The Commission for the Research of Offshore Worlds, affectionately called Crows or simply the Commission, was founded by Glimback Toestubber in 899 PO. Originally known as the Explorer’s Guild, Crows secured government funding in 923 PO when approached by Ardeat Sol Orbis to begin prospecting new earthmotes for colonisation. Though in the employ of the government, Crows continues to work independently, conducting research into the Miasma and the curious beasts that reside within. They operate out of Crowswood Place on Fundus.
Order of the Lantern
The Order of the Lantern is a clandestine organisation of Blood Hunters who undergo a ritual that allows them to safely navigate and research the Miasma.
