To get the Stalwarts and Pilgrims, you have to choose Order in the Prologue of Story Mode. On the other hand, to get the Faithkeepers and Evolvers, you have to choose Faith. Choosing ''I don't know'' will randomize which of the pair of Factions you will get in Chapter 1.
The rest of the Factions are found in Utopia Builder mode, namely the Legionnaires, Proteans, Icebloods, Bohemians, Overseers, Venturers, and Menders.
