However, often a choice will be made that prioritizes one faction to the detriment of another.
Increasing Avyanna's reputation with various factions will allow an advanced version of their building to be created, letting her recruit higher-tier units. Yllian holds several 'faction' buildings that allow Avyanna to recruit units into her squad, beginning with the lowest-level units from each of the four factions: the Empire, Elven Alliance, Undead Hordes and Legions of the Damned. The game takes off when Avyanna suddenly discovers the ability to open a portal to an ancient, abandoned city called Yllian, creating a sanctuary from which she decides to either save Nevendaar from corruption and evil or conquer it. Companion units can equip a weapon and a shard, and regular units can equip only a shard, although equipment is regained if a unit dies.
Avyanna can gear up with a full range of equipment, including weapons, armor and boosts called Emotion Shards.
