The Path of Light
A secret society operating in the The Summerlands, but with support all through Europa, is called ‘the Path of Light.’ They work tirelessly to help the living in the Summerlands who want to escape to other countries.
The Path, as it is often shortened to, is very selective who they help, often preferring to assist families or those with children who wish to leave. Those who found themselves in the Summerlands due to criminal pasts, or antisocial natures, tend not to be contacted by members of the Path. They operate in independent cells, often with only the local leader knowing the next members of the chain, in order to keep the group safe if one cell is exposed, but they have been operating for a long, long time, and have devoted a number of ways to avoid the wary eyes of the undead masters of the land.
Officially, the activities of the Path are illegal throughout Europa - any country seeking to reach a trade deal with the Summerlands to take advantage of their valuable export market must agree to recognize the Path as a criminal organization, with any members caught to be extradited to the Summerlands for interrogation, but in practice, most governments pay lip services to this notion, and only arrest and extradite members who are particularly blatant, or assist people the country worked hard to get rid of by exile to the Summerlands. Still, the Path of Light does not rely on this tolerance, and works hard to keep their activities secret to all but those they assist. It is fairly common for people helped by the Path to turn around and join the secret society, out of gratitude for the assistance.
