**The Division** is a highly efficient group seeking knowledge, understanding and technological advancements. Because of this, The Division considers itself a bastion of proficiency amidst a world full of war and death. In their eyes they are the watchers, protectors and controllers of Avalor, destined to protect their land by any means necessary.

## Background

The Divisions location is top secret, speculated to be hidden somewhere in the south-west desert. Because of the conscious decision to remain hidden, The Division has almost completely isolated themselves from the outside world. As a result the scientists of The Division can work in peace, free from the distractions that the chaotic world often provides. Without having to worry about the outside, the scientist of The Division can focus entirely on their work.

Whilst all scientists within The Division have the luxury to perform the experiments and tests they desire, The Division has a number of "high status" experiments that it takes the most pride in. The "high status" experiments are ones that can drastically change either overall efficiency, productivity or in some cases even revolutionise the world. Currently, some of these "high status" experiments include: [REDACTED]

## Organisations

The Division offers its scientists a clean, safe, comfortable environment to work and thrive in. As a result of this, The Division has many individual sectors that all have a unique path to play the pursuit of knowledge.

The Division has perfected a system that maximises efficiency and promotes individual development and research. The leadership over The Division is in the hands of the council, made up of individual heads of each division, and one specially-appointed director. The different divisions are fairly autonomous, perfectly capable of functioning without direct intervention. Of course, sometimes a higher voice of administration is required to keep the divisions on the right path, this is where the director comes into play. The director is appointed to set policy, resolve disputes and otherwise act as an intermediary.

### BioScience

Headed by the leader of Atrium, Admeric Reinhold, the BioScience division specialises specifically in fields of study such as botany, genetics and medicine. It is the BioScience division who is responsible for keeping all the scientists in The Division fed, hydrated and healthy. Thanks to their advancements in crop production, pharmaceuticals and livestock management, the BioScience not only provides more than enough food and resources to The Division, but even to the town of Atrium. BioScience's main purpose is to ensure the health and well-being of everyone within The Division. They perform above and beyond, thus allowing themselves time to engage in their own interesting projects and experiments.

### Advanced Systems

Advanced Systems is currently absent of a division head, yet it continues to be a promising division. Advanced Systems specialises in testing and finalising generalised theories and ideas that can potential push society forwards into the future. Advanced Systems has more testing facilities than any other division making it a designated hub for finalising experiments. Thanks to their advancements, The Division keeps propelling itself into a state of the art facility with all the technology and fundamentals needed for long healthy lives.

## Society

Despite The Divisions advancements, there is a limited amount of scientists working at the facility. As a result of this, the need for housing is relatively small. This has allowed The Division to construct state-of-the-art housing apartments for all of the scientists and their families. This allows scientists to remain in the facility for as long as they so desire, with the majority choosing to remain permanently in the facility. Like the acting director, Lettcor Mangesh, who only leaves the facility to occasionally attend diplomatic meetings.

Scientists interact regularly with one another, meeting in the many public facilities The Division offers. Despite its secrecy, The Division maintains a friendly and welcoming demeanour to those introduced into its ranks and allows access to almost every area inside the facility to newcomers. No strict work hours exist for scientists, making them free to take many hours off and come and go as they please from meals.

## Outside Relations

The Division is incredibly secretive the projects occurring within the walls of their facility. This leads to it limiting outside contact as much as possible to avoid possible information leaks and security breaches. Of course, this does not mean The Division has sealed themselves away entirely. The Divisions top secret security sector often runs recon missions to allow them to stay knowledgeable and up to date on what is occurring in the outside world. Some nations even work closely with The Division, proudly possessing secret Division operatives within their ranks, to better monitor the changing world.

Anyone who holds anything of possible value to The Division, especially technology or research data, are flagged by outside Division operatives. These individuals are then peacefully confronted and are heavily compensated for donating their possessions to The Division. Individuals who are confronted typically do not even know they were speaking to a Division operative, this in turn keeps both parties safe and secure.

The Division is open to increasing relations with outside nations who share their ideals and understand their pursuit. Those who can not understand, are merely discarded and forever blocked from interacting further with The Division.

## History

The Divisions history is long and intricate with many different allies and foes that change and shift constantly. However The Divisions core history and therefore identity, has always moved with the times. This has turned The Division into an immortal state that exists far beyond its regional presence, but into the world of legend and mystique.

### The Divisions Foundation

The Division was founded by The Director, Lettcor Ah-Marilla, who created The Division as an instrument of change. Even from it's creation, The Division remained a secret, for a few years only ever being known by Lettcor. However all would change when a realisation was found. Through a personal experiment, Lettcor found the existence of a world ending catastrophe that would take place sometime in the future. It was in this moment, that The Division would change dramatically. The first scientist to be invited into The Division's prestige's ranks was the leader of Atrium, Admeric Reinhold. Through Reinhold's funds, The Division would expand it's facilities, ranks, experiments and goals, all in the name of saving Avalor from it's impending doom. The Division had officially shifted from a small science organisation to protectors of Avalor.

