The Technocratic Union
Prince Albert, a strong proponent of science and progress, led the reorganization of the faltering Order of Reason at the Great Exposition in London, and the group finally became known as the Technocratic Union. Groups within a larger Convention are called Guilds at this point. Immediately following the reorganization, the next several decades proceeded with the newfound Union acting with a renewed sense of purpose and a strict Time Table headed by the Invisible College. However, there was strife developing within the Union. Two factions were forming; a more Utopian faction who simply wanted to use science to help better humanity, and a more oppressive faction who felt that what is considered "safe" for humanity would be dictated to it. This latter faction approved of such techniques as thought control, elimination of creativity among the masses, and the like. Sadly, ten years after the creation of the Union, Prince Albert died. Queen Victoria's grief was overwhelming, and she continued to mourn him until she died. Perhaps spurred by a belief that she was continuing his work or doing as he would have wanted, she began to dabble with the nascent Union.
Great Housecleaning
The first stirrings of change came in 1885 when Exchequer Reginald Proctor convinced her to set up a body called the Grand Council of World Government, with the goal of forming a single world government. Undoubtedly this body had an influence on the Union, but was not directly involved in its structure. The Inner Council expressed an interest in the ideals, but their enthusiasm is crushed with the death of the ancient Artisan Wolfgang von Reismann in the same year. Around the same time (circa 1897), Basil Rathbone's Skeleton Keys came to the Queen's attention. The Keys were a secret society of law-enforcement officers who investigated supernatural events and eliminated the perpetrators when possible. By order of the Queen, the Skeleton Keys, and the Lightkeepers were united into a single entity, with a name hearkening back to the foundations of the Order of Reason: The Ivory Tower. It is unknown at this time if the change in membership resulted in a coup of the oppressive faction within the Union, or if the Queen continued influencing the Union personally. Regardless, a dramatic shift Union-wide toward the oppressive faction was seen, and in a second reorganization called the Great Housecleaning the majority of the Conventions once again took new names.
Electrodyne Engineers (Will be Sons of the Ether)
The Sons of Ether have one of their main congregations in London, simply called the "Club", which still harkens back to their Victorian roots.
Iteration X
Ivory Tower (New World Order)
The Light Keepers of London are perhaps the most powerful in the world here. With the backing of Queen Victoria, who is an active member of the order, the Lightkeepers have become a solid power in the city of London. They have several active area's in the city that they are working to solidify the paradigm. To that end the Light Keepers have maintained a pogrom of creating dissension for the Traditions and the other Supernaturals in the city. This pogrom is kept within the upper echelons of the Ivory Tower. There has been concern for some time that there is dissension in the Union. They know that there has been less than full cooperation from the Aetheric Order.
