[b]The Seven Savants: [/b]
[hider]
[b]Savant of Conduits[/b] - [i]Do you hear it? This is the heartbeat of something beyond life...[/i]
Being one of the highest experts and specialists in their field, what sets her above all others is her unique ability to ‘feel their heartbeat’ of machines. All Savants must give up something of their humanity to achieve such prowess, to develop the specialized knowledge needed in their respective arcane sciences. Because of her sheer compassion, she was granted the power to able to rewire, link-up to, and redirect the energy of catalysts in ways the others cannot. Her contributions to the ‘Metal Jackets’ were critical in how far they developed and how easily they operate today, nowhere near as cumbersome and tactile as the earlier designs. As their power sources were made more portable and stable. Some say she is the sole creator of Catalyst energy, but she clams she was not alone. The Savant of Conduits is solely responsible for overseeing the great electrical grid that is the ever-active CTS nodes across the city. 

[b]Savantus ex Machina[/b] - [i]Tick. Grind. And Wind. All things follow a cycle.[/i] 
This curious figure is the master of all things machine and of their intricate production and processes. As such, they are one of the head alchemists in the 'Alchemist Foundry' found in the bog-ridden Workshop. Like the [i]Artificer[/i], this title is given to those who are masters at [i]Arcane-smithing[/i], though specifically, in the field of 'Machina Assimulare'. This metal-craft itself is based off the ancient techniques used by the 'Crowned Races', and is one of the core principles in alchemy. Because of their talent, it is said they command the most powerful Hollow Angel, the greatest of the 'Iugis Machina', in the Order. This machina, 'ancient machine', is rumored to be capable of thinking for itself. But do not mistake its basic ability to follow orders to be any sign of 'intelligence'. The advancement of A.I. has been a contentious project throughout the years between Grand Architect and his Savants, being as such failures have plagued them in the past. And continue to do so.

[b]Savant of Arrays[/b] - [i]I have seen the misshapen forms. Our roots, our very essence, they have been burned away by the darkness. But with [b]light[/b], we can shine the way back. Follow me to salvation.[/i]
Another master of arcane-smithing, albeit, specifically in the line of armaments. Their original purpose was to overseeing the production of experimental powerful arcane weapons and highly destructive payloads. But since then, the role has evolved into also taking the responsibility of organizing the internal security on Reclaimed Terra. It is said, they have an interest in the methods of warfare from the 'Age of Crowns'. Because of this fascination, they take inspiration from our ancestors in great detail and stride, from utilizing their tactics down to the design of power armor, based off of old manuscripts, to even upholding their lofty traditions. Also known as the Chief Commanding Officer of the Ferrus Magistratum.

[b]Savant of the Codex[/b]- [i]That which cannot be seen. I have seen. And I shall never unsee...[/i]
Perhaps the most mysterious one of them all. Not much is known about the Savant of the Codex, not even from their own brethren. Or themselves, for that matter.

[b]Savant of Oscillation[/b] - [i]The black pedals that consumes you in death... Is it not a poetic thing? When you ponder long enough, you realize that there is no actual difference between then and now. Only the present.[/i]
The head researcher of the Custodia et Sanitarium occupies this spot, governing the field of Animus, or 'life alchemy', in common. This field is directed at bio-arcane-engineering, the core study behind the 'Redaction' process. But probably most famous for developing the methods for assimilating flesh to metal, resulting in the 'Metal Jackets'. This in part due to aid of the other alchemical fields, and their respective Savants, namely of the 'Machina Assimulare'(which deals in the construction of advanced machinery), and the field of 'Conductis'(which deals in the overall effects and relations of energy, specifically arcane-based). While separate in focus from medical sciences, the achievements in Animus has allowed for great strides and breakthroughs in such areas. The Savant of Oscillation is are also known for heralding the 'Recreation' initiative, a grand-scale project aimed at healing and correcting the environmental damage of the world. All these achievements, combined with their charismatic and virtuous public demeanor, it is not wonder that this Savant is the most highly reputable and favored of all the Savants.

[b]Savant of Frequency/Decay[/b] - [i]Remember not of our vows, but of our fates.[/i]
If the Custodia et Sanitarium were to have two bipolar sides, the 'Sanitarium' side would be the one of medical research, of breakthroughs, and of humanitarian strides. The side of 'Creation'. This would leave the 'Custodia' on the opposite end, therefore pertaining to 'Destruction'. Alchemists of this department deal with the sanitation and clean-up of the city's wastes, along with handling any sort of disease or viral outbreaks amongst the populous. But disease can also be mental. Prisoners, felons, and the mentally unstable are taken here, deep into the research wards, for rehabilitation and psychological study and healing. As they say. Some conspirators speak of darker, seedier practices, but those rumors are quickly dealt with by the Savant of Oscillation. The head mortician, the Savant of Frequency/Decay, is highly enigmatic and paranoid in nature. It is unclear which title they prefer. But none dare question this fact. Out of pity. 

[b]Savant of Allotropy[/b] - [i]The Apothos System protects us. Our peerless, selfless savior. And the last part is the most crucial aspect. It asks nothing of us. Nothing at all.[/i]
Considered the leader of the Savants, occupying as the Headmaster of the 'Alchemist Foundry'. This title is only gifted to a 'genius' of Alchemy, to a resolute mind who has endeavored to master all its core principles. But that is not all. This being must also possess a command over arcana greater than any of the Savants. This is because they must hold absolute authority over the usage and legitimacy of the pinnacle art of Alchemy; the ‘Transmutation Ars’, an alchemical art that deconstructs objects to a molecular level in order to alter their properties. Such a feat requires vast intrinsic knowledge in both the material world and arcane arts. Since the beginning of the 'Age of Eclipse' and long history of Reclaimed Terra, the Grand Architect, has held this position. Who else to qualify in all such areas than an ascended being, and the very founder of this arcane practice? But recently, in the last century, this title has been bequeathed to another figure in the community. This has raised some conflict between the members, but they have since proved their strength and silenced all qualms. Today, they oversee all important functions across the sprawling city and deal with public relations, much like a president, or governor, would in our own society.[/hider]
