The Society of Shadows is an extremely incognito secret society of rogues located in Spyre.
Description[]
The Society of Shadows is an extremely secretive group, and most people don't know about its existence as it prefers to stay under the radar. It is a group of some of Spyre's greatest rogues. The families and friends of new members must have their memories modified in order to keep the society's existence a secret, although the families will be protected covertly by the society.
Though it is assumed that the Society of Shadows' name is metaphorical, it is actually named after the founding family, the Shadows.
Background[]
The Society of Shadows was co-founded by the Shadow family, of which Eugenia Shadow, the rogue teacher at Aguefort Adventuring Academy, is a member.
History[]
The Society of Shadows attempts to recruit Penny Luckstone near the end of her senior year at Aguefort Adventuring Academy. Penny is repeatedly at odds with herself over her decision, as she wants to both join the society, and stay a part of The Maidens. The Society reaches out to her again with Laertes Astrindarius, who meets with her in The Baronies. When she finds out that her close friends & family will have to forget her, and she will not be able to see them again.
In The Necronomikron, Talura's perversion of Chronoa's Time, Penny jumps into an alternate universe where she joined to Society of Shadows, and assassinates a version of Penny that went to Mumple School with the rest of her family.
Due to the poor wisdom and leaky mouth of Laertes Astrindarius, a video of him talking about the Society goes viral. The Society is revealed to the world, and Penny is able to join them without leaving the Maidens or anyone's memory being modified.
