The Qorgan
Overview
The Qorgan is an Yzmir cell specialized in tracking and eliminating the nation’s enemies. It was founded by Wanjiru in the aftermath of The Severance War.
Founding
Wanjiru’s Decision
After uncovering The Isfet conspiracy during The Severance War, Wanjiru remained uneasy despite being celebrated as a hero and a key figure in the reconciliation. He came to believe that The Isfet had been backed by outside forces.
Purpose
The Horomancer decided to dedicate his life to uncovering the true masterminds behind the conflict. To protect Asgartha, he founded The Qorgan, an Yzmir cell specialized in tracking and eliminating the nation’s enemies.
Function
The Qorgan operates as a counter-intelligence organization within the Yzmir Faction, focused on identifying and neutralizing threats to Asgartha’s security. While under Yzmir jurisdiction, the organization maintains resources and operatives embedded across all six Factions.
Operations
Ariadne Surveillance Network (393 AC)
Yanna operates a surveillance system at The Screed using Ariadne, the Eidolon who serves as central knot for expedition threads into the City of Scholars. A hidden Rhombus of the Gestalt placed under Ariadne’s tunic allows monitoring of expedition movements through a secret Gestalt frequency whenever Ordis members are present. Secret laws were passed by carefully selected individuals to ensure maximum Aegis support for expedition teams, increasing Gestalt coverage for Qorgan surveillance.
