The idea that a secret society took over SA is from Allison ranting and raving some months back. The story had enough time to circulate and get switched aroound.
I am fairly sure that Glaumring and Malficar had a hand in spreading that story. Those two cover a lot of nobles in D'hara and Asylon.
I honestly thought Allison had put herself in the cooking pot with the secession. I had my outer regions rejoin Morek to buy myself time. That day or two after the secession of Aegir saw a LOT of letter traffic. Getting Caerwyn to declare war was my last and only hope. Somehow it worked. Here are the two letters I sent to Baal. They are from 24 hours prior to the war declaration.

Archon Baal,
When Sanguis Astroism was founded many of us realized that we were putting a lot of power into 1 mans hands. So a secret society was founded. Our goal was to get all of our members into key Ducal seats. We would control the church that way. The first war with Aquilegia was because the Duke of the city was part of our group and quit the Secret Society and wouldn't follow its commands.
The church isn't really a church. It is more of a guild in my opinion. At least it is run that way.
Dukes of Gelene, Eidulb, Libidizedd, Mimer, and Muspelheim are members. Along with the Lords of Well of Mimer, Frekes Deep, Caiyun and Donghai. Those 10 nobles are the ones that decide the fate of the church. They control most of the Elder positions within the church as well. It is a potent combination. They control most of the wealth of Sanguis Astroism and most of its armies.
The Secret Society is named the "Warders of the Faith" it was intentionally named similar to the Warders of the Temple so that if the name ever did surface we would have plausible deniability and we could pretend it didn't exist.
We were also responsible for the first Darfix Colony and I am confident that another member of the society will become the Duke of Darfix when the time comes.
The wars against Aquilegia, Thulsoma, Averoth and Raivan Empire were all planned and organized in the WoF. Our goal was to spread Sanguis Astroism all across Dwilight. We were doing it systematically. 1 realm at a time. Once a new realm was set up in Nifelheim, Libero Empire would have been next. Caerwyn after that.
Caerwyn started to do some saber rattling at the outset of the war against Averoth. Astrum pulled back all their troops and started to play nice. Now that they have had a chance to heavily fortify their regions they are back attacking Averoth. Morek weakened them and now Astrum can finish them off.
I wish you luck. As I said before there isn't anything that can be done to save me. I am going to hold out as long as I can. But there is still time to save yourselves.

Archon,
For what it is worth the Astrumese mobile army is only about 7,000 combat strength. The rest of their massive CS is in militia and tied up in Gaston fighting monsters.
