The International Center of Reassurance

The **International Center of Reassurance** (ICR) was a supranational organization established to protect the world's citizens from dangerous criminals. The ICR worked closely with the **Order of Mages**, who provided magical support to the organization. After the mages vanished, the ICR shifted its focus to working with the **Human Empire**, utilizing technology and advanced weaponry to combat threats to the world's population. Despite some controversy surrounding the organization's methods, the ICR remained a crucial player in maintaining global security for many years until it was deemed obsolete by the Human Empire and shut down.

## History

The International Center of Reassurance (ICR) was established in the year 194 BHE in the city of White Port as a joint effort between the Order of Mages and several national governments to combat the rise of dangerous criminals who possessed magical abilities. Over time, the ICR expanded its reach and resources, becoming a supranational organization with the power to operate independently of any one government. When the mages vanished from the world, the ICR continued its mission with the assistance of the newly formed Human Empire.

### Foundation

The International Center of Reassurance (ICR) was founded in High Magical Era, with the assistance of the Master Mages. The ICR was established as a supranational organization aimed at protecting everyday citizens from dangerous criminals. The mages played a critical role in the formation of the ICR, providing their magical expertise and knowledge to aid in the creation of advanced security systems and measures. With the help of the mages, the ICR quickly became a highly respected organization and was responsible for the capture and prosecution of numerous dangerous criminals. The ICR's success was largely due to the cooperation and partnership between the organization and the Mage Order.

### Expansion

After its establishment with the assistance of the Mage Order, the ICR began to grow rapidly, establishing partnerships with various countries and organizations around the world. The ICR's mission to protect everyday citizens from dangerous criminals resonated with people and governments alike, and soon the organization became a household name. The ICR's success also attracted attention from other supranational organizations, and soon the organization became a key player in global security and law enforcement. The ICR expanded its reach, establishing offices in major cities around the world and collaborating with local law enforcement agencies to combat crime. As the ICR grew, it also became more advanced in its operations. The organization invested in state-of-the-art technology and training for its agents to ensure they were equipped to handle any threat. The ICR also established a research and development division to develop new methods for crime prevention and investigation.

#### Research and Development Division

The International Center of Reassurance (ICR) had a dedicated research and development division that worked on creating innovative technologies and tools to aid their mission of protecting citizens from dangerous criminals. The division was staffed by a team of skilled engineers, scientists, and other experts who worked together to design and test new solutions. One of their most significant achievements was the creation of the "Citizen Identification System," a revolutionary tool that enabled law enforcement officials to quickly and accurately identify suspects and track their movements. The system used a combination of biometric data, such as fingerprints and facial recognition, as well as advanced algorithms to analyze surveillance footage and other data sources.

### Decline of Influence

The decline of the International Center of Reassurance (ICR) began with the disappearance of the Order of Mages. With the mages gone, the ICR was left without the magical expertise that had been instrumental in their operations. They attempted to adapt and continue their work without the mages, but found it increasingly difficult to keep up with the evolving threats of the criminal underworld. Additionally, there were accusations of corruption and misuse of power within the organization. Some members were found to be working with criminal groups or using their authority for personal gain. This caused a loss of public trust and support for the ICR. As a result, the organization began to lose funding and struggled to maintain its operations. They were forced to downsize and cut back on their activities, leading to a further decline in their effectiveness. Eventually, the ICR was dissolved and its functions were absorbed into other law enforcement agencies. Despite its downfall, the ICR's efforts to protect everyday citizens from dangerous criminals left a lasting legacy and its former members continued to be respected for their dedication and service.
