The Index
The Index is a list of supernatural and extra-planar creatures that are deemed to be too dangerous to be allowed to enter the city of Fynwell.
The list is maintained by the Coordinating Office of Fulcrum and policed by the Fulcrum field agents.
Any creature that belongs to a species or group listed on The Index can be put to death or indefinitely detained by the Fulcrum field agents. The Index also provides guidelines as to which creatures should be exterminated with great prejudice (as they pose a major threat) and which may be simply aprehended and escorted out of the city or sent back to their own plane via magical portal.
Fulcrum agents have full authority and can excercise their own judgment when dealing with creatures from The Index. This is in stark contrast to the rules governing the way the agents interact with Citizens and legal visitors to the city which may be temporarily detained in the course of an investigation, but have rights to a fair trial, and must be released or handed over to Night Watch or City Guard within 24 hours.
The index includes but is not limited to:
- any and all undead creatures including sentient ones such as liches and vampires
- all manner of fiends, devils and angels (including familiars)
- a number of evil aligned beasts and monsters
- extra planar visitors of races not native to Eoran
