Roles
Roles on Ancar are mainly lore-based or canonical characters that have been added onto the server for roleplay and immersion purposes. Every role has a different set of criteria based on your alignment with respective factions or cultural blocs; after these criteria are satisfied, a staff member will give you the role and provide the necessary benefits and perks to the player.
Which Effects do Roles give?
Some give you Lore Weapons, others other Kinds of Gear and Items, but just some give "Enchantments" to the Players, like in the Cases of the Nazgûl Rings, you get Strength, Regeneration, and Night Vision.
