Cults, Fraternal Orders, and Secret Societies: overview

The Atlantean world of the Second Age is full of hidden brotherhoods, some religious, some political and some magical. Most of them amount to very little, but a handful wield real power in the lands where they work, and it is these that the book describes.

They range from criminal networks and death cults to learned and knightly orders: the Brotherhood of Cymbri, the Serpent Cult, the Cult of Sefar, the Order of Baal, the Lotus Cult, the Abara Witch Cult, the Assassins, the Grey Council, the Leopard Men, the Order of the Grand Circle, the Order of the Lion, and the mystic orders of Jambu, among them the Black Mystics and the Dao.
