The Order of Order
The Order of Order consists of The Eight, a group of elite individuals who control the Empire of Flames behind the scenes. Each member has a different set of skills they bring to the order, and they all fill a different role in achieving the Empire's goals. Their roles vary from being very broad (such as managing the Empire's military) to being very specialised (such as being responsible for making magical items and arcane infrastructure).
Structure
Unlike most of the government structures in the Empire of Flames, there is no form of internal hierarchy within the Order of Order, as all members are considered equal to each other. Their position within the rest of the government is located directly below the Dark Empress Salvatrice herself, and above the rest of the empire. Due to their incredibly high status of the position of the organisation, they have drastically high responsibilities, as the talents of it's members are of major use to the empire.
Culture
Each of the Eight come from widely different cultures and backgrounds, however there are a number of cultural ideals they all collectively value: power, respect, luxury, and control.
Assets
One of the most frightening aspects of the Order of Order is the sheer quantity and quality of means at their disposal. The Eight are able to requisition practically limitless amounts of needed assets to further their own goals and the goals of the Empire of Flames. Each of the Eight are able to use resources from their own projects, as well as ask for the resources of the projects of other members. Furthermore, they can request unique assets from Salvatrice, if she allows them to. The individual assets include:
- Oni the Red: Large amounts of Orc, Giant, and Human mercenary forces, high-quality weapons, armour, and war equipment
- Naomi Locks: Professional spy equipment, elite Changeling spies
- Charlie Iscariot: International allies, wealthy connections
- ???: Foresight, arcane infrastructure
- Midna Diamhere(?): Elite specialist individuals, occult rites and rituals
- Oni the Red: Management of the Empire's militia; control of large amounts of Orc, Giant, and Human mercenary forces; high quality weapons, armour and seige equipment.
- Midna (?): Mangement of elite military forces; specialist task forces such as extraction, demolition, or personal secuity teams; specialist weapons and equipment; capabilities for arcane enhancements for military groups, such as vampirism or lycanthropy.
- Naomi Locks: Management of spy division and espionage forces; recruitment of Changeling spies; access to powerful equipment for espionage; network of inflitrated spies and double agents.
- Charlotte Iscariot: Management of information and political influence; ownership of titles, land, and power in foreign territories; management of large-scale data gathering; individuals infiltrated in powerful governement positions and noble households.
