The Raafi in Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy do not have to face the Empire alone, they can get the help of allies who also face the threat of the Empire. It is recommended that you seek out and befriend these clans as doing so can provide you with many long-term gains which will come in useful during the game. Take a look at our How to Befriend Clans guide to find out how you make alliances that can help you with your quest to destroy the Staff of Yendor.
There are clans scattered across the world which you can approach and form an alliance with to aid you in your quest. To begin an alliance with a clan you first have to befriend them and in order to do this you will need to bring a gift to their leader and then pass a fortune test. It is important that the gift you offer is a suitable one, it will include things such as special tomes and maps to the location of potential mines. If you talk to the Task Master in Haven he will sometimes tell you where what you need to find can be found. If not you can seek out a traveling Raafi scholar that is in the clan village, and they may be able to give you the information you need. You will be able to find a traveling Raafi scholor in most of the clan villages you visit.
The best way to get started in befriending a clan is to make your way to one of the villages, preferably one that is nearby and not disgruntled. The easiest and safest way to reach villages is to get a ride with a traveling merchant, when you reach your destination just find the clan leader and talk to them.
