An '''affinity''' is a bonus to skillgain in a given [[skill]] or [[characteristic]].
Each character is created with one random affinity. The player developes a new affinity after one month real time if he has not uncovered or received an affinity yet.
Additional affinities may be gained by killing other players in combat, provided the opponent is premium, has an affinity, and is of an enemy kingdom. It is possible to gain up to five affinities in each skill this way. This is the only way to gain more than one affinity.
