The Paris Opera House was built many years ago and was a very successful theater on Booga, located in the Desolate Lands not too far from the Crescent Hunter Guild, eventually closing down thanks to a lack of upkeep on the place and a mysterious phantom scaring off most of the producers and customers. After time passed a Solarian hero vanquished the phantom and took up his mask, while covertly establishing an organization within the hidden chambers of the opera house, the Meeting of the Dark.
The Meeting of the Dark was created as a small council of dark empowered heroes willing to take the blame of things and take on missions to preserve the name of heroes, making sure there would always be hope. Though their methods and personal have changed, the mission remains the same.
The Meeting is separated into multiple ranks akin to a ladder. The highest rung is the Leader. They are the final authority on all Meeting business, and act as a director of sorts. The second highest is the Co-Leader. They act as the leader when the above is missing, and are the leader's right hand man. The primary rung is the Operatives, who form the actual core of the Meeting. They are the ones who preform the majority of the Meeting's actions, and vote to appoint the leader. Below the Operatives are the field agents, who report to the Meeting what they see and hear regarding any targets the Meeting might wish to eliminate. The second lowest rung is the Mercenary Captain, who lead groups of mercenaries into battle. The lowest is the hired soldiers of the mercenaries, who serve as brute force and strike team soldiers intended to aid Operatives.
Joining the Meeting involves either presenting an invitation to a mercenary of the Meeting, or asking to join from one. From there the Operatives discuss the new recruit. Operatives are the only thing in demand, for the field agents and mercs are easily bought. The Meeting is always ready to outsource if the needs arises.
The public area is the entrance, the ticket and concession lounge, the main theater seating, and to those willing to pay all but box 8 for private seating. Mercs guard the entrance to both the building and the private boxes as mostly excuses to get paid.
The off public back stage area is where both preparation for the play is held, and various Meeting business. Medical bays, training rooms, shooting yards, and sleeping quarters for the mercs are here. Coffers of money, discarded weapons, magical artifacts, and other spoils of victory are held in storage rooms here. All well guarded mind you.
Underneath the Opera House is a massive chasm with it's own small lake, which possesses an island that serves as the Meeting's true headquarters, only accessible by dark aligned powers calling forth a boat. On the island is a house full of rooms for the operative so, including places to sort current investigations and planned actions, quarters to house members needing to lay low and protected for a while. The main room has a computer that stores all Meeting data ever obtained, and thus is kept under tight lock and key. While traditionally a Meeting is a small council which keeps no records, this one does for knowing a threat on Booga will inevitable resurface.

Current Investigations:
The Solarian- After the defeat of the Reliquary of the Damned inside the Opera House, Meeting members received a vision of a robed burning figure, identified as a Solarian. Next step, bringing in Withereds, descendants of Solarians, for questioning.
The Necromancer- A powerful Mage and undead servant are wandering the lands, causing trouble and sometimes wreaking havok. Primary suspect is Jacen Petronov, next step is tag and bag.
