Exoteric Order of New Sciences

Founded by a small faction of scientists and occultists, this insidious cohort believes in the very public incorporation of science with magick. While EONS works in the shadows, they own and operate numerous public-facing companies that experiment with the use of magick in their products and processes.

Notable Figures

• Elvira Dryden (she/her): The elder and more business-minded of the twins that founded EONS.
• Edric Dryden (he/they): Elvira's twin brother, who rarely leaves their laboratory. He is the engine that brings Elvira's dark ideas to life.
• Violet Boucher (she/her): A brilliant scientist who recently joined EONS, Violet is eager to prove herself through extreme means.

Public Agenda

Values

The first true occult power of this century, EONS adheres to a daring set of tenets: the old societies have failed mankind, and it's time for bold action. EONS recruits some of the most brilliant minds of The Fairelands, and they have a particularly strong presence at Briarbank College in Newfaire. Their opportunistic viewpoints and unethical behaviors have resulted in a rivalry between EONS and Candela Obscura.

Style

Laboratories with beakers and brass, industrial spaces, upscale businesses, dense files, hastily scrawled notes, dangerous experimentation, alchemical symbology, electricity.

Assets

The expansive methods and resources of EONS enable a wide variety of metascientific research and experimentation. They devote incredible time and resources to the exploitation of arcane inventions. EONS is the power behind a number of dangerous companies, weapons, and even bioengineered monstrosities.

• The Devil's Well: Located under the Glass Sea, this was an attempt by EONS to create a vault styled after the Fourth Pharos.
• Galvanica Engineering Works: Located in The Steel, this laboratory is the home to many EONS's top minds and their experimental works.
• Adjuvant: An experimental antidote for bleed, or rather, an attempt to stop the "negative human reaction to the natural phenomena of bleed."
