The Celestial Master's Office was an entity known to everyone in the Camelot Central Empire, yet truly understood by no one.
Established by Camelot's first emperor, the Celestial Master's Office's original purpose was to gather extraordinary talents from across the land and convey the will of heaven.
However, in the thousand years since Camelot's founding, the Celestial Master's Office's activities had been limited to teaching cultivation techniques to successive emperors, imparting knowledge to various sects, and making brief appearances at Camelot's triennial heaven-worshipping ceremonies—often with their faces veiled.
Court officials knew of the Celestial Master's Office's existence and its masters' formidable abilities. At least 40% of the current empire's cultivation techniques originated from them. Yet no one knew exactly what the office did or when they had last taken action.
