Different Factions
In Shadowlands you will encounter many different factions, some will be allies, others will be adversaries. By targeting a mob in Shadowlands and pressing "T" you will bring up any information about the target, including faction.
There are two major alligances within factions - Redeemed and Unredeemed. Each of these major factions has underlying factions to them as well, as we will explain below. There is also a third faction called Guardian of Shadows, which is the faction of Ergo, neutrality. Omni-Tek players are by nature aligned towards the Unredeemed while Clan players are aligned towards the Redeemed. Neutral players will have to balance the factions out, but can at the same time reap rewards for doing so.
Guardian of Shadows
As already mentioned, this is the faction of Ergo, the sentient "spirit" of the huge net of computers and operation centres that control the all-encompassing net of energy tracts and Notum conductors that tie together the whole of The Shadowlands. As Ergo was created by human-like creatures, he actually views the players he meets as members of the race that he was created to serve and protect. He looks at his role in the world as being an assistant or servant of humans.
On the Redeemed side the factions are
The Devoted
Most NPCs on the Redeemed side that players meet are aligned with this faction. Basically, these are tree-hugging hippies.
The Benign Conservators
NPCs in Gardens and other special places maintained by the Redeemed themselves are high in this faction.
The Redeemed
Only the Redeemed themselves and their closest assistants are on this faction.
The corresponding factions on the Unredeemed side are
The Followers
Followers of the Temple. Most NPCs on the Unredeemed side that players meet are aligned with this faction.
The Assertive Operators
