The League of Intrigue was a secret society formed in the late 18th century by a group of French aristocrats. The members of the League were known as a CABAL, which is defined as a small group of people who work together in secret to achieve a common goal. The League's goal was to overthrow the monarchy and establish a republic in France. The League was ultimately unsuccessful, but its legacy lives on in the term 'CABAL' which is still used today to refer to a secret group of people working together for a common purpose.
