The Unbroken Chain

"Blood and bone, rain and stone. Your burdens now shall be mine own. No longer shall I walk alone. I vow by blood to work unknown. Rain and stone, blood and bone."

The Unbroken Chain is a secret organization as old as human memory, based on the principle that there must always be people who take responsibility. There are many branches of the Unbroken Chain, but only the branch at Hieronymous Wiggenstaff's School for Heroism and Villainy is currently known.

Their emblem depicts two overlapping semicircles surrounded by a larger circle, representing chain links.

Initiation
The only way to join the Unbroken Chain is to be invited by an existing member, and each existing member only gets one invitation, represented by a coin with their name inscribed along the edge. Jackal used his invitation on Mosh, and Shebrie Keene entrusted her invitation to Jackal, who later fulfilled her wish to invite Argo.

After receiving an invitation from their sponsor, a new recruit must be vetted by a second member who explains the mission and principles of the Unbroken Chain. As they recite the initiation vow, the coin they received is then melted down to create a pendant with the Unbroken Chain emblem.

Goals
In general, the Unbroken Chain exists to take responsibility when they believe someone needs help, something needs doing, or someone needs stopping. They do not enforce order, but "do what is called for" secretly and anonymously.

In order to maintain this secrecy, they conduct their meetings in rooms that lack Garys and have shimmering curtains that ward against eavesdropping, such as Jackal's balcony or the secret room in the forge.

Their current mission is to investigate the wild magic that has been bleeding out of the Godscar Chasm for the past 50 years, which is why there are so many members located at the adjacent school. As a result, they are also looking into Sir Fitzroy Maplecourt and the source of his power, since he wields the same wild magic detected in the Godscar Chasm.
