Factions

Factions are one of the major gameplay elements in the Game of Thrones Mod: Winter is Coming to Minecraft mod. There are a few different types of factions, all of which are to be named here:

Lesser Faction
A lesser faction is the category most factions fall under, factions such as House Blackwood fall under this category. They are factions that usually do not contain much except for an armor set that can be obtained and a mob dedicated to it.

Major Faction
A major faction is the category far more predominant factions such as the Night's Watch fall under. The category is for large factions that do not qualify as Great House factions.

Great House Faction
A Great House Faction is the largest of the bunch and is reserved for only the 9 great houses. A Great House faction is the only faction type(in most cases) to have Banners,Armor and Hirable Units. An example of a Great House faction would be House Lannister.
