Factions

===Mortal Enemies===
The '''mortal enemies''' are all the other factions a faction is in war with and with which they share a deep and harsh hate. In contrast to regular enemies, negotiations are impossible between mortal enemies. Furthermore, a faction will NEVER accept your friendship if you are already friends with their mortal enemies. Attacking a mortal enemy faction will win you conquest point and alignment with your faction. You'll slowly lose alignment with the two factions if you try to be friends both of with them at the same time. Lastly, you cannot pledge to a faction if you've got positive alignment with its mortal enemy.

Example: Dunland will distrust you if you are a friend of Rohan and won't let you get their friendship if you are pledged with Rohan. The Rohirrim will find odd you are friend with Dunlendings and your alignment with Rohan will drop too. If you want to spare your standing among the one, cancel it among the other (yes, life is really cruel).

If you want to make life less cruel, go to the mod settings and set "alignment drain" to "false".

'''Note: The ''Utumno'' faction is mortal enemy with all other factions. Therefore, it is not listed in the relations tables below.'''
