A '''faction''' is a group of units that are not necessarily of the same [[races|race]]. These are sets of units available to a particular leader and often reflect alliances between various races or divisions within a race. For example, [[Northerners]] cover [[orcs]], [[trolls]], and other races who often ally with the orcs in war. On the other hand, [[Loyalists]] only cover [[humans]] who are part of the army of the kingdom of Wesnoth or those who use a similar military system like the city-state of Elensefar. Other humans are parts of non-default factions such as [[outlaws]].

Factions in multiplayer are determined by an '''era'''. Eras are groups of factions that cover a particular theme - for instance, the [[Default Era]] covers the common races that appear frequently during the history of Wesnoth, such as [[Undead]]. In eras, the units a particular faction can recruit are internally consistent with the version of the era. On the other hand, "factions" as they appear in single player campaigns can change according to the plot of the campaign. In the campaign Northern Rebirth, the player can only recruit peasants and woodsmen in the first scenario but gets more diverse recruit lists later on. The factions in single player usually do not match up completely with the factions in multiplayer.

The Battle for Wesnoth has a diverse amount of multiplayer factions. There are six factions that are currently in the Default Era, which comes with the game. Other factions are made by users and available as add-ons, usually packaged in eras with other factions. What follows is a list of the major factions, as sorted by era.

These eras and factions can be found on the campaign server via the Add-Ons button, and are generally fairly complete and up-to-date.
