Associations

From LSWiki

Along with the numerous guilds on Lost Souls, there are various associations as well. Associations are groups that one can join in addition to a guild. There is no limit to how many associations you can join, but first you must find them. Associations generaly have relatively small requirements and benefits compared to guilds. The The information you have about associations is as follows:

They are said to meet someplace in the north-eastern forests of the continent, though if the precise location were well known it would certainly have been lanced like a boil by this time.
