Secret Societies
If there is one thing that Eisenfolk enjoy more than invention, it is the invention of secret communities. As such, there are a variety of types of these sub communities which range from barely veiled excuses for a gentle-person’s poker get together to generations long societies of politics, nobility, or magic.
Any of these societies that exist beyond the aforementioned “excuse for a social club”, understands that it operates on two specific points - a level of secrecy and a level of understanding not to buck the system too hard. Any society which lacks either of those becomes the target of the nobles, the Rooks, or the Syndicate.
While there are some public groups, ostensibly called “Social Clubs” (see High Class Social Clubs and Middle Class Social Clubs) instead of secret societies, membership within them is no less exclusive and all the more rigidly watched.
Many of the guilds, especially those focused on physical crafts, tend to have some level of secret initiation into the inner circles of the guild, but such is not the province of just the guilds. In the various academic schools, the Academia Casus as well as the The Academy of Adventuring Arts, it is not unheard of for there to be secret enclaves that function more or less like fraternities inside each school.
