Two hundred years ago, the Betrayer, Shiro Tagachi, transformed the lush continent of Cantha into a devastated landscape of stone forests and crystalline seas. Now, in an empire torn asunder by war, who you fight is as important as who you serve. While the Kurzicks and Luxons battle for ever-decreasing resources, an ancient and treacherous force returns to a world he nearly destroyed. The heroes of Cantha may have finally met their match. Which side will you choose?

Guild Wars Factions™, the second stand-alone release from developer ArenaNet®, features a new world, new mechanics, and new professions. Players who also own Guild Wars® (the original Prophecies campaign) can journey between the two game worlds, and there is never a monthly fee to play.
