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

    • The Black Orchard — growers, & brewers.

    • The Phantom Crucible — they use experimental chemistry to make their product.

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

    • The Thorned Veil — a cartel that hides behind beauty, elegance, and deception.

    • The Broken Halo Network — 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 — every wrong and debt is written in blood.

    • The Ashen Wolves — 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 — just find out how, use a few big words, and bedazzle your readers!

          I used em dashes when SMS messages had 160 character limits to —really— put emphasis on words.

          I also use them in place of semicolons — I find it easier to read and doesn’t remind people of English class.

          It helps that I have been writing this way for a while. My MySpace had em dashes back when the smartest AI we had was IBM’s Watson.
