Order of the Archive
The Order of the Archive is a faction described by Talis as including the most powerful magic users in the Tymerian Empire. The Order operates several libraries, including the Scrollsearch Recerve in Ternosear, the Scribesoul Vault in Z'ar Ternosear, and several Caerulean Archives on the continent of Naghron. These libraries are offered a degree of governmental protection. Some members of the Archive are monks, while others are knowledge clerics of knowledge, bards, or fighters. Many folks are just standard researchers, caretakers, and historians.
Those not allied with the Order seem wary of their growing power. The Order and The Decendants are often at odds with each other. Those allied with the Order, such as Talis, claim that they keep the Crown in check and prevent abuses of power. Their members have allegedly promoted learning in the middle to lower classes in Merdun and Ternosear.
Some members of the Order, both of martial and arcane prowess, are involved in law enforcement of the Tymerian Empire, serving as investigators, interrogators and executioners. Order members are also involved in protecting the Empire against foreign invasions.
Structure
The High Curator of Z'ar Rilark and the High Curator of Arusad share dual and equal leadership over the entire structure of the Caerulean Archive.
Public Agenda
The Archive is dedicated to preserving history (including art, ancient tounges and music of old).
- Unmask those who would destroy knowledge. Learn their secrets and unveil them to the world.
- Uphold and teach the importance of reason, perception, and truth in guiding one’s emotions and path.
- Condemn those who lie, even among your allies, for evil folk gain power when their followers obscure the truth. Never stoop to the level of liars.
Assets
The Caerulean Reserve
A grand dome of blue, polished stone, the Caerulean Reserve is a well-fortified library in Ternosear that is organized, overseen, and guarded by an order of monks in worship to goddess of knowledge, prophecy, secrets strategy and skill. The Reserve's collection of knowledge is so vast that individuals travel from all over the world to study here. A monk is assigned to every person that seeks entry, both as a guide and as a security escort.
Many skills, many virtues.
