When it comes to additional main quest factions, I have noticed something interesting, in each game the Blades are either the main faction for the main quest or at the very least play a very major role.

Arena: You work in the background to save and protect the Emperor, a Blades job. And I believe that weird ghost lady, Ria or something, is a Blade.

Dagger: Plays a very major role, you work with them throughout the main quest.

Morrowind: You must join them to play the main quest, and you are there in Morrowind only because of a request by the Emperor. They play a very major role.

Oblivion: You are with them from the very beginning of the game and you protect, work with and fight alongside the Emperor throughout the game.

Skyrim: They appear frequantly throughout the main quest and may join them in order to slay Dragons.

Jyggalag's Super Happy Fun Time Extreme: May work with them to help with the war and working in the background to calm the war, may also gain optional quests to slay remaining Dragons.
