Here's my notes from adapting the Factol's Manifesto to DtD to get a better grasp on each Faction than the 1.6 blurbs. In particular, it includes my take on what kind of NPCs would typically make up each Faction, and how different interests might overlap.

For Race/Class/Alignment, I list the top 3 largest representations, with the largest on the left.

If you have any thoughts or issues (Like why the hell I would think there'd be a lot of Dark Eldarin in the Dustmen), let me know!

...I'd like to point out that the Bleak Cabal would have more resonance with Nurgle's tenets than with Malal's. In fact, a Bleaker aligned to Malal would be actively going against one of his tenets at any given time!
