===[[Current Expedition Gear]]===

==Briefing Information==

'''First Expedition''': October 17, 2017

*The parts of the Dungeon explored up to this point in this area have appeared to be a natural system of caves.
*Various plant- and fungi-like life has been encountered, which to his point has defied classification, but no animal life. (The question of "Then why the machine guns?" may occur to you. Just a precaution, you are assured.)
*Low levels of light are provided by veins of some sort of luminescent crystal running through the walls. It does not appear to be radioactive.
*The area around First Landing is not well surveyed. Most efforts to this point have just been to get the base established and minimally secured.
*On its last survey DOG Beta ran into a small underground river. It is hypothesized that there might be other underground water. The water was potable, but contained unfamiliar mineral signatures.
*Three passageways radiate from the cavern where First Landing is located. Labeled (for convenience) East, West, and South. East appears to dead-end into the cavern wall. West and South have not been meaningfully surveyed beyond about 200m beyond First Landing.
*The purpose of this Expedition is to survey the South corridor.

==The AIGRC==

=='''Ascension Island Geological Research Center''' - public information==

Ascension Island is an isolated volcanic island in the equatorial waters of the South Atlantic Ocean, around 1,600 kilometres (1,000 mi) from the coast of Africa and 2,250 kilometres (1,400 mi) from the coast of Brazil, which is roughly midway between the horn of South America and Africa. It is governed as part of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. 

In 2014, the British Geological Survey and United States Geological Survey made a joint announcement of the grave fact that the island had become geologically unstable and was no longer safe for permanent habitation due to the re-activation of the island's central volcano. The island's 800-odd inhabitants were handsomely paid off for their real property and relocated. 

The two nations then established the Ascension Island Geological Research Center to monitor the unfolding geological situation on the island. It's regarded as a boon for geological research, though few publications have come from the research conducted on the island as yet. 

There is also a small NATO military presence on the island, presumably there to provide logistical assistance and to protect the GPS ground antenna (one of four in the world) on the island. 

===AIGRC Command Staff===

'''Operational Commander''': ''Oberst (Colonel) Hannah Ebert, German SKB (Joint Support Service)''. Colonel Ebert is a career logistical officer with the German military. Somewhat contrary to stereotype, she seems quite personable, though she is a spreadsheet-and-timetable driven commander and something of a martinet. She appears to be in her late '30s, athletic, and fairly tall.

'''Research Administrator''': C''ecil "Bond" Newcombe, Ph.D., MBA, MPA''. Dr. Newcombe is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the Topside Dungeon-related research occurring at Level Zero. While he does have a Ph.D. in Physics, he's more administrator than researcher at this point in his career. British; informally referred to as "Bond" because of his uncanny physical resemblance to George Lazenby.

'''Training Commandant''': ''Sgt. Maj. Lieu Van Tho, U.S. Army (ret.)'' is a short, slim Vietnamese man who looks to be in his late 60s or early 70s. An ebullient man who is nevertheless somewhat reticent to discuss his past or his Dungeon experience. He provides DOG Gamma with their pre-Expedition training related to Dungeon operations and briefing on Expedition protocol.

===AIGRC DOGs===

===AIGRC Other Staff===

===AIGRC Facility Information===

====Logistics Hub====

Located on one of the island's natural harbors, this facility has a fairly modern military-style port with a small airstrip.

====Potemkin====

This is the ostensible 'real'/public AIGRC. It is a small prefab research facility with laboratory facilities, bunks, and recreational services for the dozen or so geologists and staff on site. On the rare occasion where a visit by member of the media or government is allowed, this is the part of the island that they're allowed to visit.

