[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 6822302, member: 54629"] On page 127 of the SCAG, it says that the Enclave was [I]"found in the Vilhon Reach over a thousand years ago"[/I]. Earlier, on page 13, it specifies that the Enclave originated in Turmish. I don't know if it predates the SCAG at all, though. Right. In 2e, the magic pins were quite powerful. They granted you bonuses and immunities against charm, enchantment, and divination magic, immunity to [I]magic missile[/I], and resistance to lightning damage. In 3e, they introduced a "lesser" version that just functioned as a [I]ring of mind shielding[/I] (but without the soul-storing effect that the 5e rings have), while the "greater" version offered that benefit plus all the benefits from the 2e pin. The reason I ask is because I was thinking of giving the two Harper PCs in my Tyranny of Dragons campaign the "lesser" Harper pins (and maybe the "greater" ones later in the campaign), but then I thought that might be a little unfair, so I'd like to come up with something comparable for the other factions. The other two PCs are members of the Lords' Alliance and Emerald Enclave respectively. The Alliance's insignia is a signet ring, while the Enclave's is a leaf clasp. [/QUOTE]
