Faction is an overloaded term in the Guild Wars universe. Initially Faction referred to a reward system in PvP. A player in PvP would be rewarded faction points for completion of certain objectives. These faction points, commonly known as just faction could be used to purchase unlocks. With the addition of the Guild Wars Factions game or Factions campaign (collequolly known as Factions, usually capitalized), two enemy nations or factions (the Kurzicks and the Luxons) were introduced. Each of these factions had their own faction points rewarded for completion of certain faction(nation) specific objectives. A surplus of one factions points over anothers would indicate an alignment with one particular faction. To disambiguate (somewhat) the original faction points from the new faction points, the old faction points are known as Balthazars faction (after the Tyrian God of War).


 * Faction is a reward system in the game. One gains Faction by completing challenges that please the side that offers the reward. Presently, there are three types of Factions in the game:
 * Faction with Balthazar, the God of War.
 * Faction with the Kurzick nation of Cantha.
 * Faction with the Luxon nation of Cantha.
 * A Faction is one of two sides in a constant war taking place in Guild Wars Factions.
 * Factions is the short name of Guild Wars Factions and the Factions Campaign, the second installment of Guild Wars.
