Factions are a feature exclusive to the Crimson Isle. There are currently two factions: Mages and Barbarians, whom are enemies with each other. By allying themselves with one of the factions, the player can access the faction's Community Center to do tasks for them, interact with the Faction's shops, and gain reputation with them. Players can swap factions at any time.
One can see a player's faction by looking at their icon besides their name in the Tab menu.
How to join a Faction[]
In order to join a faction, the player must partially complete the main questline by talking to 
Elle.

Reputation[]
Reputation is a mechanic in which the player can get friendlier with their current Faction, allowing them to unlock new items, trades from NPCs, and much more.
The player will have 0 reputation with both factions at the start. Advancing through their Faction's questline will earn them reputation. Other ways to earn reputation include completing Daily missions at the Community Center, and short quests given by Faction NPCs.
If one kills
