The Cerberus Assembly is a faction described by Pumat Sol as including the most powerful magic users in the Dwendalian Empire. This organization has most of its members centered in Rexxentrum[1] with others scattered through the continent.
Those not allied with the Assembly seem wary of their growing power.[2] The Assembly and The Cobalt Soul are often at odds with each other.[3] Those allied with the Assembly, such as Pumat Sol, claim that they keep the Crown in check and prevent abuses of power. Their members have allegedly promoted learning in the middle to lower classes in Zadash[4].
Some mages of the Cerberus Assembly are involved in law enforcement of the Dwendalian Empire, serving as interrogators and executioners.[5] Assembly members are also involved in protecting the Empire against foreign invasions.
History 
Edit
Around 685 PD,[6] there was a war of Mage Houses within the Dwendalian Empire that nearly destroyed part of Rexxentrum. As part of the ceasefire, as opposed to being imprisoned the Mage Houses agreed to bind themselves to the Empire. The Cerberus Assembly was established as a power under rule of the king. It has since flourished, helping the Empire rise to power by conquering the Julous Dominion.[7]
Symbols Edit
The symbol of the Cerberus Assembly consists of three diamond-like shapes pointed inward toward themselves, and underneath, eight spires that curl up around it representing The Candles, the eight towers that encircle the stronghold where the King sits.[8]
