Court Faction
There are three major factions in Maj'Dul called Courts: The Court of Truth, Coin and Blades. Each Court has a headquarters in the city of Maj'Dul, and a representative on the beach in The Sinking Sands.

To gain entry to the Court headquarters in Maj'Dul, you need 20,000 faction standing with that Court. The Sinking Sands quests listed below will give you this faction. Good standing with one of the Court factions brings the following benefits:
 * Gives you access to a banker, mender, broker, merchant, and quests within the Court headquarters in Maj'Dul.
 * Allows you to purchase a license to rent housing in Maj'Dul, and to be given the residence quest (which gives you the Call of Ro ability which is in addition to your call home).
 * With better faction standing, you can earn a special Title from the Court, and will be given a Court quest timeline, completion of which is necessary for the signature heroic quest Of Fate and Destiny.

You can earn good standing with a Court by doing repeatable quests in The Sinking Sands, listed below. Once you reach 20,000 faction, you will not be given any more quests in the Sinking Sands, and will be directed to a new representative in Maj'Dul for further faction quests.

Note: You can do all three sets of Court quests if you just want experience. However, this will be counterproductive in terms of earning faction. If Maj'Dul faction and/or residence is your goal, then choose one of the three Court NPCs, and do faction quests for that Court only.
