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.

The Story

Niman Agerson

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.

Ministry of Imports

Part of the Ministry of Trade, the Ministry of Imports serves as a cornerstone in the economic infrastructure of the Empire, tasked with overseeing and regulating all goods entering the empire. Its mandate encompasses a broad spectrum of responsibilities, from enforcing trade policies and tariffs to ensuring the compliance of imported goods with safety and quality standards. The Ministry plays a critical role in facilitating trade agreements, working closely with foreign entities to secure favorable terms that bolster the Empire's economic prosperity.

Barnabus er'Ceasian

Barnabus is the older of the two potential heirs, the other being his brother Tobias.  However, as neither is the direct descendant of Emperor Hadrianus (their father was the emperor's brother Aleron), both have an equal claim to the throne.

Imperial Watch
Imperial Watch The Imperial Watch serve as a police force for the entire city, with a little help from the Vigilants. It's well known that there is corruption within the ranks of the Watch, and their presence is obviously more predominantly in the higher class neighborhoods and places of high economic activity.  It's unclear if it's harder for the Watch to keep order in the more crime-ridden neighborhoods, or if they simply don't care.

Some locals refer to them as "silvertops" for the helms they wear.
