Dunkelzahn Institute for Magical Research
They have the money and knowledge of a dragon setting them up and an insatiable curiosity driving them forward. The only thing keeping them from unlocking the mysteries of the universe is that those mysteries are drekking hard. Established by Dunkelzahn’s will, DIMR covers every aspect of magical research you can think of, from education to field work to metaplanar exploration. They have an ongoing rivalry with the Atlantean Foundation, but that usually (but not always) shades more to the friendly side than the unfriendly one. Honestly, the board members fight with each other more than anyone outside the organization. The biggest obstacle the DIMR has faced in recent years is the fact that they are headquartered in Boston. Protecting their base became a major concern, as more than a few head cases became suddenly interested in delving into DIMR’s archives once they gained their new personalities. With the high amount of field operatives they have, the work kept going forward, but it was definitely hindered. With the quarantine lifted, they are working at return to fully normal status. Director Thomasin Martyn is well into her eighties but showing no sign of slowing down—it helps to have access to every anti-aging treatment money and magic can access. She stays in the position because she was seemingly born for it. She has the combination of theoretical knowledge, charismatic leadership, and administrative skill to keep the organization moving ahead, even when under siege by a hundred head cases. Of note are reports that she seems especially animated lately, as if she is working on something especially important.
