Outside of the lines of race or civilization, there are a few groups of beings working towards their own goals. Such organizations must be vast and powerful merely to exist across the vast distances between different systems of spheres. Because of this, and because their goals are rarely compatible, few of these organizations are on good terms with any of the others. This is one, of many, reasons they tend to be secretive about their existence.

The Society of Doors is probably the single biggest organization in the universe. Their primary goal seems to be to locate and exploit portals. A portal between two, otherwise unreachable cities can be worth a lot of money in the trade of rare goods. Therefore, the key to such a portal, or even just the knowledge that such a portal exists, is also worth a lot of money.

The Society does not go out of its way to recruit new members. Instead, it's likely to offer membership to people whose existing talents and resources would further the cause of the Society as a whole. Merchants that have hidden means of off-world travel, adventurers that explore the other sides of mysterious portals and any number of other characters that have something to offer are all potential new recruits. The normal routine is to offer the recruit a mission of sorts without revealing anything about the Society. If they complete the mission to the recruiter's satisfaction, they are usually offered full membership. Of course, things may get tricky if the recruit rejects the offer.

=== The Whisperers to the Darkness ===
 
Though not the name they'd give themselves, if they game themselves and name at all, the Whisperers to the Darkness are a vast cult, spanning many planets. Despite being the most secretive of organizations, they also have a tendency to lose many members to madness (among other things). In fact, most of what little is know of them comes from piecing together the accounts of madmen. To most people, this would already put the notion that they exist into question. They do exist though.
