Imperial Civil Service
The Imperial Civil Service was founded in its current form in the reign of Emperor Giovanni.
Members of the Service are IC oath-bound, and the crew who play them are bound OOC, to the impartiality and neutrality that are the finest traditions of the Service.
As such, they do not vote in any elections, as that would undermine the reality that they are neutral supporters of the Empire.

Prognosticators Office
Prognosticators use a combination of divinatory magic and careful record keeping to provide infallible briefings to the Imperial Senate and the Imperial Military Council. In modern times, the civil service is careful to ensure they include members of every nation; the first Imperial prognosticators were all Urizen seers, though their ranks were quickly bolstered by volunteers, especially from the mystics of Wintermark and diviners from the Brass Coast. The office is ultimately overseen by the Imperial Auditor, Gerard La Salle, who is a member of the Constitutional Court. Their primary duties involve divining the conjunctions of the Sentinel Gate and using a combination of magic and mundane expertise to prepare appraisals for the Imperial Senate.
