The Red Orchid Society (officially the Most Honourable Red Orchid Society) was a humanitarian organization in Free Elwynn. Modelled after Babkha's Red Lion and Sun Society, it was chartered in 1623 by Steward Hallbjörn Haraldsson of Elwynn. According to its charter, the aims of the Society were to "aid to the sick and wounded, irrespective of nationality, as well as the rendering of assistance in the case of any great public disaster or calamity" and to act for the "improvement of health the prevention of disease and the mitigation of suffering".

The Red Orchid Society was headquartered in Eliria, with local branches in most bailiwicks. It ran several hospitals and emergency services around the country, especially in rural parts of Elwynn. The Society accredited medical and nursing degrees within the People's Academy of Elwynn system.

Reconstituted in Wolfraven following the destruction of loyalist and rebel branches of the previous Red Orchid Society during the Scouring in the last months of the Second Elwynnese Civil War, with the nationalist-humanists in continental Elwynn forming a separate branch.

It was subsequently reabsorbed into the true Red Orchid Society in the year 1705.
