The Moonweavers are a subset and arm of the Illuminated Assembly. Charged with information gathering and keeping tabs on the various power groups around Ardicil, the Moonweavers often work in the shadows of the more welcomed consulate magi that the Illuminated Assembly willingly give to the political powers all over Ardicil.

You have access to the Moonweaver shadow network, which allows you to communicate with other members of the order over long distances. If you write a letter in a special arcane ink, address it to a member of the Moonweavers, and cast it into a fire, the letter will burn to cinders and materialize whole again on the person of the agent you addressed it to.
The ink used to send a letter across the shadow network is the same as that used by a wizard to scribe spells in a spellbook. Writing a letter in this ink costs 10 gp per page.
