Secret Autopsy Division

The is an organization of the Clock Tower of the Mage's Association operating in the Spiritual Tomb of Albion.
==Characteristics==
The division is the organization responsible for investigating the Spiritual Tomb of Albion. Everything in the labyrinth is under its sole jurisdiction: even the Barthomeloi who lead the Aristocratic Faction and the Trambelio who lead the Democratic Faction have no say in their arrangements. In a certain sense, though the Secret Autopsy Division belong to the Clock Tower, they are also not part of the Clock Tower.Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files Volume 8: case. Grand Roll (Upper) - Chapter 2 Part 4
The organization is split into three parts: the Management Branch, responsible for overseeing the function of the entire organization; the Materials Branch, responsible for providing the tools necessary for the excavation and researching Albion itself; and the Excavation Branch which keeps records of the actual investigators.
Unlike most organizations in the Clock Tower, since it was set up in a way to prevent any one Lord from monopolizing it, the organization doesn’t lend much weight to the bloodlines of those involved. Rather than magi, it would be more accurate to call them archaeological Spellcasters.
The Secret Autopsy Division have buildings at each of the four entrances of the Spiritual Tomb of Albion, which is how they are capable of managing who enters. Though not every one of the people working there are magi, all of them should at least know about magecraft and Mystery.Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files Volume 8: case.

==Divisions==
===Excavation Branch===
 is the department responsible for the actual excavation.
Before the arrival of Heartless and the rise of the Faculty of Modern Magecraft, new generations of magi had no means of making a name for themselves except by finding success in the excavations.
===Management Branch===
 is the organization responsible for the management of the mining town of Magisfair within the Spiritual Tomb of Albion.
They possess a tremendous amount of data regarding the people and materials taken into Albion.
The number of entrances to Albion are incredibly few, and though each one is in the hands of the Management Department, the number of officially recognized excavators that attempt to sneak out Talismans from the Tomb is endless, thus necessitating their tight control.
And though the official entrances have been locked down, a number of portals leading from the Tomb to the surface have appeared, leading to a slew of disappearances and graverobbings.
===Materials Branch===
 is the department responsible for creating the tools used in the excavation and exploration of Albion. Unlike most Magical Workshops, because they must mass produce the same items over and over, a number of magi’s Magical Workshops have been combined to create the “Composite Workshop Criegula.” Apparently, the Criegula also once made Witch’s tools or something.
In addition, this division is also responsible for actually progressing research into Albion. Since the disappearance of the criminal Gazamy at the end of the last century, Albion has continued to undergo extreme changes, working this department down to the bone.
