The Society of the King is a group of peasants, merchants and nobles who want to find the true High King with or without the help of the southern Houses. These people do not want to see their country torn apart by civil war and believe if they find someone of the blood it will be avoided.
The society was founded by two merchants, Jared and Thad Blessing, who had been stopped by brigands and lost too much of their cargo over the years. They brought in historians to research the lineage of the High King, brought in locals to have supply stations, and finders to locate members of the royal family.
Those who have served for more then six months are given a ring with a "C" on the top face and an inscription on the inside which says "May the Gods watch over him." This helps identify them to other members of the society. This is a newer addition since the identity of the True High King has tentatively been made in the time of my High King's Sword series.
This is a good group to use as a place to sell information to or to gather it from. If your players want to help the High King this would be a good group to try and join. Most of the help is from the northern Houses, and most likely a society member or a player who is society member would be killed if they were found out.
