The stand-alone guild wars: factions is the second campaign in arenanet's massive multiplayer online role-playing game. The factions campaign, which can be played either as part of the regular guild wars or as its own separate game, takes place on the continent of cantha, where new and existing guild wars players join an epic quest to defeat an ancient evil and save a war-torn empire. New scored challenge missions and strategic competitive missions allow players to test their role-playing prowess and earn the right for their alliance to take control of cities, towns and outposts.
