Do we know if any of the secret societies not in CoH will be opened up.

My secondary PC is an Entaris elorii, as such he does not qualify for Laerestri. I was hoping Twilight Bough would open up eventually

cheers

No clue. That said, the TB does have some evil ends so maybe not.

And the Mourners don't? I doubt that 'are they evil' is the criteria PCI uses ;P

They are also far more established in the world and Mods, and not all Mourners are militant.

TB was a secret society in the 3.5 campaign and the military aspect was not highlighted at all.

My main concern is there is not really a fit for an Elorii unless you come from the vastwoods. Arcane can squeeze into the sanctorium, but thats about it (maybe Silver Chalice at a pinch)

Cheers

I can see why an Elorii wouldn't follow the Azure Way, but why not the Emerald Society?

Twilight Bough and White Veil are missed. I'd rather see WV make a reappearance than TB. Though WV overlaps a lot with the Sanctorum it's reason for existing plays well with others.

It can be tough as a mod writer to find hooks for most of the SS. I think some SS definitely get more attention than others. ES, Feathermen, Silver Chalice and Orthodoxy seem to be the winners in the current campaign. Others less so. Adding to the list of PC legal societies probably accentuates that.

In addition to the Laerestri I think there is plenty of scope to see elorii in the Emerald Society, the Feathermen (maybe its really an elorii conspiracy!), the Mourners, the Sanctorum, and the Silver Chalice. I admit none of those SS is directly focused on the elorii.

Although the group's existence is still a secret in-game, we members of the Confraternity of Solidarity across Empires (CSE) are making our existence known to players so they can decide if they want their characters to join. This is the player-formed secret society that I created during Living Arcanis. Look for more information this week and at ArcaniCon 2015.

About your list. From my understanding a player can only have one "major" secret society (and by major I mean the ones listed in the Codex of Heroes), but can join other secondaries ones.

Tony's been clear that a player may only have access to one SS board here on the forums. Not sure if that's what you're referring to or not. A character arguably wouldn't be part of multiple SS even in lesser capacities. Likelihood of conflict of interest are high. I could see being part of the overt Emerald Society without any ties to the SS, but I think that's the closest I come to avoiding overlap.

Home campaigns are free to explore divided loyalties more directly and the consequences thereof.

With a sweep of his hat,

Paul
