House of the Arcane

One of the few places outside of Brambleberry with a large creature-kin community is the House of the Arcane.

Specialising in augmentation and body modification - whether for healing, style or extended purpose, the House is one of the leading sources of these kinds of changes. Not all technology or technique that pass through the halls of the House are sourced from the House, though they have made a skill in becoming more well known and well trusted for their skills. Many an augmentation skill or technology have failed due to the lack of a House seal.

Within Levis, the House seal is a physical thing, a pressed dye that is marked upon the surface of the augments installed into those that take them, this is not as common as one might think in constructions outside the House, but with their outsider origins, the House does everything to maintain a cultural stranglehold on Levis' augmentation scene, and an absolute desire to maintain poise and refinement.

Based out of Solaris, the House centres around its Charonarch, diplomats and explorers. Everything channels towards this air of improving the populace, with the House gaining in respect and prestige for every successful surgery.

Structure

The house is led by a head couple, leading into a selection of trusted few.

There are about 12 Charonarch with 1 to 5 apprentices each, with the House in a constant attempt to bolster itself into something larger.

History

Notable members include a self styled "Baroness" Debroxia, a massive woman with a feline head and eight spider like eyes, whose reign was during the age of reformation, the Baroness notable for being the diplomat who acquired the House's first permanent residence.

Another notable resident was explorer Felicious Whitt. Felicious made several journeys east past Saburra, though the maps are House secrets and the technologies he found are still in developmental stages decades later.
