There seems to be an issue with this faction. As a troll shaman of Innoruuk, I hunted Crushbone orcs (+Emerald Warriors/+Faydarks Champions/+Storm Guard) until I was ally with the Emerald Warriors, but Faydarks Champions remained "scowling" to me. I then turned in muffins to Pandos (+Clerics of Tunare/+Faydarks Champions/+King Tearis Thex/+Soldiers of Tunare) until I was ally with the Clerics of Tunare and Soldiers of Tunare, but the Faydarks Champions remained scowling.
Even if these faction hits to Faydarks Champions were in the smallest increments possible, this faction would have been raised to ally by now. I believe that NPCs on this faction group are not calculating their faction ranks properly, possibly only using default racial modifiers. I notice that in the PEQ database - which may not necessarily apply here - Pandos is in the same faction group as these NPCs (npc_faction_id 222) and he seems to be suffering from the same issue where his con never increases past "scowling" despite having capped all factions from his quest.
I should also mention that faction gains from the Muffin for Pandos quest is set far too high, capping after about a couple backpacks full of muffins. A simple browsing of the Allakhazam discussion suggests that this should require thousands upon thousands of muffins, which is accurate to what I recall from doing this quest as an Iksar monk back during Kunark.
--edit--
I suppose it'd help if I added some example NPCs from this faction. The ranger guildmasters in Kelethin are the most obvious since Faydarks Champions is the Kelethin ranger guild. These include Maesyn Trueshot, Samatansyn Flamecaller, and Dill Fireshine.
