The Dragonhawk Initiative

The space exploration wing of Aundair, the Initiative was founded out of the Arcane Congress, their national magical research body. Formed with the intention of being an academic research organization, they aim for a deliberate separation from the politics of their state (with mixed success).
Pulling together the researchers of Arcanix, the practical wizardry of the Arcane Congress, the reality-bending power of their fey allies, and the particular involvement of House Orien, the Initiative aims to discover what secrets lay amongst the stars.

Public Agenda

Publicly, the Initiative aims to reach the void, the rings, and the moons in the name of research and discovery. Sponsored openly by the crown of Aundair, they also have been offered as a symbol of collaboration, another rebuke of Aundair's warmongering factions.
At present, their goal is to combine disparate magical traditions to break the boundaries of what is possible, and have recruited from Aundair's nobility, the feyspires, the school of Arcanix, the University of Wynarn, and researchers of House Orien and The Twelve to back this.
