Like with every expansion,World of Warcraft: The War Within, brings several reputation factions connected to its setting for players who wish to aid new allies and gain suitable rewards. Around the lands of Khaz Algar, four main factions exist for you to gain renown with; the Hallowfall Arathi, the Assembly of the Deeps, the Severed Threads, and the Council of Dornogal.
Each of these four factions are tied to a different Algarian zone. Each faction offers myriad useful and prestigious rewards for those who would aid them in their struggles and endeavors.
General Ways Of Gaining Reputation
There are some tried and true ways to increase your reputation with the factions of Khaz Algar that work for each one.
These methods includequesting in their respective zonesand completing their campaigns,completing world quests, completing weekly quests, defeating rare mobs, and finding treasures.
In the case of The War Within’s weekly reputation-gaining quests, you can find them being handed out by a coupleNPCs gathered around the inn in the earthen’s capital of Dornogal.The NPCs that hand out these quests are theArathi human Faerin Lothar, theearthen High Speaker Brinthe, and theearthen Biergoth.
The earthen profession trainers of Dornogal will also provide renown gains for completing their weekly quests.
The War Within introduced Special Assignments, special world quests that are unlocked after the completion of three regular world quests in a zone where a Special Assignment is active. Once unlocked, a Special Assignment will require you to complete a higher-difficulty world quest in an elite area, which will reward you with more renown and high-quality loot upon doing so.
With The War Within introducing Warband mechanics, your reputation gains will be shared across all of your characters, thus granting you access to purchase leveling gear from the factions' quartermasters for your alts.

In addition to the basic Severed Threads reputation and rewards,this faction has three sub-factionsassociated with it. These are associated with and named after each of the three leaders;The Weaver (for Widow Arak’nai), The General (for General Anub’azal), and The Vizier (for Executor Nizrek).
Each of these sub-factions has its own rewards, which are usually tied to easing your experiences and mobility with the Kaheti capital, the City of Threads, as well as uniquely themed mounts.These three quartermasters, (Bobbin for The Weaver, Anub’okki for The General, and Tulumun for The Vizier), can be foundwithin the Weaver’s Lair, along with The Severed Threads’main quartermaster, Lady Vinazian.
When you reach the reputation rank of Conspirator with either The Weaver, The General, or The Vizier, you can purchase the Widow’s Undercrawler, Heritage Undercrawler, and Royal Court Undercrawler mounts, respectively.
Additionally, reaching the Mastermind reputation rank with any of these three sub-factions will allow you to purchase the Notorious Thread’s Hearthstone toy, and depending on which of the three you have achieved this rank with, you can buy the Spymaster’s Severed Thread, Crypt Lord’s Severed Thread, and Executor’s Severed Thread, which will alter the animations of your Notorious Thread’s Hearthstone when used.
If you have not completed the Azj-Kahet campaign, Lady Vinazian will not appear as The Severed Threads' quartermaster. Instead, Y’tekhi will appear, as they have not embarked on missions for The Weaver yet.
A special way to increase your reputation with The Severed Threads and its sub-factions is tocomplete a weekly Pact questwith your chosen sub-faction. To complete these quests, you simply need tocomplete world quests, Special Assignments, defeat rares, find treasures, and complete quests within Azj-Kahet.
Upon accepting a Pact quest,you must choose who you will aid that week, either The Weaver, The General, or The Vizier, and whoever you choose to assist will provide you with their own boon that will make traversing Azj-Kahet and combating its threats slightly easier.
Yamas the Provider, a nerubian found behind Lady Vinazian in the Weaver’s Lair,has information on each Pact and the rewardsand boons they provide.
