Harmonium ranking system?

Hey there,

I can't seem to find the full Harmonium ranking system. In the old Planewalker's Guide are only a few hints (Mover, Notary with a number attached) and in the new setting's faction chapter it says there are five ranks. O.K. But what are they called, are there subranks, special agents etc.?

If anyone has an idea where to look, or if my search is futile and I have to improvise as I go, please enlighten me!

Have you looked at the Factol's Manifesto? Seems like most of the pertinent Harmonium info would be in there.

As I posted over on one of the Ortho threads:

In our games, we used a simple US military analogy to explain the ranks as follows:

Namers
Notary 1 = Private
Notary 2 = PFC
Notary 3 = Corporal
Notary 4 = Lance Corporal
Notary 5 = Sergeant

Factotums
Measure 1 = 1st Lieutenant or Master Sergeant (for those who didn't attend OCS at Melodia and advanced later in life)
Measure 2 = 2nd Lieutenant
Measure 3 = Captain
Measure 4 = Major
Measure 5 = Lt Colonel

Factors
Mover 1 = Colonel
Mover 2 = Brigadier (*) General
Mover 3 = Major (**) General
Mover 4 = Lieutenant (***) General
Mover 5 = [Full] (****) General

Factol
Composer = (*****) General of the Army

We added Notary 0 to represent those who served the minimum active military service, but were still full members of the faction...They were the members who were shopkeepers, touts, laborers, etc and not involved actively in keeping the peace in Sigil, not that they didn't intervene in stopping law-breakers either by direct intervention or by calling for policing Hardheads...Also, those who had achieved higher ranks within the faction, but had retired from active service to settle down had their rank reduced by one and the term retired attached to their rank until recalled to active service, i.e. a Measure 3 who retired to, say, open up a bub-joint would be a Measure 2, ret. ...
