| − | Gaea is a world where factions and affiliations are a reality. However, listing each and every possible faction isn't entirely feasible and not fully in the spirit of things as we're not a game that enforces membership in factions. Being in a faction or part of an established group is still a very good thing and there are some groups and power structures that you should be aware of. |

| − | Alexandria has a thriving criminal underworld that may appeal to certain character types. Membership into these groups is not granted upon immediate approval but due to the sensitive nature of these orders, recruitment and raising in rank is handled almost strictly ICly and via roleplay. In recent years, the arrival of a faction known as The [[Ebon Syndicate]] caused a crime war that sent chaos rippling through the established under world factions of the city. At present the two most prominent groups are The Ebon Syndicate and a faction simply known as '[[The Guild]]'. |

Previously led by a mysterious individual known as '[[The Smiling Man]]', each individual chapter of the Guild of the Sly was unique in and of itself but still loyal to the head guild located in [[Tashraan]] in [[Veyshan]]. This changed in [[Alexandria]] with the toppling of previous guild heads and the establishing of a new order known as The Guild. Due to its darker nature, membership in The Guild is not open to player characters. |

Most of these guilds deal in fairly mundane everyday things that are simply part of how the world works but a few are particularly powerful and influential economically. The [[City Council]] pulls some of its members from members of these guilds and trade and commerce is a very important part of the city. |

Precious little public information is known about this group save that there is said to be a grove deep in the [[Eldwyn Forest]].

What Role do Organizations Play in Tenebrae?
Here you will find information on some of the more well-known local organizations in the gameworld. Organizations on this page may be of any size. However, Tenebrae isn't an organizations-focused game, though they do exist for roleplay purposes, and may show up in a DM'd plot. They're meant to provide background, plot devices, and roleplay flavor. NPCs too, are well-established leaders of factions: we've seen the drama created in other games with PC led factions, and that is a part of our decision to avoid it.
How do I join?
Generally, you just have an IC reason and declare yourself part of one.
Can I gain benefits?
Anyone can be a member of an organization. If you want to gain benefits, though, take a look at the RPP spend. If you're confused how RPPs work, just talk with anyone ingame. We're a helpful bunch!
Can I create a new organization?
If you want to make an organization, take a look at our questionairre! It lists the sort of things we'll ask. Be sure and understand how Organizations are used in Tenebrae, first, and make sure no other organization fits your concept. Do not try and create one for every PC. It is a lot of work for staff, and they tend to take some time to work through the process. Once you make your order, it is led by an NPC which is run by staff, and anyone may join.
Finding Others
You can use OrgChat inside of the game to find others in your organization, ask questions, or advertise your own! Also, you can add categories to your character page, to make yourself easier to find. Check out our Directory, too!
