The Eldrytch Web seeks to bring an age of enlightened leadership back to Dereth. This land has suffered from numerous calamities brought on by the fumbling mistakes of a host of would-be rulers with more power than sense. The sentimental fool Asheron invited an alien menace into our world, and then compounded his mistake by dragging innocent and unprepared Isparian mortals onto this troubled island. The mortal Isparian rulers Elysa and Varicci stumble from mistake to mistake, squandering the power that this land offers. Ancient sages know that a land and its ruler are as one, and this land will not be secure and prosperous again until it is ruled once again by a competent and steady hand.
The ancient and noble kingdom of Dericost was once a peaceful realm, ruled by an Eternal monarch. The kingdom was destroyed by the doubled mistakes of the Yalain, who assaulted our ancient domain and unleashed the demonic Hopeslayer upon this world. The arrogant buffoonery of the Yalain and the endless rage of the Hopeslayer are both anathema to a well-ordered realm. If Dericost had not been brought low by lost memories and shattered bastions of power, this land would even now be prospering under the wise and rational stewardship of His Eternal Splendor.
The current sundering of the world's ley lines presents a dire threat, as even now the forces of the Living Shadow seek to devour all Dereth's precious lifeblood. Even now, the mewling dupes of the Yalain seek to consolidate this power to correct their own mistakes. Even now, upjumped mortals meddling with Falatacot rituals that they cannot possibly understand also seek to claim the land's bounty for their own misguided ends. Only the ageless nobility of Dericost, most especially Lord Rytheran and Lady Aerfalle, possess the wisdom and control to properly channel this world's power to productive ends. Only with the guidance of the Eldrytch Web can Isparians hope to grow to their full potential here on Dereth.
The Eldrytch Web does not call Isparians into service to be slaves. We call you to join a well-ordered realm ruled by law and founded upon order. Once the Eldrytch Web achieves its aims of consolidating Dereth's magical energy and properly directing its lines of power, all loyal members will share in the endless bounty, rewarded according to their talents. A prosperous and peaceful realm is one where all citizens are aware of their role and work harmoniously together in such understanding. Only the Eldrytch Web can bring order to this chaos of others' making. When the choice comes to you, as it will soon, make the wise and rational choice.

Walkthrough
To begin your journey on becoming a Eldrytch Web member you
must have first completed the Introduction to the Three factions
quest before. See here for that writeup.
Introductions To The Societies
You must also be level 180+ in order to join a society. The NPC's in all of the societies will not give you the task if you are under that level.
In order to join The Eldrytch Web, head over to the Eldrytch Web's NPC Arturus and speak with him. He is located in Cragstone at 26.3N 49.6E.
He will ask you to head to the Corrupted Catacombs and retrieve a Corrupted Mana shard for her in order to become a member of the society.
*Note all society tasks for initiation and tasks inside are the same for each one.*
Head to the Corrupted Catacombs at 23.9S, 54.1E, very close to Sawato.
This is able to be done completely solo, so you do not need to bring a group with you in order to do this task.
The place is a maze so go slowly. Proceed through the dungeon looking for down ramps until you find a Slimy Key.
Or you can skip this step if you have lock pick.
Once you have the slimy key you need to go back to a large open room and on the far side is another ramp down.
You'll know your going the right way as you'll start seeing armored scalavus. Once you start encountering the armored scalavus stick right and keep heading down. You will pass a surface portal. On the right hand side will be a door, use the Slimy Key on the door to unlock it.
Once past the door dispatch the Armored Scalavus inside and double click the mana shard pedestal to receive it into your inventory.
*Note*
This corrupted mana shard will only last one hour, so do not log out thinking it will still be in your inventory when you play again.
You have one hour to get back to the NPC, before it disappears from your inventory. So remember to turn it in ASAP before the hour is up.
Return the shard to Arturus of the Eldrytch Web in Cragstone to be initiated into the Eldrytch Web faction.
You can now access the portal behind him and gain access into the society stronghold.
Upon entering head North from the drop and down the ramp. And then south. You'll see a surface portal on your right hand side, which if used will take you back to the surface.
The East section of the stronghold contains NPC's that assign you tasks to complete for the society. You can tell which one's you can do by ID'ing them, as you can only do the one's your rank is at. There are also vendors here, as well as NPC's that will test you as you gain rank.
To the west are the NPC's that give out Society Armor per Armor Writ. You gain these by doing tasks for the NPC's in the East room and then buy them via the merchants there. You also receive an armor writ each time you advance in rank.
The repeatable tasks given to you by the NPC's in the East part of the complex are on 6day timers.
The north section contains the Society Master, the promotions officer to which to turn in your promotion ribbons, and society vault keeper. You can use the Initiates Treasure Key you got from joining the society here. Make sure and read the chest descriptions carefully.
Congratulations you've now become a member of the Eldrytch Web Society.
