How many factions are there?

Well, this is also an overcorrection, but in the opposite direction. There are too few. And in general, the most popular fantasy races were chosen for the game. For example, dark elves are not only in Heroes... Wait. What other night elves, blood elves? Two types of elves, and that's it. Even Tolkien had two types of elves, but the second ones weren't called dark elves, but something else.
