Magus Simulacra

The Magus Simulacra are an organisation off-shoot of the Magus Arcanum, their strongest mages and also their most ambitious (politically and in terms of hoarding knowledge). They seek to advise the Hands of the Jewelled and slowly through insurrection and undermining, establish themselves as a mageocracy and establish a dominance of their own.
The Magus Simulacra, as a result, have a kind of 'illuminati' vibe about them in alot of ways but are also too powerful and ingrained in societies to be seen as outright outcasts and enemies. They, instead, are seen as fantastic allies to have for knowledge and power and enjoy trading in secrets and artefacts with others around them... and silencing any who seek to out them through gossip or rumour or, even worse, the truth.
Their group don't have an official leader so to speak and so instead has led to a series of backstabbings throughout and their own goals to establish power and rise above their peers in both knowledge and influence.
If they were to be united under a strong leader then their influence could be incredibly dangerous.
They have a variety of notable members and allies, most interestingly for the party, Sooranail.

Structure

The structure is organised more like a microcosm in the group with various factions not getting along and forging alliances... making it very rough ground for new members of the Simulacra... think the lodge of Sorceresses from Witcher with their games and plots.

Public Agenda

To ensure the safety of knowledge and keeping dangerous knowledge out of the wrong hands... same mandate as the Magus Arcanum but far more extreme.

Assets

Influence and knowledge are their main assets whilst they also benefit from being a part of the Magus Arcanum.

Type

Secret, Brotherhood

Alternative Names

The Myths, The Masked Ones
