+=====The Imperial Commission=====

+  * The Commission are the only group with official permission to possess and work with raw black ichor.
+  * The Commission produce various derivatives of black ichor which are available in restricted supply to the public.
+  * By arrangement with the Palace, they supply the sleeping drafts for the annual Day of Dreaming.
+  * Their name hearkens to the original commission established to investigate the appearance of ichor beneath the city.
+  * Their members are known as 'commissioners','ichor savants', or 'those sinister bastards who poisoned the river'.
