Allies are a landscape type introduced in the Allies expansion, which provide ways to use Favor tokens in games in which they are available.
Allies are not Kingdom cards, but are added to the game whenever one or more Kingdom cards have the Liaison type. In any game using Liaisons, exactly one Ally is chosen, and it determines what effect Favor tokens have in that game. Since Allies are not considered cards, they cannot be bought or gained; the way to take advantage of their abilities is to accumulate Favor tokens and then use them as instructed by the Ally.
There are 23 Allies, printed on cards in a landscape orientation with yellowish grey/parchment frames.

[edit] Official Rules
- In games using one or more Liaison cards, give each player a Favors mat and deal out a single Ally card. The Ally cards are a separate deck, not combined with Events and so on.
- Each player gets a single Favor token to start with (or five tokens in games with Importer).
- Allies are landscape cards that give Favor tokens a use; Liaisons are kingdom cards that provide a way to get Favor tokens.
- In games with a Liaison, deal out a random Ally to use that game. Only use one Ally per game, even with multiple Liaisons. You can still have as many other landscape cards (Events, Landmarks, Projects, Ways) as you otherwise would have.
- Coin tokens are used for Favors; they go on a Favors mat to distinguish them from Coffers and Villagers (from other expansions), which have their own mats. When a card gives you +1 Favor, add a token to your mat; when spending a Favor, remove the token from your mat.
- Favors may be used starting with the first turn of the game; they may not be used prior to that turn. Spending Favors is always optional. Spending Favors can only be done once per time an Ally ability triggers, unless it says, "Repeat as desired."

[edit] Starting Favor
It's possible that for some Allies, players would only use the starting Favor, and never go out of their way to use the Ally again.
