Based on your bug report, I did some more queries and found 2 npcs which still gave faction adjustments towards EbonMask, despite there being no npcs actually having the primary faction of EbonMask. I have changed these to HalloftheEbonMask. I also looked into any quests which might adjust EbonMask.

There is confusion on the allakhazam page about whether or not both factions did exist.

That being said, I don't think HalloftheEbonMask was ever actually real. I can't find any research pointing to an actual source.

However, I do see in-era research for EbonMask:

What I think should probably happen is to rename HalloftheEbonMask to Ebon Mask and EbonMask to HalloftheEbonMask. All the npc factions and quest factions will be aligned to EbonMask with little effort.

If anyone has an in era screenshot or log mentioning 'HalloftheEbonMask', post it up.
Very interesting reading there. I had no idea the rabbit hole went so deep. xD

Nonetheless though I really appreciate you looking into that for me. As someone who is pretty obsessed with the faction system in this game I thank you. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
