Youngest of all the Crown Guards organizations, having been founded in 1712, they were made by degree of all 5 crowns to help manage the increasing civil unrest and help stabilize the outer regions. To find and destroy separatist cells and root out non-approved cults.
The Oculai is by far the largest of all the Crown Guard organizations, having multiple agents planted all over the League to monitor various governing bodies and double agents planted with minor and major organizations to find any who may harbor separatist inclinations.
Often criticized by the other orders, for the fact that they often employ rogue wizards and actual separatist movements to find other such groups in the process of funding them in order to catch as many as possible. Many consider it dubious at best and treacherous at worst. But to many more in the Central states, they are seen as a necessary evil.
The DSI holds great power and its quick formation quickly let less savory elements into its midst, though still true to their goal, it would be a lie to say that do not utilise their influence amongst the hearthlands nobles and other influential people for more funding both public and private. This has often lead to kings building their own cadre of loyal followers in the DSI to take matters that require absolute discretion or should not be interceded by their equals.
