Each threat level would have corresponding response protocols, including deploying special agents, containment strategies, and potential collaboration with other agencies or international organizations. Here's a list of threat levels the PRA uses:[table][row][sup][h3][b][color=2e2c2c]

The Accordance [i]was[/i] a beacon of hope in an otherwise bleak All-Verse. This organization was tasked with maintaining order across the All-Verse, operating with a single purpose: to uphold the delicate balance of all worlds from the threat of chaos and destruction. Central to the Accordance's structure was a system of ranks and titles designed to ensure efficient governance and decision-making. At the top of this hierarchy stood [b]Dacious, [/b]the revered leader of the organization, whose wisdom and foresight guided its actions. Beneath him was the [b]Council of Twelve,[/b] comprised of esteemed advisors and experts in various fields, offering expertise to craft the Accordance's policies and strategies.

The Accordance's responsibilities span various domains, from interdimensional diplomacy to crisis intervention and conflict resolution. They monitored emerging multiversal threats and potential destabilizing influences across the All-verse, deploying their forces to address such threats before they could escalate into something far worse. Further down the hierarchy were the [b]Peacekeepers[/b], operatives trained in combat, diplomacy, and law enforcement. Operating on the front lines of conflict and crisis, these dedicated individuals embodied the Accordance's commitment to protecting the innocent and upholding justice across the multiverse. The Peacekeepers wielded vast magical and technological resources to aid them, including ancient artifacts, powerful spells, and advanced weaponry. 

One of Accordance's most frightening capabilities lay in its ability to mobilize resources and personnel from across the All-Verse with unparalleled efficiency. Using interdimensional portals and advanced communication networks, they could deploy Peacekeepers to any corner of the All-Verse within [i]seconds.[/i] In addition to their roles as peacekeepers, the Accordance also served as custodians of ancient knowledge and artifacts. They maintained a vast collection of artifacts (partly to keep them from falling into the wrong hands) and records of past conflicts, phenomena, and other knowledge that could be useful.

However, their greatest challenge came from the Inner Circle, a vicious cult led by the mighty Green Adept known as Sunshine Jones. This shadowy organization posed a grave threat to the stability of the All-verse, unleashing horrors upon countless worlds in its relentless pursuit of the "blood of magic." Despite the Inner Circle's power, the Accordance came out on top and banished Sunshine Jones and her followers to the Pit, ending their reign of terror.

However, it was short-lived, as the Accordance was annihilated not long after, with all the artifacts in their possession, including the legendary All-Blade, scattered across the All-Verse. Their defeat and destruction are shrouded in mystery. Still, the rumor is that Sunshine escaped the Pit and destroyed the Accordance in revenge.[/indent][/cell][/row][row][cell][center][h2][b][color=black]THE[color=2e2c2c].[/color]INNER-CIRCLE[/color][/b][/h2][hr][img]https://i.imgur.com/PYuTrk0.jpg[/img][hr][b][sup][i]"Our destiny awaits in the blood of magic!"[/i][/sup][/b][hr][/center][/cell][cell][indent][color=2e2c2c].[/color]

The Inner Circle, a name whispered in a hushed tone across All-Verse, embodies the dark depths a lust for power can lead and the corruption magic can have on one's soul if they let it. Led by brutal and savage [b]Sunshine Jones,[/b] a Green Adept of unmatched power, she commanded a legion of devotees just as fantastical and brutal as she was. Their goals are as superb as they are nefarious: to locate the [i]source[/i] of magic, which they dub as the "blood of magic," and to harness its power. At the heart of the Inner Circle lies a vast network of hidden lairs, secret laboratories, and occult libraries hidden across the All-verse. These facilities are the centerpiece of the cult's dark experiments and twisted rituals, where they conduct heinous acts of torture, human experimentation, and forbidden magic in pursuit of their goals.

The cult's membership numbered in the hundreds, each member a skilled Adept, Aberration, or sometimes Apparition. These devotees pledged loyalty to Sunshine Jones's cause, carrying out her orders with fanatical [i]zeal.[/i] The Inner Circle's crimes were as numerous as they were unforgivable, ranging from mass murder and genocide to the creation of monstrous abominations that killed millions to creating and selling powerful artifacts and weapons to [i]other[/i] monstrous. The Inner Circle stopped at nothing, and [i]everyone[/i] was a necessary sacrifice for their sinister goals. 

Yet, despite their vicious nature, the Inner Circle remained an enigma, their true motives and ultimate goals shrouded in mystery. Some believe they seek to ascend to Godhood, while others fear they may seek to bring about the end of all existence. Whatever their intentions, the Inner Circle was a force to be reckoned with. Despite their overwhelming power and influence, the Inner Circle's reign of terror had challenges. Chief among their foes was the Accordance, a multiversal organization of peacekeepers [i]dedicated[/i] to putting an end to them and restoring balance to the All-Verse

Their defeat at the hands of the Accordance and James Vanburen, the hero of the All-Verse, was a momentous victory for truth and justice, and Sunshine's exile to the Pit was seen as a triumph.  Yet, despite their destruction, they left permanent scars in the All-Verse, and to this day, the residents of the worlds they brutalized feel their shadow looming over them. Rumors say that she has escaped The Pit and now seeks vengeance against those who dared to oppose her, including destroying the Accordance.

The Inner Circle left one hell out of a legacy as they serve as a chief reminder of how power corrupts and how steps must be taken to prevent others from following in Sunshine's footsteps.[/indent][/cell][/row][row][cell][center][h2][b][color=black]THE[color=2e2c2c].[/color]OLD[color=2e2c2c].[/color]CULT[/color][/b][/h2][hr][img]https://i.imgur.com/ILVkU7L.jpg[/img][hr][b][sup][i]"They say the Old Cult's darkness still lingers, waiting to reclaim its place."[/i][/sup][/b][hr][/center][/cell][cell][indent][color=2e2c2c].[/color]

More legend than anything.

Rumors, whispers, and half-truths speak of a mysterious cult that worshipped the Stygian Snake and was just [i]so[/i] heinous and reprehensible that it had to be wiped from the canals of history. Very little is known about the Old Cult, to the extent that its [i]name[/i] is a mystery, but what [i]is [/i]known is that it was led by a man named [b]Walter[/b]. The purge of information was so thorough that the specifics of their crimes are a mystery, leaving behind speculation... and the lingering possibility that they may not have existed.[/indent][/cell][/row][/table][/hider][Hider=Artifact/Location Template][code][table][row][/row][row][cell][h3][b]NAME[color=2e2c2c].[/color][/b]HERE[/h3][/cell][cell][/cell][/row][row][cell][center][img]Image Here[/img][hr][color=2e2c2c]............................................................[/color]
