KoS
"KoS" stands for "Kill on Sight". Vanguards complicated Faction System places various Races against eachother for Historical & Social reasons. If you are on the KoS list for a particular location, you will be attacked on sight, unless you increase your Faction for that Location / Race by doing various tasks (Adventuring Missions & Diplomacy mostly). When creating a character it's recommended that you consider your Race's Faction Standing carefully, as it can take a large time investment to improve your Faction Standings.
