Ok so it is my understanding that the Shadow Lodge was not part of the original Lodges that were available in the earlier seasons. The reason for this is that until recently the Shadow Lodge operated outside the knowledge/orders of the Grand Lodge.
However in recent times due to some resistance group broken off from the Shadow Lodge attacking Pathfinders, the Decemvirate negotiated with Grandmaster Torch to re-assimilating the Shadow Lodge into the Pathfinders.
SO here are my points for discussion both in game and out.
1. Does this mean that the earlier scenarios like "Murder on the Silken Caravan." Which have no handouts for the Shadow Lodge faction are simply retired or will there be a supplement handout?
2.What constitutes suspicious Pathfinder behavior to the rest of you? and what is the appropriate response? The Decemvirate is pretty vague on the level Pathfinders can bend to accomplish their given tasks. For example dealing with Elder gods, generally not a good idea but if it gets the job done, so if a Pathfinder travels down the road of the dark tapestry what exactly is our duty in those matters? Weed out the corrupted Pathfinders then return and go "by the way so and so was summoning Chuthulu" or do we ignore them and go beat down the Grand Lodge's front door and cry shenanigans?
3.Finally as a new member of the Shadow Lodge, I would love to hear stories of your experiences following the tenants of the Shadow Lodge.

No:
All Previous Seasons: For the first three seasons of the
campaign, only five factions were available for characters
to ally with. As such, members of the five new factions
introduced in Season 3 playing older scenarios must
utilize faction missions from another faction, as follows.
• Grand Lodge faction PCs should treat Osirion faction
missions as their own for all pre-Season 3 scenarios.
• Lantern Lodge faction PCs should treat Qadira faction
missions as their own for all pre-Season 3 scenarios.
• Sczarni faction PCs should treat Taldor faction
missions as their own for all pre-Season 3 scenarios.
• Shadow Lodge faction PCs should treat Cheliax faction
missions as their own for all pre-Season 3 scenarios.
• Silver Crusade faction PCs should treat Andoran
faction missions as their own for all pre-Season 3
scenarios.
If members of two factions both receive the same
faction mission, members of both factions are considered
to have succeeded if either of them accomplishes the
mission presented.

I believe this is covered under the discussion threads which go into Alignment change, evil alignments, and what is the GM responsibility & rights for those situations.

Sorry, haven't played my Shadow Lodge PC much yet, so no stories yet.
