Raioté

Raioté is an organization of anonymous "heroes" originating from Erados in the year 4120, twenty years after the Godbomb. In Eradosi culture, one's identities across multiple social groups are meant to be separate and discrete; consequently, within Raioté, there was initially an expectation that within the context of the organization, the benefactors would not be recognized except as a collective whole and would have pseudonyms to ensure that their identities elsewhere would not be muddled.
In the wake of the Godbomb, there was a great need for humanitarian aid as well as other types of labor -- for example, venturing into dangerous regions for supplies. Raioté was not the first group of its kind, but it was one of the most effective in how it divided its forces according to their skills rather than what was needed most. By building a foundation of getting small tasks done, they eventually attracted specialists for more urgent issues, and the organization grew as a result. In their success, they spread throughout Beyne, and by the year 4200, they had outposts elsewhere throughout Ealdremen.
However, because of the Eradosi roots the organization has, even after spreading on a system-wide scale, Raioté still has its employees keep their personal and work lives strictly separate. Up until the year 4249, Raioté's employees were not even allowed to reveal they worked for Raioté and were instead meant to claim employment from one of Raioté's satellite companies affiliated with the group's work but not formally considered part of Raioté itself. Once this idea of keeping identities separate met cultures unfamiliar with Eradosi ways, it was only a matter of time before the public image of Raioté became that of secret do-gooders that had to keep their identities secret for some other reason, most commonly ascribed to hiding from villainous sorts that Raioté foiled. The organization was viewed less as charity and humanitarian work and more as a bastion of good that fought to uphold order -- all because as time went on, more and more people became convinced there had to be a practical and pragmatic reason for the "secrecy" surrounding Raioté.
As a result of this image, more attracted to this line of work sought employment in Raioté, and the organization, in time, formally accepted these "vigilantes" as part of a new branch in the organization. After all, they had always been of the mind that whatever work someone wanted to do, so long as it did good, it should be part of Raioté.
