This is completely in development still. But it's something tangible to look at and offer feedback on at least. Suggestions as to what to add/remove/edit are encouraged.
Without a classification system, the linkshells will likely just be listed one by one in alphabetical order. I'm going to use Stormguard as a sample template for right now. This is just format related stuff and I haven't added in new info that's been suggested yet. As you can see, we can continue using the tabs system for each individual shell. Aside from basic info and lore, not sure what else to put though. Rules? Memoirs? Something else?

[tabs:Lore ]On the surface the Order of the Stormguard is a group of mercenaries who help the City-States and individuals in exchange for gil. Everything from finding lost pets to battling the strongest of enemies, the Stormguard have a reputation for decimating all enemies. Although their innerworkings remain hidden from the outside world, their newest Highguard Fulminata, Seraphine Cerius, has lifted some of the secrecy surrounding the group in order to enlist more crafters and soldiers and line their coffers.
Historically, the Stormguard is an order of individuals that has existed for several hundred years. As a result, it has a history wrapped in tradition, ritual, and religion. It also has a history of secrets embedded deep within the memories of those of the highest rank. That's because that upon entering the Stormguard, a member only learned the bare minimum of what they must know to be a member of the Guard. All members were tattooed with the mark of the Guard, a mark that carries a deep symbolism and meaning to the Stormguard members.
Rising in rank is very ritualistic, and requires great dedication. Every time a member rises in rank, a certain ceremony would take place. Presiding over these ceremonies were the Highguard and the High Priestess, a mystic with powers over the sight of past events. These ceremonies took place at the hidden strongholds of the Guard: four in total; and even many of the Stormguard's members did not know the way to the most secret of these bastions.
The Stormguard are also deeply religious, believing in duality and brotherhood, and most especially, the Blessed brother and sister, Byregot and Halone, the Builder and the Fury. Their holiest moons were the first astral moon and the fourth astral moon, and ice and lightning figured prominently in the imagery and lore.][/tabs]
