Many of the icon images used by this template are old or obsolete, consider using {{FactionIcon2}} unless you have a really good reason to use this template. At some point, {{FactionIcon2}} will probably be renamed to this template.

Humane syntax for specifying faction icons. This template includes the two major factions, Horde and Alliance, as well as the neutral faction shield. This template is intended to match the formatting provided by {{RaceIcon}} and {{ClassIcon}}, combining the factions into a single template. If no parameters are supplied, the default will be the neutral crest. If a faction is specified but not the size, the large crest will be shown.

Concise syntax: {{FactionIcon|<Alliance/Combat/Horde/Neutral>|<Large/Small>}}
