	An allegiance differs greatly from a fellowship. A fellowship is a group that lasts for a single adventuring session, potentially sharing experience points evenly, or not all, between its members. When you exit the game, you leave the fellowship. For more information on fellowships, see the in-game help, or read the article: "[[Coordinating a Fellowship~~#Microsoft Zone Article~~\|<font color=#FFFFCC><u>Coordinating a Fellowship</u></font>]]."

	Swearing allegiance puts you in a more permanent relationship with other characters. When you swear to a character, you become his or her "vassal" and that character becomes your "patron." Your patron may have other vassals and a patron of his or her own; therefore, you become part of an extended allegiance group until you break your allegiance to your patron, if ever.

	The number of vassals needed to gain each rank follows a geometric progression. The fewest number of underlings needed to gain each rank equals 2 to the power of that rank, minus 2: that is, 0 for rank 1, 2 for rank 2, 6 for rank 3, 14 for rank 4, etc. To promote someone to rank 10, which corresponds to the Aluvian title of "High King," would require the participation of no less than 1,022 characters! Note that however low in rank, the leader of an allegiance is called a monarch. If you have only one vassal of rank 1, you are a monarch, but you've got a long, long way to go to become High King!

	Putting together a good allegiance is a work of real creativity. The terms you offer your vassals to secure their service and motivate them can express a magnanimous nature or a diabolically cunning knack for management, either of which may appeal to people. However, you've got to write those terms down. Make a contract for your allegiance, and share it in the game world. For inspiration, you can view some sample contracts in the various allegiance sites listed in the [[Allegiance Hall\|<font color=#FFFFCC><u>Allegiance Hall</u></font>]]. Good luck in your quest for power, fame, and camaraderie!</div>		Putting together a good allegiance is a work of real creativity.

	One advantage that allegiances share with fellowships is that they allow members to more easily communicate with each other. You can use the chat menu to set an option directing all your chat messages only to your vassals, your patron, or your monarch (who might, of course, also be your patron). You can also use the command /v, /p, or /m, followed by a comma, to likewise restrict your chat for the current message. For example, the following message would be sent to all your vassals: /v, I've got a flaming silver ken for the first of my subjects to meet me by the tree at grid coordinates 35.2N, 23.1E. Bear in mind that chatting with your vassals doesn't put you in communication with their vassals. If you want a message to reach the entire allegiance, make sure you follow up with distant superiors and underlings, because your message may not get passed on -- or may even become altered. For instance, if you tell your vassals that you are giving them 50,000 pyreals to give to their vassals, they may generously inform their vassals that they've received 5,000 and pocket the rest. Such are the hazards of court intrigue.		One advantage that allegiances share with fellowships is that they allow members to more easily communicate with each other.
