I've held Honor as a guilty pleasure, pity you couldn't get into Blade Itself, the first three books mostly build the world, and his others more explore it. I find myself leading to Panoceania (partly because my randomly generated character comes from there, and I like the idea of a future order militant) Aradiana (I'm scottish and french myself and hang on a second- we get freaking werewolves too!?) and Nomads (love the thematics) and ALEPH (Benevolent (?) AI protects humanity- sometimes from itself!) But honestly- every faction in the game is cool.<br/><br/>It's one of those settings I call exceptional, in the proper sense of the word, for example, I generally don't like steampunk but Warmachine and Arcanum are great. I generally don't like anime but this setting has me! (It helps it doesn't lean _too_ heavily on the anime feel!)
