Armistice Core

A secretive organization that Irene Byzantine I, Silas Locke and Vincentus Lacroix founded in an attempt to create information-gathering networks to keep a close eye on the Imortale Shadia on 13DD. As years passed, the aim of the group has drastically changed, but they aim for a more peaceful Astralis through covert operations. They do not operate nor are acknowledged by any government policy and like to keep it that way to remain impartiality.

Although they maintain a neutral stand when it comes to wars both political and theological, they have stepped in to aid in select skirmishes to not to help in the effort, but rather to study their enemies closely.

They were later made public by the then-president Orshun Wells after his first few days of presidency. This forced Armistice Core to declassify delicate files and past projects to the media, causing outrage in the population. Due to this publicity, they were forced to change their policy and allow themselves to be absorbed in Hylia’s government as an intelligence agency.

To maintain its previous aim of secrecy and covert operations outside government intervention, veteran staff of the organization’s inception made a splinter cell within its ranks that only answer to the core staff and deny its existence to the current government, dubbing it the Seven. This splinter cell also worked to white-wash released information in order to maintain the Arian-Hylian connection.

Later when Rep. Causius of the Unseen dismantled Armistice Core’s department and its entirety, they also uncovered the Seven and accused them of espionage. This caused those of the Seven to flee Hylia and join forces with the Una Rosa in Sunflower Patch.

Currently, they still maintain a close ties with their undercover brethren and seek to help undermine the Unseen influence from Astralis.
