If they like you enough, they might just invite you to join them. PCs’ relationships with these factions can affect faction standings and even plot throughout events. So choose who you back wisely!" "As faith gets passed and traded throughout the settlement, so do the values and ideals of these faiths. Whispers of the Wind is a KQC band that follows the sounds of the sea. Headed by the fun-loving Flo Gowith, this band strives to share the beautiful sounds of the sea to those that will listen. Your character might like this faction if they are part of the Kings & Queen Court, have Proficient Travel, or love talking about faith." "Stay tuned to learn more about Mercy Pointe's Factions"

Get to know the factions of Mercy Pointe! These are NPC groups that your character can talk to and trade with. If they like you enough, they might just invite you to join them. Our last major faction are The Gearworkers! #dystopiarising #larp #drmi #michigan
A logo of a lightbulb surrounded by a gear sits over the words "Meet the Factions of Mercy Pointe -- The Gearworkers." The background is a photo of rusty gears. "Get to know the factions of Mercy Pointe! These are NPC groups that your character can talk to and trade with. If they like you enough, they might just invite you to join them. PCs’ relationships with these factions can affect faction standings and even plot throughout events. So choose who you back wisely!" "Derived from the great inventors of the past, this faction strives to provide the Wasteland with the glitz and glamour of Pre-Fall moving pictures. The Gearworkers are a faction based around sound, sight, and communication, being the reason why Mercy Pointe has a radio tower. This faction seems to have a chip on their shoulder… or perhaps it’s a grudge? Whatever it may be, tread carefully around this faction. You never know what they might do if you turn your back on them. Your character might like this faction if they have the Artisan skill, enjoy crafting and economics, or are attempting to invent the next big thing."

Get to know the factions of Mercy Pointe! These are NPC groups that your character can talk to and trade with. If they like you enough, they might just invite you to join them. Our next faction is Hope's Hand! #dystopiarising #larp #drmi #michigan
A logo of a hand reaching toward a small sun, with text surrounding it that says "Hope's Hand." Underneath is more text that reads "Meet the Factions of Mercy Pointe -- Hope's Hand." The background is of a destroyed wall with trees behind it. "Get to know the factions of Mercy Pointe! These are NPC groups that your character can talk to and trade with. If they like you enough, they might just invite you to join them. PCs’ relationships with these factions can affect faction standings and even plot throughout events. So choose who you back wisely!" "This faction has developed due to the sheer number of those in the Wasteland that have found themselves without homes, families, or anything of their own. While many have fallen to despair and resentment to the world, Hope’s Hand is built around the belief that, while their worlds have fallen apart, others may still have hope. Hope’s Hand is a militant faction that recently was pushed north due to the harsh condition of the wasteland. With the promise of a new settlement, Mercy Pointe, the faction at large decided to put down some roots to protect the hope of those that call this place home. Your character might like this faction if they have a lot of Impact skills, are interested in themes of war and its costs, or just enjoy swinging a (fake) weapon."

Get to know the factions of Mercy Pointe! These are NPC groups that your character can talk to and trade with. If they like you enough, they might just invite you to join them. Our third faction is The Orchard! #dystopiarising #drmi #larp #horror #michigan
A logo of a cross cut apple with a stem and leaf on top. Underneath, text reads "Meet the Factions of Mercy Pointe -- The Orchard." The background image is of an orchard of trees. "Get to know the factions of Mercy Pointe! These are NPC groups that your character can talk to and trade with. If they like you enough, they might just invite you to join them. PCs’ relationships with these factions can affect faction standings and even plot throughout events. So choose who you back wisely!" "If you are hiking off the beaten path in Mercy Pointe, you are probably within The Orchard’s territory. The Orchard is an organization dedicated to the protection of the plants and animals within Mercy Pointe and the surrounding area. With Driftwood Dover’s destruction, they are even more keen to protect what still remains. This faction has taken a more militant tone in the present day, attempting to protect what they call their own. Along with the militaristic growth, this faction has begun expeditions below ground, hoping to care for all the flora and fauna within the ecosystem. Your character might like this faction if they have the Agriculture skill, are a part of the Tribes of the Seasons, or enjoy nature-focused themes."

Get to know the factions of Mercy Pointe! These are NPC groups that your character can talk to and trade with. If they like you enough, they might just invite you to join them. First up, we have The Wayfaring Strangers! #dystopiarising #drmi #larp #horror #michigan
A graphic of a lighthouse inside of a compass, set over the text "Meet the Factions of Mercy Pointe" [line graphic] "The Wayfaring Strangers" "Get to know the factions of Mercy Pointe!

This seaside faction is a Sainthood organization built around the notion of hospitality. This faction commonly sails the waters in the lakesea area looking for lost souls, lost items, and helping wherever they can. Recently, they have set permanent roots within the town of Mercy Pointe, being the “face” of the settlement. While altruistic in nature, many fear that the helpful nature of this faction may lead to its own downfall. Or, and perhaps the more believed theory, is that this altruism is a facade. Your character might like this faction if they have the Travel skill [Proficient], are a part of the Sainthood of Ashes, or have a knack for hospitality and social roleplay!"