====Level 0====

This is the Topside headquarters of the Deep Operations mission on the island. Above-ground, it consists of a small, one story communications building with a few disinterested-looking guards. The bulk of the facility is below ground. Facilities include:

* Living quarters for the DOGs and Topside staff
* Armorer facilities
* Scientific research facilities
* Offices for command staff
* Detention facilities
* The airlock leading in to the access point

====First Landing====

Currently, this FOB consists of little more than a ring of barbed wire and sandbags surrounding a small, prefabricated metal hut and a handful of tents. There are also: two tripod-mounted M2HB machine guns; a cache of personal weapons, ammunition, and miscellaneous supplies; a chemical latrine; and, communications equipment. Further expansion is underway.

==Other Important NPCs==

Like it says on the header

==Global Concern News==

Here is where I will post news stories from places other than AI. Some of them will just be color, some will be important plot leads.

==DOG Rumors==

Same idea, but scuttlebut instead of publicly-reported information.

===Sorec Simel, Brother of the Order of the Crimson Falcons===
''Played by Tarren''

Born in the metropolis of Sabrons and raised in a loose clan of Marked Sorec's talent for magic emerged fairly young. The Marked do not generally view magic positively as it is the source of the Mark and thus his family didn't encourage his interest. Even so, Sorec would hang out near the magic university and eventually gained the attention of some of the students and teachers, who would teach him minor tricks and spells. When he was old enough he attended the academy. Looked down upon by some because of being one of The Marked, Sorec always looked to prove himself and joined the Order of the Crimson Falcons just after graduating.

==Setting Details==

===Races===

The realms consist of human races, although many supernatural beings exist, including undead as well as descendants of failed sorcerous and alchemical experiments performed on humanity throughout the distant past.

*'''The Marked'''- Descendants of those magically marked as punishment by the Malcenes long ago. At first the Mark was just a magical tattoo that couldn't be removed, but as a result of both the magical fallout from the fall of the Malcene Empire and the passage of time the tattoo became hereditary and acquired new strange qualities. The style of the tattoo varies from person to person, but tends to run in families. Now the tattoos of The Marked tend to move on their own, change color, and react in strange ways. Despite not being any more inclined to crime than any other segment of the population, others view the Marked with suspicion.

===The Nations===

* '''Aventia:''' The original name of the nation before its politics and conquests swelled its borders to become the Aventine Empire.[http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?663774-Recruitment-Discussion-The-Heroic-GM-less-Any-System-Collaborative-Solo-play&p=16105132#post16105132]

* '''Aventine Empire:''' This is the massive and predominant civilization covering the continent of Anneira (now in decline), consisting of various petty kingdoms, states, and electorates. It's hereditary enemy is the Shadow Kingdoms.

* '''Shadow Kingdoms, The:''' A vast, horror-filled waste north of the Cassard Mountains. For hundreds (?) of years, this nation of dark rulers has been the nemesis of the Empire, attacking overtly in terrifying numbers and subtly through machinations to destabilize from within.

===Lands and Locales===

* '''Maritime Republics, The:''' Descendants of outlaws, the lands of Morien, Rennos, and Sanniel are named after the pirate lords who fathered its people. Traditionally, these island nations have been the most difficult to control for the Empire. The people of the Empire fear an incursion.[http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?663774-Recruitment-Discussion-The-Heroic-GM-less-Any-System-Collaborative-Solo-play&p=16101582#post16101582]

* '''Marontaine:''' ''The Holy Citadel'' is the center of the Magistratum, including the Holy Order of the Sacred Flame and the Inquisitors.[http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?663774-Recruitment-Discussion-The-Heroic-GM-less-Any-System-Collaborative-Solo-play&p=16105132#post16105132][http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?663774-Recruitment-Discussion-The-Heroic-GM-less-Any-System-Collaborative-Solo-play&p=16110465#post16110465]

* '''Turiens:''' The seat of the Empire's power, and residence of the Emperor.[http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?663774-Recruitment-Discussion-The-Heroic-GM-less-Any-System-Collaborative-Solo-play&p=16105132#post16105132]

* '''Wilderlands/Malcene Empire:''' Once the center of great Malcene Empire and long since falling into decay, the influence of this dead nation is still felt upon the land they once controlled. Magic, terrible horrors, and other secrets still lurk among its numerous ruins, threatening travelers and would-be treasure hunters. The Malcene survivors live among the people's of the Aventine Empire, some with bizarre powers.[http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?663774-Recruitment-Discussion-The-Heroic-GM-less-Any-System-Collaborative-Solo-play&p=16105132#post16105132]

===Factions/Organizations===

* '''Anti-Imperialists:''' Citizens of Aventi states growing increasingly resistant to authority, even becoming violent. None know who is fueling this campaign to divide the Empire.

