Mystarium
Veiled in shadow and secrets, the Mystarium serve as the House of Crow's wing of sorcery when it comes to both warfare and civil protection. An ancient order which have long stood as guardians of the Ravenwoods and a rival to the forces of the abyss.
Structure
The Mystarium is ruled by a combination of seven Corvex oracles, which are followed by the mystics and initiates of the order. The entire organization isn't that structured though but the oracles serve in a sense as both tutors, leaders and commanders while the mystics are the footsoldiers and the initiates are those who are still learning the arts of magic.
Public Agenda
The Mystarium exists as a defence against magical threats such as curses, illusions and problems that can't easily be solved by pressing the trigger of a gun. They are mainly studious over combatative even if they serve as the magical wing of the House of Crow's, as they instead relie on the Rabensturm Institute to deal with most threats around the Ravenwoods by using tools such as Stormpunk technology and Stormtech Weapons. The Mystarium rather works hand in hand with their agents to locate sources of corruption and also serve to heal wounds in the torn fabric of reality.
Assets
To further their research, the seven Corvex murders - murder in this case implicating a nesting family, similar to that of real crows - all serve to contribute to the Mystarium as one of their flock's greatest prides within the whole Imperium. This gives them access to no shortage of coin, members, wealth of knowledge and powerfull casters.
History
The Mystarium as an organization has existed since beyond the Dyskhari Imperium was a thing, as a unified mages council of the Beastkin races which roamed the central Commonlands of Equilibrium, or Arcathia. Their role has always been to closely guard secrets of magic, especially occultism, yet found their purpose wavering after several catastrophies and wars sought their kin ravaged and on the brink of extinction, from the Sylvhar elves rapid expansionism.
Though they loath to wage war on anything but primordeal evils, the Mystarium swayed the corvex murders to join the Dyskhari rebellions and aid them in creating their own territory. With their own unique Delusiomancy skills, they managed to help secure the Ravenwoods from Sylvhar vengance and also aided the Dyskhari slaves with waging a guerrila war on their hated foe.
Once the victory was assured, the corvex and in turn the Mystarium never left the alliance, instead becomming valued members of the Imperium and some of it's most prominent and skilled mystics and illusionists.
The veil hide many mysteries.
The Barrkadi Connection
The Mystarium plays an official role as a subgroup which has sworn themselves allegiance to the magic circle of Barrkad, simply known as the Barrkadi Circle. As they are known masters of illusion, it's long been believed that the oracles trade knowledge in the shadowy artforms of magic in return for knowledge within the mankind crafted magitech, such as alchemy. In some of the shadier circles though, some would say their connection goes deeper than sharing knowledge and that the Barrkadi and Corvex have a hidden agreement to hide some terrible mystral secrets. Ones that must not be allowed to meet the light of day.
