Factions introduces the player to the continent of Cantha where two warring factions, Luxon and Kurzick, battle for domination. Players are able to join in this conflict, assisting their chosen faction in claiming towns on the game map. Factions has a new PvE campaign, two new professions, new skills and armor for existing professions, new gameplay modes for both PvE and PvP and also addresses some of the criticisms of the original game.
Buying Factions as a stand-alone game does not allow access to the original game continent, Tyria, and PvE campaign. The professions from Prophecies are available for Factions players to create. However some skills from the original campaign are not available, but new skills for these professions are introduced. Most of the PvP content from Prophecies is available to Factions players.
A player with both Factions and Guild Wars Prophecies can link the games which allows their characters to travel between the two game's continents and the player may maintain two more concurrent characters.
Guild Wars: Factions
Updated on June 12, 2007
The second campaign, Guild Wars Factions, Guild Wars Factions is a computer game released in 2006 by ArenaNet and is the first stand-alone campaign expanding on Prophecies, the original Guild Wars game.
The lore of Cantha
The Gods in Cantha
The worship and perception of the Five True Gods within the Empire of the Dragon has taken on a uniquely Canthan cast. The greater gods of the pantheon share the Canthan heavens with an assortment of lesser demigods, as well as eternal ancestor spirits and legendary heroes granted divine status by the diverse inhabitants of the realm.
Dwayna:
Dwayna is often depicted as young, tall, and slender,
rising above the ground on huge feathered wings. Canthan artists often
depict her floating above the vibrant, living souls of their eternal
ancestors.
Balthazar:
Balthazar is frequently shown holding a greatsword,
its tip lodged in the ground, with a pair of battle hounds sitting
at attention at his feet. In Cantha, the sword is usually one of the
single-edged imperial style, and the battle hounds are usually replaced
with winged drakes.
Grenth:
Statues of Grenth depict the god with the body of
a man and the narrow, skeletal head of a beast. Canthan artists tend
to add a draconic look to the skull. The Canthan version of Grenth
stands astride a small mountain of the dead, but in Canthan art the
faces of these corpses are always averted from the god of death, as
if in shame, to distinguish these enslaved dead from the "living"
ancestor spirits.
Lyssa:
In Cantha, Lyssa is not only the goddess of beauty
and illusion, but also represents the incarnation of luck, both good
and bad. Many Canthan Assassins revere Lyssa more for her intrinsic
duality than her famous beauty, and have been known to invoke her
charms. Depictions of Lyssa in Canthan culture reflect the typical
northern style: lithe twin figures of exquisite beauty entwined in
an eternal dance.
Melandru:
Melandru is frequently depicted in Cantha as a tall,
winged dryad from the waist up. Canthan artists usually describe a
severe figure ensconced in an outcrop of Echovald quartz. Melandru's
roadside temples offer shelter, food, and water to weary travelers
even in Cantha, though such shrines are few, and separated by long
stretches of lifeless stonescape.
Luxons and Kurzicks
Among the two most populous and distinct vassal cultures in the Empire, the Kurzicks practice a particularly devout and pious form of worship tied to the great Kurzick Houses. The Luxons, on the other hand, believe not only in the five greater gods of the Tyrian pantheon, but also three demigoddesses—the three queens Alua, Elora, and Ione.
