About Faction, from BoardGameGeek:

“The old order has collapsed and the great players on the world stage vie to control the Factions, and through them, the balance of power…” You take control of Characters from the four Factions, using their abilities, or striking Characters, to manipulate the balance of power. Your goal is to have the most points in the winning Faction (deducting any points in the losing Faction) of Characters, both in your hand and before you, when the game ends. -description from the publisher
