A drug cartel

Pick a geographic location, then name the cartel after it then. Make up a location if you have to.

It all comes down to their specialty, right?

If they're moving product, you've got The Black Orchard (the growers) or The Phantom Crucible (the mad scientists). If it's a white-collar price cartel just chasing dollar signs, you want something like The Thorned Veil for that elegant, deceptive front, or The Broken Halo Network for a gritty, fallen-from-grace feel.

But if they're a territorial cartel? The kind where crossing a border gets you killed? Go with The Crimson Ledger—where every debt is settled in blood. Or The Ashen Wolves, because they will straight-up burn down your business if you trespass

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.

Either something completely unassuming like Pizza Party, or paramilitary sounding like Carbon Mesa

Use the name of (or part of) a building based on religion and go with it (The Chapel, Ziggurath, Transept, Ancestor Shrine, etc)
