Starting Faction Standings

The "Starting Faction Standing" guide provides a comprehensive overview of the initial faction standings for characters in Everquest. This guide details how a character’s race, class, and chosen deity influence their relationships with the major factions across Norrath. Whether you're navigating the complex political landscape of city-states or simply trying to avoid hostile guards, understanding your starting faction standing is essential for every new adventurer. This resource allows players to plan their journey more effectively by offering insights into which factions will view them favorably—or with hostility—from the moment they enter the game. Contributions are welcome! Please ensure that all entries reflect initial standings only. If illusions or other effects are used to alter race, please update the race accordingly to reflect the change.

Antonica

Freeport

Freeport, one of the most significant cities in Norrath, is divided into three districts—West Freeport, North Freeport, and East Freeport—and is home to several key factions, each with their own influence over different areas of the city. Navigating Freeport’s various factions is essential for characters, as these groups determine how NPCs will interact with you, from welcoming gestures to outright hostility.

Grobb

Grobb is the home city of the Trolls, located in the southern swamps of Antonica. As a stronghold of the Troll race, Grobb's factions reflect its brutish and warlike nature.

The residents of Halas are fiercely loyal to their own kind and hold deep cultural and religious ties to The Tribunal. As a result, faction standings in Halas are primarily influenced by race, class, and deity alignment, with Barbarian players naturally finding themselves most welcome.
