No problem. Ironic that I mixed up Oranor and Orathorn in the same post.

I'd check the archives here. Seems like someone wrote something pretty extensive on Orathorn at some point--stuff that was all new to me. I barely recall it, but I think the Orathorn sorcerers are pretty mixed up with the powers of hell, using undead yet still managing some strange moral ambivilance that makes them less objectionable than Delecti. Or was it that they were on the cusp of life and death?
Being involved with hell powers means that most anything can work its sneaky way into their membership over time--even a movement like the ones your heroes want to be part of--one that would ulitmately threaten Orathorn itself.

And of course, the Lunars know their way around hell pretty well....
