The Temple:
A faction that has risen to power over the last century and gained control over the majority of the continent that is the setting for the SWSH Arc, they have gained a reputation for being for the most part very hostile toward anyone whom can be believed to be a Demon, along with having a very simple mentality in that they either follow the laws of the Spirits or their Ruler without question.

The Rebellion:
Fairly straight-forward, these are a group of citizens and soldiers whom had dedicated themselves to fighting The Temple's current dominance over the lands by any means necessary, assassinations and riots are merely the beginning for the fight to free themselves from what they believe is the oppression of The Temple.

The Alae:
A mysterious and only vaguely known-about group of individuals who are rumored by citizens to live in an underground utopia that is a far more advanced than anyone on the surface could ever dream of, they are nicknamed "Angels" and if one happens to cross your path you are allegedly given good luck for the next Moon.

The Spirits:
While not necessarily a faction they still play a large role in the SWSH Universe. The Spirits are a group of Divine Beings which are said to rule over the Mortal Realm and govern them, being the reasons for their good fortune along with their lives, it is also rumored that they are at-times a very sadistic bunch and some enjoy tormenting the Mortals below in times of strife.

The Reapers:
Once more, not completely a faction but they too play a large role. The Reapers are a group of individuals selected by a Superior in order to join their ranks and take the souls of the soon to be dead to the Stream, where they will be judged and given either a new life or punishment depending on their crimes and good deeds.
