A secret Elw nationalist group, the Dark Orchid Society considers the indigenous Elwynnese to be the last uncorrupted bastion of Humanity on the continent of Benacia and are dedicated to the unification of Shireroth under the Banner of Kalir and also to the eradication of all non-human sentient life on the planet.

Symbol of the Dark Orchid Society

It was the Dark Orchid Society that approached Daniel Simrani-Kalirion with the proposal to participate in the Coup of 1604 and in the recruitment of Tokaray al-Osman, one of the last surviving members of the Osmanid Faction to lead the attack on the Bailiwick of Mariyechelân which caused the government of Steward Isurui to rapidly collapse.

Activities

The Dark Orchid Society is suspected of involvement in the poisoning of Noor Bint Simrani-Kalirion, the Queen of Goldshire and husband to the King of Elwynn, an episode that resulted in the miscarriage of their first child.

The Society has agents spread through out the human populations of Eastern Benacia, particularly in Alalehzamin and Utasia, Goldshire, Shirekeep and the Ancient Midlands, where it is believed to have forged links with the Brotherhood of Lest. Its strongest presence however is in the sparsely populated Vale of Angularis where its supporters work alongside brigands such as Sighvat the Yardistani.
