Brotherhoods: Overview  

Brotherhoods allow players to unite their Allies within a well-organized command structure with one name, banner, and hierarchy.

Each member of a Brotherhood is given their own credentials, duties, and responsibilities within the group.
New features are coming soon: Coordinate massive battles for territory, precisely organize multi-pronged attacks, and compare your progress in the Brotherhood Rankings.
Creating a Brotherhood

Level 30 is required before you can create a Brotherhood.
Go to the Brethren Court and open the "My Brotherhood" tab, enter a unique name for your Brotherhood and design a logo with the help of the logo generator. Note: Once a name has been used no one else my use it, that doesn’t mean it cannot be mimicked though.
You can send other players offers to join your Brotherhood via the Friends list or by going to your Friend's Haven and clicking "Invite" on the Actions menu.

You can cancel sent invitations in the "Invitations" tab of your Brotherhood.
You can accept or decline the requests to join your Brotherhood in the "Applicants" tab of your Brotherhood.

A new brotherhood will start with 10 open slots. In order to add an additional 10 members you buy another berth, this is done with resources. The first berth 40,000 of each resource (gold, lumber, and rum). This cost will increase by 20,000 for each new berth with the final berth costing 200,000 of each resource. Also only the Brotherhood Leader is able to buy the next berth so you will have to send resources to your leader to expand the membership base.
Joining a Brotherhood  

You can join a Brotherhood in the following ways:
- accept another player's invitation in the "Brethren Courts" tab of your Brethren Court - your Envoy will inform you when you receive a new one.
- send a request to a Brotherhood Leader by clicking "Send request" in the "Brotherhoods" tab.

You can be a member of only 1 Brotherhood at a time.
To join another Brotherhood, you must first leave your current Brotherhood.
If you are a Brotherhood Leader and wish to join another Brotherhood, you have to delegate your status to another Brotherhood member first, before being able to leave the Brotherhood.
