Description | The academy that leads Delesyia's mechanization. Marni dreamed of a world where machines would replace all human labor. Such radical ideas were not easily accepted in Dewhaven and Gorthak. Marni founded a society of his own and pushed it to pursue every line of research he wanted. |
The Society of Progress is a Core faction founded in Delesyia by the genius engineer Marni. Marni's vision of a society where machines replace most human labor met with resistance in neighboring regions, so the Society was established as an academy dedicated to mechanization and every line of research he considered necessary. It is the ideological engine behind Delesyia's technological rise.
Its members pursue mechanical designs, weaponry, and civil engineering under Marni's direction. The Society sits alongside the Delesyia National Institute, which studies and extends Marni's innovations more conservatively, and the Ironwheel of Dewhaven, which builds many of the actual machines that leave the laboratories.
Marni - founder and ideological leader.
Cogknights - military arm that deploys Society machinery in combat.
Delesyia National Institute - sister academic body.
Ironflame Orcs - ironworks partners under Valgash.
Like every faction in Crimson Desert, this group sits inside the game's five-tier reputation system: War, Hostile, Neutral, Friendly, and Alliance. 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.
Crimson Desert tracks approximately 110 factions in total across the continent of Pywel, split across four classification types: Core, Hostile, Religious, and Other. Contribution XP from completing faction quests feeds into standing with the issuing faction and, in several regions, into a shared regional reputation such as Demenissian Contribution or Pailunese Contribution. Progress is tracked on the reputation panel in the player menu, and reaching Alliance with a faction typically unlocks a named reward set that can include armor, weapons, mounts, or cosmetics such as the Pirate King Hat earned through Vellua Fishermen's Guild content.
