The Ministry

== Description ==
The Ministry is a group of mysterious users of Shadowcast who seek to cause Great Drownings in order to achieve Godhood. They are led by the Nine Prophets, with the First Prophet being the strongest mortal alive, the Second Prophet being the one who gifted Chaser his hemokinetic abilities and the Fourth Prophet, Zi'eer, being the current Lord Regent of Etrea. They have some sort of hostility against The Children Of Navae and desire to clear them out of Summer Isle, presumably due to the Children of Navae's allegiance with a Celestial, Navae, while the Ministry seeks the favor of the Drowned Gods.
Many years ago, they conquered Minityrsa and made it their own territory. After the King of Etrea disappeared, which they may well have had a hand in, they installed the Fourth Prophet as its Lord Regent. 
They are responsible for the drowning of Celtor. The city was drowned as an offering to Yun’Shul.
They enjoy recruiting people to kill others, sometimes to kill specific individuals, sometimes just to kill random people.
== Reputation ==
Everyone starts with a deep enemy reputation with the Ministry. The Adret aspect does not counteract this enough to have a neutral or above reputation.
Doing the repeatable bounty quest(called "Party Trick") increases your reputation with the Ministry. This may be done by talking to either Emel, Imel, or Rimil and killing a player in the required location.
Dying to Nostor allows you to gain some reputation as well, but it also obviously results in you being wiped.
Doing the bounty quest and obtaining Murmur: Tacet from Cestis will also net you some reputation.
Going to the Soothsayer in the Starfield Tundra and giving them Knowledge will also grant you Ministry reputation.
There is only one random event in which you can assist The Ministry and gain reputation: 
* Eastern Tribe Nomad + Eastern Tribal Leader  vs Ministry Scouts(Summer Isle)
Reputation with The Ministry is gained much more rapidly than that of most other factions.

== Trivia ==
*Ministry enemies all use a Krulian Knife, besides the Ministry Enforcer, Nostor, and Chaser. 
*The Ministry's emblem appears as a polar opposite to Lost Celtor, especially being associated in drowning the latter's capital as well as the "arrow" motifs.
