    What do I use for this? What I have in mind is Transmigrators Association since they were summoned from another world. Is this fitting? Or should I change it to Reincarnators Association? Many thanks.

    Transmigration is more like governmental or NGO attempts to move people from a crowded region to another less populated region.

    Reincarnation is more about putting souls in new fleshy bodies.

    I also propose Metempsychosis and Metempsychoser(?) as an alternative
