-There is a faction rank below Initiate called Apostate. Apostates are almost outlaws in the faction. If you are an Apostate for two weeks running, you will be eligible for removal from your faction by any of your faction Elders without using their bans. In addition, factions can pass laws restricting your faction interactions. Factions can not, however, prevent Apostates from regaining points and getting back into the good graces of the faction.

 '''''If other factions unlock techs, how can I learn those techs?'''''
-<br>You can either learn the techs from someone who has made the run to learn that tech (and belongs to the faction that controls the region the university is in), or you can wait until those who like unlocking technologies in your faction unlock the tech. If you like unlocking technologies, you are welcome to put in the effort. The more universities a faction controls, the cheaper research becomes. There are 13 capture-able universities across the map for each discipline (worship, art, leadership, etc.). Universities retain knowledge they have learned. By capturing another faction's University with techs which haven't been unlocked by the capturing faction, players can learn it from the captured University.

 '''''Do I have to choose a faction or be involved in faction game-play?'''''<br>
-Yes, you have to choose a faction to leave Welcome Island. No, you do not have to be involved in much of faction game-play. When you are not learning technologies, you will not interact with the faction system at all. In T9 we have region chats again so you can still chat with your neighbors if you don't have faction chat.

-Nothing relevant to normal play. This system is meant to augment how the tale works now. It is not altering every system, but this is designed to address the tech tree rush and the difficulty for new players to find a community. So, even if you don't want to be involved in donations for techs or fight for the loyalty of regions for your faction you can still be a part of a community. The regions really are just to get the community feel and to denote factional territorial control.

 '''''What are tributes? '''''
 <br>Tributes are donations to a region in an attempt to gain the loyalty of the unis in that region. Each (earth) week, tributes reset (CONFIRM?) and players in each faction have the opportunity to donate to earn loyalty for the region they want control of. What is the difference between a faction gaining control of a region and earning the loyalty of a uni? No difference. These are two different ways of saying the same thing: a faction offers tribute to gain control/loyalty of a region's universities. The tribute required by region A will be different than the one required by region B.  The tributes will also change between week one and two.
