The Gotharpsy

## Description

The Gotharpsy (Pronounced Go-Dhar-See) are an Alairvayan organization that acts as a central hub for all Alairvayan schools of thought. It consists of a central board of representatives from each school of thought. Those who hold the Grand-Master titles have a seat and other representatives are either chosen in or are those who have held the Grand-Master title.

The Gotharpsy head is usually the sitting Grand-Master of a school that has contributed most to the Exchange process in a previous term. The Exchange process of a term are the inter-school events held in that term during which key concepts and intuition is shared across schools to further progress. The official handling of the events comes under the responsibility of school that occupies the Gotharpsy head, while in practice the events themselves are run in rotation on the other schools with the sitting head only deciding timings and focus points.

The Gotharpsy themselves contain a school of thought and Gotharpsy Grand-Masters commonly become heads during uncertain terms of progress in which the dominant school of thought appears ambiguous. The school itself is known as the School of Depiction. The school of depiction studies the ability to represent various concepts and looks for fundamental links between various schools of thought. This often leads to magic that involves diagrams that resonate with truth, which in turn allows modification of it.

## Secrets

The Gotharpsy is a central institution that is of revered status among Alairvayan settlements and cities. It is home to many affairs involving the various schools and as such also contains many secrets.

Deep in the Gotharpsy Halls are hidden various fragments of knowledge that are kept as close guarded secrets, some are forbidden pieces of magic, other are various key facts that provide strategic advantage.

There is a hidden vault that contains forbidden magic somewhere in one of the central libraries. Though this information like all other Alairvayan writings can only be understood by being able to read the bumps etched into the surface of the material.

Similarly maps are kept somewhere in the council rooms which illustrate the caverns for locating important sources of magic.

## History

The Gotharpsy and its School of Depiction is one that arose naturally rather than being founded. It did so due to increasing interactions between various schools of thought that were necessary for advancing intuition. Exact details of its history are not easily available.

Most Alairvayan works are only decipherable to an Alairvayan, as such requesting information usually occurs at the Gotharpsy hub where those of the school of depiction will attempt transmitting the knowledge in some manner. These are usually found near central locations.

## Bases of Operation

Every Alairvayan settlement has a Gotharpsy embassy with some of them also having some space set aside for the school of depiction. These usually are close to the local central hub that deals with administration and distribution of work titles

## Relationships within the organisation

The Alairvayans within the organisation do not themselves have any relationships due to their innate lack of sense of self. Instead they have nominal titles related to the volume and type of work one has completed. To communicated with an Alairvayan settlement one will have to either find a student of depiction in the Gotharpsy or a scholar-scribe who works with them.

## Values

The Gotharpsy themselves arose from needing to form a medium of communication between the schools of thought. Their core values are thus formed from its inner school of thought... the school of depiction. They focus on how geometry links all forms of intuition and itself resonates with the truth of reality.

## Trivia

Gotharpsy is an anagram of Pythagoras.

The School of Depiction is the only single word school known about.
