TAOCEAR

**The Association Of Corridoria Exploration And Research** (**TAOCEAR**) is a non-profit collective of individuals initially founded by Henry G. Gordon in March 1990, after he wished to finally share the wonders of Corridoria he'd experienced first-hand with other unique and like-minded individuals. These people were not to be in it for the potential riches or fame, but only in it to explore and learn of this world.

Paranormal researchers and amateur mathematicians were the main demographics of the initial TAOCEAR crew, mostly because that's just the type of people Henry Gordon was friends with at the time. As more people were sworn to secrecy however, more people with varying tradeskills joined the organization, prompting more audacious and fruitful expeditions than ever before.

## Code of Honor

TAOCEAR, unlike a lot of organizations, does not have an officially stratified code of rules or anything of the sort. It is more akin to a community exploration effort, and is hence why even the word "Overseer" is not fully accurate to convey the role of people like Henry Gordon or Mary Cindworth. There's no official ranking systems, although explorers like to compare dimension-count (how many new dimensions each has been too) and artifact-count (how many objects these explorers have retrieved from these dimensions.

Over the years however at least three rules have come to be implicitly understood by all members:

* Corridoria's existence is to be kept secret from the outside world. Knowledge of the sigils needed to invoke the realm or introduction of strangers to the dimension would no doubt result in a government takeover or entrepreneurial possession. This means also TAOCEAR has no social media or online presence, does not make calls related to Corridoria except with coded phrasing, and information passed may only be passed between members in person.
* Life within the realms and entering the realms is to be respected. This means the highest level of care in expeditions and also prohibits using terrestial-based animals within these dimensions as game, with the exception of extremely plentiful and confirmably non-sentient species.
* Corridoria's main hallway is to be kept clear of debris or equipment. That stuff can go in the adjacent hallways, but it is still recommended not to be such a hazard that one could trip over the items.

## Members

*For an exhaustive member list see TAOCEAR Staff*
As of the current day TAOCEAR has 43 members, with an all-time count of 89 members, the contemporary amount of 46 missing people being due to either lack of interest (31), natural death (4), or unexplained disappearance (11).

## Expeditions

*For an exhaustive expedition log see TAOCEAR Expeditions*
Ever since TAOCEAR's inception, expeditions have been organized into the various realms of Corridoria. These will usually involve between three to 10 people and are organized on or around the 13th of every month, so as to establish a sort of schedule. Multiple small-scale expeditions may be launched on the same day, although this is rare due to the relatively small member-count.
