Notes

Player belongs to the covenant as long as "Oath" Caryll Rune is equipped. You can switch freely between covenants by equipping respecting "Oath" Caryll Rune. Runes are: "Corruption" for Cainhurst Vilebloods, "Radiance" for Executioners, "Hunter" for Hunter of Hunters, "Impurity" for The League, "Beast's Embrace" for Beast and "Milkweed" for Lumenwood.

Factional Conflict: Your Oath Memory Slot marks your factional alignment. There are four possible Oath types: 'Corruption' for Vileblood, 'Radiance' for Executioner, 'Hunter' for Hunter of Hunters, and 'None'. Executioner and Vileblood are naturally opposed to each other, and Hunter of Hunters has a set chance to oppose players with any of affiliations. By using the Sinister Resonant Bell, you have a 5% chance of becoming a "Blood Addled" Hunter, which is in opposition to Hunter of Hunters. If you attempt to join a co-op session as a guest and the host is a member of an opposing faction, you will instead be summed with the task of killing the host as a nemesis. For example, if you bear the Radiance Rune and the server's matchmaking pairs you with a player bearing Corruption, you will be summoned as a nemesis, even if you intended to join co-op play! Similar to using the Sinister Resonant Bell, the rewards for killing the host are 10% of the Blood Echoes they require to level up and 1 point of Insight.

When connecting via Small Resonant Bell to a host with the Hunter Rune equipped, both Executioners and Vilebloods will enter the world as an adversary, the message "Discovered the chime of a Beckoning Bell, but the beckoner is a Vileblood/Executioner, and thus an adversary" appearing shortly before.

By using any password, the game will connect a player with the Radiance, Corruption or Hunter Rune only to a host suitable to become an adversary (or any host with a matching password as usual).
