Throwing Down the Gauntlet 2026 Factions

CHOOSE YOUR SIDE

In addition to playing for yourself individually you will also choose one of three "factions" to represent in TDTG 2026, with your performance earning points for your chosen side throughout the year. Choose your team at registration then lead them to victory!

This is a "for fun" addition to TDTG and does not affect your individual points or standings. We DO encourage players to join in on the smack talk and belittlement of any opposing factions throughout the year as we play together

Whichever faction has the most number of division winners at Gold/Platinum Tier events will receive 750/1500 bonus points. If both factions win the same number of divisions, the tiebreaker will be the MPO winner for that event.

 

FACTIONS

Redguard- The Redguard do not seek greatness- they seize it. From their imposing citadels to the stretches of untamed wilds of Vastorum, they are forged by uncompromising standards and an unrelenting pursuit of perfection. To the Redguard, strength is the only true currency, and anything less is unworthy of respect. Compassion is a luxury. Hesitation is a flaw. Victory is the proof of worth.

Their creed is simple: the strong rise and failure is the harsh reminders of what happens when standards aren’t met. Many across Vastorum whisper that the Redguard’s path is ruthless, but the impact of their ambition can’t be denied.

Players drawn to Redguard are those who silence excuses, control their shots and their own outcomes, and push past the limits set by others.

 

Outlanders- The Outlanders are driven by instinct, adrenaline, and the thrill of the unknown. They blend scavenged tech with elemental force, crafting tools and tactics on the fly to suit their needs. Their enclaves rise in frontier wilds, skyports, and scrapyard cities where invention and chaos coexist. Among them are daredevils, scrappers, and innovators - individuals who turn broken tech into brilliance and pressure into possibility.

Outlanders relish the challenge of the improbable and believe victory belongs to those bold enough to seize it on their own terms. Adaptability is their weapon. Instinct is their compass. Courage is their law.

Players drawn to the Outlanders never back down, invent solutions on the fly, and fight to win through bold instinct and fearless improvisation.

 

The Covenant- Where others chase force or instinct, the Covenant seeks victory through strategy, technique, and deliberate execution. They study the world’s deeper patterns- its natural laws, hidden harmonies, and inner workings. From their elevated temples and arcane sanctums they see with a clarity invisible to others, then weaponize their knowledge with surgical precision.

The Covenant draws those who seek mastery through insight- duelists who read opponents like open books, scouts who navigate with with practiced understanding, and adepts who shape the flow of conflict with calculated intent.

Players drawn to The Covenant are tacticians, analysts, and disciplined competitors whose desire to win leads to skillful intentionality, not impulse.

 

Your choices. Your play. Your destiny.
