For the Free Alliance, I thought of a different system, there are 4 races, each one could involve a rather long or hard quest to acquire their 'token', and depending on how many tokens you have, you get your rank. You would start out with a token for your own race. The Tokens themselves would be 'Token of the (Race)-Friend' (Token of the Elf-Friend, Token of the Dwarf-Friend, Token of the Hobbit-Friend, Token of the Human-Friend).
4 Tokens (Dwarf, Elf, Hobbit, Human) Defender of the Last Alliance
3 Tokens (Any combination) - Warden of the Free Peoples
2 Tokens (Any combination) - Friend of the Free Peoples
1 Token (Race-Acquired) - (Elf, Dwarf, Hobbit, Human) -Friend
- Any expansions, comments, questions, or suggestions on either of the above systems are always welcome.
