It doubles as a temple to [[The Vizier]], the Hour of order and paperwork. In his name they record all that goes on in the City, no matter how insignificant it may be. From rain to dirt to relics, if it passes through or happens in the First City, a record can be found in the Department's archives.

The masters of the First City, Representatives and usually Emanations of the Hours. The minister of the Great Serpent once held seniority over the others, but vanished following the Segmentation of the Serpent.

* [[The Apple-of-the-Eye#Jonquil|Jonquil]] represents [[The Apple-of-the-Eye]]. He doesn't seem to care much, but he gives out citizenships and architectural positions like cheap cigars.
