Tamriel's history has at times supposedly been guided by various secret societies and secretive factions, influencing events and wielding untold power, in every sense of the word. I was wondering if there are any noteworthy examples of such groups that i might not have heard about. There are the Marukhati Selectives of course, which supposedly still exist in some form or another, possibly being the real power behind the Elder Council, or even involving themselves in the Underking's court, Tharnatos or the Red-Dome Templars. Then there are groups like the Psijic Order of Artaeum and the famous Clan Direnni of Balfiera, which supposedly still holds much influence in the Iliac Bay, as well as being the keepers of the Direnni Tower.
