Headmaster
The Headmaster is the leader of the Institute. Their tasks focus on coordinating expeditions on the highest level, taking care of collaboration with other parties, receiving and propagating orders from the higher-ups and maintaining the organization’s integrity.
Examiner
Members of this rank are the second highest in the chain of command. Examiners reciprocate the orders from the Headmaster and manage the Institute’s field business, being able to launch and coordinate research and expeditions on their own, as well as send orders themselves.
Scholar
As the main academic force of the Institute, Scholars are experts at research and their particular fields of knowledge. They are the main members to secure and analyse the acquired relics, providing much needed expertise.
Overseer
Overseers are the fighting branch of the organization. Although many of them possess academic skills too, their main objective is to provide safety and to guard the group, protecting them from danger and enabling expeditions into the more dangerous areas of the world.
Seeker
This is the standard rank and the biggest pillar of the Institute. Seekers are universal members on their own, providing insight both in the office and in the field, each one of them possessing skills allowing to do so.
Associate
An entry rank which also involves people aligned to the Institute, yet not striving to become full-time members.
Other ranks:
Confidant
Confidants are either exceptional experts that aren’t members of the organization, yet are hired to support it in the endeavours demanding their expertise or trusted members of the Alliance who earned this place in the Institute. The rank is equivalent of Scholar. This is the final rank Alliance members and people not directly tied to the Institute can achieve.
Commander
In rare cases, one non-associate member can be temporarily promoted by an Examiner or the Headmaster to be a commander during an expedition, taking on the leadership role. This position is reserved for members which experience is crucial for a given expedition.
