Shadow and Light

Aram bin Kaleel, Pathfinder

Greetings, Pathfinders of the Shadow Lodge! I know that many Pathfinders are nervous of the tidings that are to be revealed tonight by the Ten. I am certain Grandmaster Torch is well aware of the details of this announcement, as his information network is unparalleled in Golarion. For the rest of us, we must wait and see what happens, and whether our patrons will remain welcome in the Society.

Despite its origins, the Shadow Lodge has done much to improve the Society since it "came in from the cold", so to speak. Your advocacy for the individual agents has made real progress in how the Ten utilizes "resources" such as you and me. Yet I feel we could do more, by encouraging Society members to become self-reliant and self-sufficient, rather than extreme specialists. I have been assigned to many missions without a healer, or arcanist, or other important role. Only my Lamplighter creed provided the tools I needed to come through unscathed.

The Lamplighters encourage Pathfinders to be able to handle any situation without relying on other specific team members. We hearken back to the days of Durvin Gest, who went alone into the wild and found glory and knowledge. Our aims are simply those of the Society, and we like you believe that the Society is built on the capabilities of its agents.

Do not despair of your decision to join the Society, and do not revert to the old ways of terror and subversion - they cannot succeed. Work with us from within for the betterment of all Society members. Join us!

Your servant,
Aram bin Kaleel, Pathfinder and Lamplighter

What the hell are the lamplighters? Is this on the podcast or something?

Since this is the in-character faction board, that's how I wrote the post. Follow the link and you'll see that the Lamplighters are an informal in-character organization in the Pathfinder Society. Our creed focuses on personal betterment and a broad range of skills an abilities, rather than the specialist-with-one-weapon-one-trick-pony approach which has become popular in some circles. There is no game effect, no bonuses for joining, no "faction" missions. It's a group of characters (and/or players) who espouse a certain playstyle in keeping with the background of the campaign.

Is that like when someone says they are Zarta Dralneen's cousin or the Bishop of the Church of Saranrae in Absalom?
