The Royal Investigation Agency

## **Recruitment Pamphlet** *(The RIA and YOU!)*

Hey there young man/woman! Looking to join the RIA? Well this detailed information pamphlet can tell you all about what you need to know! This info packet covers everything from our humble beginnings, to our dress code, policies, job opportunities, and much more! So turn the page and begin your journey to servicing all of civilized Aneos!

### **History of the Agency**

The RIA was founded in 198 PD, almost 200 years after the annihilation of the Ley Crystal when the world was beginning to make sense again. The Royal Coalition (which only consisted of 8 Nations and Kingdoms at the time) banded together in order to maintain a steady flow of information about the ever changing world around it and detain individuals that would harm it. This included keeping tabs on roaming criminals, factions, powerful magisters, unbound immortals, Leylines and all things that could be considered a threat to the nations under the coalition. Since then the RIA has expanded into a large conglomerate, no longer confined to nations that signed the centuries-old treaty. The RIA is everywhere and keeps track of everything...

### **Code of Conduct**

If you are able to survive the rigorous 6 week exhibition training, the following week of tryouts, and your standard 8 years of academic studies (unless your extra special!) you will be qualified to join the RIA! However you must keep in mind that your loyalties now ally solely to your superiors and you, new recruit, must remember 3 key things.

1: Never keep any information you are tasked with collecting from the Agency. Remember, we see all and know all!

\*in incredibly small and illegible print\* Note: in the case an Agent does break this rule or disclose information to an outside source, they will go through the 'Termination process and be permanently relieved of their duties.

2: Do your job to your utmost ability. The RIA expects nothing short of perfection from its agents!

3: You are a hero and idol to the people! Becoming an agent means you are on the fast track to fame, and since you will be in the public eye, set an example that others can follow!
