They manage the world's finances, determining which areas of government branches or civilian life needs how much funding at any given time. Based in Gulgrennjor.

History
In 1641, Paritet established its financial branch, with Kelren the Golden as the Manager of Finances2.
1165, officially.
Year 172, Kelren Gylden has passed away suddenly in his sleep. By popular vote, he is succeeded by Gnier, a wealthy lizardfolk merchant.
The Hvitstein Quarry Massacre in year 220 was mitigated, thanks to the massive savings accumulated by Gnier. Though the mining town established there was decimated, funds from the Operators was able to relocate survivors and set them up with stable living. Thus, Blackstein Quarry opened.3
Year 222, Gnier passed peacefully in his sleep. He is succeeded by Zelona Si'Dæng.
Year 273, Zelona is voted out of office and replaced by Oliver Tanas.
Vira's Generosity
2Kelren Gylden's rise to this position was hotly debated. Many argue that since he did nothing during the war that he is undeserving of such a high station. However, his foresight to ration spending and managing his local businesses proved he's well-versed in economical mechanisms.
3It's likely this could have been avoided preemptively if Gnier had expended more fund to the Enforcers.
[4]Si'Dæng dates back so far that I cannot find any record of this family name's origin.
