Odin's well

By the guidance of Odin and his ravens those who seek the truth and knowledge spend their lives training within the Well. Rather than physical building, the well is a collective term for the universal knowledge and philosophies upheld by those who follow Odin. Odins well is guided by a central belief that true strength is found in understanding the world around you. Despite their idealism, the pursuit of truth is hampered by the realities of life in the empire: politics, propaganda, and the dangers of the wilderness. The well is based in Dson Balsur but operates throughout Equilox and across the whole of Entradia. Temples to Odin under the management of the the well act as massive libraries called archives, usually located in larger cities and cultural centers. Its members come from all walks of life and are expected to assist in the maintenance, organization, and protection of the archives. Its satellite archives collect artifacts and research information both historical and contemporary.
Archivists act as administrators at each Archive, delineating tasks, overseeing the training of new members, and even negotiating for or purchasing artifacts and records — often from those unaware of their true value.

The wells are on this continent four diffrent wells spread trough out Equiox. The monks of the wells are the enlightened knowledge-seekers of their order. They research places where ancient knowledge could be hidden and lead large-scale expeditions to these places.
Expositors are the covert agents of the Odin's well. These enlightened infiltrators extract information that others would keep secret and use their newfound knowledge to better the world. As masters of acquisitions, expositors answer only their Raven At the top of each Archive is a Raven, who dictates the Archive’s goals to subordinates and uses this power to assign marks to expositors, outline allies and enemies to their archivists, and approve the expeditions proposed by monks.
The wells tries to remain autonomous.
There are four wells on the continent of Equilox: Royal Athenaeum, Crescent Observatory, Mimer's reflections
