The Magistracy of Phenomena is one of the most powerful factions in the Republic of Enemies, rivaled only by The Choir. Members are colloquially known as Jade Eyes or Jaded due to the group's use of the protective Scholar's Eye in regalia. As one of the Magistracies of the Republic, all members must pass civil service examinations, including the Magistrate, who is appointed by the Choir.
Originally established during the Imperial Era to obtain more knowledge of khaos and phenomena uncanny, the Jade Eyes have always been revered keepers of knowledge in the Library of Phenomena. As their knowledge grew, however, so did their ambitions: despite not carrying the same public power as the Choir, the librarians' jealously guarded secrets of so-called magic allow them to influence the population and government.
