Theosophical Society

The Theosophical Society is a group of spiritualists and mystics who study the Orders of Adepts in order to gain greater awareness of 'cosmic secrets.' They aren't really a bad organization, but they can be a bit of a nuisance if they start 'observing' (ie, spying) on Adepts in order to study and learn from them. The more bold members of the Society will approach Adepts and offer their services in return for a chance to follow the Adept and learn from them.
The Society is centuries old and has gained not a small amount of cash. If they do offer help, chances are they can cough quite a bit of dough when they want too.
== Evolution Of All Things: ==
The Theosophical Society observes Adepts because the group pushes a theology that teaches that God is slowly having everything evolve into a perfect world, a paradise here on Earth. They believe the Adepts are favored by God who has evolved them into a 'higher state,' which is why they have supernatural powers. 
This has brought them into conflict with other Adepts who disprove of Evolution. However, it has actually garnered them attention from other Adepts who are proponents of Evolution.
