# Alignment

There are two major **alignments**; **order** and **chaos**; and a non-alignment, which is **neutral**. A player character starts the game with _neutral_ (0) as alignment.&#x20;

```
ORDER    NEUTRAL    CHAOS
6 5 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

```

Alignment changes over time, as your deeds affect how you are aligned with the rest of the world. As you work for others such as factions, lords, employers, etc. and do their bidding, your alignment slides toward theirs.

### NPC Alignment

For non-player characters (NPC), you can use a simpler alignment such as below:

<table><thead><tr><th width="74.66666666666666">d6 </th><th width="119">Alignment</th><th width="204">Alignment Subtype</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>Chaos</td><td>Reward/Punishment</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Chaos</td><td>Self-interest</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>Neutral</td><td>Pleasing others</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>Neutral</td><td>Law and Order</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>Order</td><td>Social contract</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>Order</td><td>Principle</td></tr></tbody></table>
