The Lord of the Rings Alignment and Factions
The Alignment system is the core mechanic of the mod. Your alignment score (ranging from -10,000 to +10,000) determines how NPCs of a specific faction treat you. You can view your alignment by pressing the 'L' key.

| Rohan | Good | Isengard, Dunland, Mordor |
| The Shire | Good | Angmar, Gundabad |
| Mordor | Evil | Gondor, Rohan, Elves |
| Isengard | Evil | Rohan, Fangorn, Gondor |

Alignment Effects
- Positive Alignment: Allows you to trade with NPCs, hire units, and use faction-specific crafting tables.
- Negative Alignment: Causes NPCs of that faction to attack you on sight. If your alignment is low enough, they may launch Invasions against you.
- Pledging: At +100 alignment, you can 'Pledge' to a faction, which grants access to elite units and the ability to conquer territory for that faction.
