has anyone came up with a short summary of how each religous faction views the other factions. In the Old World of Darkness games at the end of each "Clan" they gave what the clans views on each of the other "Clans" was. since i am not familiar enough with the game and definitly not religions, i thought I would ask instead of trying to duplicate someone else hard work. For example what would a Catholic think of a Puritan.
A lot of this, from my understanding, has more to do with regional biases than sectarian animosity. There is also a LOT of politics wrapped up in this. It isn't so much about Catholics looking at Protestants like unwashed heathens, but the threatened loss of influence and wealth the growth of these movement pose. And then there are the French Huguenots, which no one – not even the HRE – wants.

And by that same token what does each of the Orders of Solomon think of each of the other orders. I was thinking of a short phrase or sentence or two. one thing i noticed at the game i played witch hunter at i had no idea what each of the factions thought of the other. I know in the books is a sort of brief and very broad sentence or two such as "the other orders of solomon think this about this order. if this has already been done can you point me in the right direction. thanks in advance for any ideas or help.
The only two major Orders that have EXPLICIT animosity between them are the Ashen Cross and the Crusaders Inviolate. Not that any of them fully trust the other. But the Accords are some 24 years old at this point, so its safe to assume most of the Orders have founded decent working relationships with one another. But no, I don't believe these relationships have been spelled out this way in any of source material. I think it would be a fantastic addition to an Orders of Solomon update. For that matter, it would be interesting to know how the different Forbidden Societies feel about one another, too.
Another detail I've stumbled across recently that would be nice to see drawn out has to do with the Court of Whispers. I believe it is described as one of several "neutral grounds" where the various Orders can assemble that have popped up across Europe and the New World since the signing of the Accords. While it would be simple enough to draw up my own list, it would be great to see a partial list of similar OFFICIAL locations throughout the world.
