Factions

The world of Inferna is divided between two surviving kingdoms locked in eternal conflict. Your faction choice is the most important decision you'll make, as it determines your allies, enemies, and role in the grand struggle for Pangaea's remnants.

The Eternal War

After the Night of Infernumantis destroyed the kingdoms of Esford and Orin, the surviving kingdoms of Jerro and Caratas turned on each other. Each blames the other for the catastrophe that shattered the Pact Unitates and brought ruin to the empire.

IMPORTANT: Faction choice is permanent and affects:

• Starting location and capital city
• Allied vs enemy players in PvP
• Access to faction-specific territories
• Participation in faction wars
• Guild allegiances
