Agriosan Intelligence

## Agrosian Intelligence

The **Agriosan Intelligence**, alternatively called the **Agriosan Intelligence Agency**, was a specialized division in the Kingdom of Agriosa dedicated to espionage and disguise.

The agents of the division are highly skilled in evasive maneuvers, acrobatics, and even blind-fighting when necessary. Those with magical abilities focused on spells and enchanted items that improved their stealth. Individuals went through extensive training through programs recommended by officers.

Within Iythos, the intelligence agency was generally feared, mainly because of their reputation for frequent executions of those deemed to be traitors and spies.

## Composition

The intelligence agency consisted of eight ranks that all had different purposes. The power structure of the agency allowed members of varying ranks to work on the same operation, even if in very different capacities.

* **Master of Intelligence**: The Master of Intelligence is in charge of espionage and gathering intelligence from informants throughout the realm. These individuals often had omnipotent powers or used members of the agency to get information.
* **Intelligence Overseer**: The Intelligence Overseer is the second-highest-ranking member of the agency and serves as the right-hand person to the leader. They are responsible for overseeing and coordinating intelligence operations, including gathering, analyzing, and disseminating critical information. The overseer ensures that the agency’s spies and agents are well-informed and their efforts are aligned with the group's goals. In the leader's absence, they may take on a leadership role.
* **Spellrogue**: A Spellrogue is a position reserved for individuals who have completed their training in the Agriosan Spellguard and graduated from one of the agency's specialized programs. They combine their rogue-like skills with arcane magic to gather sensitive information, sabotage magical defenses, and infiltrate arcane societies or organizations. Spellrogues are adept at both stealth and magic, making them highly effective in situations where magic is involved.
* **Informant**: Informants are independent individuals who provide the agency with vital information from various sources. They may be undercover spies, well-placed moles, or individuals who have access to valuable knowledge. Informants play a crucial role in acquiring insider information and keeping the organization informed about the movements and intentions of potential adversaries.
* **Lieutenant Assassin**: Lieutenants in the agency are skilled assassins who lead small teams of agents on missions that require stealth, subterfuge, and the elimination of high-priority targets. They are experts in the art of assassination, espionage, and covert combat, and they report directly to higher-ranking officials.
* **Sergeant Assassin**: Sergeants are experienced assassins who support the lieutenants in their missions. They are responsible for training and guiding the newer members of the agency in the ways of the assassin. Sergeants also play a key role in executing assassination missions and ensuring the organization's success in eliminating threats.
* **Apprentice Agent**: Apprentice Agents are newcomers to the agency. They are undergoing training to become full-fledged agents. During this phase, they learn the skills and techniques required for espionage, sabotage, and covert operations. Apprentices often work under the guidance of more experienced members and gradually earn their place within the organization.
* **Novice Agent**: Novice Agents are the lowest-ranking members of the agency. They have completed their initial training and have proven themselves to be reliable and dedicated to the agency’s cause. Novice agents are typically assigned to less dangerous missions or tasks, but they are expected to learn and develop their skills to advance within the ranks.

Old bylaws dictated that any given member could reveal their membership within the network to no more than three individuals, regardless of their identity or allegiance.

## Possessions

Due to the substantial wealth within the Kingdom of Agriosa, riches flowed through all branches. The intelligence agency efficiently utilized this wealth, ensuring they were not solely dependent on the kingdom's income. Instead, they diversified their resources by investing in financial holdings and establishments across the eastern region of Iythos.

Members of the intelligence agency used small tokens known as *Agency Pins* for identification, which had become a symbol of their unity. Each of these pins featured the design of a dragon's eye and possessed magical abilities. Agents were required to carry their pins at all times, with the exception being during missions where revealing their identity might compromise the operation's success. However, they would openly display their pins when they needed to be recognized by fellow agents, during meetings, or while within intelligence bases.

### Equipment

Apprentice agents were equipped with a selection of magical items to aid them in their early missions. These items not only served as tools of the trade but also as a training ground for these operatives. However, as they advanced through the ranks, they were expected to gather their own gear to match their evolving skills and responsibilities. For their starter gear, each apprentice received:

* **Cloak of Many Fashions**: This garment allowed them to change its appearance at will, camouflaging into various disguises to seamlessly blend into different environments and social situations.
* **Boots of False Tracks**: These enchanted boots enabled apprentices to leave deceptive footprints or conceal their actual path, making it an essential tool for tracking and misdirection.
* **Rope of Mending**: The rope was not only unbreakable but could also magically repair itself. They practiced using it for climbing, securing objects, and even as a weapon when necessary.
* **Bag of Holding**: This magical satchel had unlimited storage space within its deceptively small confines. Apprentices learned the importance of being prepared, as they stored their essential tools, potions, and mission-specific items in this bag.
