Grey Wardens

Trait Description
Bonded in Blood Increased reputation gain with the Grey Wardens

Shadow Dragons

Trait Description
Light in the Dark Increased reputation gain with the Shadow Dragons
Never to Rise Increased damage vs. Venatori
Resourceful Class resources generate slightly faster

The Resourceful perk from Shadow Dragons slightly increases the Rage, Momentum, or Mana generation for its respective classes. This perk is the most useful out of all the faction bonuses, as it allows the player to use their abilities slightly more often.
