	Organisations are resistant to being altered, let alone dissolved, by a single well-placed member. But they may be easily altered, and even dissolved, by the coordinated efforts of well-placed members. An organisation is not created ''ex nihlo'' by a willful individual. Others must at least be persuaded of their interest in joining together in its creation and others may at most demand to describe its terms in return for joining in its creation. Persuasion and negotiation, plus some shared basis for these, are inescapable.		Organisations are resistant to being altered, let alone dissolved, by a single well-placed member. But they may be easily altered, and even dissolved, by the coordinated efforts of well-placed members. An organisation is not created ''ex nihlo'' by a willful individual. Others must at least be persuaded of their interest in joining together in its creation and others may at most demand to describe its terms in return for joining in its creation. Persuasion and negotiation, plus some shared basis for these, are inescapable.

	Examples of organisations include the [[The Lamplighters\|Lamplighters]] concerned with public safety in [[Mordent]], the [[The Veiled Palm\|Veiled Palm]] concerned with the good reputation of [[medium\|mediums]] everywhere, the [[Boritsi Trading Company]] concerned with the private profit of its owners, and [[Societe de Legerdemain‎\|La Société de Legerdemain]] concerned with magic feigned and unfeigned. Examples of [[Secret Society\|secret organisations]], more commonly named [[Secret ~~Societies~~\|secret societies]], include [[The Syndicate of Enlightened Citizens‎]] concerned with squelching the supernatural, [[The Fraternity of Shadows]] concerned with seizing hold of the reigns of reality, the [[Ba'al Verzi]] concerned with killing for profit, and the [[Kargatane]] concerned with immorality and the power to enjoy it.

	There is inevitably a degree of overlap between an organisation, a society, and an institution. The more an individual's participation appears voluntary and the less it appears natural the better the fit with an organisation. In [[Dementlieu]] the [[Noble Brotherhood of Assassins]] is first and foremost an [[organisation]]. Few would dare join it and none would publicly admit to doing so. Whereas the less an individual's participation appears voluntary and the more it appears natural the better the fit with an institution. In [[Barovia]] [[Balok]] is first and foremost an institution. Everyone speaks it and few can even imagine speaking anything else. As for an individual's participation in a society, it appears less voluntary and more natural than in an organisation and more voluntary and less natural than in an institution. For [[medium\|mediums]] worried about the good name of their profession, the [[Veiled Palm]] is first and foremost a [[society]]. It would be easy to be drawn into its work but it is a commitment that demands serious thought. The fact remains, however, that the distinctions are fine and in some cases are difficult. [[The Church of Ezra]] is an organisation (a regrettable one to the eye of the [[Lamordian]]), is a society (an indispensable one for a lonely [[Mordentish]] [[widow\|widower]]), and is an institution (the only one that counts for [[Bastion Teodorus Raines]]).
