<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== What is a Society? ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== Current Societies ==<br />
There are currently three societies in [[GemStone IV]].<br />
<br />
*'''[[Order of Voln]]'''<br />
:A society formed in honor of [[Voln]] and the other [[Arkati]] of [[Liabo]]. Its sole purpose is the destruction of the [[Undead]] and all who would use them for their own ends.<br />
<br />
*'''[[Council of Light]]'''<br />
:A society once based within [[Wehnimer's Landing]], it was discovered by the officials and forcibly banished from town. Rumors persist that the entire thing was an elaborate sham, and that the Council remains active.<br />
<br />
*'''[[Guardians of Sunfist]]'''<br />
:The newest society to join Elanthia, the Guardians were the first effective response to the Grimswarm invasions. Little is known about their nature as they only just were released.<br />
<br />
== Societal Abilities ==<br />
Most societies grant their members various abilities as they progress through their ranks. Each has its own method of earning advancement.<br />
