Faction Items You can’t earn special items from your faction anymore, but you do keep the items you’ve already earned. Your Faction benefits have changed. Your renown now applies to your background rather than to your faction. Faction If your devotion to the Zhentarim is eternal, you can change your current background feature to the Faction Agent’s Safe Haven background feature (see SCAG p. 187) to remain in your faction. On that note, lawful evil characters are required to have this background feature with the Zhentarim or Lord’s Alliance. Chaotic and neutral evil are still illegal alignments.
