Alignment

Every Dofus character has an alignment. However, the system is more akin to factions than the traditional kind of alignment.

Alignments
Characters of one alignment can only aggress characters of different alignments. Similarily, many aligned NPCs will only fight characters of opposing alignment; some will also turn aggro.

Neutral
Neutral is the default alignment, and is linked to Amakna. Neutrals cannot aggress other characters, but they get a level 100 knight on their side if someone aggresses them on neutral territory.

A non-neutral character with alignment level below 20 can become neutral by paying the knight NPC at (4,0) 2000 kama.

Bontarian (angel)
Those siding with the city of Bonta. They can be spotted by the white angel-like wings above their name.

Neutral characters can join Bonta's side by starting the Bontarian Quest of the Wings at (-33,-57).

Brakmarian (devil)
Those siding with the city of Brakmar. They can be spotted by the red devil-like wings above their name.

Neutral characters can join Brakmar's side by starting the Brakmarian Quest of the Wings at (-23,38).

Seriane Kern (mercenary)
The Seriane Kern have no city of their own, but their headquarters are located in Astrub.

Seriane is a player-run association, but has not yet been started on Rushu. There is no known ETA, as it requires a solid player organization to take form first. The wings that appear above their names appear to be green and mechanical.

Alignment level
Characters of non-neutral alignment have an alignment level, and can perform quests to raise it. For bontarians and brakmarians, every 20 levels give specialization in certain orders. The benefits for Seriane are unknown. In addition, aligned characters can fight for honor and PVP rank (see below).

The downside of having an alignment level is increased energy loss on death.

Rank
Aligned characters also have the option of activating PVP mode. In this mode, they can gain honor by defeating characters of opposing alignments in aggressions. Honor determines your PVP rank, which gives various benefits, including the ability to use certain shields.

Changing Alignment
You may change your alignment only if you are below lvl 20 in your alignment. Go talk to Knight Neuthr at (4,0) in Amakna. He will charge you 2,000 kamas for becoming neutral again. ( note alignments are only for p2p or pay to play)
