Setting:Tabula Gloria/For'Channar/The Imperial House of Servitude

Considered the cornerstone of the Imperial government, the Imperial House of Servitude was founded by Margurim I and designed as a means for the government to "be in touch with the Imperial people both now and into the future." It serves as a council-type government, with the different areas of the Empire being represented by one person appointed to each post by its area's leader. It also houses an almost complete collection of older governmental documents, such as laws, tax records, judicial rulings, and the like.

The Chamber of Decree

This is the legislative component of the House of Servitude. Originally, the Chamber convened in one of the House's many rooms, back when there were only five representatives: one for the gentry, one for the commoners, one for the military, one for the merchants, and one for the village of Rausclef. With the growth of the Empire came more representatives, and it showed throughout the Chamber's history. Its meetings were moved from one room to the next, trying to find more and more space with more people discussing matters, as well as more of the public becoming involved in the meetings. Eventually, the growth of the Chamber, as well as the growth of the government's records, forced the Chamber's meetings to convene at the Imperial University while a team of Shapermages created underground space for the archives. Two years later and the Chamber moved back in, the entirety of the original building now their own, archive access now in the much more spacious basement levels.

The Archive of the Ages

Despite the brief interruption of archival during the creation of the Archive's current underground space, its collection of governmental records is unrivaled in the world, even among the older Nation of Animar. Even more wondrous than the Archive's holdings is the staff which maintains the records, able to recall where just about anything is at a moment's notice. Both of these features have made the Archive the first place anyone would want to go before embarking on an expedition or an adventure. Of course, the Archive itself is an adventure of its own. Labyrinthine in structure and guarded with a specialized combat force for protection, those seeking to unlawfully take information from the Archive has quite the task ahead.
