The Kalredian Arcanum Sanctum
The Sanctum is one of the major powers within The Kalredian Empire as it is one of the leading players in Arcana knowledge, Scientific Research and Technological development. They hold their own governing branch within the empire and the head of the sanctum acts as a direct advisor to the emperor.
As they are technicaly older then the empire itself, they grew with the empire and branched of in many ways.
They are responsible for many of the advances made in terms of The Arcana, War Machines, Bioweapons, Communications.
Structure
The Kalredian Arcanum Sanctum is a large organisation spanning the entirety of Kalred. Over the centuries they have branched off into many entities.
Arcanum Sanctum College
Located in Quartz and where the head of the college resides. The college is where those that show good profiency with the arcana are sent wether this is mastered through dedicated learning or a natural ability. Here is where they master their art. This is not just a place of learning of the students however, wether knowingly or not, the students are often used a test subjects in Arcana and Psychological studies.
Slave Population Control
Founded in 50 ImpE in Byurick and originaly named the Tabaxi Population Control, they were responsible for ensuring the tabaxi population remains under control. They held all male tabaxi captive and oversee the impregnation process from start to finish. Female tabaxi were raised within the facilities of byurick untill they were old enough to serve as proper slaves. Male tabaxi were put in cages, should more be born then their projected numbers allowed, the cub will be disposed off.
After the fall of byurick in 319 ImpE, the organisation was relocated to Quartz and has resumed operation, but gained rights to oversee all slaves.
Lucea Research & Development
Founded in 208 ImpE in Dyorite with the discovery of the ruins buried beneath it, what used to be just mines for resources, became a well of knowledge. they are responsible for the development of War machines, Communications and BioWeapons. They have several properties within Dyorite but their largest is the Lucea Research Facility.
Sanctum Trade Institution
Founded in 8 ImpE in Chaldor Port and, allthough it did not become it's own branch until after it's expansion into Cliff Harbor in 50 ImpE. Here they became responsible for Trade Regulations and the fleet of the empire. They also are responsibly for processing and distributing captured slaves. They have offices in every city of the Kalredian Empire.
After the fall of Cliff harbor they shrunk in size but remained operation within chaldor port.
Sanctum Religious Institute
Founded in 60 ImpE when Kuarc and Qurant peacefully joined the Kalredian Empire. Concerned with the slaves their worship of outside deities, the institute became responsible for regulating which believes would be allowed within the empire and ensuring these believes are followed. anyone preaching about forbidden deities will be arrested and punished, any depiction's or expressions of forbidden deities will be removed and should a place of worship to a forbidden deity be found it will be destroyed. Their influence is ever present in Kuarc, but they have bases in every city to ensure their goals can be achieved. They also work together with the Imperial Gaurd in every city.
Sanctum Foreign Affairs
Founded in 60 ImpE in Qurant. What started as an attempt at diplomacy with their neighbouring nations, it eventually became a means of political warfare. Allthough it still is disguised as an institute of diplomacy, their agents truly operate as spies trying to disrupt the balance of peace between the other nations. Furthermore, it operates as a tool to spread Empire Propoganda.
Culture
Even though it is a huge organisation, it's members on all levels are supportive of the sanctum and believe in it's goals.
Members tend to enjoy many benefits, This comes in the form of a good pay, healthcare aid, gifted slaves. The higher your status, the more benefits you'll receive. This keeps their members loyal and willingly ignorant to the many moreally questionable things the sanctum has done.
Being a member on many levels can also be dangerous, even sometimes lethal. The STI regularly deals with attacks on their ships and sometimes even their harbors from the souther islands, the RSI can face religious zealots willing to kill and die for their believes, the TPC can be attacked by Tabaxi who have mentally snapped. therefore loyalty is important.
They achieve this not only with the benefits to their members but through means of propoganda and they also influence many aspects of the daily lives of the citizens of the empire, having an overall favorable image.
The Sanctum is overal very supportive of the empire and the leading emperor. And The Sanctum's agenda almost runs in line with that of the Kalredian Empire, where it can differ is the moral boundaries it is willing to bend in progressing the empire on terms of Arcana and Science.
Public Agenda
The Sanctum's message is that one of progression and prosperity for the Empire and it's citizens. and this is overall believed within the cities of the empire.
The Sanctum has brought many day of life improvements for the citizens of the empire and has greatly improved the living standard of the orc and leonin population.
History
Founding
Upon the aftermath of destruction of the "vecnetian tribe" and the mysteries the remaining arcane artifacts held, the archmages of the "pridemane" tribe and "the obdsidian fist" decided in agreement that a college dedicated to studying the mysteries of the arcane should be founded.
3 items remained after having slain the tribeleader of the vecnetian tribe, an Eye, a hand and a book. The 3 items were sealed deep within the dungeons of the college.
Originally named the Quartz Arcanum Sanctum when the empire was founded within the 8th year of the calender, the college would gain it's own governing branch within the empire and the head of the college would act as a direct advisor to the emperor. Here it would gain it's current name.
During this time it would have a heavy focus on studying their History, the Arcana and Magical Artifacts. Aqcuiring lots of knowledge regarding these subjects. Furthermore, they would regulate trade from their first branch in Chaldor port controlling the import and export of goods and humanoids.
Growth
After the Kalredian Empire conqoured the northern wastelands, the Sanctum took this opportunity to grow with it. It set up new independent branches that would take control over various important aspects of the Kalredian Empire, creating an almost symbiotic relationship between the sanctum and the empire. These new branches would control trade and the handling of slaves. The study of the Arcana and magical artifacts would strictly remain within the college itself and still remains there.
Once The southern wasteland would join the Empire, The sanctum again took use of this oppurtonity. Here it would gain control over regulating religion within the empire, this was a very important achievement as it now could lawfully arrest non-slave citizens of the empire suspected of worship of forbidden deity's. whereas it previously was dependant on the Imperial guards or city guards in order to detain non-slave citizens. Furthermore it set up what would become it's spy agency, turning itself into an even greater asset for the empire.
