Court Quests Edit

See Court of the Blades Timeline , Court of the Coin Timeline , Court of Truth Timeline .

There are three major factions in Maj'Dul called Courts: The Court of Truth, the Coin and the Blades. Each Court has a headquarters in the city of Maj'Dul, and a representative on the beach in The Sinking Sands.

Raising Court Faction Edit

To gain entry to the Court headquarters in Maj'Dul , you need 20,000 faction standing with that Court. You can earn faction points by doing the repeatable quests from the docks area. Once you reach 20,000 faction, you will not receive any more quests in the Sinking Sands, and will be directed to a new representative in Maj'Dul for further faction quests. Alternatively, to gain faction directly, you can kill rival faction members in Maj'Dul, and turn in their Insignia Coins to the appropriate Court Counsel in the Tower of the Moon .

Good standing with one of the Court factions brings the following benefits:

• Gives you access to a banker, mender, broker, merchant, and quests within the Court headquarters in Maj'Dul.
• Allows you to purchase a license to rent housing in Maj'Dul, and to be given the residence quest (which gives you the Call of Ro ability which is in addition to your call home).
• With better faction standing, you can earn a special Title from the Court, and will be given a Court quest timeline, completion of which is necessary for the signature heroic quest The Courts of Maj'Dul: Of Fate and Destiny .

Note: You can do all three sets of Court quests in Sinking Sands if you just want to earn experience. However, this is counterproductive in terms of earning faction - you will end up with all three factions hostile to you. If Maj'Dul faction and/or residence is your goal, then choose one of the three Court NPCs, and do faction quests for that Court only.
