Faction Guide

If you're reading this, you've survived your first mission—or at least stumbled into the archives without being eaten, cursed, or turned inside out by extraplanar nonsense. Congratulations. You’ll find no shortage of things trying to kill you in this line of work, but often the greatest danger isn’t the beast in the ruins—it’s the flag flying over it.

This section of the Chronicle is dedicated to the organizations and factions operating throughout Golarion. These are the banners, codes, cults, and coin-fuelled collectives that shape our world. Some you'll ally with. Some you'll oppose. And some will smile to your face while they bury a knife in your back—politely, of course.

Know them. Understand them. Learn how they think, what they want, and what they fear. The difference between a welcomed guest and a hunted intruder often comes down to whether or not you remembered which god they burn incense to on Friday.
