The Vortician Society of Scholars and Artisans Founded in the 8th of the Deep Cold, Year 69 of the Second Age Who We Are: The Vortician Society of Scholars and Artisans (VSSA) is an independently operated organization based in The Unified Domain of Vortice which strives to maintain the forward motion and prolonged growth of the city by promoting scholarship and artisanship and through the support of artisans throughout Almaris and preservation of the history of Talon’s Grotto, Talon’s Port, and Vortice. What We Do: There are two driving purposes behind the Vortician Society of Scholars and Artisans, each of which are core essentials of the organization. Artisanship: The VSSA constantly strives to promote artisanship within Vortice, and build a community of artists, craftsmen, and performers. With an overarching goal of turning the city into a hub for the arts, the organization is always seeking to provide events for artisans to showcase their works, and offer opportunities within the community for them to be recognized and rewarded for choosing to pursue their craft within Vortice. Scholarship: The VSSA constantly seeks to improve the understanding of Talon’s Grotto, Talon’s Port, and the greater world around us, focusing most heavily on the research of topics which are known to have little documentation such as lesser-known settlements, people, and places while building community involvement with the scholars of Vortice through offering scholarships and research grants. What You Get: Upon joining the Vortician Society of Scholars and Artisans, members are the first to know of organizational events, and are offered exclusive opportunities for scholarships or grants to work on research or a craft. Scholarships and grants will be announced, and selected based on the requirements for any specific grant. Joining the Society: Anyone is welcome to join the society, regardless of whether or not they are citizens of Vortice. No application must be made to join the society, but anyone in good, legal standing with Vortice is welcome to show up to the Society Headquarters at 3 Cordius Way, The Unifed Domain of Vortice. Signed, Viction Trito, Grandmaster of the Vortician Society of Scholars and Artisans.

The Northern Geographical Society The Great Crest of the Northern Geographical Society Est. 1762 ✵ Historical Background & Overview ✵ Founded by Celestine Herbert in 1762, the Northern Geographical Society (NGS) considers itself to be a highly prestigious, international scholastic organization made up of anthropologists, historians, naturalists, cartographers, and other varieties of scholars and adventurers. We are dedicated to the preservation and diffusement of historical, natural, and cultural knowledge through the upkeep of museums across the continent of Almaris and the undertaking of expeditions to expand the horizons. In order to do this, we maintain a chain of museums across the continent with the goal of eventually establishing one in every major Almarisian country. The institutions we maintain serve to educate the public on a variety of different topics in the fields of culture, history, and naturalism across the land. The operations of the NGS transcend state borders, and our Society takes great pride in the academic, ethnic, and cultural diversity of our membership. Our museums are all operated by professionals with impeccable credentials in their areas of expertise, and we take great pride in both our independence as an organization and in our reputation as an unbiased academic society of the utmost integrity. We often go on expeditions in order to expand our horizons and push new frontiers as well as administer these higher institutions of learning, and thus consider ourselves to be adventurers as well as scholars alike. ✵ Leadership of the NGS ✵ Celestine E.

The NGS Museum of Hanseti-Ruska ~ Karosgrad, Haense ~ The NGS Imperial Museum ~ New Providence, Oren ~ ✵ Joining the Northern Geographical Society ✵ ~+~ A Meeting of the Society’s Circle in Arcas, c. 1770 ~+~ Joining the Society's Circle The Society’s Circle is a brotherhood of equal peers, representative in nature of the three divisions of the NGS. It serves as the governing board of the organization, voting and deliberating on administrative matters, affirming the nomination of new Circle members, and proposing expeditions and programs to undertake for the betterment of the NGS and of Almaris. Every member of it has proven their dedication and loyalty to the values of the Northern Geographical Society in some way, shape, or form. They are all acclaimed in their own right as both adventurers and as academics, although some might be more focused in one area than another. In order to gain admission to the Society’s Circle, you must prove yourself worthy enough to receive a nomination from the President. This can be done either through noteworthy achievements done outside of the NGS, or through several years of service as a member of one of the Society’s divisions. Joining a Division While we take great pride in our status as an academic organization characterized by impartiality and integrity, the Northern Geographical Society also considers itself to be a tightly knit family. We care very greatly for the members of our Society, and we as explorers, academics, and adventurers pull work together to pull our resources so that the mission and vision of the NGS might be realized. There are a number of different ways of getting involved with the Northern Geographical Society, easily suiting whatever amount of time and effort a person wishes to dedicate to our organization. From volunteer tour guides to world esteemed scientists, academics, and mages, we at the NGS value the diffusion and preservation of knowledge in an unbiased and impartial manner that benefits all the Descendant civilizations of Almaris. The easiest way of joining the Society’s Circle is to approach the executive leadership, namely the President of the NGS, about becoming a member of one of the Society’s three divisions. They may choose to render their services in the fields of Research, Exploration, or Personal Relations in whatever manner they see fit. ~ NGS Research Division ~ ~ NGS Exploration Corps ~ ~ NGS Personal Relations ~ To Join one of these divisions of the NGS, please pen a letter to the Office of the President expressing your interest in such..
