Soulframe: How to join The Silent Rose

If you fancy playing a roguish Envoy in Soulframe, The Silent Rose is the most appropriate faction to join. Among the three factions you can carry out bounties for in Preludes 12, Silent Rose is a great faction to grind early, because it eventually gives you Ode Tempest, the de-facto best pact despite some recent nerfs.

Other than that, The Silent Rose can also give you a full set of the Regent's armor, which is what Lady Deora wears herself. As expected of a secretive sect, though, The Silent Rose is hidden in an underground flagon at the north-western tip of Midrath.

How to enter the Silent Rose Enclave in Soulframe

Before you can enter The Silent Rose Enclave in Soulframe, there's some prerequisites. First, clear The Torment Stag quest, which opens access to Faction Tales. If you already have that done and dusted, head over to the Garren Shrine (north-west of Fort Curlail), and pick up a letter found on a stool next to a tent, that starts with "If ye can keep a secret...".

This letter gives you a hint as to where The Silent Rose's headquarters might be located, and also gives you an objective called "An Invitation". This letter-fetching part of the process can reportedly be skipped and you can head over directly to the location. Still, it's best to just tick that box to be sure.

In any case, the next step is the port town of Salzbrim, which is near the north-western edge of the map. Once you get there, look for some stone steps leading to a cave you can enter by the shore. Once inside, look towards your right to find a woman called Aileas standing guard.

Before you can enter, Aileas gives you a task to complete: deal with the local Banneret. An area will be marked on your map. Basically, it's right above where you get this task, so re-enter Salzbrim and get ready for some combat. After you've dispatched the Banneret, return to Aileas to enter the Silent Rose Enclave, which doubles as a cool social hub.

Requirements for joining the Silent Rose faction in Soulframe

To join the Silent Rose faction, you'll need the Rose's Bodkin Talisman (you just need it in your inventory, don't need to equip it). This is automatically given to you if you chose Sirin as your starting pact in Soulframe. However, if you started with any other pact, you need to craft it by finding a Rose's Bodkin fragment, and a Sacred Shimmer.

The Rose's Bodkin fragment can drop from any metallic chest found near Ode'n tents, forts and other overworld settlements in Midrath. However, the Sacred Shimmer is gated behind some Faction Tale grinding. You basically need to join any other faction, and get to Rank 5, which lets you buy it with 7500 Faction standing.

If you started with Tethren, you can automatically join The Kith of Kings
If you started with Oscelda, you can join Alca's Children instead

At any rate, once you have crafted the Rose's Bodkin, you can enter the flagon and talk to Lady Deora inside (found in the room with the bartender) to join The Silent Rose faction in Soulframe.
