Vril
Vril: The Power of the Coming Race, originally published as The Coming Race, is a science and subterranean fiction novel by the British politician and writer Edward Bulwer-Lytton, published anonymously in 1871.
Some readers have believed the account of a superior subterranean master race and the energy-form called "Vril" to be, at least partially, true. Some theosophists, notably Helena Blavatsky, William Scott-Elliot, and Rudolf Steiner, accepted the book as based on occult truth. The 1960 book The Morning of the Magicians by Jacques Bergier and Louis Pauwels suggested that a secret Vril Society existed in Weimar Berlin.
The name "Vril" was apparently derived from the word virile.
