Greenwater

Not quite as academic as the (intentionally butchered Latin) name might suggest; at least not anymore. Very result-oriented and technocratic, the Convocation is made up of inventors and engineers, and is responsible for many of the things that make life possible in the city. They operate the Skytowers that keep the air breathable, as well as the Purifactories that make the water drinkable. They oversee the waste Drudges that handle garbage disposal, as well as the railways that allow fast transport within and beyond the city. The Convocation’s power lies in how its activities are essential to everyday life, as the population rely on the Academis in order to eat, drink and breathe.

The ‘heart’ of the Convocation Academis is the city’s oldest and grandest institute of higher learning, known simply as The University. The Academis also effectively control the Corps Necis within the Greenwater army. While the Necis, headquartered in the Fortress Necis just outside Greenwater, are a part of the army, formally under the Convocation Militant, the experimental and high-tech nature of the Corps ensures that the majority of its members are Academis. While the Academis strive to constantly improve things, the status quo tends to itself, and over time the only tangible result is the creation (and eventual destruction) of a variety of Legacy Machines.
