What do you mean "two masters sect"? I said that "Some Masters will group themselves into a larger order to control a city or somesuch". How does that get transformed into "all Arkari sects have only two masters at the most"?

It is? I seriously doubt that the majority of Safelstrans are members of a secret society. I strongly dislike the idea that a Safelstran can entertain the notion of joining two or more secret societies.
>Religious Societies
>Political Societies
>Arkati Societies
Is there any meaningful reason why we should keep these distinct? I can't for the life of me figure out why a Religious Society must have a strong leadership, or why a Political Society must be purely mundane affairs seeking political power for its own sake, and why Arkati are somehow special in this scheme?
