Welcome to the Vigilants. You are one of the thousands of people living in the imperial capital of Sentra, the jewel of the Empire. 

For some of you, this is home—a comfortable and familiar place you've known your entire life.  For others, the city may only be a brief stop, perhaps one of many in your travels.  But regardless of how you came here, you share the same streets.

Depending on who you are—and where you live—Sentra can be a beautiful city of wonder and splendor. Yet that perfect city is only what many people see on the surface.  There are those that understand there is more to the city, that there are flaws in it that run deeper than what most will see.  There are those that know what lies beneath.

Niman was a student studying theoretical thaumaturgy at Pallida University. Originally from Seidland, he was granted a scholarship granted by one of the foundations of House Fournius. He has no family in the city.

He died from an acute case of Arcstone poisoning, which should not have been possible given his circumstances. An autopsy revealed that his internal anatomy was mirrored.

Elisandra

Elisandra is the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Spoiled by her father, she can be petty and demanding.  When Zarin didn't return her affection, she was surprised she did not get what she wanted.  She grew infuriated and takes every opportunity to bad mouth Zarin, inconveniencing and harassing him whenever possible.

Order of the Gorgon

The Order of the Gorgon is the leading Magewrights guild of the city. Their main guildhall is in the Everbright neighborhood. They have lately been working with merchants that are promoting the construction of Manufactories around Smelting Row. They plan to capitalize on the large-scale production of magical charms and trinkets.

Although the Order compares itself to Wizard Circles like the Assembly of the Most Learned and the Guild of Esoteric Starlight, the two organizations most certainly do not consider the Order to be anything like themselves.
