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 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.

Semeko works in Renatus Hall as a night shift custodian.

He said he was the one who discovered Niman Agerson's body, lying in the middle of the arcane circle in the workshop, on the 32nd of Mais. Semeko said that unlike the other students and faculty, Niman talked to him and exchanged pleasantries.

Warden Fario Tanikus did not interview Semeko about Niman's death.

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. Within its purview also lies the crucial task of monitoring and managing the importation of strategic resources, such as the highly coveted Arcstones, ensuring these vital materials are allocated efficiently and responsibly to serve the Empire's interests.

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.
