We talk about the factions a Mage is likely to encounter after their Awakening. The four Orders in the Atlantean Diamond plus the Free Council, comprising the Atlantean Pentacle, as well as the Seers of the Throne.

Sometimes a Mage needs help from other Mages, to deal with a threat they've never encountered before; to cast a spell grander than what they could perform on their own; or simply to ask questions. When you're looking for allies as a Mage, you will likely consider approaching the Atlantean Diamond, the Free Council, or both. The last option for most Mages would be the Seers of the Throne.
Made up of the four Atlantean Orders, the Atlantean Diamond is the stop for most Mages. The Adamantine Arrow are Mages known for their bravery and heroism. Arrows are honorable and care deeply about vows, oaths, and duty. The Guardians of the Veil are a secretive religion which treats magic as a responsibility. Guardians police the other orders for corruption and infiltration. The Mysterium seek lost and hidden knowledge. They store their treasures in Athenaeums, museums and archives where they can be studied and protected. Finally, the Silver Ladder, an organization of Mages who wish to Awaken as many Sleepers as possible. They are responsible for organizing Consiliums and managing the Lex Magica.
If a Mage does not like the ideals espoused by any of the Atlantean Orders, they may prefer the Free Council instead. Boasting a larger membership count than any of the other orders, and mostly leaving its members to themselves, any Mage can find a home in the Free Council. The Diamond tends to think of the Free Council as a fifth Order, referring to the five as the Atlantean Pentacle. Together, the Pentacle Orders govern local areas as a Consilium, represented by diplomatic agents.
Finally, the Seers of the Throne, though not an Order for most players in most games. The Seers worship the Exarchs and seek to maintain their dominion over the Fallen World by hindering the Pentacle. A player-character Mage will typically have some Status with one of the Orders in the Pentacle.
