The Archivists of Sphera
The Archivists of Sphera is a Suborganization from The Council of Peace. The organization's primary purpose is the operation of The Archive of Sphera and the preservation of knowledge around Sphera. The Archivists operate from the Archive in the City of Contrea and travel to all continents to collect original documents to save them from natural disasters and especially war.
Structure
It reports directly to the Culture Committee as a sub-organization of The Council of Peace. Leon Kyan is the current director and manages the work of the archivists and employees abroad and the security. He has subordinate managers to organize events, conferences, public work, and tourist guides.

History
After The Grand War, the newly formed Council of Peace worked on the way to preserve knowledge after the loss of many original documents during the Grand War. The Archive of Sphera was chosen as headquarters and storage for the archive. The host city's choice of City of Contrea caused controversy, especially from the elven community, who have suffered the most.
Critics also feared problems if cultural assets and original writings of the respective culture were "stolen" to "hoard" them centrally. Some still insist on this opinion today.

Hello NLib. I like the variety of things you list under the assets. I am wondering if you could provide a couple of examples; particularly, I would like to see examples of 'cultural items' and 'dangerous items' that are under the control of the archivists.
Good idea; I will expand the article at some point.
