The goal of upholding a diegetic agreement to a person, group, or cause.
Examples
If the PC becomes the member of Thief’s Guild in the Oblivion game of The Elder Scrolls series, being loyal to the guild requires complying with rules that bans stealing from another member, killing while carrying out a task, and stealing from the poor.
In Crusader Kings, dukes and counts need to put their armies under the control of their king when war occurs to prove their loyalty, and failing to do so provides a reason for civil war.

Loyalty is a Continuous Goal (Björk, Holopainen, 2005) to maintain membership of a Faction. Maintaining membership g C 68 haracter-Driven Game Desi n may require Social Maintenance and performing quests, which are Predefined Goals. Loyalty include Preventing Goals (Björk, Holopainen, 2005) not to infringe the Social Norms of the Faction. Failure to comply the Social Norms leads to penalty such as declaring a character as an Outcast.
