E.3.11: Conceal faction [9591]


Usage:  automatic when necessary
Time to learn: 28 days.

Knowledge of 9591 causes a character to keep its faction affiliation secret. Other units attempting to learn the what player the unit belongs with the skill Determine character's lord [9521] will fail.

Permissions set for the player of a character concealing its faction affiliation will not include the character. For example, suppose unit [5499] is concealing the fact that it belongs to player [613]. Permissions declared for player [613] (such as ADMIT, DEFEND, etc.) will not include the sneaky unit [5499], since [5499] will not admit to an affiliation with [613].

Furthermore, such units will not DEFEND units from their own faction by default, since this might reveal their identity.
