## World Minister Alarin Kip The automata on the world act under the authority of local monitoring apparatus answer directly to the world minister Alarin Kip. Alarin's identity is fluid as is, but has been responsible for the dominion of this world as the greatest centralizing hub for virtual minds in the entire Civic. To the point Alarin Kip is someone given deep suspicion by rival Assembly factions based in worlds such as [[New Lyonesse]] or the Burrows, with rumors of split loyalties to the [[Silent Pact|Silent Pact]] filling the interstellar fugue. Yet the operation Alarin had achieved for the necropolis here has made it one of the greatest centers of power in all of Civic Space for the virtual minds which permeate around the Assembly and beyond.
