Ok. Share the names (or make them up!) of the elite organisations that have appeared in your games. What were they and what did they do?

Bretonnian Gastronomic Society (WFRP): A group of Bretonnian nobility who held weekly get togethers to destroy the careers of prospective cooks and in order to get free food to scoff at.

The Treaders (RM): A group or ne'er do wells that frequented a slum called the Beggars Tread. Largely incompetent, but certainly ruthless.

Ultra Force Omega - secret black ops team responsible for putting a bullet through the head of weird threats to national security

Occult Crimes Taskforce - the part of the Department of Homeland Security charged with investing supernatural crimes that cross state lines

In my d20 Modern campaign - The Mandate - the pcs had to foil the schemes of a cult called Truth Omega who staged elaborate religious hoaxes. So convincing were their tricks that the world was gripped with religious fundamentalism. Their purpose - the pcs never found out, because the campaign took a different direction.

Well, my 3 kingdoms campaign is chock-full of groups like this, some historical and some mythical.

Besides the Wudan monks and the Taiping monks (later the Yellow Turban revolutionaries), we had the 36 Military Commanders, the Horse Lords of Liang, the Five Geniuses, the 4 Crippled Assassins, the Ten Regular Attendants, and many more.  Those Han Chinese would form elite societies at the drop of a hat.

In my Roman Campaign we've got the Four Horsemen (though that's a pretty exclusive club) the Mithraists (Roman Freemasons! Yay! :mason:), the Brotherhood of Set, dozens of different Christian sects, and The XIII (a secret society that Jongwk's character inadvertently created that are now on the cusp of turning into Rome's official secret police, and have way too much power (and knowledge of the Immortals) for the PCs to feel comfortable about).

My Legion of Superheros campaign has the Legion itself, and the not-so-elite Legion of Substitute Heroes.

In Warhammer the Knights of the Panther have briefly appeared.

No elite groups in my Hollow World campaign, as of yet.
