Factions
Reputation and infamy with the groups of Cairn.
Grim Dawn's faction system tracks reputation and infamy with the groups of Cairn. Quests, bounties and kills against rival factions build reputation with friendly groups, which unlocks vendor discounts, special gear from quartermasters and extra side quests. Killing members of hostile factions builds infamy, which brings more of their forces and eventually their Nemesis enemies.
Background
The base game has 12 factions, seven friendly and five hostile, and Ashes of Malmouth and Forgotten Gods each add four more for a total of 20. Some choices change allegiances: during the main story the player must side with either Kymon's Chosen or the Order of Death's Vigil, and the other faction turns hostile.
