Mission of the NGS :
Founded as it was in the embers of war, the NGS has always seen itself as an appeal to the more constructive pursuits of collaboration amongst mankind and indeed all the descendant races. This mission is threefold; to preserve the relics and knowledge of our shared history, to increase that knowledge by unearthing stories forgotten and unraveling the mysteries of the natural sciences, and finally to enrich the public by sharing knowledge, dispelling ignorance and promoting peace in glorifying our shared achievements. It is the hope of the NGS that every new museum opened might serve as a beacon in a constellation of knowledge-sharing and enlightened unity.
Structure of the NGS :
The NGS is organized into three broad divisions. The exploration corps organize daring trips to undisturbed ruins, magical anomalies, and exotic biomes. They collect and catalog new species, ancient statues, and lost weapons for display in the museums. The research division produces books, studies, and papers on topics such as history, alchemy, anthropology, and engineering among many others. They also write much of the material available to read in the NGS’ various museums. The public relations division conducts tours at the museums and organizes events to increase the Society’s impact on the communities they serve. Governing the NGS are the Circle and its members. The Circle consists of proven researchers, adventurers, and mages who have demonstrated as much dedication to the mission of the Society as its founders. Most of the decision-making power is vested in the Circle, including the selection of a President, amendments to the charter of the NGS, and final say on most critical decisions. The President is a “first among equals” of sorts, acting as a representative of the institution, organizing it and providing it with direction. While their power is by no means absolute their selection marks them as amongst the most distinguished and respected members of the Circle, and as such their word is generally respected.
