Is this going to be a Game of Thrones style game? Cause if so, I'd love to hear more! I love the idea of multiple factions tearing at each other, scheming, waring and allying, politics in way. What kind of creative freedom will players have with their factions? Races, political, outlaws?

Yes! Game of thrones style political groups indeed. 

For creative freedom I'd say much of what had occured in the past, what each group's goals are, what each major players motivations and personal goals are,intra and intergroup relationships, any advancements /innovations mad over the course, and probably more. Race wise I don't think there will be more than ethnicities of the people available.
