  This AR does not
  count when
  determining
  Access: Adventure.
  Symbol: No oﬃcial symbol. Using the Scarlet Brotherhood 
  coat of arms in public would be suicidal.
  Background, Goals, and Dreams: The Scarlet Brotherhood 
  conquered Idee and was later defeated by troops from the South 
  Province. While its senior leadership and hobgoblin soldiers were 
  executed, large numbers of regular soldiers and some oﬃcers were 
  instead taken to labor camps to rebuild what they had destroyed. 
  The assassination of Graf Reydrich by the Scarlet Brotherhood 
  probably saved these soldiers from eventual execution. After many 
  years in labor camps, some of these soldiers have been freed or have 
  escaped. They are unable to return home, for the journey is perilous 
  and they would be branded cowards at best, traitors at worst by their 
  erstwhile leaders. As such, these soldiers band together to the best 
  of their abilities and try to incorporate into a society that hates and 
  fears them. Many still share ideas of Suel Supremacy, while others 
  simply wish to live in some kind of dignity. 
  Members of this aﬃliation were either low-ranking members 
  in the Scarlet Brotherhood or savage Hepmonaland Suel. They 
  can be found in all major towns of Naerie where they form an 
  underclass in the society, doing odd jobs ranging from street 
  sweepers to bodyguards. Some more fortunate ones disguise as 
  foreign merchants and keep small shops. There are usually a few 
  members in each town who collect “tax” from other former Scarlet 
  Brotherhood members and then use the money for the beneﬁt of all 
  when needed. Higher ranking members may also act as Shodeen/
  Shokal (lit. police oﬃcer/investigators) in case of crimes that 
  happen within the community.
  Enemies and Allies: The former conquerors have few friends 
  and many enemies in the Principality. The established churches of 
  Lydia and Wee Jas are the only ones who will associate and support 
  the former Brotherhood soldiers as a group. The Lydians are active 
  in the labor camps, providing for the prisoners and trying to make 
  a case for widespread amnesty.
  Most everyone else at the very least dislikes the former 
  Brotherhood soldiers. Hepmonaland Suel are hated and called 
  savages, and ostracised by the society in general. The dwarves of the 
  Iron Hills and the Idee Volunteers also have special enmities with 
  the Brotherhood men.

  Titles, Beneﬁts, and Duties: Members still use Scarlet 
  Brotherhood titles such as Cousin (Eltesh) or Brother (Sahey) when 
  dealing with each other. Some of those of pureblood stock still call 
  Hepmonalanders sub-citizens (Sharafon) but these are typically 
  those who still hold up hope for another Scarlet Brotherhood 
  invasion.
  Characters in leadership positions will become privy to certain 
  secrets of the Brotherhood that the survivors have kept to this 
  day, such as certain ways of spellcraft and training in Brotherhood 
  combat styles. It is also accepted that they get to use a small amount 
  of the taxes they gather to raise their own standard of living.
  The Brothers and Sisters have the authority to gather taxes from 
  their communities, while the Elders each oversee an entire Barony.
