So, I got the hot idea today that to get my party already together and to keep them in a group motivation (particularly if they decide they want to to be their Evil campaign they've been bothering me about), I'm toying with the idea of having them all be Most Worthy Angelic Princes operating out of the Sothis branch of the Order.
What other sources beyond Trail of the Beast has info regarding the Order? They're sadly missing from Faction Guide, but is any info given about them in Rule of Fear or either Osirion CS book? Or any other book for that matter (there is a callout to Scarwall (Crimson Throne, I believe) and them helping slay Kazavon, but I don't wanna make a blind purchase and it be a dead end with just an NPC who belongs to the org being an ally).
Anyway, As I go through adding EOoPE to the AP, I'll post changes and musings.

First, I think this is a . Kudos on going with this spin on things. I may steal some of this myself.
There is some material in Rule of Fear on the Esoteric Order, but really, Brandon Hodge's article in Carrion Crown Vol II has all of what is in Rule of Fear and more. There is nothing in the new Osirion book on it at all; nor is there anything in the older Osirion companion. The reference to Kazuvon and Scarwall is an oblique reference to "Ustalavi arcanists" without any substance whatsoever. That's it and that's all.
So build from Brandon's article and draw upon some Call of Cthulhu and other pulp inspirations to fill in more details, as you may prefer.

So I sat down and did a bit of brainstorming over the last few weeks, and came up with a 'Faction Guide' esque faction for the Order, as well as coming up with additions to AP79 to include the Palantine eye (as well as tying in a key NPC ally earlier than AP80).
Esoteric Order to Mummy's Mask
I'll probably wait til Shifting Sands releases before working through stuff to add to AP80, and if the Occult Secrets book gives me a lot more to work with than the article from Trial of the Beast, then I will probably revise the Faction and the Prelude.

This looks useful, thanks!
