Editing Running Sheet Elias "Eli" Blackthorn (section)

====Structure & Operations====
**Meetings take place in secret at locations of esoteric significance—abandoned monasteries, ancient ruins, underground catacombs, or lost temples. 
**The Lodge uses coded journals and encrypted correspondence to maintain contact while scattered across the world. 
**Conflicts frequently arise over ethical dilemmas, such as whether to share or suppress certain knowledge. 
**The Emerald Compass Lodge is more than an alliance—it is a battlefield of ideas, where Eli finds both allies and adversaries in his quest for knowledge.
