General Description

The Watchers is a covert government intelligence organization operating in Kalimura. This organization is charged with the duty of

However, this group is generally not involved in the day to day affairs of the citizens. It is a small organization with a very focused purpose. Less than 1 in 1000 Kalimurans have sufficient technical knowledge to be of interest to the Watchers. Usually, the Watchers are monitoring between 50-100 Kalimurans and very rarely does this organization have to interfere. When they do, the general populace is unaware.

History

As Kalimura's technology superiority developed, it became evident that measures were needed to prevent advanced items from being smuggled out of the nation. In 1840 CY, the Watchers were formed to control the dissemination of Kalimuran technology. It began as a special branch of the City Guard, but has since grown and become its own unique entity. Over the years, its mandate has broadened and it now functions as the intelligence network for the nation.

Goals and Motivation

Very little is known about this group, its members, its policies or its resources. There are many rumors about this group, many of which conflict. It is generally believed that people with extensive technical knowledge are simply not allowed to leave Kalimura and that the Watchers will do whatever is necessary, including assassination, to protect Kalimuran interests.

Allies and Enemies
