[QUOTE="RealAlHazred, post: 6748755, member: 25818"] [b]Originally posted by Hellcow:[/b] Oh, it certainly does NOW. It's just that I see the modern order as being very different from the wartime orders like the Onyx Skull and such. Essentially, during the war it was an entirely legitimate elite military unit - one that was so successful it was getting too much recognition and influence for the seekers. Since the war it is disavowed terrorist organization that is openly controlled by someone who the world at large would consider a supervillain (bear in mind that they don't know her true identity, but they know they work for "The Queen of Death"). For me, the Emerald Claw is a lot like COBRA. They are the people who you KNOW are up to know good. And like COBRA, they are an organization with covert agents and shock troopers, with spies and soldiers. They've got spectres and wraiths, changelings pretending to be vampires, vampire assassins, and who knows what else. But again, that's a whole different thing from the elite unit that served in the war. Now, what about BEFORE the war? Erandis hasn't been hanging out with no agents, right? Certainly true - she already had that network of priests, wizards, vampires and such built up over centuries. They just didn't have a fancy name and weren't acting so boldly. As I see it, the modern Emerald Claw is essentially Erandis taking the name and remnants of the chivalric order - which did serve with distinction during the war - and using it as a figurehead for her previously existing stealth forces, simultaneously using that name it earned during the war as a way to draw in Karrnathi patriots to use as cannon fodder in her schemes. In any case, I think we agree as to what it's like TODAY. I just didn't see the organization called "The Order of the Emerald Claw" as being like that during the war itself. And certainly at that time, they weren't openly serving the Queen of Death; she came to them after they had been unjustly condemned by the false king. BUT AGAIN... that's MY Eberron! [/QUOTE]
