Use the name of (or part of) a building based on religion and go with it (The Chapel, Ziggurath, Transept, Ancestor Shrine, etc)

"The Firm," if you want a corporate sound, or to emphasize their illegitimacy with an ironically legitimate-sounding and euphemistic name.

"The Home Owner's Association," for glib sarcasm and irreverence. Like, "did you pay your HOA dues" but it's a protection racket.

Lol I like it

Either something completely unassuming like Pizza Party, or paramilitary sounding like Carbon Mesa

A cartel of what? What are they a cartel of?

Pick a geographic location, then name the cartel after it then. Make up a location if you have to.

Gotcha gotcha

[โ€“] RegularJoe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I guess it depends on the cartel's focus. Are they a drug cartel?

  • The Black Orchard โ€” growers, & brewers.

  • The Phantom Crucible โ€” they use experimental chemistry to make their product.

A price cartel (where they fix prices)? They would be focused on money.

  • The Thorned Veil โ€” a cartel that hides behind beauty, elegance, and deception.

  • The Broken Halo Network โ€” fallen idealists turned organized criminals.

A territorial cartel (where they have regions)? If you do "business" in another region, it might be your last "transaction".

  • The Crimson Ledger โ€” every wrong and debt is written in blood.

  • The Ashen Wolves โ€” enforcers who leave nothing but ashes of trespassers (or their buildings if they set up shop in the wrong place).

You can use em dashes yourself โ€” just find out how, use a few big words, and bedazzle your readers!
