Ancient Order of the Aeon Rites

The Ancient Order of the Aeon Rites is an occult fraternity of sorcerers dedicated to uncovering a particular ritual that will bring about universal perfection.

Overview
The AOAR was founded in 1873 by Johannes Agrippa, but they extensively research ancient magical traditions to reconstruct what they believe are the idealized forms of certain rites granted by the Creator for the benefit of mortals. They are a compassionate, community-minded organization who honestly believe they are doing what's best for all of humanity, and are prone to lecturing other sorcerers for what the AOAR perceives as selfishness.

Like most mystery cults, there are different degrees of initiation in the AOAR. The highest degree is the Secret Watchers, consisting of their deceased inner circle, including Agrippa. These Secret Watchers have allegedly manifested at meetings on a number of occasions to offer direction or advice, but the manifestations are not predictable or reliable.
