Sedai, then goes through novice and accepted.  Then joins the Ajah faction. Quest would be assigned by the Hall or Amrylin if there is one yet.	http://encyclopaedia-wot.org:8008/organizations/sas.html
	Aes Sedai - Tower	Yes	Suan; Elaida	15	Elaida	Dark friend	Novice Accepted Full Sister	Same as above for Salidar.  It depends on where the mod starts.  If we start at the beginning, then it is all tower and later you can chose to be a Tower, Rebel, or Neutral. If Neutral, you would get main quest from Cadsuane if main quest given mid book. If Tower, then Eliada. If Rebel, then Egwene.	http://encyclopaedia-wot.org:8008/organizations/aes_sedai/index.html
	Brown Ajah	Yes	Egwene or Elaida			Aes Sedai - Salidar Aes Sedai - Tower Dark friend	None	Prerequisite is to reach the level of full sister in either the Salidar or Tower Aes Sedai Factions.
	Green Ajah	Yes	Egwene or Elaida			Aes Sedai - Salidar Aes Sedai - Tower Dark friend	None	Prerequisite is to reach the level of full sister in either the Salidar or Tower Aes Sedai Factions.
	Blue Ajah	Yes	Egwene or Elaida			Aes Sedai - Salidar Aes Sedai - Tower Dark friend	None	Prerequisite is to reach the level of full sister in either the Salidar or Tower Aes Sedai Factions.
	White Ajah	Yes	Egwene or Elaida			Aes Sedai - Salidar Aes Sedai - Tower Dark friend	None	Prerequisite is to reach the level of full sister in either the Salidar or Tower Aes Sedai Factions.
	Red Ajah	Yes	Egwene or Elaida			Aes Sedai - Salidar Aes Sedai - Tower Dark friend	None	Prerequisite is to reach the level of full sister in either the Salidar or Tower Aes Sedai Factions.
	Grey Ajah	Yes	Egwene or Elaida			Aes Sedai - Salidar Aes Sedai - Tower Dark friend	None	Prerequisite is to reach the level of full sister in either the Salidar or Tower Aes Sedai Factions.
	Yellow Ajah	Yes	Egwene or Elaida			Aes Sedai - Salidar Aes Sedai - Tower Dark friend	None	Prerequisite is to reach the level of full sister in either the Salidar or Tower Aes Sedai Factions.
	Aiel Wise Woman	Yes	Varies depending on task	15	Rhuarc		Apprentice Wise One	Wise Woman is one of the easier factions. It doesn't matter where in the timeline we start the mod or main quest, this group is intact.  Unless they are Shaido.…
	Kin	Yes	The Knitting Circle - multiple	15	Egwene		Kin Knitting Circle	This faction also could begin at any timeline.  Main quest would be given by Alise or Reanne.  Would have to be handled differently because the Kin do not interfere with the Aes Sedai.	http://encyclopaedia-wot.org:8008/organizations/kin.html
	Asha'man	Yes	Rand	15	Rand		Soldier Dedicated Asha'man	This faction would also begin at the mid point in the book.  Basic training would be given at the black tower.  Then depending on alignment, either Rand, Mazram Tiem, or Logain would give the main quest.	http://encyclopaedia-wot.org:8008/organizations/ashaman.html
	Taim's Chosen				Taim	Asha'man Dark friend	None	Prerequisites are to be an Asha'man. Figure out a better name.
	Logain Dedicated				Logain/Rand	Asha'man Dark friend	None	Prerequisites are to be an Asha'man. Figure out a better name.
	Description:
Other Factions	Illuminators, Guild of	Unknown	One per city	0	N/A	Dark Friend		Mid-book, the Illuminators are disbanded, sort-of.  If we are giving main quest mid-book, then we would find someone who is supposed to still be alive and in leadership position to give the main quest.  Would need some detailed background to decide why the Illuminators would be involved in this, unless Rand or someone else asked them to get involved.	http://encyclopaedia-wot.org:8008/organizations/illuminators.html
	Tuatha'an/Tinkers/Traveling People	Yes	None	15	Rand	Dark Friend		As stated for race section, this could be a faction as well as a race.  This would allow a player to follow the main quest as a non-violent person.  They could also go against the traditions of their people and be spies and do thieving skills.
	Sea Folk	Unknown	Mistress of the Ships - Nesta din Reas Two Moons	0	Rand	Dark Friend Windfinder
	Dark friends	Yes	Forsaken, Mordeth	15	one of the Forsaken	All		Dark friends would be a faction on top of other factions.  Main quest could be given by either the other faction joined or this one.  Whichever, the Forsaken would change that quest so that it supports the Dark One.
	Ogiers	Yes	Elders - many	15	Rand	Seanchan Band of Red Hand		Ogiers is like the Tinkers or Sea Folk; not a true faction but a race that they "join" in order to get the main quests.  See Storyline for more details.
	Seanchan	No	Tuon		N/A	Dark Friend			http://encyclopaedia-wot.org:8008/organizations/seanchan.html
	Total Quests:			300
