Portal:Organizations

Organizations are groups of like-minded individuals. They band to pool their knowledge and resources together to achieve goals simple and complex. Many such groups populate this setting: The most powerful of these are spread across the globe, controlling enormous resources and counting hundreds of thousands of members. The smallest may only populate a single building or dungeon, with no more than a couple of followers.
== The Big Names ==
As per the Pareto principle, a handful of organizations wield incredible power through the world:
* The Divine Concord is the ruling religious authority through most of the civilized world. Established by the gods themselves after their self-imposed exile into the Outer Planes, the Divine Concord seeks to uphold their proper reverence and worship. The Concord is primarily composed of Clerics and Paladins, although some Barbarians, Fighters, and Wizards are members too.
* In the wilds, the Primeval Circle occupies a stronger role than the Divine Concord. Primarily composed of Druids and Rangers, many Clerics, Paladins, Barbarians, and even Fighters and Wizards champion the cause of nature against civilization.
* The Hermetic Society is a cadre of influential Artificers and Wizards who seek to study and discover the transmundane. In a neverending search for fulfillment, they champion intellectual advancement at any and all costs. Because of its deep involvement in the occult, the Hermetic Society is to be considered a clandestine organization, with secret membership and protocol.
