Factions area unlocking

Overview
The Prophecies campaign is very open compared to the Factions campaign. You can just explore and run to almost any place on the map. The only missions that open up unreachable areas are Sanctum Cay and Thunderhead Keep. The Factions campaign is different in that you are forced to follow the storyline by preventing you to access areas until you unlock them by doing quests or missions. The following is a list of the quests and missions you must complete to progress through the story and the world map.

At this point the storyline splits and allows you to follow one side or the other. It is advisable to follow one side then the other. As you do quests for either side you can earn faction for that side. When you spend your faction on one side, you will lose the same amount from the other. So it's better to earn faction from one side, spend it all, then earn faction from the other side.
