Question: How does the faction shift impact the season 3 and 4 sessions that had different goals for the different factions?
Does Dark Archives=Cheliax, Exchange=Qadira, and such? Or do we just forgo those aspects of the adventures?

Edit: Unless I misunderstand the question, the overall Faction goals where really only for seasons 4 and 5. Season 5 was the only one with specific boons for those goals.
I forget exactly which page, but the new factions map to their previous version with respect to earning faction specific boons. For example Sovereign Court PCs will be able to earn Taldor faction boons from season five scenarios.
Andoran<->Liberty's Edge
Cheliax<->Dark Archive
Osirion<->Scarab Sages
Qadira<->The Exchange
Taldor<->Sovereign Court
Sczarni<->???
No one will be able to earn Sczarni Faction boons anymore.

Sorry if I phrased it badly. I have "Tide of Twilight" (season 3) and "Rise of the Goblin Guild" (season 4) and both have specific goals for factions. They're for
the extra prestige point, not a boon. As I'm hoping to GM them in the near future, I was making sure I would allocate or deny that extra point correctly. The missing Sczarni faction really stinks.

You know about the
Secondary Success Conditions document, right? It provides updated conditions for all Season 0 through 4 Scenarios for earning prestige that are not tied to the factions.
I was going to provide a link, but I can't find it on the Paizo site at the moment.
Edit: Here it is:
Secondary Success Conditions

Hmm, missed that one somehow. Of course, I've only been doing Society play for a couple of months, so I'm several years behind :=) Thanks for the input. I'll hunt down that document.

Just ran across a possible issue: I have a Cheliax character who had chosen fires of hell as his faction trait. That seems to not exist anymore. Is it grandfathered in, or must I choose a new trait?

You are fine as long as the pc has 1 or more xp. Otherwise technically I think it is a new character and you can no longer choose that trait.

Oh, good. The grandfather clause saves me! Thanks for the input.
