Societies are groups that operate within Elanthia that are
often formed with a singular purpose in mind (Voln
for instance, is focused on releasing trapped souls from undead
creatures) and grant special abilities to its members. Typically
there is also an advancement mechanism in place, allowing
a player to move up the ranks to bigger and better abilities.
A player may choose to join a society one he or she meets
the requirements to join.
Unlike Houses, societies
are not officially run by players. While players within societies
may hold high positions, they are not ultimately in charge
of the society, usually answering to a society leader.
Current Societies
The
Order of Voln
Lesser god and immortal Lord
Voln has pledged himself to the release of every soul
enslaved by Luukos.
With the help of the Lords
and Ladies of Liabo, Voln's society has taught many adventurers
great skills and powers in their battle against the undead.
C.O.L.
While it is unkown whether this is even an actual society,
rumors of its existence are plentiful enough to warrant explanation.
