Rosicrucian Society
From Gothpoodle
Sanctum: Rosicrucian Museum
The Rosicrucians are part of an occult tradition which has remained more or less continuous (though much degraded) since the fall of Atlantis. The Rosicrucians trace their legacy back through Greece, Arabia, and Egypt to the fleeing Atlantean mystical orders. The AMORC, founded in 1915, is a continuation of this tradition in the new world. The Rosicrucian Society in San Jose established itself here in 1927, building their museum atop the most powerful hallow in the city and then cementing their control through mystical architecture that has given them control of all of the ley lines, hallows, and nodes in the city.
It is this power, established early in the city history, which has allowed them to remain in exclusive control of the South Bay. They also claim their influence through it has led to the city's growth, peace, and prosperity. The AMORC organization is actually a Sleeper front for the actual Society, which culls it for Sleepwalker acolytes and the newly Awakened. The organization is dedicated to formalized magic and is focused on the past, either maintaining or unearthing ancient wisdom.
