Editing Factions

[[File:Factions.jpg|thumb|right|Examples of the three factions.]]
'''Factions''' in [[Brighter Shores]] allow the [[player]] 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 in the Main Quest of [[Hopeforest (episode)|Episode 2 - Hopeforest]].

<!-- Commenting all of this out for the time being. A reddit post a while ago called the wiki out for being wrong and making assumptions on a single image, which is a fair criticism. We'll update this section once the game comes out and we know more about the differences between the various factions.
