Order of the Grecodar
The Order uses magic with The Grecodar's seal of approval; however, magic can only be used if it can be hidden by the appearance of new technologies. In Western Orie Country, no one else is allowed to use magic. It's technically illegal in Eastern Orie Country as well, however, it's not enforced after the release of Cordella Grove.
Qualifications
If someone in society desires to join the Order, they must find a member and discreetly request membership. Even before positions become available, this person is watched, sometimes for years, to determine whether or not the order may trust them. Because the Order's personal agenda does not align with its public agenda, many people are passed along to the Shaca Elite Force or other organizations in Shaca or Asmain. Oftentimes, the people who are called upon to join the Order come from science backgrounds. Once a person has been sufficiently vetted and a spot in the Order opens up, they'll meet with one of the 5 leaders or, in rare cases, The Grecodar.Requirements
Typically, members are adults with a desire for power, secrets, and connections. While ancestry doesn't hurt a person's chances of joining the Order, it doesn't help as much as one might think. With the organization maintaining secrecy, families aren't usually aware of a parent or spouse's participation. The most information they'll share is when they have to travel, but not the who, what, where, or why.Source of Authority
The Grecodar authorizes the Order to act against magic however they see fit. As long as it doesn't go against Craei Grecofoxas's writing.Structure
The organization follows The Grecodar. Additionally, there is one branch leader for every 10 members in the Order. These leaders may change over time despite lifetime membership. There have yet to be more than 50 members at any given point in time.
