Path of Emanence

(Also known as the Order of Emanantion, it appears they might have changed it after rebranding)

Description
The Path of Emanence is a mysterious organization that appears to have a focus on research and learning. It notably has no respect for creatures not from the prime material plane, including (but not limited to) angelic and devilish creatures.

Player Interactions
The party first heard of the Path of Emanence from the small god, who asked Britni to look into Kvari Keep. Later, in Kotumi, when some of the members kidnapped Britni on her 17th birthday, per a contract her father had signed to give them the rights to her. The party tracked her to Kvari Keep, where they found out that the Path of Emanence were doing experiments on different types of Aasimar and Tieflings (those of Angelic and Devilish blood) to try and see if they could reverse-engineer what happened with Erynies (former angelic creatures that are now devilish). The Path of Emanence is doing this through legal means, tricking their subject's parents into signing them over when they reached the age of majority. After freeing their friend, they struck a deal with Yshmael of the Twin Paradises and K’thonis of the Sulphered Darkness to help them take out the remaining Path of Emanence Locations.

When in Sarantium, the party met with the gifts officer, Xanthi Skerlos, found out that they had some close connections to Eobard the Smiling, and typically work under an agile framework. During a tour of their Sarantium location, they found out that the group has been doing research on various demigods, Hisal, complex magical equations, and binding souls to golems.
