Dust of Eden - Faction Reveal
Based out of Geneva, the Magisterium is the ruling authority of the Holy Church. In the Dæmon Plane they also have a stronghold in London, where Buckingham Palace would be found in the Modern Plane. Known by their opposition for their censorship of all information distributed throughout their world, any discoveries that may affect the Church must be run through and accepted by the Magisterium. It was the Holy Church, through the Magisterium, that deemed Dust as evidence of original human sin. For this reason they have been studying it with intense scrutiny while also denying the very truth of its existence.
Subfactions:
The Absolution Board: Although the true nature of this board is not known to the public, what is rumoured is that its members are thought to be absolved of all sin through regularly practised preemptive penance. Those within the Magisterium who are considered to be of high enough rank know the true purpose of this board and that they are responsible for the necessary evils that the Magisterium must commit. Ranging from the small sins which do not blemish the soul, to the execution of those found guilty of treason, those who work within its ranks operate with the belief that they will pass judgement when their time comes despite any crimes committed in the name of the Magisterium and the Authority.
The Consistorial Court of Discipline: Concerned with heresy and non-believers, their duty is to find those who would question and challenge the word of the Church and reform them. Established by the last Pope, John Calvin, they have been doing their duties for many years since. From the moment of establishment the Church had absolute power over all aspects of life and continue to do so to this day.
The General Oblation Board: A semi-private operation funded by Marisa Coulter, the principal purpose of the Board was to practise and perfect intercision, the separation children from their dæmons to prevent them from attracting Dust. They believe that what they are doing is reversing the very concept and innate folley of Original Sin. Although the stronghold of the program was destroyed at the Station, they still continue their work.
The Ordained: As is ordered in our world, but with the absence of a Pope, the hierarchy of the ordained in the Magisterium is as follows: Cardinal, Archbishop, Bishop, and Priest. As a holy order, the Magisterium places those who are ordained in the highest regards within its ranks. These people are seen to be equal in power in standing as politicians are in The Modern Plane. Although people of the Authority, or so they claim, it is important to remember these people may just as easily be corrupted by the power and position they hold, but just as well be kind and generous in the same stroke.
The Witch Integration Program: Tasked with the duty of assimilating Witches into Magisterium controlled life, this board heads the effort of ending the subversive nature of the Witches and their practices. Sometimes, if necessary, through several extreme measures its members promote a life outside of the clans Witches are often brought up in and show them that ordinary and reverent life can be achieve
