Bios Agency

Structure

The High Ord, while mostly handling the legal court of A'h Enfrys, also acts as the overarching administrator for the Agency. Each Agent acts mostly independently, discussing amongst themselves their actions and only relying on the High Ord's input for major decisions or when a decision cannot be reached. Agents are split into two equal ranks: the Nightbringers and the Sundancers. While the distinction is important, an Agent will avoid revealing their rank to appear impartial. In reality, a Nightbringer is an Agent that specialises in insurrection and moderate lawlessness; while a Sundancer is an Agent that specialises in law enforcement.

Culture

Bios Agents act aloof from the world around them. Most situations only call for one or two Agents, even the People's Revolt of Asyna Thalor in 840. Agents shave their entire body weekly to rid it of "impurities". For some, swearing the Agent's Oath magically makes their hair fall out, in addition to ridding their skin of any marks or blemishes.

Public Agenda

The Bios Agency seeks to enforce the Great Balance. The Balance between law and chaos; safety and freedom.

Assets

There are approximately 200 Bios Agents in operation, each of them flying their own Mountaintail Falcon. The Agency has an embassy in every settlement, ranging from large towers with stained-glass monuments to an inn purchased off the locals for Agency use. The Agency's headquarters is filled with gold and confiscated magical objects.

History

The Agency's exact origins are foggy, and their beliefs originate far earlier. It was only in 324 that the organisation was officially started. Throughout the centuries, the Agency has controlled and investigated any new infrastructure or organisation for corruption or lack thereof. It survived the many diseases and wars, even when Ardonnian and previously Dikallan invasion split the Agency between supporting the changing environment and defending their homeland. When the Agency began confiscating magical knowledge and artefacts, the Enfrysian government needed to step in. They first introduced a system where both the High Ord and the High Frei deliberated over the orders of the Agency. However, as the Agency was reigned in, it became obvious that as long as the High Ord kept them in check, the High Frei was not necessary in its administration.
