I suggest introducing ranks...
The rank is calculated by the number of completed quests * quest difficulty.
(Quest difficulty can be 1, 2, or 3, and is chosen by the GM). The higher the rank, the closer I am to the Emperor (in the Empire), and each rank supports the rank below it.... for example, Magnus oversees his assistants... his right and left hands, and only he can give them quests.... they, in turn, oversee the paladins below them.... and so on.

Hierarchy
0 reputation points - 0 (undecided)
1 reputation point - level 1
5 points - level 2
10 - level 3
15 - level 4
