Content
The book shared some insight into four secret societies of the region, some which were more well-known that others.

Harpers
The Harpers organization was said to be the most famous―or infamous―of the groups described within, even if their actual activities were more secretive. While its members famously said they detested the acquisition of power, the author doubted that was entirely true. The Harpers understood that knowledge is power, and by shrounding their own schemes, they managed to keep a tight grip over both.

Shadow Druids
The Shadow Druids was a group dedicated to the preservation of natural life at the cost of the more-intelligent humanoid species. They were said to be extremely dangerous, with an ideal about the natural order that would be considered depraved by nearly all peoples.

The Order of Klurd
The Order of Klurd was a sect on conspiratorial killers, despots, and sadists who found pleasure in delivering pain and suffering to others. They were among the lesser-known of the orders outlined in Secret Societies.

Dark Justiciars
The author shared no information about the Dark Justiciars, save for their worship of the goddess Shar.
