Why doesn't this page list characters per faction yet?
The game's own faction table only holds faction names, with no field linking to specific characters; the playable-character table likewise has no matching faction field. Since this site's rule is never to guess without a source, faction membership is left blank rather than assigned from word-of-mouth lore — check each character's own page to see which region/storyline they're tied to.
What are these 21 Factions, and does every one have a playable character?
This is the game's own internal faction/power classification, used for lore and NPC/character tagging. Not every faction on this list has a playable character representing it — many only appear through NPCs or story context.
Quick Faction FAQ
Where does the 21-Faction data come from?
From the faction classification table in the game's public data files (the game's own data-mine, version 4.4.0).
Why is there no icon or description per faction?
The icon field is empty for all 21 factions in the source data, and the table has no description field either — the page shows exactly the name (in 5 languages) the source file provides, without drawing an icon or writing a description on the developer's behalf.
Do Factions affect gameplay, like teams or buffs?
No. The game's own faction table only holds names — no field links a faction to any character, team, stat or buff. Factions here are purely lore/setting data with no combat mechanic attached.
