How many factions are there?

Major – we play the game, but didn’t we create it? The developers decide how we play, there’s nothing we can do about it. Regarding the creatures – according to that logic, there’s almost no difference between a knight and a minotaur, or between a black and an emerald dragon. Indeed, they both fly far, deal high damage, and their HP isn’t significantly different, so what’s the difference? It turns out that all creatures are the same, just in different forms. And neither the Nighon nor the Swamp will help here.
