There’s always something going on in Windrose, whether it’s sailing across the seas or building your own base. To truly enjoy the game, you need to interact with other factions on the map. Doing so helps you unlock new rewards and gain allies for naval battles when things get tough.
Each faction is located in a different spot on the map, and all of them can be found if you explore. We’ll go over how to befriend each one and what they can give you as your reputation with them grows. Check out the details and see which faction feels right for you!
All Factions in Windrose
There are four factions at the start of Windrose, each on a separate island. Their main bases are home to a leader, provisioner, buyer, and bounty collector. You’ll also find representatives from these factions at Tortuga’s port.
Below are the factions, along with the items they sell as your reputation increases. Keep in mind that because the map is procedurally generated, exact locations for their bases may vary.
