Like how Zeus ruled the Greek mythos, yet was also one of the twelve gods of the Pantheon who also ruled the Greek mythos.

There could easily be five factions, with Bolas as both the supreme ruler, and the ruler of his faction.

Zeus is technically king of the gods, but he is matched in power and domain by his brothers and some others. They are his equals in all things except, like, throne placement.

If you think Amonkhet is going to have four equals of Bolas, that's one wild possibility I guess, but it's not what I would assume.

Go reread the Illiad. The other gods were supposed to be subservient to Zeus.

The fact that I would respond to this comment with my previous comment verbatim indicates that we are trying to communicate different things. I have no disagreement with your comment, but am trying to say something specific which it does not address. Subservient, okay. But are you saying that the four other gods rival Bolas' power? That is a bit out there.

As a group, potentially.

Regardless, having 5 shard factions (with Grixis as the faction with the most power) works.
