Factions are now, of course, ingame (at least textually at the moment and via hubs on the world map), but I thought it might be interesting to share a first draft of a thematic map from the dev forums that I put together last year, illustrating my initial thoughts on how these might all fit together thematically (rather than geographically).
No, it didn’t make a huge amount of sense to the team either…! But it’s still quite close to my heart.
Some faction concepts didn’t make it to live; most did. And, of course, the ones up in the top right have, mostly, yet to be seen ingame.
I like very much that scheme thought!! I hope its structure lay under the actual faction diversity… it would give an strong sense of reality (organised biodiversity) to the game!
It’s a pity there aren’t, at the moment, factions related to the Fay group… like Half-Elves; Sidh Folks or fairies… it would be nice also dwarves factions had different anatomies, being shorter or taller, with diff hair colors and so; as Elves are..
God job anyway. Illyriad is awesome 🙂

Sorry, In the comment above I put Half Elves inside the Fay group… I referred to Boggarts and that… but I wanted to say that also Half Elves would be nice to find, as other mixed races.
