# Clans and Factions

You can buy faction shares, a faction share provides you with some passive income based on a faction’s outcome. Faction shares are limited and issued by us at the start of the game. Faction shares can allow “voting” on different decisions. (e.g. a bonus per faction can be selected, or building “keeps” for immediate stashing and defense)

●      Clans can be formed inside the factions., similarly clans shares can be bought. Forming a clan is expensive, however the clan shares can be sold at the market. Clan shares are issued to the clan creator.

●      Clan members vote on who to invite into the clan. Each week a clan chest will be generated and given to the players (these chests will be produced from defeated/mined/adventured fees, (so no direct generation))
