Server:Faction
This article will attempt to explain how faction works server-side to assist with understanding the various modifiers applied to characters between the base values and the ones you experience in-game.
In the source code, faction is found in /common/faction.h and /common/faction.cpp. Faction is calculated in the CalculateFaction function, where
character_value += base value + class modifier + race modifier + deity modifier
