I first became interested in D&D back in the 80’s. My brother and I were given the Basic Rules Red Box, along with the Expert set. He “got it” right away, while I was wonder…

So we have at least six minor Factions:
The Incanterium (as expected) - an ancient, previously defunct Faction based out of the Tower Sorcerous
The Ring-Givers - a classic Planescape Sect
The Free League - one of the classic "Factions", though they would argue otherwise
The Coterie of Cakes - completely new, no idea who these guys are
The Revolutionary League - one of the classic Factions, which I had assumed were rolled into the Hands of Havoc, but seemingly not (or at least, not entirely)
And the Undivided - completely new...perhaps a Faction dedicated to Gith reunification?

Presumably not the full list of minor Factions (no word on the Fixers mentioned in Golden Vault, for example), but likely the more prominent ones.

I can expand. The Ring-Givers, Free League and Incanterium are considered Minor factions that don't have the influence of the main 12.

The Coterie of Cakes, Revolutionary League, and Undivided are nearly dead factions that have nearly fallen apart, and hang out in undersigil trying to rebuild themselves.

The Cakers are some bullies that think the universe is a massive multilayered cake and that baked goods are the fundamental unit of trade. As a faction they just didn't really catch on.
The Anarchists were once popular but fell apart due to their disorganization. Still want to destroy society however.
The Deniers are a bunch of paranoid Sigil natives that think that creatures die when they pass through portals and are replaced with clones. So they refuse to go through portals.

Lol at the Cakers. Although it definitely fits with Planescape weirdness...

Sounds like one of the old gag Factions/Sects from Mimir.net or a Dragon magazine article - secretly founded by the Guild of Bakers and Confectionaries, no doubt...

So basically Star Trek Bones McCoy Transporter-phobia applied to portals... I actually like that one, though easy to see why they failed to gain traction.
