'''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]]. |

The [[player]] is offered the choice between becoming a [[Cryoknight]], [[Guardian]], or [[Hammermage]] during the [[Nullify the corruption]] section of the [[Main Story]] [[quest]] in [[Hopeforest]].

The three factions form a "combat triangle" in which the magic used by one faction is strong against the second, but weak against the third. Some armor and weapons are only usable by one faction, including those crafted using professions in the [[Mine of Mantuban]]. Equipment made using each faction's respective crafting method will tend to carry the weaknesses inherent to that faction; for example, [[Blacksmith]] armor (worn by Cryoknights) will typically have low defensive stats against [[Tempestae]] (used by Hammermages). |

{{Quote2|You will discover powerful magic sources and become one of the legendary classes of old: Cryoknight, Guardian or Hammermage.
