Hm, it does seem kind of interesting. 
Not sure how I feel about the tech they use, as long as it's not too advanced compared to the outside world it should be fine

It's mainly small things such as recorders that use a type of scrying magic to copy texts and such. To avoid attracting too much attention, most agents will dress and act the same as people in the world, the habits of whom they've studied over the years, or simply pretend to be seekers of knowledge from far off lands. Faceless nobodies one doesn't pay too much mind. The main bulk of advanced tech is in Aroth itself, and even then there aren't really any warmachine type devices due to the orders dislike of conflict. Most of the existing tech in the Athenaeum is used to keep it suspended where it's at, though I do plan on having members who are sent out into the world use specialized devices that use teleportation magics for transportation back and forth. Still have to think that out a bit more, but it won't be overpowered. As for the agents themselves, I don't think I'll have them use magic, at least not all of them anyway. Make it sort of varied. Some use magic, some are skilled with the blade or fist, and others are really good at lying, etc.

As for the Engineer Corp, they will be maintaining the Athenaeum itself obviously, and making useful items for agents to use out in the field. May or may not have them be biologically immortal as well just to make it more self contained, though that can be changed if needed.
