Factions in Brighter Shores allow the player character to specialise in using a specific combat style, though all factions have access to melee, ranged and magic. Players start off as a guard with the option to choose between being a Cryoknight, Guardian or Hammermage.
Joining a faction takes place during the Nullify the corruption section of the Main Story quest in Hopeforest. This is a permanent choice, and cannot be changed later.
| “ | You will discover powerful magic sources and become one of the legendary classes of old: Cryoknight, Guardian or Hammermage. Which is fortunate, because something is corrupting the deepest reaches of the nearby Hopeforest, and only through the strength of your new-found powers will you be able to deal with it. | ” |
