Renown

Renown will be earned by your character as you progress through the Mount&Blade games. Your character's renown is basically how well known they are throughout Calradia or Eastern Europe. The other lords and rulers also have renown, which over time, assuming you are relatively successful, you will surpass.

You can gain renown in a number of ways:

• Winning battles - The more the odds are stacked against you, the more renown you will earn.
• Winning Tournaments
• Completing Quests/missions
• Holding successful Feasts (Warband only)
• As a female player, countering remarks from lords

Renown is important as it affects a number of things, such as whether you can join a faction. The base requirement to join a faction is 150, or 200 if your character is female. To be able to help a claimant gain control of one of the factions, you need 200 renown. Renown heavily affects your party size.

You can also lose renown:

• By not doing any or enough of the above over a certain amount of time.
