After an initial horror at the faction specialization rules in Atlantis
2.0 I discovered that I didn't really mind the idea.  Can you picture
playing Olympia while being restricted to, say, four skill/spell cate-
gories for your whole faction?  Two categories?  One?  Or link the
categories available to the loyalty bond of the noble :

East Ilion Corporation :

Oath-2   - sailing, persuasion, stealth, weather magic
Oath-1   - sailing, persuasion, stealth
Contract - sailing, persuasion
Fear     - sailing

The Chardian Inquisition :

Oath-2   - religion, combat, persuasion, scrying
Oath-1   - religion, combat, persuasion
Contract - religion, combat
Fear     - religion

etc...
