List of “Secret Societies”

Arcanis has many non-national factions, so I thought I’d make a list of all the known Canon groups which are vying for power on Onara:

“Major” Societies:

1) Azure Way – Dedicated to the foundation of a 2nd Imperium of Man
2) Emerald Society – Dedicated to finding lost knowledge
3) Feathermen – Dedicated to . . . facilitating chaos?
4) Jial of the Pheonix – Khitani equivalent of Emerald Society
5) Laerestri – Elorii wanderers and informants for Elonbe’ (more of a national faction)
6) Mourners in Silence – Opposes the spread of religion
7) Orthodoxy – Dedicated to reuniting the worship of the Pantheon
8) Sanctorum of the Arcane – Dedicated to protecting Arcane casters from Ymandragore
9) Twilight Bough – Opposes the spread of the Pantheon of Man, spread Elemental worship, support Elorii agendas (mostly Seremas?)
10) White Veil – Dedicated to arcane knowledge and the spread thereof

“Minor” Societies:
1) Brotherhood of Man – Opposes Val rule
2) Brotherhood of the Bronze Catacombs – Beltine is wrong and the soul is lost in death, promotes undead.
3) Eternal Illumination – Keep the val’Assante’ in power
4) Grey Crones – “proactively” remove evil-doers from the world, even before they actually do evil
5) Guardians of the Catacombs – Keep undead IN their crypts rather than prey on people
6) Lurkers Beneath the Waves – Source of the Yarricite Heresy (Yarris is older than the Pantheon)
7) Order of the Hidden Flame – Reinstate Nierite worship in Coryan (defunct?)
8) Seekers of Forbidden Lore – Study proscribed knowledge, such as Tenician ruins
9) Seekers of the Hidden Masters – Find and reinstate the Devil-Kings from Time of Terror
10) Sirens of Forbidden Delights – Prostitute/spies
11) Sisterhood of the Golden Bough – Basically eco-terrorsists, oppose all ‘man made’ items
12) Sons of Reighteous Fury – Put val’Tensen in power vs. val’Assante’ (defunct?)
13) Troupe of the Final Note – Assassin Bards

Other Groups:
1) Black Druids of Jannyal – Male Saluwean Druids
2) Brotherhood of Light and Dark – Dedicated to, through personal betterment, purge themselves of Dark-kin traits.
