Vescrutia: Legacy

Diamond Dust is a humanitarian organization dedicated to the welfare and safety of whoever summons their charge. The organization has performed this work for centuries, cementing its reputation in the hearts of millions across Vescrutia. Various members throughout its history hail from historically troubled tribes and have developed their abilities to bring their people from the brink of destruction. Diamond Dust is headquartered on the southernmost continent, Aeon, in a facility they call Cold Frontier. Its location at the edge of the Tarkan Plains places it as a last respite before the continent’s climate becomes treacherous and uninhabitable for most.

The Sacred Art of Service, Tinjutsu has cemented itself as the premier theater experience on Aeon and beyond. In many places, it’s known as the best show in the world, second to no other experience in scale and theme. Tinjutsu combines the exceptional skill and movement disciplines of acrobatic, circus style performances and combines them with martial prowess to create an experience that people travel the world over to see firsthand. And with good reason, the ticket price is well worth it since the artists are some of the best at their craft.

Tinjutsu takes food and beverage service to the next level, utilizing both in their shows to feed the massive crowds effortlessly. As the master of ceremonies, Fenri conducts the shows and his connections bring some of the most elite across Vescrutia to the threshold of a performance like no other. The disciples of Diamond Dust train hard at their headquarters, Cold Frontier, and in exchange, are given room and board for their diligence, creating a collaborative community that produces some exceptionally skilled individuals dedicated to serving the world and their fellow people.

They take pride in their craft and honor the lives of the creatures that die to provide for their guests, bringing the warmth of the hearth to their kitchens and their performances.
• Ars Bevera - Sacred art of beverage and liquid service. This discipline is skilled in that transmutation of liquids from one form to another.

The history of Ars Bevera has been recorded in Diamond Dust’s handbook, holding a wealth of secrets forged by generations of masters of the craft. They act as the life giving water for the performances, and maintain a restorative character that pervades every show.
