The Royal Eyes of Aundair serves as the crown’s elite covert force. Its operatives spy on other nations, pursue Aundair’s most notorious criminals, and undertake all sorts of cloak-and-dagger missions for Queen Aurala. The history of the Royal Eyes goes back to Lady Aundair herself, who had a handful of loyal agents she used to gather intelligence throughout the kingdom—and to watch the activities of her younger siblings.
Aundair is renowned for its wizards, and the Royal Eyes of Aundair excel at spellcraft and divination—almost every agent of the Royal Eyes has an arcane advantage. Agents spy on other nations, pursue notorious criminals, and engage in a host of other wand-and-dagger missions for the crown.
Aundair's intelligence agency, the Royal Eyes lack the sheer number of sources and boots on the ground that the Dark Lanterns cultivated prior to the outbreak of the Last War. Still, they are one of the premier intelligence agencies in Khorvaire, leaning on magical might from both spells and items to cover ground where they lack personnel.
While the Royal Eyes ultimately report to Aurala, the day-to-day operations are handled by her spymaster Thuel Racannoch. Thuel has only held the position for the past two years - he replaced Nara ir’Galanatyr, who retired under mysterious circumstances to Wyr shortly after Aurala signed the Treaty of Thronehold. Thuel is completely loyal to Aurala, having worked his way up the ranks the hard way over many years, without the usual benefit of an easy start granted to those of noble birth.
