Citizenship Timeline

               {{rtoc}}
:''For information on changing your alignment by [[Betrayal]], see the [[Betrayal Timeline]]. For the original citizenship quests, see [[Citizenship and Subclasses Timeline]].''

In [[EverQuest II]] you cannot be a citizen of more than one [[:Category:Cities|city]]. Though you can't claim citizenship in multiple cities, you can change your citizenship. You can either change your citizenship by completing quests to move to a city of the same alignment or you can [[Betrayal Timeline|betray]] your city if you are from the opposing alignment.

=== Change of Citizenship versus Betrayal ===
Though it is listed as a betrayal quest in the quest journal, changing citizenship for residents of the same alignment differs from the actual betrayal process because you're not changing your alignment. A genuine betrayal is when you go from a city of evil or good alignment to a city of the opposite alignment; the process of doing so requires you to become an Exile first and the completion of several quests to win the trust of your new alignment.

Whether you are changing citizenship or betraying your city to change your alignment, you will lose the ability to use the Call Home that teleports to that city instantly and it will be replaced with teleportation to the new city. For example, your Call Home ability that used to teleport you to Freeport will be replaced with one that send you to Gorowyn if you change your citizenship from Freeport to Gorowyn. As of 2011 the abilities that were once named Call of the Overlord (etc.) were all standardized and renamed Call to Home. 

Cities and their alignments are as follows:

* Maj'dul offers residency and doesn't require betrayal or a change of citizenship.  See the last section on this page to become a resident.
* To switch to a city of the opposing alignment, you must first [[Betrayal Timeline|betray your current city]].  After you have betrayed, you must [[Betrayal_Timeline#How_To_End_Your_Exile|end your exile.]]
*In 2011 multiple home ownership was added to EQ2. It is not necessary to change your citizenship to own a home in a city of the same alignment.

=Becoming a Resident of [[Maj'Dul]]=
You can not actually become a citizen of or betray to [[Maj'Dul]], but you can become a resident.  You'll retain your old citizenship and once you have the required faction, you will be able to buy a home there. 

You have to earn access to one of the three Courts in Maj'Dul so that you can buy [[a Maj'Dul Residency License]]. The license is required to purchase a home there. Completing [[Becoming a Resident of Ro]] will earn you an extra ability, [[Call of Ro]]. You do not have to own a home in Maj'Dul to get ''Call of Ro'', but it is a good idea to have it if you intend to have a home there.

#Do the quests in one of the [[Sinking Sands Timeline#Faction Quests|Faction Quests]] series of the [[Sinking Sands Timeline]] to gain faction with one of the 3 Courts.
#Continue with [[Maj'Dul Timeline#Faction Quests|Faction Quests]] in the [[Maj'Dul Timeline]] until you have sufficient faction to gain entrance to a Court.
#Complete your residency by completing the following steps:
#*The quest {{Quest|Becoming a Resident of Ro}} will earn you the [[Call of Ro]] ability.
#*Purchase [[a Maj'Dul Residency License]] in your Court if you wish to buy a house in [[Maj'Dul]].
