First up, the events themselves.
This is the first iteration of the event system that covers the groundwork of things to come
On debut of this system, there will be several possible combat scenarios that will spawn across the overworld, so make sure you're well equipped!
These events will appear once every 15-20 minutes and 'trigger' once you are near.

Each faction can also be traded with, offering tradeable armor sets and cosmetic building parts.
Once you contribute 1000 points to a faction, you can align with them to unlock a unique perk, The greater your contribution and the more store tiers that you cap out, the greater the benefit of the affiliation. These perks have various effects that help make characters more powerful in combat, better at surviving, better at taming, or better at resource gathering.
You can find each faction representative at Mirmek, Lisanda, Skadi and Drustana.
