Fate of "Risen" PCs?

[GM Lamplighter]

Members of the old Osirion faction could take "The Risen", which allowed them to pay 8PP for a raise dead (instead of the usual 16 PP), at the cost of not ever being allowed to change factions.

When Amenopheus was on the outs with the Ruby Prince, this started to bother me, since if the Ruby Prince didn't want to be involved in Pathfinder business, why is he allowing his personal guard to go gallivanting off with them? Now, of course, the Ruby prince supports *no* factions in the Society, and so even those former Osirion members who stay in the new "Scarab Sages" faction have no connection to the Ruby Prince. Are they still not allowed to change factions?

I really hope that some of the box text from 5-99 "The Paths We Choose" makes it out publicly, because this is another one where it's significant.

Scarab Sages Conclusion box text from 5-99:

“In the Ruby Prince’s name, I offer you Osirion’s blessing. We officially recognize the Jeweled Sages’ legitimacy and accept them as allies and honored guests within our borders.”

To me, this gives former Osirion (and Risen Guard) PCs 100% clearance to continue to operate :)

Hope that helps!
