There is no particular proof that a quest exists. If it did, you are then assuming it has something to do with faction standings. These seem tenuous leaps at best.

The point I'm trying to make is that unless you can get a better standing with the Hashashin faction, then you can't be their best friend and won't get into the fortress. The only way of testing this is to duff up their enemies and see if it changes your faction standing. Basically why I am looking for Lannigolds units.

I'm working on some diplo actions against Kajadum (Hashashin), Laresh (Lannigolds), Lacona (Triumvarite), and Glory City (Raja Metu). This is the first report I've gotten back that shows something other than nothing. But I'm not sure this means anything in terms of the Fortress of Shadow mystery/quest (if it is a thing).

At this time the individual player cannot alter their status with any faction. I believe you are also correct in that the racial composition of one's alliance will determine that standing. I would like to think that the DEVS have the potential to implement individual actions changing individual status with a faction. The possibilities can extend from trading (tax rate) benefits/penalties to hostile action against harvesters, encampments, and/or cities. The release of the Omen and underworld appear to be a sign of limited movement in this direction.

Someone needs to explain HOW player actions can influence their standing with individual factions. I can see that the alliance rankings are purely a function of basic racial alliance composition. Now if someone can prove that player actions influence player standing against a particular alliance then maybe one can become a close ally. I keep my eyes open for Lannigolds to duff up.

This is the closest thing I see to being a hint. We know at this time that faction standing cannot change.  I've been working on diplo efforts against the only hub of the Hashashin (sorry 10k), Lannigold's Laresh, Triumvarite's Lacona, and Raju Metu's Glory City hubs. All have been T2 (human) and messengers. Nothing has come back as being unusual. Only my spies reproduce the message in the original post when being sent to the Fortress of Shadows. Has any elves tried diplo'ing these hubs? The Hashashin doesn't seem to hate or favor much, but the elf race does have a small positive standing. I don't reside in any of the regions near these hubs, are encampments and other movements regular for these factions? I've not recorded any specific detail regarding time, calendar, or lunar phase in my efforts.
