The Secret World

The Secret World is a body of Lore that covers knowledge of the various secret societies present in the world. How do they operate, where are their assets located, what is their modus operandi and goal in life? The more proficient an Adept is in The Secret World, the better they will be able to recognize the work of secret societies and operate in their shadowy world.
