There are several alignments in Ashen Empires. This is your "reputation" in Ashen Empires. The color in your name will reflect one of the following alignments:

Crusader*, Divine, Good, Neutral, Evil, Criminal, Scourge*
* = Flashing
NPC or Monster
GM or Developer

Crusader: Pure divine. You have been divine for an extended period of time, and are favoured by the gods. You are also entitled to a discount in good-town shops.

Divine: You are respected greatly by the "good" towns in Ashen Empires, though guards in "evil towns" will attempt to attack you if you enter their territory. You are also entitled to a discount in good-town shops.

Good: You are respected in "good" towns, and you are allowed in "evil" towns. You are also entitled to a discount in good-town shops.

Neutral: You are allowed in both "good" and "evil" towns.

Evil: You are allowed in both "good" and "evil" towns. You may only purchase items and "evil" towns.

Criminal: You are only allowed in "evil" towns. You will be killed by guards if you are found around a "good" town.

You gain alignment by hunting creatures that are near your level, by completing quests for Lotorian knights, and by completing the Chaos Knight quest line.

You lose alignment by attacking town NPCs and other players (an exception to this rule is if you attack a criminal or scourge) and by casting aid spells on criminals. If you cause disruption in town or loot another player, you will be classed as a "temporary" criminal. While your name flashes in and out of the color grey, if you enter the area in or around a "good" town, you will be attacked and killed by guards.

There are two store items which affect alignment. "Boost Alignment" increases your alignment gain for one hour while "Reverse Alignment" reverses the alignment gain by your character. The effects of these items stack with one another.
