Domain Summary
Built with the foresight to withstand the Fall and the War of the Dead, the walled Twin Cities of the Society of Deus house a library whose extensive collection rivals the legendary Library of Alexandria, itself. The Society of Deus stands as a monument to the philosophies of personal ascension of its founder and primus, the infamous so-called Liche King, Damien Vryce.
Life in the Domain
Citizens in the Society of Deus are well-prepared, as they have been since before the Fall. Everyone is expected to defend the Society from attack, and every citizen is a member of a militia. Yet the Society is a city of culture as well. Art, music, and theater are embraced fully, and there are frequent performances. Magic is a way of life for everyone in this domain, and shops selling ritual components are omnipresent. Education and learning institutions are commonplace, as are libraries - though the famous Library of Deus is accessible only to nobility of high standing.

Politics & NPCs
The Primus of the Society of Deus oversees the domain. He is served by a Council of Sages who oversee the various guilds and are responsible for managing a portion of the city. The second of the Society, the Apothee, aids the Primus with various logistical matters in running the domain. There are ten internal titles within the Society, which loosely equate to Dischordian titles. In descending order: Primus (the lord of the Society, internally considered the equivalent of king and above), Tribunis (Prince), Evocati (Duke), Decanus (Count), Decuri (Baron), Opti (Knight), Centurion (Squire, no Sage is below this status), Immunis (Trusted Retainer), Discens (Retainer), Acknowledged (Citizen). Any who are of title Centurion or higher can visit the Libraries of Deus without an escort. Though they may extend such invitations on a temporary basis, they are held responsible for the actions of their guests. The contents of the Library may not be removed or copied under any circumstances..
