AEGIS KAI DORU, THE SPEAR & THE SCROLL Mankind’s obsession with the marvels of the past has always been best characterized by treasure hunters, and the tales of adventure and wonder that were usually blown up narratives of their discoveries. Only one organization in the world, however, knows the truth behind many of the historical mysteries of the Fifth World, along with how they were connected to the World of Darkness. This organization is Aegis Kai Doru, the so-called “Guardians of the Labyrinth”. This is the story that most everyone who becomes a Guardian is told: Aegis is antediluvian, existing before the famous Great Flood from many stories, and were in ancient times powerful warriors and magicians who were charged with protecting the greatest treasures in the world. That simultaneously hits what their conspiracy is about right on the nail, and also misses the mark completely. Aegis DID exist before most of civilization as we know it did. The true purpose of the Guardians, however, was to seek out, locate, and protect the Lost Legacies, pieces of technology and culture that survived the destruction of the Fourth World. The man responsible for starting Aegis isn’t even a man, and he’s still alive – as “alive” as a sentient artificial construct could possibly be, at any rate. Aegis Kai Doru’s insignia is a large, round shield with a spear and scroll crossed at the back. Aegis operatives make it a point to wear something that alludes to the symbol’s original design, or have an object on their person that has the same effect. Their finest operatives wear the conspiracy’s amulet.

NOTABLE AEGIS OPERATIVES :: Na'ilah Nasr

[geistnet]

NA'ILAH NASR Alias: None CHANGELING [BEAST; CHIMERA/HUNTERHEART]; SENIOR SHIELD OF THE LABYRINTH IN DELHI A senior operative of Aegis Kai Doru whose reputation within her own conspiracy precedes her by merit of the fact that she’s one of the oldest Shields around. Na’ilah has been an invaluable asset to Aegis, especially since she has been instrumental in helping the conspiracy retain its hold on Indo-China in spite of gross amounts of resistance from the Ascending Ones and from the Methuselah. Na’ilah is also responsible for maintaining cordial ties with Zangyaku through her friendship with Lady Utsusemi of the Searing Wind. She and Utsusemi are said to have escaped from Arcadia together. PLOT POINTS AS OF 03 OCTOBER 2016 The Labyrinth at Delhi has gone eerily silent, and Na'ilah herself has not checked in as of late. Her last transmission was sent to Orin the Green, explaining that she was delaying her retreat to Falner in favor of assisting some civilians.
