The Brotherhood of Enlightenment is a secret society based in Zitasso. The organization was formed in 1822 by several high ranking members of Zitassan society after the Zitassan declaration of independence. Among it's founding members were Enricho Bianci, Delmo Genovese, Nicola Giordano, and Walter Trevisan, all founding fathers of Zitasso.

The organization continued going on after the end of the Zitassan Revolution, and has been subject to several conspiracy theories due to it's intense secrecy, with members not allowed to speak on the societies practices.

Members are known as brothers, and while the exact members are unknown several important individuals have been rumored to have been in the organization at some point in time. The society in it's little direct messages to the outside world have claimed to be little different from a country club for elite individuals in society to mingle and work to further society but this has not swayed many conspiracy theorists who believe the Brotherhood has much greater control over society than it seems.

History

The organization was formed in 1822 after Zitasso declared independence from Avergnon, several important figures in Zitassan society met in Viaca several times over the course of the war to coordinate the Zitassan war effort. After the end of the war the Brotherhood continued on, with high ranking members of society, including politicians, scientists, artists, etc. meeting at their resort in Viaca.

Initially only Catholic men were allowed to join but the Brotherhood began admitting non-Catholics in the early 1900s and women in the 1980s.
