Ligeia Club

The Ligeia Club is a group of Alukite women that hold seven Keys to the Doors of the Mansus, which are needed for aspiring Long to become Names.

There is always seven, although not the same seven, and it wasn't always called Ligeia Club.

The club is mentioned in several places, though the references are vague and quite convoluted, as most Mansus-lore tends to be.

The Hebe Stanton's description states that the club once chartered the entirety of the notorious vessel, but only used 7 of the cabins. This implies that there are only 7 members to the club, which may or may not be the case.

The Viennese Conundrum reads that the club was involved in some part with the events that took place during the Worm Wars there, as well as being mentioned that they were operating under the guise of a charitable organization that facilitates the funerals of the poor. Under the pretense that the Ligeians are known to consume sentient beings, up to and including their own children, it can be surmised that the Club was using their charity work as a front to acquire more bodies to consume.

Members of the Ligeia Club may be presumed to be:
 * Sulochana Amavasya
 * Marinette, Our Lady of Wires
 * Morgen
 * Medusa
 * Klêidouchos
 * Echidna
 * Rowena

They are feared and respected, at least among the likes of Reckoners, if not by a larger portion of the occult world on the whole, referenced by Sulochana saying that her contacts should prepare for her to "come for their children, next" should they displease her. They are extraordinarily old, and have considerable supernatural abilities. For example, Sulochana is obviously highly skilled in shapeshifting, as she is the mentor to the main character's Change victory conditions; Echidna likewise has multiple forms.

"I don't know precisely what the Ligeia Club is; but all reckoners do know that its members are older and hungrier than any of our mobs. We've learnt to avoid them."
