Retiring your character while on good terms with the party automatically makes them an Ally to every member. Look through the list of [[Allies, Contacts, and Rivals]] and choose a type of Contact that aligns with your new life. Alternatively, leaving the group with bad blood allows your character to become a bothersome Rival to the group! Retiring characters is a great way to build up a large and dedicated group of Allies, Contacts, and Rivals, populating the world with familiar faces always ready to lend a hand or throw a spanner in the works.