### Further Growth

Through the years, The Division developed and grew further and further ahead. It was during this time goblins were created and eventually released out into the wilderness to test their wider capabilities. Whilst a controversial decision, for The Division it was necessary for their development which in turn was vital for Avalor's survival. The Division carefully observed the wider world of Avalor and noticed secret groups of individuals who would organise closely with one another to plot against Avalor's survival. These groups were named "Anti-Avalorians" and became The Divisions major opposition. It was because of this discovery that The Divisions began to create themselves an army, for a time would come when these Anti-Avalorians would strike against the protectors of Avalor, but The Division would be ready. Along with the establishment of an army, The Division advanced further in their technological discoveries.

### Operation Takeover

Operation Takeover was an operation that simply asked for The Divisions control over Avalor. For The Division to advance the world off their end of world timeline and onto a safer timelines, they would need full access to the world resources. And so for the first time, The Division announced to the world of their existence. Along with this, Operation Takeover was initiated and plans for the grand reconquest of Avalor were put into place. It was announced that the nation of Ahvrilla would be the first nation to be liberated and placed under protection of The Division. However, when The Division arrived in Ahvrilla with their army, they were met by organised Anti-Avalorians. These aggressors fought back The Division, managing to force a Division retreat. Although it was only an initial test of The Divisions capabilities in war, it ultimately refused the possibility of Ahvrilla's protection. However, in an act of mercy The Director announced that Ahvrilla would be left alone during the remainder of Operation Takeover, something that would later be taken for granted by the Anti-Avalorians who only wished to see their world die and disintegrate.

#### The Division's Ultimatum

It wouldn't be long before The Division decided to make their stand against the rest of Avalor. Avalor had continued to worsen and decay during The Divisions emergence, it was clear that the end was coming soon. If The Division was to save Avalor, it would need to speed up Operation Takeover. A powerful speech was held by The Director in his first official public appearance. The entire world of Avalor was invited and citizens from all nations travel to attend the speech held at Atrium. In what very well what could be one of the key defining moments in all of Avalor's history, The Division gave the entire world and ultimatum. Join The Division or become erased. As the speech concluded the desert town of Atrium erupted into applause as a motivated crowd felt empowered for once. They felt the desire within everyone to protect their land awaken. Many new faces would join The Division that day, with many more soon to be awakened. But it was in that defining moment that The Division became more than anyone had originally imagined. It had become a world movement. A world movement, ideology, and feeling known as World Visionism. A movement that would thrust Avalor into a new era.

### Unified Avalor

With the launch of Operation Takeover in full flight, the dream of a unified Avalor was slowly becoming a reality. With the willing integration of once independent states like Atrium and Unavara, The Division had in turn become something more than just a secret organisation. The Division was now a nation, with citizens, towns, cities and land of their own. Upon this realisation, a Unified Avalor was created, built off of the foundation established by The Division. Despite the growing forces of Anti-Avalorians, they were far too disorganised for the sheer power and strength now realised by Unified Avalor. Unified Avalor was everywhere, it had territory from every corner of the map and citizens planted within every civilisation. The Division had become Unified Avalor, which in turn had become Avalor. The Director of The Division, Lettcor Ah-Mrilla, became the first Emperor of Avalor, and in turn owned everything. All that was left was to defeat the Anti-Avalorian groups that lurked in the shadows and conclude Operation Takeover as a success.

## Products

Products are a terminology used by The Division to refer to successful experiments. Experiments once succeeded then become official products of The Division, something that scientists take a lot of pride in.

### Experiment 254: Goblins

Goblins are typically all light green and slightly shorter than the average human. Their appearance, fighting style and presentation are all considered to be rather primitive, but where they lack in intelligence they make up for in aggression. After a variety of tests, no Goblin will back down from a fight and will instead fight to the death if necessary. This behaviour has been carefully extracted from all Goblin subjects and placed into every experiment within The Division. There are many variations of Goblins, such as Goblin archers and Goblin kings, however there core identity remains the same. Goblins were officially released from The Division and sent out into the world many years ago, in an effort to weaken Avalor. Goblins now roam the wilds unchecked, increasing their population and growing in strength.

### Experiments 261: Orcs

Orcs are often considered to be a relative to that of the Goblins. This is because they share very similar genomes. Orcs however are typically taller, stronger and more violent than their Goblin relatives. Orcs are now seen as the more improved versions of Goblins, and were thus released out into the world to assist Goblins in weakening Avalors inhabitants. With the development of the Orcs, Goblins took on the role as The Divisions foot soldiers, whilst Orcs took on the more tankier role.
