11Overview2233Longleaf Tribe is a Other faction based in Pailune. A tribe of the Wayward Woods northwest of Pailune. They have the unusual custom of building dwellings in the trees. They are not completely cut off from other tribes, but they are especially hostile to outsiders and prefer to live quietly hidden above. The great lanterns hung in each village to drive back the darkness are said to be sacred.4455Faction Crest66778899Faction Details10101111PropertyValueType OtherRegionPailuneDescriptionA tribe of the Wayward Woods northwest of Pailune.

Their settlements, Longleaf and Longroots, are built high in the canopy, with homes perched atop trees dozens of meters off the ground and connected by bridges. The arrangement keeps the tribe largely hidden from neighbours and makes direct travel through their villages difficult without a guide.15151616They are not fully cut off from other tribes, but they are especially hostile to outsiders and prefer to remain quietly overhead. Their local knowledge of the nearby Mistwood Hunters and the wider Wayward Woods is what makes them relevant to poaching-related faction content.17171818Faction Quests19192020QuestNotesBring Back Light to LongleafPuzzle-centered quest to restore light to the elevated village.The Sport HunterBoss quest against Moren, the Mistwood Huntmaster.

Most factions begin at Neutral when first encountered, and reputation shifts as the player completes faction quests, contracts, and related world content. Reaching Alliance unlocks three compounding benefits: allied troops that assist in combat inside the faction's territory, exclusive vendors carrying items not sold anywhere else, and restricted resource nodes such as mining deposits, ingredient patches, and hidden dungeons.28282929Related Pages30303131For a complete list of all factions in Crimson Desert, see the Factions overview page.32323333Gate Role in the Pailune Progression Chain343435-Like Skoghorn Tribe, Longleaf Tribe serves as a structural gate in the Pailune tribal progression rather than a standalone arc. After 15 of 27 Pailune militia contribution quests are cleared, either Longleaf or Skoghorn becomes available on the board. Finishing either tribe automatically unlocks the other, so both chains end up completed on a normal playthrough even if you only actively targeted one.35+Like Skoghorn Tribe, Longleaf Tribe is a structural gate in the Pailune tribal progression rather than a standalone arc.
