The Arcane Hammer
The Arcane Hammer is one of the strong arms of the Autumn Court, dedicated to dealing with threats outside the freehold, particularly the non-fae ones. Founded by Ziegfried Zapf, the orgainization maintains an extensive library for researching various occult beings, with particular emphasis on the God Machine and spirits of the Shadow. To be accepted or advance in standing, a member requires the approval of both Sorcerers or the Sorcerer of Autumn. Though considered part of the Autumn Court, other occultists may join, including mortals. Rising through the ranks typically requires some ideological harmony and trust that the dangerous knowledge will not be abused or shared recklessly.
