This is just what Funcom has given us officially to what each faction is. All information is to be labeled 'official'. The Illuminati
"We use any means necessary, regardless of the cost, because the world is a bad place. And you can either do, or get done. We're the Illuminati, and we're not done."
The notorious bad boys and girls of the secret world, the Illuminati are also the most ambitious, cut-throat and furtive of secret societies. From the gilded halls of the ancient pharaohs to the private clubs and decadent parties of the famously rich and egocentrically famous, from leaders of industry and Hollywood agents to presidents and popes, the Illuminati have weaved their intricate web with ruthless cunning and acute skill. The Illuminati seek to plunder heaven and hell by any means necessary, and god help those who stand in their way. They rule their corporate pyramid with cold opportunism, and only the strongest members survive. They will stop at nothing to get ahead, and the only thing that matters is accruing power and respect. This is a ruthless faction, but a highly successful one. Their secrets can make you rich and powerful beyond compare - or they may destroy your soul and sanity with it. As a member of the Illuminati, you don't play by anybody's rules. There are no rules. There is no honor.

The Templars "So our empire must be incorruptible, uncompromisable. Our conflict must be a righteous one.Your conviction will be tested, but among us your faith will be unshaken. Among the Templars." You came to us in search of a purpose, and mark this, there is no greater purpose than ours. The world will founder without structure and discipline. It needs leadership to guide it to a new age of stability. It needs those with the will to stamp out the darkness that breeds in the cracks. We do this because we are compelled. By tradition. By loyalty. By laws. Without these we are just animals. Evil reigns over animals, corrupting and compromising, toppling empires. So our empire must be incorruptible, must be uncompromising. Our conflict must be a righteous one. Your conviction will be tested. But among us, your faith will be unshaken. Few will stand in the way of the Templars' banner. Do you have the will to stand behind it? "Crusaders. Judges. The Holy Terror. The Templars are the world's least secretive secret society. Their military-idealogical machine has operated in plain sight since Babylon - a matte of pride, or moral superiority. Conspiracy theorists, obsessed with the minor 'Knights Templar' offshoot, underestimate the Templars true European empire. Private armies. Members of the parliaments. Royal families. The Templars believe they will deliver the world from evil by force, and even their opponents - who call them zealots and warmongers - cannot deny that force. As an agent of the Templars you are not just fighting the war on darkness, you "are" the war on darkness. Suave and sophisticated, but brutal and uncompromising, you use history as a weapon to shape the future."

The Dragons "We understand, and create chaos, in order to achieve balance.The two most powerful warriors are patience, and time. We are Dragon, and we have both."Manipulators and conspirators, the Dragon have survived for millennia by playing their enemies against each other. Since before the first empire, through the aggression of the Mongol Khans and the ebb and tide of the polotical change, a whisper in the right ear, a strategic assassination, alliance carefully crafted and broken - and the world eventually bends to the patient will of the immortal Dragon. With a spiritual and philosophical approach to the secret crafts, as an acolyte of the Dragon you are taught to listen, shown how to teach others, and expected to respect the balance of the universe and to be humble in the face of fate. Yours is not the path of force, though force is often needed to clear the path. Few know of the Dragon and their long history, and that is how the Dragon want it. You are invisible but pervasive, silent but all-knowing, and when the other secret societies have decimated each other, you will rebuild the world from the ruins of their arrogance. The Dragon is too easily underestimated, but those who do so live to regret it - or die before they get the chance.