* '''Black Brothers:''' The unpopular Inquisitors of the faith, the Brothers are lone agents of the Church of Solanthar, in the body of the Magistratum[http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?663774-Recruitment-Discussion-The-Heroic-GM-less-Any-System-Collaborative-Solo-play&p=16110465#post16110465], many acting with complete impunity save the 'Priory of of the Rose' (see below) [http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?663774-Recruitment-Discussion-The-Heroic-GM-less-Any-System-Collaborative-Solo-play&p=16103257#post16103257].

* '''Holy Order of the Sacred Flame:''' Based in Marontaine (The Holy Citadel), this organization is the military arm of the faith. They serve as the Templars, an important resistance against the Shadow Kingdoms and its ploys.

* '''Order of Crimson Falcons:''' A prestigious organization of mages sworn to the service of the Empire. The order is based in Sabrons.[http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?663774-Recruitment-Discussion-The-Heroic-GM-less-Any-System-Collaborative-Solo-play&p=16105132#post16105132]

* '''Priory of the Rose:''' The Priory, or "Redcaps", is a governing body of high-ranking clergymen, and currently at odds with the Inquisitors, creating a schism in the church, and thus limiting the Empire's power to react to the coming crises [http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?663774-Recruitment-Discussion-The-Heroic-GM-less-Any-System-Collaborative-Solo-play&p=16103257#post16103257].

===Religious Cults and Factions===

* '''Church of Izisius (Solantharism):''' Izisius is the formal Old Boruchian name for the Empire's solar deity. After Boruch was conquered in early history, the Aventines coopted their religion with Izisius repackaged as Solanthar, a sanitized and more politically palatable version of the original. Despite the translational corruption, Izisius as Solanthar retained his core portfolios of light, fire, strength, protection, and healing.
** '''Main Bodies:''' The Orthodoxy of Solantharism is led by an appointed Pontifex who also inherits the position of Archbishop of Turiens. Three religious bodies directly serve the Pontifex: the Magistratum, the Pastorate, and the Curia. The Magistratum enforces dogma while the Pastorate dispenses spiritual guidance to the general populace. The Curia draws members from both the Magistratum and the Pastorate and serves as a council of advisors to the Pontifex. All of the Church's Templars and Inquisitors come from the Magistratum. The Templars, led by a Grand Master, form the backbone of the Church's military. The Inquisitors, led by an Inquisitor General, are a smaller specialist group dedicated to rooting out heretical influences within the Empire. The Holy Citadel of Marontaine is the main headquarters and base of operations for the Magistratum.[http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?663774-Recruitment-Discussion-The-Heroic-GM-less-Any-System-Collaborative-Solo-play&p=16110465#post16110465]

* '''The Holy Faith:''' The official monotheistic religion of the Aventine Empire, believing in ''Izisius the Golden'' [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Tales_of_Anneira#Brother_Viktor_Moonskar_of_Montelphon], Lord of Light and the Holy Fire, and is symbolized by the sun, and also is the general term for religion (see 'Church of Izisius' for more detail). Originally, this was the god selected to be the predominant faith of the Empire when its expansionist policies took hold. Some of the old gods still venerated in other provinces of the realm took on the title of Saints and officially found their place within the official religion, while others were abolished altogether. The Empire tolerates a certain amount of diversity, while the Holy Faith itself does not, using extreme measures in some cases to battle the heresies.
