Order of Anym

The Order of the Harada Anym is a prominent Maninist Order and voting member of Concourse. Their patron Harada is Anym, a Taudo noble and diplomat of the late Evyni to early Karapeshai periods. Their headquarters are located in the Xidevion, overlooking the city of Adua in the Xidevi Sartashai. 
===History===
===Practices===
Anym is held to have exemplified the virtues of patience, charisma, and - not to put too fine a point on it - cunning. Initiates are expected to master several languages and be persuasive in all of them, and to master any political situation they may be dropped into. Anymi intra-order politics is infamously convoluted, and many initiates spend a great deal of time and effort on impenetrable schemes to gain influence. Some of these can take years to come to fruitition, or so the Anymi say, anyway; it is a habit of the Order to claim that everything that happens does so according to some grand Anymi plan. It is not in dispute that the younger initiates and pre-initiates are outright encouraged to perpetrate the most convoluted pranks and schemes they can imagine on each other; this is believed to be excellent practice for dealing with Accans. The Order has a faintly sinister reputation, and is believed in many circles to operate a vast network of spies and informants relaying everything to puppet-masters in the Xidevion. It must be said that the Order itself does nothing to quell these rumours. Despite or perhaps because of their reputation, Anymi initiates are in some demand as advocates, diplomats and lawyers. 
===Organization===
The Anymi are among the more centralized Orders; the Order's superb communications network enables Adua to keep a relatively tight leash on the outlying territories. The operations of the Order are overseen from the Xidevion by the fifteen Ivekai under the overall command of the Xideka. The Xideka is elected at five year intervals, and the Ivekai appointed by the ruling Xideka, for whom they act in most respects as a cabinet or council of state, each having as his/her portfolio a geographic or or sector. From the Xidevion these oversee a network of embassies in every city of the Halyrate.
