Season 5 Faction Missions for obsolete factions?

[silverace99]

Let's say an an example, that I have a player who is in the new Exchange faction.

I run a season 5 scenario Sczarni-specific faction mission.

3 Questions come out of this:

a) If the player was Sczarni before moving to the Exchange, does he get to try to succeed at the old faction mission?

b) If the player was NOT Sczarni but is now in the Sczarni/Qadira combined Exchange faction, does he get to try to succeed at the Sczarni faction mission?

c) What happens to these faction missions in the future when there are no longer any characters who were Sczarni?

Obviously I value opinions, but what I'm really looking for here is an official ruling either through documentation or developer comment.

Thanks

Boons for the Sczarni faction are no longer available to anyone. The GM can hand out and run the Sczarni mission for no mechanical benefit for any player who wants to do it, just as for season 0-4 faction missions.

edit: nvm I see it in the season 6 guide:

"Liberty’s Edge faction PCs qualify for Andoran faction
vanities and mission boons available in past seasons.
Likewise, Dark Archive faction PCs qualify for Cheliax
rewards, Scarab Sages as Osirion, The Exchange as
Qadira, and Sovereign Court as Taldor. Without a boon
that states otherwise, a PC cannot earn Sczarni vanities
or boons."

That is so bizarre. Why is Sczarni getting specifically called out here ?

Because Sczarni are the only one that isn't continuing under a new name (or the same name). The Exchange is technically the Sczarni being folded into Qadira, as I understand it. How and why they chose that particular arrangement isn't necessarily clear.
