sucks that the dung eater is the invader faction though, but then I'm apparently a weird person who prefers the edge.
There are a bunch of factions, some joinable and some as far as I can tell, not. They're not the same as Covenants though, a sthey're more very in-depth sidequests with certain NPCs and their aligned vassals and allies, that have their own rewards, but there's no need to grind for some arbitrary token or medal to buy rewards or anything.

For example, the Volcano Manor faction (which you can learn of early on in Liurnia, but don't learn the purpose of until you get there) involves a lot of NPC invades, and killing your targets gets you free wepaons, armor, and talismans as rewards. It's sort of similar to a Dark Souls-ified Dark Brotherhood, but not as evil(?) depending on how well your ideology aligns with theirs.
