THE NORTHERN GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY The Great Crest of the Northern Geographical Society Est. 1762 ✵ FOREWORD ✵ ~+~ An Early Society Meeting Under President Herbert, c. 1772 ~+~ 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 Aevos 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 Aevosian 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 ✵ Elizabeth Brae 3rd President of the NGS (Art by @frankdh) The President The Vice President Museum Curators Division Chiefs The Celestial Trust Executive Leadership Museum Curators Division Leaders ✵ Our Museums ✵ The Northern Geographical Society takes great pride in the upkeep of our public educational institutions.

Our Future Museums ~ Coming Soon to Balian, Talar'Nor, and Others! ~ ✵ JOINING THE NORTHERN GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY ✵ ~+~ A Meeting of the Celestial Trust in Aevos, c. 1927 ~+~ 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 a wide variety of skill sets and employ them in the pursuit of our mission. The easiest way of joining the Celestial Trust 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 will then become initiates and may choose to render their services in the fields of Research, Exploration, or Diplomacy in whatever manner they see fit as they strive to be awarded full membership in the Society. ~ NGS Research Division ~ ~ NGS Exploration Corps ~ ~ NGS Diplomacy Division ~ To Join one of these divisions of the NGS, please pen a letter to the Office of the President at Celestial Square 1, Chambery, Commonwealth of the Petra expressing your interest in such.. [[Add AndrewTech101 on Discord, send Elizabeth Brae an IRP bird, or send an IRP Forum DM]] THE CELESTIAL TRUST The Celestial Trust 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 Trustees, and proposing expeditions and programs to undertake for the betterment of the NGS and of Aevos. 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 Celestial Trust, an individual must prove themselves worthy enough to receive a nomination from the President. This can be done either through noteworthy achievements done outside of the NGS or through multiple years of service as a member of one of the Society’s divisions.
