In this sanctuary, each being belongs to one of five factions; Bravery, Honesty, Humility, Prosperity and Sympathy. The public aren't aware of these factions, but they don't know that these factions oversee their lives and bestow the good in everyone one they become a teenager. Because Magnus and Ophelia are both not 13, the beings of Factionica, including their boss, Nirama teach them their ways so that they are bestowed by a faction when they grow up, and soon, this becomes necessary, as the beings of Factionica must have the knowledge of children to safeguard their world after vile creatures are sent from the Earth's core to destroy Factionica, ridding the world of the factions, plunging the world into negativity.
