What's an advanced wyvern? I'm not really sure about the Nest faction there.
I don't know what an Advanced Wyvern is (sounds pretty gnarly though!). We'd find out in play!
I do know about the Nest Faction! Faction in this sort of game is any party with volition who can erect its will upon the Setting in such a way that moves units and provokes action. Its not just gangs and beaurocracy and infrastructure. Its also monsters and places (so long as those monsters and places have reach and use that reach to provoke action).
Tier in this case is "the magnitude/potency/scale of that reach/provocative action." Same thing for the Companions. So when they roll Tier, its an expression of their magnitude/potency/scale.
Look at it like a classic Hexcrawl where the Dungeon or the Hex has a level. Same thing here.

Another way to look at is anything that could be a Front in Apocalypse World or Dungeon World would be a Faction in this game.

Wyverns. Big scary dragon-creatures with wings, tail-stinger, massive claws. Lairs at the top of mountains/volcanoes et al.
Hunts big tasty creatures...like donkeys/mules (sad porters)...or cows/steer/bulls (sad ranchers).
Yeah, I'm with you there, just confused by those tricksy wyverns.
Ahh, ok, now I see. Thanks! I need another coffee I think...

Lol wait a minute. Did you infer from the above entry that she's gone into the Porter/Ranching business and all of her wyvern-ey kids are trained at carrying stuff?
Rather than their hunting of beasts of burden/cattle being the problem?
LOL, you do need more coffee.
Yes, yes I did. And yes I do. Don't ask me how I arrived there though. Maybe because I was thinking of the Porters themselves carrying stuff and then trying to figure out how wyverns put them out of business. Anyway, putting on some coffee...
