Well, thats the thing. The 1st founders will almost certainly (but not entirely certainly) join the E, while the succesors may feel that the 1st founders are being fooled and go with the Ecc's.

Thus, you can have people like, for example, the Black Templars and the Crimson Fists fighting the 1st founders. Thus, the issue is solved.
